most economical, as we'll as most ef-
fective Estimates place the expense
of the work at approximately SIS an
acre for the season. At ruling prices
of cotton the gain from busting was
more than SIS an acre.
The trail of dust sometimes spreads
the poison over a strip from $50 to
| 800 feet in width. The average width
of the normal swath is 200 feet. On
this basis the machine uses less than
| four pounds of calcium arsenate tc
acre, which represents a considerable
saving in poison as compared with the
amount required by the ordinary
ground machine.
Accepted practice involves starting
the dust delivery at the margin of a
field
Interesting demonstrations of the
effectiveness of airplane busting is af-
forded by three adjoining fields shown
in another picture.
Plantation A was busted by the air
plane method for the control of the
boil weevil and the cotton leafworm
Plantation B was partly busted by
rather ineffective ground machines for
the control of the leafworm. Planta-
| ton c was left untouched.
Fields Compared.
On the untreated field practically
every cotton plant was stripped of its
leaves by the 1eafworm with the ex-
ception of the small areas along the
roadside, which nearly always are
skipped by attacks of this worm. On
plantation B the destruction of foliage
was less complete, but was so scatter
ed as to show that the poison was not
thoroughly distributed. On plantation
A the foliage remained practically I'M
touched.
This demonstration shows that the
control of distribution is we'll in hand
In the strips marked XXX the swaths
did not overlap, and in the narrow
stretches thus neglected the worms
did their work of destruction. Com.
plete dusting in the neighborhood Of
surface, distractions is illustrated by
the thorough control in the vicinity
of the cabin and trees in the fore
ground of plantation A.
While the boil weevil is the principal
object of attack the scientists declare
that the application OF the calcium ar
senate controls such miscellaneous
cotton pests as grasshoppers, worms
and caterpillars.
Malaria mosquitoes are included al
so in the list of probable victims Of
the crusade of the air Tests conduct
ed in the sprinkling Of poison by air
plane over swamp breeding places in
dictate that the airplane seems to at
ford the solution of the problem o.

Riding Down Boil Weevi By ~Airplane

The experiments carried on by the
government covered approximately
five square miles. On one plantation
ings and trees On another the land
scape was much broken up by woods,
barns and cabins Both plantations
were infested heavily with the boil
weevil and the cotton leafworm. APP
| plcations of the poison dust were
made whenever the condition of the
cotton seemed to indicate the neces-
sity for the treatment.
Soft Soil No Bar.
One of the great advantages of the
airplane for distributing poison was
found to lie in the circumstance that
the plane can be used when the ground
| is in a condition preventing the use of
surface machines.
This was demonstrated aptly by an
incident which occurred on one of the
experimental plantations. A heavy in
festation of leafworm caused an ap-
plication of an emergency coating of
dust This work hardly had been COM
tpleted when a violent rainstorm Wis
| tied the field, washing the dust from
the foliage and multiplying the benefits
that would have resulted from the
thorough application.
Redusting was an immediate need.
The leafworm eats with amazing rap
idity 1t cannot be trusted alone with
an unprotected and defenseless cotton
plant for a single day.
In the face of this emergency the
machines which travel on the surface
we're altogether useless. The rain
which had washed the poison from
the plants had soaked the ground so
heavily that the movement of ground
machines was out of the question.
The soft and spongy soil would have
blocked the effort
Quick Action Valued.
In this situation the airplane was
the sole recourse. Application OF a
second coat of poison was achieved
through the use of planes as soon as
the landing field was sufficiently dry
to permit the making of start. With
in 40 minutes thereafter the plane
covered a field of III acres.
The prompt action thus made pos
sible met the situation and saved the
crop. Firm belief is expressed that the
immediate redusting prevented heavy
damage that would have come II the
owner of the field had been compelled
to wait until the ground had become
sufficiently dry for the use Of machines
operated along the surface.
Quantity Used Per Acre.
Airplane busting is believed to be

ADVENT OF THAW
SHAKES UP TOWN
FAMILIES OF ARISTOCRATIC
WINCHESTER DIVIDED AND
FRIENDSHIPS BROKEN.

Harry K. Thaw, slayer of Stanford
White. the New York architect, is dis
rupting an entire town in Virginia
where he has gone to live. Released
from an insane. asylum in Philadelphia
some weeks ago Thaw and his moth
er have purchased Kenilworth, coun-
| trv mansion, near Winchester, at the
head OF beautiful Shenandoah Valley
in Virginia, where he proposes to don
overalls and work on the SIS acres that
comprise his domain.
The town and the valley are peopled
by the very best people" of Virginia,
and the coming OF the man who flgur-
ed in the most sensational murder
case in this country in decade has
created division and dissension in
church, social and business circles.
Bank President Calls.
The trouble began when J. B. Rus
sell, president of the Union bank,
made a social call on the ThaWs. L he
Rev R. T. MacFaden, pastor OF the
Presbyterian church, followed suit, and
the next Sunday Thaw and his moth
er appeared at the services.
Thaw put a crisp $50 greenback IN
the collection box, and other members
of the congregation, not to be out
done. doubled the contribution.
The pastor is being severely CRITICS.
ed. and his assistant comes to his de-
tense with these words:
1T isn't always wise to tear up
your flock by bringing in disturb
ing element, but sinners must be
reached by the church.
Thaw has joined the Charles Rouss
volunteer fire department. and the
other fremen's organization say that
the Rouss company took Thaw IN be-
cause of his money. But the chief says
that if Thaw is not good smoke
eater" he will have to get out, money
or no money.
S. P. c. A. Worried.
The Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals is worried and
watchful because it is reported that
Thaw will import a lot of chickens,
dogs. cats and other creatures tor his
country place.
Miss Augusta Conrad made visit
to Kenilworth and saw a cat running
around without a tail. She thought OF
bringing action against Thaw, but
changed her mind when she learned
the cat was a bob-tailed kind.
Thaw's mother may conquer the
town for her son. She is big, broad,
white-haired woman, majestic of mien
and kindly of disposition, who real
ICES her son was spoiled in infancy
ard that he never has been able to
get over it. ooo
Winchester is a quiet town of 1000
nopulation. 1t has one hotel, the
George Washington, where Thaw and
his mother have been eating their
meals until the country mansion IS
made ready for occupancy.
