forcing a smile to her lips, passed in

Billy-goat Hopkins had blinked many
times before his little mistress came
home. Larry Bishop had gone to his
lonely hut, and Daddy Hopkins and
Granny Hope were doing in front
Of the stove.
In nervous tension Polly watched the

under n arm. Polly's heart sang
with gladness. Out of the rigorS of
the Storm country, out Of the cold
ravine water, she had found another
little thing to care for.
jeremiah Hopkins and Larry Bishop
were in the shack when Polly arrived
with her burdens. With much pride
she displayed the lamb then she fed
him a portion of the milk with a spoon.
While she was preparing the evening
meal, she invited her fathers friend to
take potluck with them.
After supper she settled her family.
Wee Jerry she tucked into Daddy's
bed, and Granny Hope was made COM
Portable in a chair by the stove, where
she soon nodded off to sleep. Then,
the lamb in her lap and the billy goat
at her knee, Pollyop sat down on the
edge Of her cot, facing the two men.
She knew by the dark expressions on
their faces that a question Of import
had come up.
"Me an Larry, brat, have been try
in to think Of some way Of gettin' rid
of Old Mare" began Hopkins grimly.
Nervous brown fingers plucked at
the lambs wool as Polly, going white,
stared at her father.

dear, do your" she broke out. "Oh, If
that's what you're talkin' about, don't
do it. Don't do it, Daddy! Something
beautiful is goin' to happen to us
squatters. God up in the sky sent a
angel smack down from high heaven
to help u.s."
The serious, lovely face turned
pleadingly, truthfully up to his pre-
vented Hopkins from indulging his
desire to laugh. Polly turned and
looked at Larry. His dark face was
heavy with frown and deep, grief-cut
lines.
"There amt 0ny angels anywhere
but up there" muttered Larry Bishop,
making al upward thrust with his
thumb.
"Yep, there is, Larry" contradicted
Polly i%mpetuously. 81 seen n He's

He Is secretly married to Evelyn
Robertson. supposedly wealthy girl

The stranger sympathizes with the
squatters. and earns Polly's graft

from her mother that they are not
rich, as she supposed, but practi-

with a message to Bennett. telling
him she can give him no more

her infatuation with and marriage

next four weeks and oftener If wash
ed off by rain.
Take two pounds of calcium arse
nate, mix thoroughly with half gallon
of warm water and then add one gal
lon of molasses (the cheapest black
strap is best), applying to the cotton
with a mop. A drop or two in the bud
of each plant is sufficient. A very
small quantity appears to be as ef-
fective as a large quantity. The main
thing is to get it on at once and get
it properly distributed. After the
cotton is two or three feet tall mix
ture of 1-2 gallons of molasses, 7
1-2 gallons of water and 10 pounds
of arsenate may be applied with a
spray pump. We got good results
with this mixture last year, using an
orchard spray pump with five nozzels
easily covering 40 acres per day.
For some reason the extension bu-
reau is not recommending the use of
the calcium arsenate-molasses mix
ture in fighting the weevil, although
a circular issued by B. R. Coad of the
Tallulah laboratory and dated July 6,
1921, shows this method to be most
effective means of early season con-
troll under certain conditions and al
though the dusting method recon-
mended by them produced most dis
astrous results in some instances in
this section last year. In view of the
abundant evidence of the effective
ness of the calcium arsenate-molasses
treatment and especially in view Of
the fact that it's use involves an ex-
penditure of only ten cents to 20
cents per acre for materials per ap-
plication and can be mixed and ap-
piled by any tenant farmer, I cannot
understand their attitude, which is
still more difficult for me to under
stand because the busting method
recommended by them involves a
cost of several dollars per acre for
poison, an expensive machine and
night work; combination which is,
under present conditions, entirely out
of the reach Of the average tenant
farmer and of many land owners.
With the evidence at hand, I think
it probable that if the calcium arse
nate-molasses treatment is applied to
every acre of cotton in the state four
times during the next month, it may
result in an increase Of at least a
quarter million bales to the crop of
the state this year.

ABBEVILLE WEEViLS
ARE BOIL WEEVILS

M. B. Reese has handed the Press
and Banner the following letter re-
ceived from A. F. Conrad of Glenn
son College. Mr.. Reese sent a
sample of the weevils infesting the
cotton fields around Abbeville with
a request that the Department state
whether they were boil weevils or
not. Mr.. Conrad says that they are
boil weevils:
Mr.. M. B. Reese,
Abbeville, S. c.,
Dear Sir:
We have your letter of the 7th
together with insects which are boil
weevils.
So far as the effect of this insect
on the crop is concerned we will
say that this is difficult to forecast.
If the weather condition remains
wet, then we may expect very seri-
Gus damage to the cotton crop by
the boil weevil, while on the other
hand dry weather may set in which
may reduce this pest to where a
crop can be made regardless of it's
presence.
On many of the fields where cot
ton is very young in addition to the
boil weevils there are cow pea pod
weevils and in most cases these are
in the majority. We are enclosing
herewith letter which we prepared
last week for the press which covers
the situation.
Very truly yours,
A. F. Conrad,
Entomologist and Collaboration
of Bureau.
Current Suggestions on The Boil
Weevil Situation
1. The majority of the weevils
now reported in many Of the cotton
fields of the state are cow pea pod
weevils which are of only a tempo
rary injury. On very young cotton
we recommend the delay Of chop
ping until the main attack is over.
Cotton should be cultivated thor
oughly and frequently as soon as
far enough advanced.
2. The bulk of cotton in this
state being made by share croppers,
we suggest the picking of weevils
at this time by women and children
not otherwise employed. We do not
recommend the use of high priced
labor for this work.
Where poisoning is attempted we
recommend the following schedule:
Make the first application imme-
diately after fruiting begins. Make
the next application when 10 to Is
percent of the squares have been
punctured, followed by two appli-
cations four days apart.
In carefully conducted tests the
only profit secured so far was OBJ

powder properly applied, and for
