POISONING BOLL WEEVIL PATS
$32.10 ACRE
Profit from cotton depends on the
cheapness with which it is produced.
Proper fertilization and cultivation
_ _ are important factors in the produc
tion of cotton at a low cost, but early
poisoning and standard dust poison
ing to control the boll weevil are also
necessary.
Poisoning to control the boll weevil
' has been tested in South Carolina f6r
.eight years under practically every
•■""condition to which a farm can be sub
jected. In these tests average profits
per acre from early poisoning was
. $12.64 and from standard dust poi
soning $32.10. Early poisoning prior
to standard dust poisoning has con
sistently given about $12.50 profit
per acre over standard dust poison
ing alone.
.Cotton is HE to a good stand in
many fields in Lee county, and it will
not be long until it is time to apply
the early (per Square) poison. There
fore, every cotton grower should se
cure malosses and calcium Arsenate
for the:pre-square poisoning and Cal
cium Arsenate for later applications
, of the standard dust. During leisure
time mbps for early poisoning should
be made by tying strips of burlap bags
on the end of a thin board which is
about two inches wide and two and
one-half feet long. Dusting machines
. should, be purchased so as to have
them ready when eight to ten per
cent of the squares are punctured.
It is important that growers be
come acquainted with the proper pro
cedure to follow in poisoning as im
proper methods do not produce pro
fit. The early poison, which is a mix
ture of one pound of Calcium Arse
nate, one gallon of molasses, and one
gallon of water, should be applied as
soon as a few small squares appear
on the cotton, before they are large
enough to be punctured, ^Jiis mixture
should be applied at the hate of o*e
gallon per acre by means oX a home
made rag mop, taking care to reach
all growing tips of the paint. Later
in the season if eight to ten per dent
of the squares are punctured the stan
dard dust poison should be applied
with a good dusting machine that will
blow the dust over all parts of the
cotton plant. Three applications at
the dust at five day intervals will he'
necessary. Dust should . be applied
when the air is still, preferably early
in the morning or late in the evening.

BIG CELEBRATION THIRD
DEGREE MASONRY '
Two Local Fellowcrafta To Receive
Symbolic Rite. !
On Tuesday, May 27, the Sanford j
Masonic Lodge will confer the sub- i
lime degree oi Ancient Free and Ac
cepted Masonry, in ancient form, up
on two Sanford Fellow crafts. Many
will recall the splendid degree worn
of the Sanford team last fall at which
time visitors were present from va
rious parts of the state and to which]
several Grand Lodges Officers were
r in attendance.
The Sanford Lodge degree team,'
composed principally of members of .
Sanford Masonic Club is reputed
to be one of the best teams la the
State. The degree team will carry dut
all the ancient usages of Masonry ft*,
conferring the degree and the man- ’
bers will be arrayed in costumes such,
as were used by the Craftsmen m
the,building of King Solomon's Tem
ple in Jerusalem. —' . &
The team has already begun
hearsals of this wrok, their fiifst re
hearsals having been held at the last
meeting of the Masonic Club in Meu
of the regular program of that or
ganisation. Interest in the work, is
running hard to the end that this
degree shall surpass in beauty and
craftsmanship the last exemplifies
tion of the sublime degree of Ma
sonry. !
The same team will work out the
degree that appeared last fall, at
which time nearly three hundred ma-!
sons were presnt. The local lodge an- 1
ticip%tes a larger crowd at this meet
ing and suggests to all visiting ma
sons from out of Sanford, who have j
never been examined or vouched for
in the local lodge, to be present rariy'
at this meeting so their examination
can be complete! before the wadang
starts. This will be extremely impor- '
tant to visitors; !
The meeting wil open promptly at,
seven thirty P. M -j

MCIVER BUILDING SOLD
The Express is-informed that the
Melver building on the corner Of
Moore and Carthage Streets, owned
by Mrs. D. E. Melver, has been told
to Mrs. Harriet K. Butler, -wife of
Howard Butler, who is connected with,
the coal mine at Coal Glen. The sale
was consummated within the past few
days and the new owner is now in
possession of the property. !
The Express has not bad an oppor
tunity to talk with the Butlers, but
we are informed that they plan to
remodel the building and make chant’
ges so that it will front op Carthage
Instead of Moore Street. We are in
formed that they have bought the
' property as an investment. They
evidently have faith in the future of
Sanford and see development ahead
that justified them in buying thisi
property. It is believed that they an
ticipate big developments in the coal
industry a few -miles above Sanford
9n the river and feel that Sanford will
be greatly stimulated by it. Accord-,,
ing to reports other outsiders are be- ]

WILRIK HOTEL CHANGES
HANDS .
The Express has information from
a reliable source that it has changed
hands within the past few days. Bar
row-Chapman Hotel Corporation, of
Norfolk, Va., which operates hotels in
a number of towns, has closed a deal
by buying an option which was heH
by Mr. J. C. Williams, who operated
tfhotei for the past few months. It
Aid^that they now have a, 10-year
ie on the property and will take
charge of the hotel the first of June.
This concern is said to be financial
ly strong. No doubt they plan to push
JKftel business in Sanford an.I dc
Everything possible to pull the tourist
travel over Federal Highway No. 1.
A link of this road is being hard sur
faced in South Carolina and when two
or three short links are hard surfacec
in this State, there will be a hard
surfaced road all the wav from the
Canadian line to Miami, Fla. This is
the shortest route South and shouk
