RED CROSS IN NEED OF PRO.
VISIONS FOR FLOOD
SUFFERERS.

Prompt response has been made to
the appeal for 100000 to extend
relief work among $4,000 sufferer.
in the flood stricken areas of the
Mississippi Valley, Harry L. Hopkins
manager Of the Southern Division OF
the American Red Cross, announced
Saturday.
Not only in the South, where in.
terest in the flood sufferers is
naturally greatest, but in every part
Of the country, money is coming into
local Red Gross chapters for relief
among the destitute, homeless and
hungry refugees in the stricken dis
tricts. Although the total amounts so
far contributed have not yet been
tabulated early indications are that
the response to this appeal will be
generous.
The Red Cross appeal was made
through local chapters after the flood
situation, the most serious in recent
years if not in history, became such
that fund Of 100000 set aside
by the Red Cross relief measures
became inadequate to care for the
refugees. All contributions are being
made through the local chapters Of
the Red Cross and the money is
being applied to actual relief work
as fast as it reaches national head
quarters.
In the meantime conditions con-
tinue to grow more serious and daily
an increased number of refugees
seek food and shelter in the six Red
Cross tent camps that have been
established as close to the flood
regions as is practicable. Two special
flood committees, directed by Jo-
seph C. Logan, assistant manager of
the Southern Division of the Red
Cross, and Miss Belle Pike, special
Red Cross representative, are ad-
ministering the work.
Thirty-nine special Red Cross
workers, twenty in Mississippi and
nineteen in Louisiana, are now in the
flooded district. Supplies, clothing,
tents, cots, blankets, and field
kitchens have been distributed in
large numbers to the sufferers.
The problem Of food, both for the
refugees. and the live stock, is pre-
senting the most serious problem to
the Red Cross workers and most of
the funds now being raised will be
used to assure food supply for the
sufferers. Thousands Of the destitute
refugees were actually starving when
they arrived in the Red Cross camps
on RATS and boats, and the existing
food supply is being rapidly depleted.
Unless more is provided shortly
thousands will soon be on the verge
Of starvation, according to Red
Cross workers in the district.

HOW TO FIGHT BOIL WEEVIL
WITH POISON.

"If you are going to fight the boil
weevil for the cotton crop, have a
crop worth fighting for"
In certain sections where the use
of commercial fertilizer is necessary
to produce a full crop, many farmers
are disposed to figure that if they poi
son they cannot afford the additional
cost of fertilizer. "But," say the boil
weevil specialists, eff you are going
to poison, you can't afford not to
fertilize." "If you fertilize, you can't
afford not to poison" One is an in
surance policy to protect the other.
At least, that is the government view
of the matter, based on years Of ex-
Fermentation by specialists of the
Department of Agriculture at the
Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La, and
observations covering the entire cot
ton belt.
"There is a tendency" says B. R.
Coad, director of the laboratory, ITO
expect the impossible Of poisoning
with calcium arsenate. Now, calcium
arsenate dust is the one thing, - far
as anybody knows, that will control
the boil weevil, but is all it does.
It will not produce any more cotton
than the ground would produce if
there were no boil weevils. A great
many farmers, however, get the idea
that if they must bear the expense of
poisoning they can not afford to buy
fertilizer. Others get the idea that if
they buy fertilizer they can't afford
the expense Of poisoning. Both class
es Of farmers throw money away.
Highly fortified ground will, Of
grow more cotton sometimes
than the weevils can destroy. If it
is exceptionally good ground, it may
grow SO much that the owner does
not notice the boil weevil injury and
probably thinks he is making a full
crop. The management Of the big
gest plantations in the delta-which
means one Of the biggest in the
world-thought just that way until
we persuaded them to try poisoning
as q check. They use calcium arse
nate over the entire plantation now,
and it has increased the yields
great deal.
"But all the increase in cotton that
ian be got by poisoning on poor land
does not pay the cost Of the opera
ion. Liberal use of fertilizer and
good cultivation are essential to real
success with poisoning on that kind
# land. Otherwise, you are likely
% save a crop from the weevil that is
rot worth saving. If the farmers of
he cotton belt will realize that fact,
will save next season sew
raj times more money rnan it ever
las saved before. =!
eve are, of course, tremendously
Interested in seeing the cotton grow
'rs realize hard dollars on calcium
poisoning. Some Of us have |
pent the best years Of our lives in
nsking it possible for them to do
hat and we naturally do not like
o see the opportunity thrown away
or the lack Of enough fertilizer to
make q crop. It is equally painful
o US to see well fortified land pro-
lucing poor crops for lack of
The more you fertilize,
he more you can afford to poison.
Ind the more you poison the more
on can afford to fertilize."
The Delta Laboratory, Tallulah,
a., will furnish specific information
long this line to farmers who write
or it.
