THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 1921. 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 Buy Your Coal Now r,U RED STAR COAL SIO.OO TON EGG COAL SB.OO TON MILLSAPS & ELEY PHONE 348 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. • WHY NOT ALL GET TOGETHER? Taniac, the celebrated medicine, is now sold by <;. \V. DeLaPerriere & Sons. 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. Accept no imitations or substitutes, l Always ask for Thftdford'a. g, g§ VALUE 6F FAIR TO OUB PFOPIF 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.
