TWELVE MONTHS REMEDY FOR FIGHT
ING THE BOLL WEEVIL.—NAIL THIS UP.
An actual plan for fighting the weevil every
month in the year. With everybody fighting ev
ery month in the year more profit can be made
growing cotton than before.
Let us begin in October for another crop.
OCTOBER:—
Make winter quarters. Haul wheat
straw, leaves or trash, placing it in
piles about the size of hamper baskets
on terraces and different places in the
field, furnishing them winter quarters
so they will not have to bore into the
ground to live through the winter.
NOVEMBER:—
Get every boll that has not matured,
and burn them. This is positive de
struction to a large per cent of them,
as you find ffiom one to ten in those
unmatured bolls. Plow if weather will
permit.
DECEMBER:—
v Cut or frail all stalks. Plow when
weather permits.
JANUARY:—
■'Burn trash piles or winter traps yon
piled up in October and all other hedg
es and vegetation that will burn.
FEBRUARY :
Make money this month lighting the
weevil with a poultry crop. Guineas
are more profitable, they lay more eggs
than hens and destroy more weevils.
Build guinea houses in your cotton
field aud place guineas there and train
them to stay in field and raise large
numbers. They not only eat the weevil
but the noise tends to drive them away.
It is history that where guineas range
in a cotton field the weevil does less
damage. Let this money guinea crop
bring you a large money cotton crop.
,MARCH:—
- plow fields aud plan for early plan -
ing. Also look after guineas.
april : t .
Plant nine rows out of every ten n>
of April of some big boll variety as big
bolls usually have thick, tough burrs
and the weevils cannot puncture them.
And don’t forget the guinea crop.
MAY:— ..
Plant that tenth row last of April.
This row must be a month or six weeks
later than the other crop of cotton.
Look after the young guineas.
JUNE:—
As cotton puts on squares apply a
small amount of poison for the few
weevils that have escaped the fire. One
drop will do more good this season
than a gallon later. The weevil that
has lived through the winter only lives
twenty-one days after he punctures the
first square. The eggs hatch out in
the same length of time. By picking
up and burning up all squares at this
period you will destroy all the young
weevils. Plow often with sack drag
ging over rows.
JULY:—
Continue picking up squares, plow
ing often with sack attached to gear to
disturb and knock them off.
AUGUST:—
.ft this season they travel like birds
‘from field to field, and are as harmful
Jn one field as another, regardless of
folks who have picked up squares.
Keep them moving: serenade them
twice each week with bells, tin pahs or
other tilings that will create loud noise.
Take a small pole or cane long enough
to reach across four rows, fasten sacks
on this so that one party can drag four
rows at one time. Go over the field
with this drag outfit and let someone
f< How behind with the noise. They
can be driven with noise and run com
pletely out of field. It is just as fair
for you to drive them out of your field
into your neighbor’s who has remained
idle in June allowing them to accumu
late in his field and come to yours. So
this is the month for everybody to
get busy. The more you disturb and
keep them going the less cotton they
will punctum This hhs been thor
oughly demonstrated and proven and
oft on noticed a’ronnd school house F

where children play. Plow cotton and
keep it growing and putting on new
squares.
SEPTEMBER:—
At this season of the year the early
planted cotton is ripe and maturing.
The row you planted late will be in
growing condition. This w T ill furnish
squares and keep them form punctur
ing other bolls. Spray this tenth row
as the weevil will be on it, and spraying
this row will not be as expensive as
spraying the whole crop.
These remedies have all been tried
out and proven effective. The trouble
had been ; one applying one thing and
another applying another thing, hence
nobody got desired results.
The October winter quarters which
answers as traps and February guineas
in cotton field, June picking up the
squares and with August serenading
are the most effective things to be done.
If every farmer will adopt this pro
gram the boll weevil will be reduced to
a minimum. They will never be en
tirely extinguished but\ gfibd cotton
crops can be made.
With the present indication for a
better price for cotton in the future
.and this section growing more cotton
to the size of the stalk than any sec
tion, it is in our favor to light, as it
will amount to more here than where
the cotton grows large.
As the weevil is all over the cotton
belt it means a fight every where if
any cotton is grown. This will guar
antee a good price and this section is
in the lead on cotton if all will co-op
erate on some program of defense and
not surrender to the weevil, allowing
him to rule. Unless something is done
it will be worse next year than this. •

SOUR STOMACH
INDIGESTION
Thedford’* Black-Draught Higblj
Recommended by a Tennessee
Grocer for Troubles Re
sulting from Torpid
Liver.
East Nashville, Tenn.— The effic
iency of Thedford’s B'ack-Draugbt, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, 1b
vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a
grocer of this city. “It Is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and I
don’t believe I could get along without
It. I take it for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver, Indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of
e torpid liver.
“I have known and used It for years,
end can and do highly recommend it
to every one. I won’t go to bed with
out It in the house. It will do all it
claime to do. I can't say enough for
It." *
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black-
Draught just as Mr Parsons describe*
—valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford’s Black-Draught liver medl
dse is the original and only genuine.

Agricultural and Industrial Show
for Both the Town and
Country Folk.
AN EXCHANGE FOR NEW IDEAS
Besides, It Appeals to All of Us Who
Want to Be Amused While We're
Learning—Closer Touch With
Home Lives of Neighbors.
The fair is an educational clearing
house. It is an agricultural aud In
dustrial institute for residents of both
town and country. It is a short course
in better farming and better living. It
Is a physical demonstration of why the
man who farms with his head Instead
of with his hands must inevitably suc
ceed.
It Is a comprehensive exhibition of
what the ambitious boy or girl may
achieves in agriculture, live-stock rais
ing, dairying, horticultural, home, gar
dening, domestic science or household
economy. It is an ■exposition of the
marvelous improvement in farm ma
chinery and agricultural implements.
It is an object lesson in the great
part which improved machinery plays
in the development and cultivation of
the farm and the increased prosperity
of the fanner.
Look for Yourself.
The chief educational value of our
fair lies in the fact that it is demon
strative in character. The eye is a
more convincing instructor than the
ear. We are slow to accept and be
lieve in any new method until we have
had optical proof of Us superiority
over the old.
Often it is difficult to secure the at
tention of the busy man or woman long
enough to give such a demonstration.
Not infrequently it happens that farm
ers who would be most benefited by
better methods of farming are not suf
ficiently interested to be present at
any special meeting called for the pur
pose of discussing the subject.
But the fair appeals to that trait of
mankind which demands entertainment
and amusement and becomes a com
mon forum for the discussion of all
matters having to do with agriculture,
industry, the home and the school.
In this clearing house of education
the farmer learns what the manufac
turer, the merchant and the banker are
and have been doing to make his la
bor less arduous and his farm more
profitable and the town resident learns
what rapid progress is being made in
agriculture. A bond of common Inter
est is created which means much to
both town and country.
Value to Everybody.
The farmer learns by actual obser
vation of the newest devices and im
provements in agricultural imple
ments. He learns their use and bene
fits. He learns in what way they
assist in soil cultivation, in plant
growth, in sowing, in harvesting, in
threshing. He learns the economic
value of the more modern machinery,
of the silo, of motor power on the
farm.
The urban dweller is furnished a
vivid picture of the agricultural re
sources of the community. He learns
about the fertility of the soil in the
vicinity; of what is being done to in
crease the farm yield; to improve the
quality of the stock, and to multiply
the total dairy product.
Every man and woman, whether
town or country resident, is brought
into closer touch with the home life
of others. All imbibe that broader
education which means co-operation—
that ideal education which is service
to self aud all humanity.
