Molasses Mixture
Found Effective
Does No Damage to Crops De-
spite .sTheorizing" to Con-
trary. COker Finds

To the Editor Of The State:
I notice in your issue Of July 26
that our friend, c. A. Whittle, is
still rheorizing to the detriment Of
the calcium arSenate-molaSseS
method of weevi, control. This is
to inform my friends that we
have found the calcium arsenate-
moiasses method effective right up
to the present, although, we have
had rain on % different days since
June l9. We have made an ap-
pIication of the mixture to our cot
ton this week with apparently good
effect. We have some boil weevil
but except in few spots: they
have done no serious damage and
we expect to get these spots under
control. We had some bad spots
two weeks ago which are not now
giving trouble as, we brought them
under control by thorough poison
ing with the mixture.
I have never seen the slightest
evidence Of any damage to the
cotton plant from applications OF
calcium arsenate and molasses in
any form, Mr.. Whites theories
to the contrary. Mr.. Whittle says
that calcium arsenate dust has
stood the test One of my men
travelled more than 1,c00 miles
through Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi last summer and never
saw but one man using this meth
cd of control. while thousands of
farmers in South Carolina are
using the molasses mixture.
II is certainly true that no
method Of weevil control has had
a fair test Or can produce maxi
mum results during such a season
of abnormal and frequent rainfall
as this. 1t is equally true. how"
ever. that the farmers in this Sec
ton who have regularly and intel
Igently used the sweetened poison
are sure that it has paid them
handsomely and the best proof OF
this is the grown fruit on the
crops themselves.
L
paper letter from G. B. kittreil
in advocacy of the molasses mix
ture and am glad TO see his testl-
mony. He says. however. that he
supposes most people will give me
the credit for the. discovery OF this
method. There is no excuse for
him to say this. as I have never
made any such claim and have fre-
euently referred to the experience
of G.. NJ. Norris Of Vance. L. b.

We're using it before ever heard
of it. Ny sole purpose in giving
the farmers information about this
method is to benefit them and as-
ricultural conditions generally in

ONLY HOPE OF

Lloyd George S ay S
That Militarists Are
Preparing NJ o T e
Terrible Engines Of
Destruction

London, July % (By the Asso-
ciated Press)). More terrible
machines than in the late war are
being constructed, said Prime
Minister Lloyd George at lunch
con given by 800 prominent Free
churchmen today.
What for?" he asked and con-
tinued:
ITO attack cities and MAIN, de-
stroy and burn helpless women
and children Keep your eyes or
what is happening. If the
churches of Europe and America
allow that to fruetify, they had
better close their doors.
I'VE reduced our armaments and
if other nations follow the exam
pie, there will be no serious men
ace to peace, but it is difficult for
nation to remain defenseless
while others are preparing for
war"
Mr.. Lloyd George said that the
next war, if it came, would be a
war on civilization itself. Speaking
Of the suddenness in which waE
came. he said:
The war germ is like any other
germ-you do not know that you
have it until it has got you. 1t is
of no use arguing with an epileptic
when the fit is on him. There is
that atmosphere in the world now
and the explosive material is scat
tered over the face of Europe.
When a match e dropped it is
too late to wave the covenant OF
the league Of nations. It is the
new spirit that is wanted. Loci
up the explosives and especially
lock up those given to dropping
machines. The churches must pro-
mote the new spirit which IS
necessary"
The prime minister said that ne
attached high hopes to the league
Of nations. He said that ciyiliza-
ton would be safe if the league
succeeded. If it failed, civilization
was doomed, he thought.

and fuel Oil.
The Norfolk & Western, Chesa-
peake & Ohio and Louisville &
Nashville, three railroads which
traverse important coal producing
sections, today reported institution
of embargoes over their lines
against all freight except foodstuffs,
live stock and fuel. The roads act

formal announcement by the inter-
state commerce commission that all
emergency existed which impelled
it to authorize roads whose nor
NAL operation had been affected
by the strike to establish priority
in certain classes Of transporta-
ton.
While it was made clear at the
White House that the administra
ton supervision Of coal distribu-
ton would beadirected to the end
that the fuel supply might be
equitably divided among all users
entitled to consideration, it was
added that no objection woui1 be
made if state authorities went
ahead-as has been the case in
Indiana and Michgan-with sepa-
rate efforts to provide coal for the
people within their jurisdiction.

help me until I got hold OF Taniac:

was complaining that ] would not
eat a thing she cooked, but now
Its right the other way, for she
isays I don't seem to be able to
eat enough to satisfy my big
Iappetite. But she is as pleased
with Tanlac as / am and is now
taking 1t herself.
"Tanlac has certainly done a

steam sizes are SO strong that con-
sumption equals production.
Demand for .bitumipous, although great
er than few weeks ago, shows no in
crease since last week. The lower grades
manifest an upward tendency, but there
is inclination to shade prices on large
orders. Shipments to Canada and New
England have increased.
Some soft-coa1 operators appear en-
couraged by the miners demands for q
six hour day and a fve-day week. as
they predict such terms will help to turn
public opinion against the men. Few
consider the demands seriously and most
operators assert they have been made as
q basis of negotiation.
TWO DOMESTIC
SIZES ELIMINATED.
The anthracite trade is watching
closely the experiment Of the Lehtgh Goa
and Navigation Company to eliminate
two of the domestic sizes as an aid t.
cheaper distribution.
An official statement Of the Pennsyl
vania Retail Coal Merchants Association
on the change says: 1.-THE new range
size will be sold at 30 cents a ton unde
the price Of stove coal, and, in add
ton, the product will be Of unquestionet
