Boil Weeyil Control in 1922.

1. Cultivate frequently and shall
low to keep down weeds.
2. Weevils may be picked to ad-
vantage before squares appear
whenever cheap labor that costs
practically nothing in cash is avail
able and provided picking is done
with utmost care.
5. Square collecting may be
helpful where cheap labor is avail
able, beginning ten days after
first bloom and picking every in
tested square on the ground and
on the plants every five days.
4. The following are the condl-
tons under which poisoning may
be expected to be profitable. (a)
On high yielding land. (b) Where
weevil infestation is heavy. (c)
The use of an approved dustins
machine capable of covering the
acreage for the application, accord
ing to an approved plan, of cal
cium arsenate meeting the govern
ment specifications. Cd Under
reasonably favorable weather con-
ditions.
Information in regard to ma
chimes and calcium arsenate may
be obtained from the county
agents.
The only profitable results so far
secured in. carefully conducted tests
by federal and state agencies were
secured by the use of calcium ar
senate in dust form properly ap-
piled.
Poison only when the air is
calm and the plants are moist,
using from five to seven pounds per
acre for each application. When
weevils are abundant when fruit
ing of cotton begins. one applica-
ton may be made at that time.
Use no calcium arsenate that has
not been examined by federal or
state authorities and pronounced
satisfactory. The next application
should be made when the weevils
have punctured from ten TO fifteen
per cent of the squares. followed
by two additional applications four
days apart. 1nfestation counts
should be made frequently and can
be made by any farmer who fol-
lows. the simple directions furnish
ed upon application. The object
is 70 keep the cotton thoroughly
busted until the wccvi!s are under
control. This may require a vary
;nS number of applications Of poi
son, depending on the season and
other conditions. If weevils should
become sufficiently numerous to
severely injure the young bolls, one
or two more applications late in
the season should he made
In case OF Il heavy rain within
twcnty-four hours after busting, the
application should be repeated i'm
mediately Always Il carefully Sc
lected plot Of cotton should be left
imprisoned for comparison with
the adjoining poisoned tract. This
will help to determine how much

oninS
5. Rush picking and plow under
stalks as early as practicable.
6. Follow cotton with d cover

T. Practice clean farming in or

that offer shelter to the boil weevil

GREAT CROOK PLAY

One of the finest of the so-called
crook plays ever shown in this town,
will be displayed at the Opera House
next Saturday. 1t is Proxies" a
superb Cosmopolitan production for
Paramount and the leading roles are
played by such artists as Norman
Kerry, Zena Keefe, Raye Dean, Paul
Everton and William H. Tooker The
story tells of the efforts of former
crook to live straight, and of the diff
ficulties he meets with in the opera
ton. But he manages to win out in
the end, after many thrilling happen
ings however. The love element is
highly captivating.

State Offers
Vacationists Rest
Many Excellent Places to Shake
Worries Of Town and
CITY from Brain

With its large amount OF shore line,
Delaware affords considerable space
for those who want vacations along
the water, and as a result of the idea
developed in the last ten or twenty
years, of taking a summer vacation
away from work, an idea which even
the farmers have adopted and which
they claim pays them in good health
and in renewed vigor for their work
on their return to the farms, Della
ware is building number of small
summer resorts. 1t looks as if some
day they will become large ones. Re-
hoboth Beach is, of course, a large
and prosperous resort, but outside OF
that particular one, local residents
have established smaller places where
a good time caan be enjoyed without
so many of the frills of regular life,
and where a very cheap vacation can
be enjoyed. Fenwicks island down
on Assawawamn bay and the Allan
tic ocean is at the lowest end OF the
state and there is two weeks camp
meeting where the farmers flock in
attendance. Corn is "laid by" and
the farmers take a rest in small
lean-to, in courtesy called a scot
tage," where for few dollars week
they can enjoy a rest, and at the
same time enjoy the religious fervor
of a campmeeting. Other places are
Bethany Beach on the ocean, Lewes
Beach at the breakwater, where the
ocean and the Delaware bay meet;
Broadkiln Beach, Slaughter Beach
both old-time beaches, enjoyed for
many years on the Delaware bay by
nearby farmers. Then the famous
fishing grounds of Bowers Beach ane
ON the more pretentious beaches
around Wilmington, where the city
crowds enjoy themselves. 1t is a
the smaller places, however, where
Newark post., 1922-07-26

