SETH0D9 OF BOLL WEETIL CO>
TKUL
By kwlun Arnett
(Kor the National Boll Weevil Control
Associtaion)
New Orleans, May 28. ? Confidence
in tlie methods of boll wevil control
asrecommended by the scientists and
experts ot the Lulled States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the State Col
lege of Agriculture is being demon
strated in virtually every section of
the cotton belt where there la an orga
nized movement to combat the pest.
While there Is considerable effort
on the part of some organitaUona and
business concerns to obtain the use
by farmers of poison mixtures which
hare been proven by the scientists to
have little or no value as a means of
boll weevil control the Indications are
that a great majority of the farmers
who are using control methods ard
heeding the teachings of the scientists
just as they heed tne advice of the
doctor when they are ill.
The argument has been presented
that tests of poison have been made
only under conditions in one locality.
This argument is readily refuted by
reports of the experiment stations in
practlcall every state In the cott )u
belt which show that calcium arsenate
used in dust form or in the home-mix
ed molasses mixture lor the pre
square stage and the dust only after
blooming begins, increase the yield
per acre, increases the money valiu)
of the crop and decreases the cost <it
production.
The figures in the reports are
based on tests conducted on plats
where different kinds of polsonB were
used, checked against each other and
against unpoisoued plats under the
same conditions.
It is significant that the findings of
the >arious experiment stations so
nearly coincide, it also Is significant
that for the first time since the boll
weevil invaded the United States the
scientists have agreed on a definite I
plan of controlling the boll weevil and I
have combined in making the same
general recommendations for the en
tire cotton belt.
i* The method of control which is
being employed In the pre-square stage
by a very large number of growers
and which is recommended by the ex
perts is die use of either calcium ar
senate applied with cotton dusting
machinery or shaken on the plants
from a bag; or a mixture of one pound
of calcium arsenate, one gallon of mo
lasses and one gallon of water applied
to the tips of the plants with a home
made mop, using about one gallon to
the acre.
Determination for pre-square poison
Ing is made by a thorough daily in
spection of the plants and when as
many as twenty weevils to the acre
are found, poisoning should begin.
Poisoning in the fruiting stage should
begin when as many as 10 to 15 per
cent of the squares are punctured and
calcium arsenate In dust form only
should be used. The reason for wait
ing until so many of the squares are
punctured is because of the probability
of weather control and no damage is
effected by the pest until the Infesta
tion passes that stage because the
plant would naturally shed that many
squares without infestation.
Therefore, poisoning in the fruit
stage before 10 to 15 per cent of the
squares are punctured is a needless
waste of time and money.
Jl'IKiE CLARK'S DEATH BBIXG3
ABOrr A LEGAL COMPLICATION
Cp to Attorney General Manning To
Deride Method of Selecting Perma
nent Successor to Chief Justice, As
He Most Be Elected at Hands of the
People ? Governor to Appoint Suc
cessor lor Period Until Man In
Elected.
Raleigh, May 21. ? Cameron Morri
son, as governor of Xorth Carolina,
will appoint the successor to the
late Chief Justice Walter Clark, of
the supreme court, this being the
third time Mr. Morrison has been
called upon to fill a vacancy In the
personnel of the high tribunal. On
previous occasions he filled the va
cancies caused by the deaths of Jus
tices Walker and Allen by the ap
pointment of Justices Clarkson and
Adams.
Because of the tact that the entry
list for the primaries have closed, the
election of the man whom Gover
nor Morrison appoints will bring
about a legal situation which the
state board of elections Indicated
would be left to Attorney General
Manning to work out. Under the
law, the governor will appoint a
successor to Chief Justice Clark, but
this successor will have to stand for
election at the next general election,
and will then only serve out the un
expired portion of Mr. Clark's term,
which Is two years from January,
1925.
I-**al Complication* ?
No opportunity will present Itself
before the general election for this
successor to be submitted for ap
proval to the democratic -voters un
less some special arrangement to
made to reopen the democratic party
list or a special democratic primary
Is held to nominate a democrat to
enter the November elections. in
either case the appointee of Mr.
Morrison may not desire to enter
for election to the bench and there
may be a number of candidate* for
the position. The correal method
to be used will be left to the deter
mination of the attorney general.
1 Governor Morrison may appoint
one of the present associate Justices
as chief Justice, in which case he
would hare to resign as associate to
accept the higher post, fa this
event there will be two [xistttons on
the bench to be filled at the elec
tions in November, chief Justice and
associate Justice.
Two other courses also are open.
In the event that the governor de
lays action in filling the post until
[20 days before the general elestloa
the party named would acre* out
the remaining two years of Chief1
Justice Clark's term and would not
come up for re-election until the
general election of MM
It was believed, however that
Governor Morrison would not delay
action as this would leare the court
| with only tour Justices until Octo
I ber. The other method would be'
I tor thoae desiring to enter for the
office to have their names endoraed
| by at least 10 per cent of the voters
qualified to pass on them In the prl
m&riees, declare as nonpartisans and
enter the general election In this
manner. This it was believed, would
disqualify any democrats now hold
ing office as associate Justices, as
they were named to their positions
as democrats.
Speculation was rife here tonight
as to the possible appointee of the
governor, but It was believed that
he would name one ot the present
associate Justices, and then appoint
some one to the bench as an asso
ciate Justice, throwing two positions
on the bench Into the general elec
tions. Associate Justices Hoke and
Stacey were the names most men
tioned here tonight as possibilities
for the higher post. Justice Hoke,
being the senior member ot the
"court, having served 19 years, was
considered as the most eligible ap
pointee.
