CELEBRATES FOR WEED
CONTROL

he l1ISG cIllOIdGc W DC uoSu III
weed control was sodium chlorate.
This chemical because of its abil-
ity to give up oxygen readily, has
sometimes caused danger through
a fire hazard. Material treated
with the chemical will burn very
readily when dry. Weeds sprayed
with this chemical after becoming
dry catch fire readily and shoes
worn in the spraying process and
then becoming dry occasionally
will catch fire due to friction of
the shoe on gravel when walking
across gravelly area. While it is
possible that this danger may be
stressed too much yet there is al
ways possible chance of serious
results unless one takes careful
precautions in the use of it. Those
should be the use of rubber boots
when spraying and these washed
off following the application of the
material. Patches of weeds sprayed
should not be walked thru for some
little time following treatment, say
a week to ten days. Calcium Chlor-
ate or Atlacide was prepared to
overcome this difficulty and many
reports have been made that So
called chlorate is sodium chlorate
with another chemical added to
make it attract water and thus re-
duce the fire hazard. Most of the
weed spray work done in this
ounty has been with calcium chlor-
ate or atlacide. Because it is in a
dust form which also can be used
in buster in making application
the fire hazard is undoubtedly
less with the calcium chlorate or
atlacide than with sodium chlor-
ate.
The above background is given
primarily to statement of price
differential on the two chemicals
this year. Atlacide or calcium
chlorate has been quoted to us at
$1,000 per 200 pound drum fob.
Walla Walla which is the nearest
distributing point. Sodium chlorate
has been quoted to US at nine cents
a lb. in 200 pound drums fob. de-
livery point. Either one of these
materials however, could be Sc
cured from local dealers in smaller
quantities at higher prices, which
of course would be necessary in
giving the local dealers a margin
for handling the material.
1t is probable that the use Of
two pounds of Sodium Chlorate
would be equivalent to the appli-
of three pounds of calcium chlor-
ate or atlacide, at least from all
information that we have been
able to get. This would affect an
additional saving.
The time for treatment of weeds
is rapidly approaching and we feel
that growers have problems Of con-
troll Of perennial weeds should be
making arrangements for their or
dering. Neighbors could just as
well order together so as to take
care Of their needs and in this way
possibly cheaper the cost. The
question of which one of the chlor-
ates should be used will depend on
the price differential and the ques-
ton as to whether we want to take
extra precaution when using So
dunn chlorate. It would seem that
with the wide difference this year
that unless it is necessary to work
through the area treated that one
could afford to use the sodium
chlorate rather than the other this
year.
We would be glad to take this
matter up with any growers in,
terested in this problem and would
welcome correspondence or office
calls on this subject.

LINCOLN SANITY
PAPER ST|RS
DOCTORS
Or. Brill Denies He Will Tell
Toronto Session President Of
War Period Had Bad Mind

TORONTO, June 4.-Such an
academic tempest has been raised
subsequent to publication of the
purport of a paper on the men
tality of Abraham Lincoln by
DR.. A. A. Brill, of New York
city, that a petition is being
circulated at the convention here
Of the American Psychiatric Asso
citation to cancel his reading OF
the paper tomorrow.
DR.. Brill refuses to discuss the
matter, but thinks that DR.. E
z. Hicks. of Brooklyn. N. Y. who
criticized his views. might have
complained to him personally
rather than through the press.
Far From Insane
He asserts that he has made nc
charge of insanity against Lin
coin, but has analyzed his men
tality, particularly with reference
to his humorous sayings. Lin
coin. he holds, had schizoid
syntonic personality. Washington
was a Sschizoid, one who philoso
phied and pondered, whereas
Roosevelt was syntonic, a hail
fellow-well-met type. Lincoln com
bined the two, having enthusiasm
to put his ideas into operation
DR.. Brill declares that Lincoln
was as far removed from insanity
as Toronto is from the Himalayas
Alcoholic insanity in the United
States dropped from 8 to per
cent in the year or two that fol.
lowed the passing of the Volstead
act and the adoption of the
Eighteenth Amendment, but It
has since risen to Z per cent, DR..
James V. May. superintendent of
the Boston State Hospital and
chairman for 10 years of the COM
mittee en- statistics of the Ameri-
can Psychiatric Association, said
today in an interview
Alcoholic Mental States
Although alcoholic insanity is
almost back to it's pre-prohibition
level, the whole picture has
changed, said DR.. May. Previous
to the Volstead act alcoholic in
sanity manifested itself in de-
hrium tremens, hallucinations and
various clear-cut forms of mental
diseases"

Is 1t Rich Picking or Starvation?

Is it rich picking or starvation for county office
holders? This is the indictment returned by Sen. George
Puri: 1T has cost the state of Texas over $500 apiece,
in fees of local officers alone, to send each convict to
prison during the past five years"
This is the Purl statement of facts, 1.-THE state spent
$6,357,33 in five years in fees and sent IL 1897 persons to
prison."
This is the Purl comment, "The Sc, 1000, 900 did not
include the salary of judges, the pay of jurors, feeding or
transfer of prisoners or the construction and upkeep Of
jails and courthouses. 1t represented fees paid out to
county and district officers in connection with felony
cases."
Then read this news dispatch from Fort Worth:
Administration of the criminal law in Texas faces
a breakdown if the sheriffs are not allowed mileage for
going after fugitives, as has been the practice for rs
years, officers attending a called meeting of the Texas
Sheriffs association declared"
Away back in s%pringtime Asst. Atty. Gen. Bruce w.
Bryant made a ruling that sheriffs could not collect mile
age on transporting persons either charged with or in
dicted for criminal offenses."
According to the state senator the pickings have
been rich. According to the sheriffs administration of the
criminal law in Texas faces a breakdown. You pays
your money and you takes your choice"