the tired city workers enjoy their real
rest, for it takes neither stiff collars
nor even shoes to move in select So
ciety at these beaches. Every one
goes as he pleases, there is plenty
of fishing, grabbing, boating and bath
ing, and it does not cost much. Veg
etables are cheaper than they are in
the city; fish is free, and cottages
rent for about S. week. When city
people awake to the cheapness of va
cations along the Delaware shore and
when the cement roads are fully COM
pleted so that the city worker can
slip back and forth to his work over
concrete roads, Delaware will be one
string of shore resorts during the
coming summers.

Local Invention
Going Forward
R. A. Whittingham's Atlas Axle to
Be Used in Modern Bus
Construction

Announcement was recently made
of the combination of the interests OF
the American Machine Company, of
Newark and the Lobdell Car Wheel
Company, of Wilmington. The reason
for the combination of these interests
was for the manufacture of the Atlas
Axle. This axle is real Newark
product.
The combination of these two shops
takes an industry away from Newark
and brings a new one, known as the
Atlas Axle Company, to Wilmington.
This new company was incorporated
in June. The Lobdell Company will
continue to function and manufacture
car wheels and special machines, in
which work it has been engaged since
1886.
The new company results from the
work of the company that formerly
occupied shop on Cleveland avenue
The American Machine Co. will be
dissolved.
There is a great deal of local inter-
est in the new company as the vice.
president and sales manager, Richard
R. Whittingham, is from here and it
will be of interest to note that the
Whittingham family will in October
move into their former residence,
Linden Hall, on Depot Road.
The Atlas axle, as the product of
the new company will be known, is
the result of the work of r. A. Whit
tingham, a resident of Newark and a
graduate from Delaware College
Mr.. Whittingham, who is responsible
for the original axle design, will act
as chief engineer of the new company
in consulting capacity. The capital
ization of the new company is $780,,
900.
For the immediate present, produc.
tion will be confined to the various
models of the special motor bus rear
axle designated as the LC series. This
is a highly specialized design incor
porating a one-piece cast housing Of
box girder offset fro mthe whee
spindles, thus providing very low
spring mounting. 1t is the origina
low center of gravity motor bus real
axle which affords a very desirable
low floor heighth of approximately q
inches which has become so popular il
the truly modern motor bus as dis
tinguished from adapted and convert
ed motor truck chassis. The invention
of the Newark man fulfills the de
mands of this modern construction a
it permits the low floor heighth ant
corresponding low center of gravit.
without kicking up the frame or un
derslinging the springs. Deliveries ol
these axles will start in short time
The local shop of the American
Machine Co. served as an expert
mental shop on the work of this axl
where developments and tests Of tn
Atlas Axle were conducted for tn
past three years.

Time was back in 1869 when the
Cincinnati Red Stockings went
through the entire season without
suffering defeat, and that record
has stood till this day. All the play
crs wore whiskers. Maybe that had
something to do with it-for it took
the Reds exactly sixty years to win
another championship.
George Wright, captain and cham
pion batsman of the old 69ers, made
fOrty-nine home runs and never
struck out. Asa Brainard won forty
two straight games and he pitched
two to five times week. The 69ers
were the first salaried team. After
them came the deluge, for the "Cincy"
fans until the odorus affair Of 1919.

CLEVER IDEA IN
"VHO'S WHO" CONTEST

Manager Garner of the Casino the
alter has worked out most clever
and unique idea in the who's Who"
contest which is being shown on the
screen at this popular movie house
this week. The idea involves a spirit
of fun as we'll as holding a personal
appeal that should be resultful for
those merchants and business men
who have entered the contest.
Twenty-seven pictures constitute
the program each one showing a rear
view of some Lakeland business man.
The idea is to have patrons Of the
theatre guess who these men are and
the successful contestants will be
awarded cash prizes to the total
amount of $4,000.
The contest is causing considerable
favorable comment, much interest be-
ing displayed by the patrons of the
theater who have seen the pictures.
