Allies to Ignore
L. S. Consideration
Of Debts. ReparatiOns

Paris, July ?4-(By A. P.)-Gen-
eral consideration of allied debts in
their relation to the reparations
question now seems to be assured
for the forthcoming meeting of the
representatives Of the Allies in Lon
don. This was the conviction ex-
pressed today in reparations circles.
The Allies having conclusively de-
termined that the United States
government under no circumstances
purposes to be rawn into a confer
ence in which debt cancellation is
to be the chief topic of the Allied
governments, have decided to go a.
head independently of the United
States.

Washington, July 24-(By A. P)-'
While on the surface concrete devel-
opments in the railroad strike were
lacking in Washington today, the i'm
preston gained in official circles was
that the situation was being rapidly
shaken down" to a point where
new move by the administration could
be exepetced
Cabinet ministers who discussed
the situation invariably declared that
President Harding was in personal
charge of the question, and, though
there was more than the belief that
tn ecabinet would be called upon to
consider it at the regular session to-
morrow. no hint was forthcoming as
to the manner in which the Transport
| tation crisis will be laid before the
Presidents official family.
Further evidence was obtained,
however. that some of the chief ex-
ecutives advisers have urged that the
government can permit the breakdown
of the country's arteries of commerce
to go no further, while waiting for
the railroad arrangements and shop
men to dispose of their differences.
! Official reports have been received,
it is known, giving details given the
extent to which the strike has been
responsible for the almost total "blan-
keting" of the healthy business re-
vival in the United States, and. while
instances of direct interference with
the United States mails have recently
been conspiciously absent. postal in
spectors today recorded the further
annullment of important mail trains.
Some administration advisers who
ravor drastic move by the govern
ment are known to hold the view that
President Harding should demand
that the railroad executives make
every effort to restore interstate COM
merce, especially to the extent OF
abandoning their stand on seniority
issue-said to be the crux of the
whole strike question-whereupon the
disputants would e expected to come
together on the matter of a fair liv-
ing wage for railroa employees, con-
coded to be the remaining important
issue.
If the railroad executives refused,
it was declared. the president, salts
fed he has full authority and a duty
delegated to him by the constitution
to maintain Interstate commerce and
the mail service, could proceed to OPP
crate the roads. While the Esch.
Cummins act would be invoked for the
purpose as far as that would apply,
it was said the presidents main re-
lance would be the duty entrusted
to the chief executive under the con-
stitution.
The president, it is understood, has
been assured by his advisers that his
authority for decisive action. without
recourse to Congress. is without ques.
ton. Two courses would be open to
him in order physically to operate the

PUBLIC UTILITIES
HEARING ON CRASH
NEAR UNITY, NE,

Unity, Me-, July 24.-(SpeciaD. -
Hearing was held Monday forenoon
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion regarding the automobile and
railroad engine crash, Sunday morn
ing, July 16, in which six persons
were killed. The testimony of the
witnesses for the county and the
witnesses for the railroad had every
appearance of coinciding, with no
dispute of facts.
The members OF the crew in
charge of the Maine Central special
out of Belfast, early Sunday morn
ing, July 16, were the witnesses for
the railroad, and they included En-
gineer Harry Gordon OF Belfast,
Fireman Cook. Conductor fainter.
Baggagemaster Mcdonald and the
brakeman, all of Belfast.
The witnesses for the county were
DR.. 2. w. Whitaker, DR.. H. L.
Trueworthy E. B. Hunt, j. L. Ames,
Ralph Strout, a. L. Ward, Charles
Mitchell, J. II. Farwell, all Of Unity.
and DR.. o. S. Nickery of Belfast.
The testimony of those present at
the time of the accident, was prac-
tically the same. The fireman, who
testified he saw the accident, testi-
fed that the engine whistle was
blown. The engineer and the con-
ductor. who testified that they did
not see the accident, also testified
that the whistle was blown.
A great deal of time was taken in
making measurements, including the
distance of the bodies from the
crossing. The crossing was described
as being tagged six days in the week
but not on Sundays. At the point of
the side track, judging from the di-
rection in which the Inflated auto
party was coming, the track could
be seen 400 feet down. The side
track at that point is 60 feet from
the main track.
The members of the Public Utili-
ties Commission present at the hear
ing included Herbert w. Traitor and
Albert Greenlaw, Elmer E. Park
man, chief clerk, Frank A. Dolloff.
assistant inspector, and Ruel c.
Hanks official stenographer were
also present.

DIRECT CONTROL
BY POISONING WITH
CALCIUM ARSENATE

(Bv E. R. Lloyd and c. W. Watson)
The first question which occurs to
the cotton farmer contemplating
poisoning is whether it will pay to 90
so. From the following any cotton
grower should be able to determine
the question for HIMSELF:
- 1T WILL PAY TO POISON.
If the weevils I really lnJurlng
your crop SERIOUSLY; :,
If your land is sufficiently fertlle
to yield at Least one-haf bale per
acre with weevil injury eliminated;
If your farming. organizatloA -
such that you feel assured that the
poison applications will be made IN
the right manner; and
If you are willing to spend the full
amount necessary to provide an ade-
quate supply of busting machinery
and poison.
You should not poison if the cost
of the calcium arsenate, the cost OF
the l. Dor to apply it, and the iepre-
citation on the busting machines Will
total more per acre than current val
ue of 100 pounds of seed cotton.
Hand guns should be figured as de-
preciating 100 per cent in a season
and the larger machines about % per
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1922-06-09

