COTTON POISONING

SAN BENITO. May 24-tF- I'm
view Of the current rains II has be-
come more necessary than ever for
the farmer to poison his cotton,
said II. 2. Boyd. manager Of the
Valley Gin company, Saturday ms "a
new hard rain descended on this
section.
Recent rains have been beneficial
TO the cotton crop throughout the
Valley with the exception Of heavy
rains falling Saturday which, if
the continue, will be "a detriment,"
he said.
The rains are expected to make
conditions favorable for increase Of
insect pests and plant diseases and
for this reason poisoning Is being
advocated for the crop.
Mixture Given
Officials Of the gin company have
made recommendations in answer
10 inquiries that q mixture consist
ing or so per cent calcium arsenate
and 90 per cent sulphur with five
pounds Of Paris Green added for
every 10 0pounds be used for busting
cotton.
There has been some complaint
about boil and leaf worms and boil
weevils. The calcium arsenate In the
mixture will kill the boil weevilS the
sulphur will destroy the cotton hop
pers commonly called fleas. and the
Paris Green will take care OF the
worms.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-05-25

1T has been proved scientifically
that systematic poisoning makes
more bales per acre" said Mr.. Boyd,
"and with recent showers II should
be a paying investment 70 the far
mer."
Farmers should be careful about
cattle getting into fields which have
been poisoned, Mr.. Boyd warned.
The gin company official would
not say what the final effect or the
rains would be because full reports
OF their extent was not available.
Neithe rhad the rain ceased late
Saturday afternoon In Cameron

might run to many closely written
pages of technical data-weight in pro-
portion to strength, ability to stand
shock, twisting, pulling and crushing
and qualities of hardness following heat
treatment which tell the metallurgist
the story he is seeking.
Strength in axles, springs and shafts
in former days meant weight. If a part
broke, it was replaced by a larger part.
The result was a car twice or three times
as heavy and cumbersome as the present
day model 1t was not until the metal
lurgiSt came forward with the results
of his laboratory tests in the form of
new steels and steel alloys that we're in
f1nitely lighter, stronger and more dura-
BILE that the light, fast. flexible car of
today came into being.
There is almost an infinite variety of
steels and steel alloys. High and low.
carbon steels, molybdenum and silico
manganese steel. chrome Vanadium and
nickel molybdenum, to name only few
of the better known alloys.
The addition of chromium and
molybdenum have the effect, In varying
degree, of making steel harder, stronger
and finer grained. Vanadium imparts a
particularly high degree of resistance to
shock and to what is known as fatigue.
Nickel is another alloy which impartS
a high degree of surface hardness when
properly heat treated.
Thus, the task of the metallurgiSt Is
to seek out those steels and alloys which
are best suited to the task at hand and
the particular type of service they are
designed to give on the road,
