The crisis in an industry,
like diggin’ coal, ye know— gives
rise to apprehensions of the
winter with its snow, —and the
crisis in the meat-supply, or
grain that makes our bread,
keeps the average consumer in
a constant state of dread. . . .
And—it sends the prices sky
ward, every time the crisis
frowns, —when the life preserv
er’s out of reach, of course the
sailor drowns. . . . While the
wreckin’ crew is patchin’ up
more economic laws, the panic
devil tears us with his unre
lentin’ cla "s. . . .1 have
watched tlie operation through
so many gloomy days, that I
harbor my suspicions of the
feller that it pays.
There’s a reason, at the bot
tom of each economic mess, —and
when a trouble’s chronic, it is
hard to cure I guess. . . . Ain’t
it time for changin’ doctors —
when the treatment seems to
fail ? Can small-pox treat itself
without the drugs a-growin’
stale? We’ll never find the
remedy in self-inflicted laws,
while the pestilence is spreadin’
under treatment by its canse!

With the advent of cool weather in
the fall, usually in October and No
vember, boll weevils begin to seek
protection against the winter. The
fnajoritv of the -weevils leave the
fields and fly to the nearest shelter
(vhich may be adjoining timber, grassy
urnrows or buildings. The direction
►f their flight is governed partially
by the prevailing winds. The move
pent takes piace when an average
temperature of 60 degrees is reached.
The movement into winter quarters
|s not sudden and many weevils may
be found in fields after a majority
tave left. In some cases it has been
tbserved that more than a thousand
weevils have been found in fields asf
late as December 18.
The most favorable places for win
tering are those in which there are the
dost even temperatures and where
gt the same time the conditions are
tomparatively dry. Spanish moss
probably is the most favorable shel
ter weevils obtain, but many survive
Ihe winter outside of the region in
Which Spanish moss occurs, in grass,
►tumps, cracks in the ground and
fimilar places. Very few are ever
ound in cotton seed.
During the winter the weevils fake
po food and ordinarily do not move
from the place they have hidden Cut
tometimes during very warm spells
► few in the exposed places may be
seen crawling or flying about.
The weevil passes the winter in
the adult stage,. When frosts occur
Immature stages still may be found
in the squares or the bolls. If the
food supply is sufficient many of
these immature stages continue their
development at a very slow’ rate and
finally emerge as adult weevils. Thus,
there may be a somewhat continuous
production of adults during the win
ter. Ordinarily, however, this is not
the case, since the frosts that de
stroy the cotton generally kill the
grubs.
The number of weevils living
through the winter varies greatly
from year to year as shown by obser
vations made at many localities for a
number of years. In one year only
one weevil out of a hundred survived,
but, in another case, twenty out of
each hundred lived through. The lat
ter figure is undoubtedly exceptional
and it appears that under average
conditions throughout the greater
part of the cotton belt not more than
five weevils out of a hundred lived
over to attack the crop the following
year. The largest number lives
through where there is heavy timber
Enough survive any w'inter to cause
heavy damage if the spring and sum
mer favors.
BROOMS.—A broom will last long
er if dipped into scalding suds once a
w T eek. This toughens the bristles.
SPOONS. —Mix mustard with milk
instead of water and the spoon will
not get black.
HAM. —To make ham juicy and
tender when boiled, leave it in the
water in which it has been boded until
it is cold.
PAINTED WALLS.—To remove
marks on painted walls caused by
striking matches on them, rub with
the cut surface of a lemon —then clean
with a cloth dipped in whiting. "Wash
the surface with warm water and soap
and then wipe quickly with a clean
cloth wrung out of clear water.

vou Need not fail
Great fortunes are sometimes
made in small towns and in strange
ways. In Good Ground, L. 1., an
old fashioned hamlet with a couple
of streets and half a dozen stores
where motoring tourists stop for
gas, or crackers and cheese, and
then speed on to more pretentious
villages, lives Walter King, known
all over the world as an unusual
designer of women’s hata. Ndt so
many years ago when other boys
went clam-digging or fishing King
would hurry home ft-om his father's
small general store and design hats
from the wires takert from bales of
hay, covering the frames with calico
snipped from bright colored bolts,
or with tea matting “swiped”
from tea boxes.
“Do it right or not at aT.” say
boll weevil control authorities.
“We drove the automohPes cr it o'
the Della.” said the bol] weevl’s. “and
we can drive the farmers off the farms
if they don’t stop us soon.”
Save your money by saving your
cotton from the boll weevil.
Weevil control will help former*
who help themselves by using the
methods approved by THEIR » x erts
Tests and experiments by experts
prove that it pays to apiny cu tura
methods of boll weevil control under
all conditions and calcium arsenate
in dust from where the soil will yield
as much as one third of a bale to th*
acre.
Farmers should help their cotton
crops to early fruiting and inaurity
before the boll weevils have had a
chance to destroy them by planting
■elected seed and applying Intensive
cultivation.
Applications of calcium arsenate In
dust form should be made cm cotton
when 10 per cent of the squares have
been punctured by boll weevils. From
five to seven pounds of poison should
be used to the acre and the applica.
tion should be repeated two or three
times at four and five day intervals.
Others have proved that boll weevil
control pays. Prove It yourself by
using government methods and check
the result on a small tract where con
trol measures are not used.
801 l weevils go into winter quarters
before frost occurs. Reduce the num
ber by burning trash and burying the
stalks as soon as the crop Is gathered.
Apply calcium arsenate in dust form
to boll weevil infested cotton when the
air and the plants are moist, perfer
ably at night.
Ask your county agent or write the
state college of agriculture or the Na

Chewing Gum Aids Digestiop
