WASHINGTON, June 26-Jobn L.

Workers of America, who arrived in
Washington yesterday for a series os
conferences with government officials.
was to confer with Secretary of La
Dor Davis at IL o'clock and later ac-
companied by Secretary Davis, was to
discuss strike matters with President
Harding.
The union leader and Secretary Da-
Wis were the presidents guests ar
luncheon, and, it was said at the de-
partment of labor, that statement
probably would be issued aftervard
Mr.. Davis, prior to the meeting with
Mr.. Lewis, said that the entire coal
question probably would be discussed
and analyZed.
The expected conference between
the president and Mrs. Lewis was re-
garded by those generally conversant
with the strike situation as a possible
prelude 10 a general meeting between
the miners leaders and the operators
under White House auspices. Al
though the sentiment in the operators
organization is said to be against any
attempt at settlement of the strike
except through district and local
agreements, officials of the miners
unions and some operators are under
stood to believe some steps should
now be taken TO reach a basis for the
adjustment of differences.

FIVE AMERICANS TO
COMPETE WITH BRITISH

NEW YORK, June 24-Five Amer
leans, two women and three men,
will compete in the series of British
grass court championships at VIM
bledon, England, beginning Monday,
not, however, as an official team but
as individual entries. The United
States Lawn Tennis association de-
cided to concentrate its resources up
on team to defend the Davis cup,
emblematic of the worlds team
championship, thereby precluding Of
fetal sponsorship for the Wimbledon
classic.
The quintet which is entered is
the same as last year on the wo-
mans side, but due to the declination
of William 7. Tilden, I'd premier SIM
giles champion of the world, to play
abroad this year the mems section of
the invading five is not as strong as
last year. Chief interest is in Mrs.
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, five times
American champion, who failed at
Wimbledon last season.

other hand, wherever the land is.suf-
ficiently fertile to justify such an eff
fort, there IS much more assurance
Of profit frcm the operation than is
usually the case. The increase in the
cost per acre brought about by the
increased number Of applications nee
essary viii be far more than compen-
stated for by the fact that the weevil
damage without poisoning will be far
greater than normal, and thus the
margin of profit on the operation is
tremendously increased In other
words q greater expenditure per acre
for poisoning to successfully control
it, but it also means greater actual
net profit in dollars and cents per
acre from poisoning operations.

mendations for controlling this early
infestation of weevils.
Another very important effect of
this heavy infestation win be felt la
ter in the season. When the weevils
first emerge from Information and
reach the cotton field they move
around very little as long as they
can find an ample supply of unpunc-
tured squares for their use, but just
as soon as the infestation becomes
sufficiently heavy to puncture prac-
ticall all squares these weevils
start to move in search of fresh pas
lures. In an ordinary season this
means that you usually have only the
weevils bred in your own cotton to
contend with until some time from
the latter part of July to the last of

August, depending on the locality.
This year, however, this movement
Of migration OF. weevils w:ll probably
start several weeks earlier than us
ual. Consequently, it VIII not only
be necessary for you to start poison
ing earlier to control your own infes-
tation, but yen should also expect
that, before you have had time to
mature the fruit which your plants
have set during this period of protec-
ton, you vii lbegin to experience an
immigration of weevils from unpois-
oned cotton. Of course, this condi-
ton would not arise if every one in
district was successfully poisoning
his cotton; but this will not be the
case this year, and just as soon as all
squares in the imprisoned crops are
punctured the migration to the pois-
oned fields will commence. This
means that every day large crop Of
weevils will move into these poisoned
fields, and it is going to take con-
tinuous, thorough poisoning TO pro-
tect to maturity the crop which has
been allowed to set by the earlier
applications.
These two facts mean just this
Successful weevil control this year is
going to require more effort and
more poison per acre than has ever
been the case in the past. On the

ABUNDANCE OF SPRING WEEVILS TO NECESSiTATE SOME
MODIFICATION IN METHODS OF POISONING THESE PESTS
BYB.R. coAD AND c. A. MALoNEY.

For the past few weeks we have
been accommodating records on the
emergence of the boil weevil from
nearly all of the cotton states and
are finding universally, as we fore
casted some months ago, that the
number of over-wintered weevils is
far greater than usual; in fact, in
many districts where accurate counts
have been made it has been found
THAT we have in the fields now as
Imany boil weevils as are
ordinarily present month later when
1.-THE first summer-bred brood has start
ed to appear, With anything like
normal weather conditions this is
going to mean tremendously rapid
increase in the weevil damage, and
this will have an important bearing
on the program to be followed by
those using calcium arsenate for the
lcontrol Of the weevil.
In the first place it should be re-
Emembered that we recommend start
ling poisoning when from ten to fif-
teen per cent of the cotton squares
have been punctured by the weevil
AS a general gule this condition does
not arise until after the newly bred
weevile have started to emerge from
the squares. This year, however, we
have found many fields where there
are already sufficient weevils present
to destroy all squares practically as
fast as formed. In other words, such
cotton will never start blooming I'M
less the weevils are controlled, and
from the very outset 500 or more of
| the squares are punctured. Under
such conditions it is undoubtedly GO
ling to be necessary to poison earlier
than ever before. OF course there is
no advantage in poisoning cotton be-
fore the squares form, as the weevils
are continuing to emerge from hiber-
nation during this period and fur.
thermore they are doing the crop nc
harm. However, where such a heavy
Iinfestation occurs it will be advisable
to make the first application just as
lsoon as the cotton starts squaring
freely, or about the time the plant:
leverage from A to 5 squares each

CALM ATMOSPHERE MOST M
PORTANT IN APPLYING CAL
CUM ARSENATE FOR THE
POISONING OF BOIL WEEVILS

A calm atmosphere is the most
important thing to be considered
when applying calcium arsenate TO
cotton to cotrol the boil weevil-
moisture on the cotton plants. Sue
cess depends on getting all the
plant surfaces thoroughly covered
with the fine particles of POISON
dust. The dust comes out of the
machine in a cloud and hangs in
the air for a time before settling.
If the wind blows during this time,
much Of it never settles where it IS
wanted but drifts beyond the cot
ton to other crops or to weed
patches, or is dissiuated by the
wind. 1t is not always possible,
of course, to get a perfectly calm
atmosphere at the time the busting
must be done, but specialists urge
that the absence of wind be made
a primary consideration.
