TO WORK FOR
GREATER CITY
AND COUNTY
Liberal Use of Calcium Arsenate Is
Urged; Poison to be Sold To
Farmers At Cost

President VIM. r. Bowen and his
Board of Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce held their first meeting of
the year Friday night and settled on
plans to assist the farmers in fighting
the boil weevil, fully recognizing the
fact, that the mutual interests Of the
farm and city compels closer coopera-
ton with the town and country.
Farmers are urged to make their
needs known as to the quantity of
calcium arsenate wanted so that thew
may be supplied. The Planters Ware
house Company, The Ben Hill Com
pany and the Cotton Compress Com
pany have agreed to keep a stock of
poison o inland during the season and
to sell it to the farmers at cost in such
quantities as each case may require.
Early application for this poison
should be filed with either one of these
companies, so that they may guage
their purchases to suit the local de-
mand. Orders may be left with the sec
rotary of the Chamber of Commerce.
There is not any doubt as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of using this poison, eth
er IN its dry form or in liquid Nurture
to check the boil weevil damage, as
IN every county in the cotton belt, eth
er or both was used, larger yield
OF cotton was the result. What 9TH
ers have done, our own farmers GER
/ tanly can do. 1t is not any more an
experiment, but fact in farming, that
calcium arsenate is as essential now in
making a cotton crop as is fertilizers.
