THE BOYS ARE MARCHING ON
By Mrs. T. M. Whittaker, Douglas
Onward the boys are marching to the
land over the sea,
To face the Kaiser’s soldiers in a figfit
for liberty.
We say goodbye to mothers, wives'
and sweethearts, true,
Remember the soldier boy who in
France is fighting for you.
Yes we leave loved ones for a land
we know nothing of.
To help to win old glory and fight
for freedoms cause.
May God guide us safely over the
the waves of the sea,
To join the other boys who are fight
ingvictoriously.
A hearty handshake and a smile that
is just and true,
They’ll give to us as we fight for the
flag, red, white and blue
When the shells rain thickly and
bombs around us fall.
With strength and nerve we’ll do our
part to keep the Germans off
And when the war is ended glad news
to all we’ll brine - ,
We’ll waive Old Glory over the tru< j
and of victory sing.

BOLL WEEVIL FIGHT
SHOULD BEGIN EARLY
Pick By Hand Weevils Appear
ing In Early Season
Everythin* possible should be done
to promote rapid growth of cotton
plants in early spring, so as to has
ten the formation of flower buds, or
squares, before heavy weevil infesta
tion occurs. The most importan 1
means to this end is frequent and
shallow cultivation to conserve th<»
moisture, and with the present labor
shortage, two-horse riding cultivator-,
should he moi» generally used fo 1
tirs purpose. t’ultivale after even
rain, if possible, since this helps t -
prevent the shedding of early squares
l’ ck the weevils by hand as soon fc
they are found in the field. It is ver
important that nn attempt be mad
to pick all the weevils that have gon
through ttie winter and entered the
cotton fields in the spring. At such
time no are being laid. The wee
v'l only -lays eggs in puncture t
squares, and no squares are yet form
ed. Since there are only a few wee
vils in the field at this thivv they
are hard to find, and it require, pa-s
--taking car - to pick them. They can
be ’ ■■■;■ ♦«:! l.y the appearance of th-*
p|;> -i :i which they are feedine
They iti .te the tender buds in th
top of the plants, and every bud thn
injured by the weevil turns brown
By carefuly searching such plants, on
or more weevils will usually be foun
biding in some inconspicuous place.
Of all times at which weevils maj
be picked, early picking before the eg
laying season begins is the most in
portant. A careful search should b
made for them every week, even i
only u few weevils can be found pe
acre. In a short time, they will begi
laying about eight eggs per day, an
if each egg is placed in a aeparat
square, it takes but liltle figuring t
determine that one weevil can destro.
squares faster than several plants ca
produce them. Prof, hoy E. Ran..
