OFFEjjjOR OFFICE
Editor Enterprise:
The time has arrived that I have
got to let my friends know the con
dition I am in concerning my affiairs
politically. It seems to me that I am
compelled to not be in the race this
time from a business standpoint. An
other man and myself have been figur
ing on buying out the store where 1
am employed and if we had I was go
ing to stay in the race sure, but as
it looks to me that we are not goint
to get the deal thru time enough be
fore they will have to be something
done, as I don’t want to resign my
job as it might hurt my employer, he
is paying me for my time and I am
due to work for him and I can’t get
out and canvass the county as I
should and as I would, but I can’t hard
ly stand to write this letter as my loy
al friends stood by me so good before
without one red cent. Men, I made
my race clean, as I have not heard it
contradicted by my opponents and I
mean to continue to do so in all my
transactions. As I see it now I would
like to make this race as it looks good
to me as it stands.
Now I have no mud to sling, but
how are we going to harmonize the
two years ago saying: that Dr. Meeks
was the best man in the county, and
now Dr. Ricketson is the best man.
I am not saying either one is a bad
man. You had better look out, there
is quite a number of Doctors in the
county and time you get down to the
last one they would be getting mighty
good.
Don’t you get it in your nogin that
I am afraid to run, I just can’t afford
to be employed by a man and walk
out and leave him. I have been hav
ing an eye to the other deal all this
year. If any of my friends want all
the particulars come to see me and if
any of my friends want to run you
can begin to study up, because it is
very likely I cannot make the lace;
but this is not final. So I beg your
pardon. Yours, B. L. DAVIS.

BOUfEEHUML
»lETHoe(i>_
fflr- approved by
State Government Expert/*
“Do it right or not at all,” is the
advice of government experts to cot
ton farmers planning to use boll wee
vil control measures. In order to “do
it right” it is necessary to make a
study of the habits of the boll weevil
and how it accomplishes the destruo'
'ttou of cotton.
801 l weevils go into winter quar
ters in timber, weeds, buildings and
any other shelter they can find near
the fields and emerge in the Spring
to attack the cotton. The best pro
tection is timber. They remain quiet
and take no food during the winter.
Cold weather killed many weevils
the past winter and the number to
emerge this spring were reduced, ex
perts say. but not enough to warrant
laxity in control measures,. Farmers
who are not considering the use of
control measures because of the small
number to emerge are taking a gamb-*
ler’s chance, they declare, for unless
the weather continues to be unfavor
able to the pest they will multiply
very rapidly and soon will have de
stroyed another crop.
The weevils become active when
warm weather arrives. The first wee.
vlls come from winter quarters about
the end of February but the great ma-
Jority come out in April and May.
As soon as squares appear on the
cotton the female weevil Inspects each
square and generally does not place an
:egg In a square that already has re
ceived one. At the end of the snout
of the weevil there are very small
Jaws. With these she bores a hole in
to the square and enlarges it at the
bottom. The snout is withdrawn, the
weevil turns around and extends the
egg duct from the rear of the body
Into the cavity where the egg is
placed.
Females keep on laying front one to
three eggs a day for about a month
and average a total of 100 before they
die. The eggs hatch within an aver*
age of three days. The grub coming
from the .egg begins to feed at once
and grows rapidly for eight days and
becomes a • wiggler.” This stage lasts
about five days and no food is taken.
The weevil itself then appears.
The total time from the placing
of an eg* In the square to the ap
pearance of the weevil Is about sev
efiteen days. About a week then
elapses before the weevil deposits
eggs Thus It can be seen that even
a small number emerging to attack
a crop very soon will multiply many
times and without control measures
can destroy cotton over a large area.
Further information on boll wee
vil control can be obtained from the
county agent, state college of agri
culture or the National 801 l Weevil
Control Association, New Orleans.

“I have used Black-Draught
when needed for the past 25
years,” says Mrs. Emma
Grimes, of Forbes, Mo. “I
began taking it for a bad cast
of constipation. I would get
constipated and feel just mis
erable —sluggish, tired, a bad
taste in my mouth, . . . and
soon my head would begin
hurting and I would have a
severe sick headache. I don’t
know just who started me to
taking
Thedford’s
BLACK-DRAUGHT
but it did the work. It Just
seemed to eleanse the liver.
Very soon I felt like new.
When I found Black-Draught
so easy to take and easy

headaches.”
Constipation etaitr the
