make up your mind the fight the

or their numbers from Increasing.
Mr. Holder says if a mule steps
on a weevil it does the work in
getting rid of that Insect. He says
to grow cotton under boll weevil
conditions is the most strenuous
work a farmer ever undertook and
it is also a never ending task from
the time the cotton first starts
growing until the lint 1« ready to
harvest. /"
FARMERS FAIL
WHEN QUITTING.
Mr. Holder says that -many
farmers too soon fall in their fight
against the weevil because they
quit work too soon| or KfOW dis
couraged. A farmer will apply
poison one of two times and be
cause he finds, young weevils or
punctured squares in his field, he
thinks it a failure. The impres
sion is that a weevil hatches every
fast and begin work lit once. But
this is not true. He b&» made a
study of the weevil and has learned
all he could about its habits and
ail else. He inclosed a square of
cotton stalks that were free of
weevils in wire netting and then
put in the inclosure several ma
ture weevils. He discovered exact
ly how long it takes a weevil to
hatch. So after a farmer applies
Poison young weevils will con
tinue to appear for some time. So
you must keep up your fight with'
out ceasing. V ' . •
Mr. Holder showed me a patch
»f eight acres in cotton on which
last year he made 2,150 .pounds
of seed cotton per acre, and it was
infested with weevils. He had
picked by hand from this field
s -00 grown weevils and kept the
punctured squares picked up a*
fast as they appeared. He also
kept the cotton sUlks covered

REPORT MADE
MONDAY NIGHT
VANCOUVER, B. C.—After 10
years exposure to the weather a
golf watch recently found by a
member of a mountain climbing
club has been restored to its own
er, who declares it to be keeping
perfect time.
F. W. Johnson, of this city,
found the watch. It was on a jut
ting rock, at a height of 7,500
feet. From an inscription on the
back he located the owner, the
Rev. Benjamin F. Bacon, of Yale
University, who identified it as his
property. The watch was given
him by an Oswego; N. Y. church
congregation in 1892. He lost it
10 years ago while on a trip into
the mountains near Glazier, B. C.

the campaign profitable to all who
enter and to the entire community.
Every big billboard In the city

telling of the campaign, urging the
people to use their money for

it stored in secret places. It is
believed that the campaign will
result in putting in circulation
many thousands of dollars of idle
money which will be spent in ev

will help every line of business in
