No Department of Agriculture Kxperi- ment Station here hope to see, as a result of their researches, the enact ment of uniform state laws to com pel the dusting of all cotton with calcium arsenate from airplanes, or by auxiliary machinery where planes cannot be utilized. The dusting, it is claimed, would result in the maxi mum control of the boll weevil, which has caused the loss of un told millions of dollars to the cotton growers of the south. The boll weevil has been controlled on dusted acreage, it is stated, bul untreated acreage has permitted the reproduction of the pest und a con tinuation of devastation. The weevil depends primarily upon the cotton nlant for food, and the poisoning of its entire food supply, according to experts, would permit maximum con trol. This can be done only through the compulsory treatment of all cot ton, anil legislative acts are regarded as necessary for a successful cam paign. The entomologists are' using air planes here in their experiments, after having tried many machines for distributing dry calcium arsen ate and the poison in solution.

The poison is supplied to the tube through a slide valve ill a hopper located in the cockpit of the plane. From five to six pounds of calcium arsenate aro used on each acre at an average cost of $1.00, and it is believed the airplane will save at least "one pound to the acre, repre senting an enormous reduction in the aggregate during a season, the entomologists, can be obtained through six applications, during the season. history since Mio duya of ancient Urcecu than underlies the Cilizena Camps of 1'J't'A.

SULPHUR IS BEST ' TO CLEAR UP UGLY, BROKEN OUT SKIN Any breaking out or skin irritation on lace, neck or hoily is overcome quickest by applying Mcntho-Stilphur, says a tinted skin specialist. Because i( its licrni destroying properties, noth. ins has ever been found to take the place of this sulphur preparation that instantly brings ease from the itching, burning and irritation. Mentho-Siilphur heals eczema right up, leaving the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment or disfigurement.

TRY AN OBSERVER WANT AD Avoid Motor Oils containing paraffin, asphalt or any other non-lubricating substance. Aristo Oil is refined by the most advanced processes designed to remove everything in the crude which has no lubricating value. 1 or IB Fluffy or -which kind of, "carbon" comes from the oil you use? SOME carbonaceous residue is deposited by all motor . oils. . That is a known fact. But there are two kinds of this so-called "carbon." One is hard and flint-like as in diamonds. It attaches to cylinder walls, piston and valve heads, and it stays. Chisels or acetylene torches are required to remove it. :-''v . 4 An Abrasive . . - Being hard and gritty hard enough toscore cylinders , it acts as an abrasive, wearing cylinders, pistons, and rings. It prevents valves from seating properly. Compression is thus lost. Small particles become incandescent, causing pre-igni-tion, which results in "knocking" and lost power. i Spark plugs, becoming coated with it, are short-circuited, and miss. A Different Kind Most of the small residue from Aristo Motor Oil blows 1 out with the exhaust. What's left is soft and fluffy. Be ing softer than the metals, it can't cause wear. Your car runs thousands of miles farther without grind ing valves. Spark plugs practically never "foul." As a pure lubricant this oil is unsurpassed. Neither paraffin nor asphalt is contained in it. It forms a tough, thin film penetrating to and protect ing every part in any weather and in any motor heat. It passes every known test of perfect lubrication under all conditions that exist in motors. It's the best that a great company like the Union Oil Company of California can make. If you want such lubrication, with entire elimination of all "carbon"'damage. seethatyou always get Aristo Motor Oil, for sale at all first-class garages and service stations.
