fCXTCNSION WORK J
Several farmers in Franklin
County has advised tihat the
calcium arsenate purchased (or
the purpose of mopping cotton
which they did not use and in
qnired regarding the advlsabj^ity
of using obis material on tobacco
for the control of tobacco insects.
Calcium arsenate would kill in- ]
sects, however, the material has
greater burning powers than
arsenate of lead and will serious
ly injure the tobacco plant when
used. Care should be taken not
to use calcium arsenate as a sub
stitute for arsenate of lead in ]
controlling Insects.
Cotton squares have formed
and are of sufficient size in most
fields to be punctured by boll
weevils. Mopping of cotton is not
recommended after squares have
reached tihis stage as boll weevils
eat in the squares instead of on
the bud and mopping material
will not cover the surface inside
the square sufficiently to cause
boll weevils to eat the poison.
After squares have formed the |
next stiep in boll weevil control
is the picking up and the burning
of squares until square count in
dicates that 10% of squares are
infested with boll weevil eggs. At
this stage, dusting is the recom
mended step.

SMILES
"A smile costs nothing, but it 1
gives much. ... It eurlches 1
those who receiv?lt without mak
ing poorer those who give It. . .
It takes but- a moment, but the .
memory of it sometimes lasts for- ,
ever. . . No one is so rich or
mighty that he can get along
wlbhout It, and no one is so poor
but what he can be made richer
by It. . . .A smile creates hap- ?
pines* iu the home, fosters good
will in business, and is the cous- ]
terslgn of friendship. . . . It 1
brings rest to the weary, cheer to
the discouraged, sunshine to tihe
sad, and it is nature's best anti
dote for trouble. . . . Yet it can- (
not be bought, borrowed, begged (
or stolen, for It is something tibat (
Is of no value to anyone until it is ,
given away. . . . Some people ,
are too tired to give you a smile. 1
Give them one of yours, and no i
one needs a smile so much as be 1
who has no smile to give."
Industrial conditions affecting '
the domestic consumer demand
for farm products are expected to
continue the improvement in evi- !
dence since April if active war
fare in Europe continues.
