-THURSDAY, NOVEMBER. 24. 1021. 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 no they will not have to bore into the ground to live through the winter. NOVEMBER:— (Jet every boll that has not matured, and burn them. This is positive de struction to a large per cent of them, as you find fi*>m one to ten In those unmatured bolls. Plow if weather will permit. DECEMBER : Cut or frail all stalks. Plow when weather permits. JAM ARY: — Burn trash piles or winter traps you 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 bens and destroy more weevils. Build guinea houses in y'our cotton field and place guineas there and train them to stay in field ami 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 u large money cotton crop. MARCH:— Plow fields and plan for early plant ing. Also look after guineas. APHII.: Plant nine rows out of every teu first of April of some big Ixdl 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. Jx>ok 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 n 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:— At 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 pans or other things that will create loud noise Take a small pole or cone 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 follow behind with the noise. They can be driven with mdse 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 lias 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 puncturcv This hhs been thor .oughly demonstrated and proven and *ftn noticed avouml school housed 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. fThe row you planted late will he In growing condition. Tills will 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 lie 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 bufl gt**d coU° n crops can be made. With the present indication for a Jitter price for cotton in the future and this section growing more cotton $10,000,000 AID FOR VETERANS Red Cross Provides Friendly Service of Many Kinds to Army of Disabled. BULK OF WORK BY CHAPTERS 2,397 of These Are Helping Ex- Service Men Obtain Bene fits U. S. Provides. One field of Red Cross service alone, that of assisting disabled veterans of the World War, entails expenditures $4,000,000 greater than the aggregate receipts of the Annual Roll Call of 1920, the American Red Cross an nounces in a statement urging a wide spread Increase in membership at the Annual Roll Call, November 11 to 24. At the present time National Head quarters and the nation-wide chuln of Chapters of the Red Cross is spend ing approximately $10,000,000 annual ly for the relief of disabled ex-service men and their families, while the ag gregute receipts from last year's Roil Call were approximately $6,000,000. It Is in the 2,289 of the 8,600 Red Cross Chapters which still are helping solve the veteran’s problem of adjust ing himself to a normal civilian status that the greater part of the cost of this service Is borne. Of tlie total sum apent for veterans’ relief last year, National Headquarters expended a to tal of more than $2,600,000, while the remaining disbursement of approxi mately $7,000,000 represents the con tribution of Chapters in this country wide effort to assist the Government In providing the aid sorely needed by these men and their families. An Evr Expanding Problem That the problem of the disabled service man Is ever-expanding and probably will not reach the peak be fore 192?>, Is the assertion of well-in formed Government officials and that 2,397 Bed Cross Chapters regard It as their most Important work Is evi dence that the expansion Is In nowise confined to a particular section but Is. on the contrary, nation-wide. At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1921, there were 20,300 disabled service men In the 1,092 United Stutes Public Health Service, Contract and Govern ment Hospitals and Soldiers Homes, Hnd that number Is Increasing nt a rHte of 1,000 a month. Thousands of these men receiving medical treatment, compensation and vocational training from the Govern ment today, started their efforts to obtain them through the Red Cross Chapter. The Chapter, acting as the disabled man’s agent In claims against the Government, informs the man ns to the procedure necessary to gain for him that which Is provided him by Federal statute. His applications for compensation, medical treatment and training are properly filed with the aid of the lied Cross Chapter. Many Forma of Assistance If there is delay before the mnn'i claim Is acted upon, the Red Cross Chapter lends the man money to meet the Imperative needs of himself and Ids dependents. Most vital to the man's gaining full benefit from the Government's care is keeping his mind free from worry about his home. Keeping the veteran’s fam ily from hardship of every kind and Informing him of Its welfare Is an other province of the Chapter. Free from fear on this score, the man's re covery and advancement usually Is rapid. Every month during the Inst year, the American Red Cross has given service of one kind or another to an average of 129.215 former service men and their families. An Indication of the extent of the faith reposed in the Red Cross Chapter Is to be found in the fact that there were 356,544 re quests for friendly aid in the solution of personal problems. to the size of the stalk than any sec tion, it is in our favor to fight, as it will umount to more here than where the cotton grows largo. 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. Euless something is done it will be worse next year than this. WHY NOT ALL GET TOGETHER?

Curiously enough, many birds. In stead of fearing traps, develop a fond ness for them, probtfbly because they find them a source of ample feed which can be secured without danger to themselves. While this trait occa sionally Is something of a nuisance to the trapper, It often Is of great as sistance. It Is believed that birds, having learned to recognize traps, will be apt to go to them for feed In the course of their migrations, and so, when caught, will furnish material for ttrnithologlsts’ reporta.
