CALCIUM ARsENATE, DUST FORM

Cokcr Finds Liquid Advunta-
EcOuS at Present.

Recently we had called to our at
tention a circular with reference to
one Of the many commercial boil wee
vii 'prcycntives' or sure killers and
We suggested that our friend submit
the matter to Geo. r. briggs, Oconee
Farm Agent, who forwarded it to
Clemson College for an opinion. The
following, emitting name Of party to
whom the circular was sent and the
name OF the preparation, is the reply
received from experts at Clemson:
Clemson College, June 13.
Dear Sir:
we have a letter from Mr.. Briggs
with enclosure Of circular on ="
This material is made in
Ga, with headquarters, as far as T
KNOW, at -------, Ga. The DreDar-
alton consists Of calcium arsenate.
molasses and other ingredients, which
or course, may be anything, and
therefore, constitutes one Of the very
many swcetened poisons.
In going over the records and re-
ports with great care last summer it
was found, as had been found before.
that wherever profitable results we're
secured, that they were secured by
tho proper use Of calcium arsena.e
dry dust, and not by the use of the
liquid or sweetened poison.
Very truly yours,

TO The Editor OF the News and Cou
rier, tCharlcston):
as boil wccvils are now rcportcd
in greater or less quantities on near
~ every farm in the State, and as the
weather thus far has been ideal for
thelr propa cation, it looks as if there
is small chance Of producing fair
crop OF cotton unless some cheap and
effective method Of checking them is
found and put into effect immedi-
ately.
have heretofore recommended
that the farmers experiment with a
mixture of calcium arsenate and mo-
laSses, having both experienced and
heard or good results from this treat
mcnt, and knowing that the expense
or the use Of this mixture is so small
mat failure to secure results would
mol mean very heavy loss.
During the past few days ! have
become thoroughly convinced that
this treatment is extremely effective.
On Friday, the 9th instant, on our
rcdigrccd seed farm, eleven live act
i've weevils were placed on a few
stalks of cotton upon which few
crops Of the molasses mixture had
pecn placed. a few hours later our
cXperimcntcrs found eight dead vice.
Wis ana no live ones on these stalks.
Cn May 30 }. w. Goodson treated
half OF a field with this mixture. and
on June he carefully examined this
Iield and found hundreds Of weeyils
on the untrcatcd cotton and very few
on the treated cotton. He is abso-
lutciy convinced Of the great value
or this treatment, as are Randolph
Hiilespie, George Nowson and George
W. Threat, OF this section; A. II.
Aogers, OF Society Hill, and r. Lee
BASS. OF Lanes, all Of whom have
mado tests with this mixture. In
1act' know OF no test that has been
made which failed to result in kill
ing high per cent Of the wcevils on
Inc treated cotton.
| believe that if every farmer will
make an application Of the calcium
aTScnate-molasses mixture this week
SIC VIII make great deal more cot
ton than otherwise. Wecyils arc al
ready puncturing the forms on I'll Q
Old cotton, and these should be caro-
1dily picked up. Additional applica-
tons or the molasscs mixture Should
be applied least once per week for
the next four weeks, and oftcner II
washed off by rain.

nte, mix thoroughly with one-half

Hard to Reconcile,

The widely divergent opinions set
| forth by the authorities of Clemson
college and by Mr.. Cokcr, the latter
recognized as one of the foremost
and most Intelligent farmers OF the
South, tho former embodying the
best thought of the agricultural de-
partment. backed BY long experiment
tatlon along the line Of wceyil con-
troll, are hard to reconcile. We do
Eot believe that ID. r. Coker would
give out anything that would be in
curious to the farmers Of our State.
We are ready to go farther than that
i'll the premises: we know that he
would not recommend anything that
would possibly give injurious results.
lie has no interests whatever in the
premises to be advanced by his rec
ommending the method he has tried
out. He has nothing to sell; there
is no revenue to be derived by him
even though every farmr in South
Carolina might adopt his method. He
advises in the light Of his expert
ments and in the face of the results
obtained. His article is, it seems to
us, worthy Of consideration. But we
would advise a close cooperation
with Mr.. Briggs in the matter. Con-
ditions Of the crop and the weather
make all the difference in the world.
IN conditions under which Mr.. Co.
ker, in the lower part Of the State,
mas found his method so admirable,
might be altogether different from
Conditions in our (Oconee) county
during the latter part of June and
| in July.
Then, too, we feel sure that the
| Clemson attitude in regard to the
commercial mixtures is to safeguard
the farmer against being buncocd by
scme INSCRIPTIONS ones who would
put over anything, regardless of it's
merit, or lack Of merit, for the sake
OF selling to the cotton-grower, now
IN the panicky state Of grasping at
straw in the hope Of saving HIM
self from being Crowned in the boil
weeyil deluge." We have the highest
confidence in the Clemson experts;
we have every confidence In David r..
Coker. But
We advise close cooperation with
County Agent Geo. r. Briggs in the
matter. He has the backing and the
advantage OF frst-hand Information
from experts at Clemson, and can
be depended upon to give the best
advice, considering our local soil and
| crop conditions, as we'll as having
the advantage Of being con the spot"
| to observe weather conditions and to
advise accordingly
Whatever you do, we believe 1t Is
sound advice to urge that com exc'"'
| preparations be avoided. II you use
| the busting method, get tho straight
| calcium arscnate and use it.; don't
buy some unknown quantity" put
up under some attractive and mean
| inglcss name. If you decide to use
the liquid form, get your materials,
as Mr.. Coker suggests, and do the
combining yourself. You may be per-
