These protests are based upon the

OTHER INTEREREST ARE
HELPING COTTON FARMERS

Judge Gary on behalf of the
United States Steel Corporation
has agreed to. contribute $50, 900
a year for three years 10 the cam
paign of the American Cotton AS
ISOLATION against the boil weevil,
this contribution being made as an
expression OF. the realization by the
Steel Corporation that the cotton
crop Of the South is national as
set which must be safeguarded to
the greatest possible extent, Other
New York interests recently con
tributed 100000 to the work OF
the Association, and still larger
amount viii be needed for the ex-
tensive work of that organization.
Though the boil weevil here and
there has been making inroads up
on the growing crop, the fight
against the weevil is being agrees
sively pushed everywhere through
out the entire cotton region, and
the American Cotton Association
has established test farms in many
parts of the South to fight the
weevil on scientific lines and ex-
poets to carry on this work until
the weevil has been finally con-
quered and cotton growing in the
South made safe for the world.
In the meantime, the South is
diversifying its agricultural activi-
ties, and producing crops far more
profitable to the farmers of the
South than is cotton; and thus this
sections prosperity gradually
oroadens with the rapid growth Of
its industrial and construction az
tiyities. Here and there- is heard

the attention Of the General Flee
Ftric Company, VINO offered the fac
ilities of their laboratories at
Schenectady, New York, said to be
the finest in the world. here, with
the assistance Of improved appara-
tus and the counsel of experts, the
process was perfected to a stage
which has been pronounced as
simple, practicable, and economical.
Calcium arsenaCe came into com
mereial use as a boil weevil poison
about five years ago. It's effec-
tiveness lies in the fact that it is
sufficiently soluble in water to be
fatal to the weevil. A poison more
soluble would burn or injure the
cotton plant, while one less soluble
would not affect the weevil which
feeds upon the mucilaginous sap
within the boil.
White arsenic for the new pro-
cess may be secured in Japan, ac-
cording to Mr.. Moore, as his COM
pany has desirable importing fac
ilities there, and Alabama line will
be used. Power is to be sCpplied
