The League of Women Voters ill
session in Chicago last week decided
to leave'out of its .study Program the
troublesome issues o f birth control
and prohibition. The proponents of
birth control legislation, because of
the bitterness that might be injected
through its discussion, agreed not to
continue their fight on the floor of
the convention, since they had lost
in committee. Prohibition brought
about a very .spirited discussion.
A special committee which re com
mended that the ISth amendment
and the Volstead act not lie included
iii the study program was sustained.
The league added farm relief to its
study, and reiti rated its support of
governmental development of Muscle
Shoals and the eight-hour day for
working women.

Kill the Potato Bugs
With Calcium Arsenate
Raleigh. May 2.?Calcium arsenate,
familiarly known in North
Carolina as an efficient poison for
the control of the cotton boll weevil,
is also one of the best poisons for
the- common potato bug r Colorado
potato beetle*
"Calcium arsenate is the cheapest
poison that potato growers can use
at the present time for the control
of the Colorado potato beetle," says
C. H. Brunnon, extension entomologist
at State College. "Those who i
grow potatoes know that this insect j
can completely destroy the plants in
a short while if no control measure
i.' used- Calcium arsenate may i?o
used either as a dust or as a spray
and is absolutely effective if properly
applied/*
Im using the material as a dust.
Mr. B rati no n advises that the potato i
v. i ? " OB
jnuii *_ *- vuwini xwii. l ne amount |
to use wis! depend on the size of the
plants and the material may be ap-1
plied satisfactorily if the regular
cotton duster is used. There is little
danger of burning the foliage but!
too much poison should r.ot be used j
for the sake of economy. Recent
tests show that good control is secured
by this method of poisoning.
However, it should be kept in rnind
that the arsenate is not a control for
plant diseases but for insects alone.
If desired, a spray may be made
by using two pounds of the calcium
arsenate to 50 gallons of water.
For the glower with only a small
icreage. a spray may be prepared by
using 10 lablespoonsiul to three gal?>ns
of water.
In any event, the applications ofj
bither dust or spray should be start-j
d as soon as the beetles appear in |
numbers and should be continued!
iust often as the beetles become!
lumo rous.
