Before we entered the World War
business was in much the same con-
dition as II is at the present time.
The factories were closed or working
on part time. A. consequence the
hardships were beginning TO be felt
TO some extent. The farmer could
not find a sale for his product and
when he did the prices were ex-
tremely low. Today the farmers are
experiencing much the same con-
dltion. This. however, is the after
effect OF the war; too much pros
perity in rush. and now the re-
construction period.
I'm 1917 we were confronted with
a herculean task OF getting mon

he shrink from his equally important
task OF producing tho necessities OF
life both for home consumption and
for the soldlers1 I feel that the
farmer did his part. his duty-nobly
and patriotically and deserves great
praise for working the long hours
necessary TO produce his crops.
''He also gave his share OF blood
that crimsoned the white SHOWS and
saturated the nelds OF France. They
were taken from their happy homes
and their firesides; from their
mothers and their friends to be sac
rinced upon the altar for humanity
and civilization.

OLD CONVICT TELLS
SOURCE OF CRIMINALS
SAYS HOME LIFE AND BREAK
ING UP GANGS AND CROOK
ED LAWYERS is CURE.

CHICAGO, Straight from the
lips of criminals the special committee
of the American Bar Association to-
day received information as to the rea-
son for the appalling prevalence and
growth of crime and hints as to how
best the epidemic may be cured.
"Association and environment-gang
life" was given by an old timer at
Toilet penitentiary as the chief source
of criminals. The crowd a fellow runs
with when he is growing up makes
or breaks him. A boy without proper
supervision starts out all wrong in a
big town. He gets to running with
women. He can't make money enough
to stand the pace so he goes crooked.
He gets in with a gang, because he
knows the gang can keep him out Of
Jail and off the gallows.
The Gang System.

it does now a crook who is a member

fessional bondsmen will fix it for him.

Government Advises for WeeviI Poison

control was lost after plants passed A
few inches in height. In FIVE out OF
six field trials the plats treated with
dry calcium arsenate made more cot
ton than the corresponding plats treat
ed with molaSses-calcium arsenate, the
difference ranging as high as 500
pounds of seed cotton to the acre. In
one trial an imprisoned check plat
made 80 pounds more seed cotton to
the acre than the corresponding plat
poisoned with molasses-calcium arsen-
ate.
Careful figures were kept as to the
relative cost of the two systems of
poisoning. The cost of materials for
the dry calcium arsenate system was
65 cents per acre for each application
The cost of materials for the molasses-
calcium arsenate treatment ranged
from 70 cents per acre for each APP
plication when black strap molasses
was used to $149 per acre for each
application when table syrup was used,
The man labor cost of applying the
poison was IA cents per acre per ap-
plication for dry calcium arsenate and
p cents for the molasses mixture. The
machinery cost for applying the dry
calcium arsenate averaged IS cents per
acre for each application. The molasses
mixture was applied with homemade
mops and no machinery cost was fig
ured against it, though this item would
have to be figured in plantation scale
operations. Even with this advantage
the total cost of applying the molasses
mixture ranged from 81 cents to $1.71
against an average of "a cents for the
dry calcium arsenate.
The department concludes, there
fore, that the use Of the molasses mix
ture is not justified either on the
ground of control or economy. Farm
ers who wish more detailed informa-
ton on this subject can have it free
by writing the Delta Laboratory, Tai
1ulah La, where the boil weevil work
of the department is conferred
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1922-05-30

In poisoning the cotton boil weevil
with calcium arsenate nothing is gam
ed and a great deal is lost by mixing
the poison with molasses or molasses
and water, say the boil weevil spe-
cialists OF the United States depart
ment of agriculture 1t is better, they
say. to stick to dry calcium arsenate
busted on the plants as recommended
bv the department for several years
past. This announcement is based on
panstaking trials of the molasses mix
lures conducted at the Delta Labora-
other points in The cotton belt, and
on observations of results secured by
farmers in various states who attempt
ed last year to follow the molasses
method.
The department authorities state that
the molaSses-CalCium arsenate method
does exercise a measure OF control I'M
der certain favorable conditions for a
short period, but it is less effective
than dry calcium arsenate and it costs
more. The department found long ago
that success in boil weevil poisoning
depends on complete covering OF the
plants with the poison, and this can
be accomplished only by app lying It
in the form OF dust cloud that will
settle down over all surfaces OF the
plants.
The methods of application recon-
mended by the advocates of the mo-
lasses mixtures were tried out by the
department years ago and found I'M
workable, but they were given anoth-
er thorough trial last season after the
molasses method began to be again
widely advocated in the more newly
infested portions of the cotton belt
The molasses-calcium arsenate mixture
was found to exercise a considerable
measure of control over the weevil in
very dry weather and when the plants
were very small. The control was lost
with the coming of wet weather and,
even when the weather continued dry,

Many women have come to know
that sex isn't the reason for all back

AMERICAN FIRM FINDS
OIL IN HOLY LAND
SINK WELLS NEAR OLD WALL
OF JERICHO. DESTROYED
SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

The British government, which at
ter the world war was made the guar
dian of Palestine, has granted the
Standard Oil Company of the United
States the privilege of sinking oil
wells in the Holy Land. The first
wells will be sunk around Jericho, and
on the plains between the ruins OF
that ancient city and the Dead Sea.
The greatest interest in this under
taking is that the tremendous treas
ury Of oil to be tapped is what science
believes to have been the cause OF the
destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah,
the wicked cities of the plain" and
to have had also much to do with the
collapse Of the walls of ancient Jeri-
cho when Joshua and the armies OF
Israel beseiged it.
Scientists assert that the entire
country there is underlaid with oil
wells, and that the destruction OF
Sodom and Gomorrah, as described in
the Bible, was the natural result OF
the pentup condition OF the strata OF
oil beneath the earth's surface. They
point out that similar eruptions have
been seen in the oil region OF North
America, and that the destruction OF
the cities was caused without doubt
by the oil eruptions.
The turning OF Lots wife into a
pillar of salt is explained by scientists
as due to natural causes also. They
assert that salt water and brine are
always found in oil fields and that
Lots wife, lingering behind when the
others fed, was overtaken by wave
or covered by a geyser Of strongly
concentrated brine and, smothered by
ii, was found later so encrusted with
the crystals as to resemble a pillar
Of salt"
The collapse OF the walls of Jericho
is explained by scientists who say
that the army OF 100000 men, march
ing around the walls for seven days,
caused an earthquake common in that
locality They point out that the es-
cape 81 d large pocket of gas and the
collapse of the pockets walls might
easily have produced shifting Of the
earth under the city, which would be
aided by the heavy army marching
continually around the walls.
