BAPTIST ENCANPNENT
NO 7 To- Be PICNIC
Rev. J. E. O'Quinn Says Affair is
To Provide Trained Workers
And Not Merely an Outing

The Baptist encampment, which
begins Monday at Myrtle Springs
is not to be picnic, according
to Rev j. E. O'Quinn, chairman of
camp activities, VINO was visitor
here today. Instead, he says, the
rCr~oac is to provide trained work
crs for the church, the outing fea-
ture being secondary to the main
purpose.
Discussing these features today,
Mr.. O'Quinn said that entertain
ment is provided for every worker
in the association, that comes for
the purpose of completing the
courses Of study. The committe has
strained ever nerve to provide for
such, but entertainment will not
be provided free for those simp-
ly to come for an outing. We are
trying to build our association, and
provide trained workers. Let il
be once for all understood, it is
not a picnic. We want our people
to have some outing in connection
with the training school, but we
could not under any circumstances
undertake to care for those
who come promlscuously.

NEEUL CROP IS ABOVE.
NORMAL, AGENT SAYS
County Agent Tells Advantage
Dusting Calcium Arsenate
During Gentle Rains

The boil weevil crop in Sumter
county is now above normal, ac-
cording to George o. Marshall,
county farm demonstration agent.
The weeyil have multiplied rapid
ly during the rainy spell, he says,
and the grubs in punctured squares
will soon begin Matching out. This
means, according to Mr. Marshall,
that millions of new weeyils may
be expected in cotton fields about
Americus between July ] and July
4. To check this increase in the
number of weevils, he says calcium
arsenate must be used literally.
Il want to correct an impress
sion some farmers have absorbed
that calcium arsenate cannot be
used in rainy weather." said Mr..
Marshall "A gentle rain affords
the moisture necessary before the
weevil can absorb the poison, and
really this sort Of weather is the
most favorable for application of
the poison dust. Of course, hard
rain will wash off any poison that
may be applied, but the gentle
'drizzle' is a help rather than
detriment to poisoning"
1t is important, Mr.. Marshall
says, to destroy the weevils as
soon after they are hatched out
as possible, and this can best be
done by dusting cotton in the
bloom. The young weeyils go to
the tender blooms to secure pollen
as soon as they are able to eat
anything, and If this thoroughly
the bulk of them can be
easily killed. Inclement weather
conditions have already retarded
the poisoning of fields about Amer
icus, he says, and this makes i'm
mediate work in this regard even
more important than unedr ordi-
nary conditions.
Within the past few days, Mr..
Marshall asked the Georgia depart
ment of entomology for additional
instructions and recommendation
regarding approved methods for
weevils, and today receiv-
ed a letter stating:
"This department does not rec
ommend calcium arsenate except
in the dust form. At the begin
ming Of the season calcium was so
high that Mr.. Williams, our general
field agent, recommended that the
molasses and calcium mixtures be
used for the first one or two ap-
plications or until the cotton be-
gins to bloom After that time it
is most impractical, and this de-
partment only recommend calcium
arsenate in the dust FORM"

Action Causes Surprise.
There was no change in the quota
ton for time money sufficient to ac-
count for this upswing in high grade
bonds Nor. as far as could be learn
ed, was there much institutional buy
ing. The fact that private investors
should be eager to accumulate tax
able securities giving such a low re-
turn seems surprising. One explana-
tion was that the bond market had
been temporarily relieved Of the press
ure OF new offerings. 1t was also
pointed out that current quotations
made the new United States Treasury
4%4 notes at par look very cheap.
Washington dispatches stated that
the department expected a large over
subscription OF the new issue. The Sec
retary of the Treasury was also quoted
as saying that the question of an in
crease in rediscOunt rates had not
been discussed by the Federal Re
serve Board for some time.