The following condensed rules have
been prepared for the. guidance Of
those planning to poison:
Use only pure calcium arsenate in
the form of a dry powder. Apply
this only in the dust form.
Purchase this to conform to the
following specification, not less than
40 per cent total arsenic pentoxid.
Not more than OTIS per cent water
soluble arsenic pentoxid. Density
not less than 80 or than 100
cubic inches per pound.
Have your county agent send a
sample Of your calcium arsenate to
the Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La,
for free analysis to make sure that it
is satisfactory.
Use only busting machinery espec-
tally constructed for cotton busting.
Poison only when the air is calm
and the plants are moist. Practically
this means making only night appli-
cations.
Use about 5 to 7 pounds of calcium
arsenate per acre for each application.
Start poisoning when the weevils
have punctured from 10 to Is per
cent of the squares.
Keep your cotton thoroughly dust
ed until the weevils are under con-
troll. This usually mean about three
applications at the rate of one every
four days.
Then stop poisoning until the wee
wills again become abundant.
If the weevils become abundant
early enough to injure your young
bolls, make one or two more applica-
tions late in the season.

COTTON STATES SERUM CO.

The Sentinel sometimes thinks that
Grenada, indeed the surrounding ter
ritory and the State Of Mississippi,
have not really awakened to what the
Cotton States Serum plant IN Grena-
da means to the South. Just the 9TH
err day the writer was on, an Illinois
Central passenger train coming into
Grenada from the South in company
with one of the leading men of the
South. and when the Serum plant was
passed, he inquired, What sort of
an enterprise is that" and when told
that it was a plant for making a
serum which would save hogs from
cholera, he seemed little less than
astonished. Of course this gentleman
knew that there were plants making
this anti-hog cholera serum, but what
seemed to surprise him was that there
was an enterprise of that importance
at Grenada, and in Mississippi. Those
who have stopped to think, those who
have allowed their minds to ponder
over the great amount of hog meat
consumed throughout the world real
ize in some small degree, at least,
the millions Of dollars invested in
hogs. and the many millions of hogs
that it takes to feed the world. Like
wise, too, the contemplative, Informed
mind knows something about the de-
struction wrought in herds of swine
by cholera and the very great import
| ance of securing a medicine or serum
| which will make hogs immune from
cholera.
The Department of Animal Hus-
| bandry at Washington and veterinar-
ians throughout the country have un-
| derwritten anti-hog cholera serum.
| There is nothing equal to it to save
| hogs from cholera. The Department
of Animal Husbandry at Washington
is so interested in the manufacture
of anti-hog cholera serum that it has
placed a representative at the Cotton
States Serum Co., in the person OF
| that splendid mar and trained veterl-
| marian, DR.. J. S. Clark.
AS stated many times before IN
| these columns, this plant is n OF
only two plants Of the kind south OF
the Ohio river, and it is well to re
member that there are not but ABOUT
| a half dozen within the United States
So Grenada enjoys a unique dlstlnc'
ton in this regard.
Mr.. w. H. Kirk has been the man
ager of the Serum plant since Janu
airy.
Mr.. Kirk is one of Grenada's ag-
| gressive, wide-awake and thorough
going men who knows not only how
to do things himself but also know
how to direct others to do things. h
put new life and new energy into the
Serum plant and today numbers hl'
customers by the hundreds even II
the great northwest. Mr.. Kirk is {
splendid citizen and a be relied OF
at all times to keep faith with VIVA
he says and to put hustle and goot
business methods into any undertak
ing he connects himself with.
The Sentinel feels sure that tn
management of the Cotton States Ser
UNI Company would be glad to hav'
any visitors from Grenada or iron
any where else visit the plant at an!
time so as to see at first hand VIVA
big things are being done there.

V1KGIT X. JKMES HNNOUNg'
FOR CIRCUIT CLERK.

The Sentinel has been authorized
to place the candidacy of MI. Virgil
r. James before the voters of Grena-
da County for the office OF circuit
clerk for which an election has been
ordered June Oath.
In entering this race, Mr.. James re-
grets that the situation may prompt
some to say that he is a candidate
for every official vacancy. He begs
to remind the public that he has been
a candidate for but one County Of
flee outside of the Office of County
Superintendent of Education. The
people at large know the business sit
uation of the country and most peo-
pie realize, too, the difficulty of ones
getting employment. Mr.. James
moved to Grenada at the earnest so
licitation of the late Sheriff Beck
whose death brought about a change
in the office of deputy sheriff, hence
Mr.. James finds himself without en-
ployment. Circuit Clerk Barnes re-
signed and therefore someone must
be elected to the vacancy. Mr..
James feels that he is qualified for the
duties of the Office, a thing which
will not be gainsaid by anyone in the
County who knows him.
The Sentinel believes that Mr..
James will fill satisfactorily and well
the duties of the circuit clerks of
fee, if honored with an election, and
that he will make an accommodating
and obliging official. The time is so
short between now and the day of the
election that he will have he oppor-
tunity to see but few Of the voters
of the County. The Sentinel feels
sure that the voters will carefully
consider Mr.. James Willingness to
discharge the duties incur'tert upon
their circuit clerk for the balance of
this term.

"a hours after busting, repeat this
application Immediately.
Do not expect to eradicate the
weevils. Poisoning merely controls
them sufficiently to permit a full crop
of cotton and you can always find
weevils in the successfully poisoned
fields.
Keep your cotton acreage low and
do everything possible to increase
your yield per acre, as it costs just
as much to poison one-quarter bale
per acre cotton as bale per acre cot

Always leave an occasional portion
