HAS DOZIER HILL REALLY
SOLVED WEEVIL MENACE?

Has Dozier Hill really solved
the problem of boil weevil con-
troll? He claims he has, and in this
assertion he is booked by no less an
authority than j. S. Wannamaker,
president of the American Cotton
association. Authorities of the
federal and state departments of
agriculture arc not so sanguine
concerning the Hill method. George
O. Marshall oracle, of Sumter cot
ton farmers, says he isn't sure.
IN fact, George says his advice is
to stick to busting until the de-
partmcnt of agriculture places it's
stamp of approval on another
method.
Yet the Hill method presents an
interesting study. One of the
really big problems encountered in
busting with calcium arsenate is
the scarcity Of that poison. The
usually well informed Manufac7
turers' Record says that "if all the
calcium arsenate in the world to-
day could be secured for this pur-
pose, we would only have a suffic-
lent quantity, as shown by the best
experts, to apply to 100000 acres
If cotton, which is less than one
fifth of the cotton crop. One of
The chief virtues claimed for the
Hill method is that is requires only
about Is per cent as much cacium
arscnate as is necessary in the
busting method. 1t can be applied,
the inventor claims, at a cost Of
$500 to $500 an acre.
One matter of complete differ
ence between Hill and experts of
the department of agriculture con-
corning the hazards of the boil
weevil is this: Hill insists that the
bell weevil feeds not upon the
squares, forms and bolls, but that
the puncturing of these is done for
the purpose of egg-laying; that
both the male and female puncture
the squares for the purpose of
furnishing nest for the eggs, and
that the boil weevil absolutely
feeds upon the bloom of the cot
ton. Until the weevil can get food
from the bloom, he sucks his food
from the tender leaves of the cot
ton found in the heart of the stalk.
Hills poison has the odor of the
cotton bloom, and he claims by APP
plying it in the heart of the cot
ton stalk the weevil is attracted
there,
Applying the Hill. method, one
woman living in Burke county, Ga,
produced II bales of lint cotton on
Is acres. On Hills main plantation
of 500 acres at Cough, Ca, last
year, he raised 600 bales and his
tenants achieved like amazing re-
suits. The composition of his mix
lure Hill describes as ordinary mo-
lasses, calcium arsenate, "and one
secret ingredient" The success he
has attained, apparently, warrants
federal investigation of his
method. If Hill really has solved
the menace of the boil weevil, he
is entitled to be paid handsomely.
But his method must be made avail
able to every farmer, at minimum
cost. No man should be permitted
to hold secret the formula of a
really successful boil weevil poison
mixture.

TO THE TRAFFIC COP
BY BERToN BRALEY.

Dear officer | understand
How much you aid the motor traffic,
honor your uplifted hand
And all your signals, clear and graphic.
By no means do / hold you cheap;
Without you, traffics always tangled,
value much the way you keep
Pedestrians from getting mangled.
But when I read your signals wrong,
AS enc will do on. some occasion,
You needn't make your voice so strong;
can respond to mild persuasion.
Il am reckless, you may shout,
No doubt that carries more conviction
But why so hoarseIy bawl me out
For every minor derelction?
don't inten to break the law,
And if I do-you can arrest me-,
But otherwise, why break your jaw
Abusing me? If you will test me
With language moderate, though stern,
You'll find it really quite effective.
Yes, honestly, you needn't burn
My cars wish purplc-t3ned invective
l try to do what you direct
l recognize your legal rightness.
And in return mayrt I expect
Perhaps little more politeness?
Pm not crook, CT wicked crimes
l am by no means eontriver;
Treat me with courtesy, at times.
I am yours truly,
Any Driver

Cotton Prices Strong,
But Recede at Periods

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Cotton
values exhibited firmness In the
main today. but there were reces.
sions at intervals. Dealings were
not large and 1t was predicted that
trading would remain light until
after the issuance of the Govern
ment crop estimate on December IL.
II was thought that the official
statement would show approximately
100000 bales. The Census Bu-
reau will issue It's report on the
quantity ginned prior to December
at 10 e. m. tomorrow. and a
Southern association forecast the
quantity turned out to December l
at 9,s25.000 bales and the amount
remaining to be ginned at $4,000
bales.
The demand slackened after 1
O'Clock and the market turned easy
under profittaking and selling by
lccal operators. The pressure was
not great. This carried quotations
into new high ground for the ses-
sion. Later profit-taking developed
and the list reacted a few points,
but closed steady at a net gain of
to IL points.
