WARNING TO PREPARE FOR
BOLL WEEVIL FIGHT ISSUED
That the farmers of Georgia ,are
making little preparation for fighting
the boll weevil this year, and that
indications pointed to a large infesta
tion from this pest was the statement
of F. C. Ward, cotton specialist ot
the State College of Agriculture, in
a discussion of the boll weevil situa
ton last week.
“It is true that we had only a few
weevils last year,” stated Mr. Ward,
“and that many farmers made satis
factory crops of cotton without hav
ing made any fight on the pest. The
reasons for this condition were that
we had very few boll weevils to go
into winter quarters in the fall of
1923; that in January of last ye -r
all parts of the state had weather
cold enough to kill most of the wee
vils, and that last summer was an un
usually dry one.
“Conditions this year ar e different.
We had more wevils going into hi
bernation last fall than in the fall of
1r23 in nearly every section of the
state and no part of the state has
had weather cold enough to kill boll
weevils during the past winter. This
means that we will have a great
many more weevils coming out of
hibernation than came out last sum
mer. Of course, it is impossible to
foretell whether We will have anoth
er dry summer, but it is not likely
that it will be as dry as last season.
“Cotton can be made in spite of
the weevil if a vigorous and intelli
gent fight is made. A committee of
farmers, business men and scientists
from the Association of Southern Ag
ricultural Workers has studied all
the boll weevil control measures used
in the South for the past two years.
This committee recommends poison
ing with calcium arsenate. If there
are weevils in the bud of the cotton
before squares appear, the committee
recommends mopping with molases
calcium arsenate mixture or dustin'?
with calcium arsenate. For lat
poisoning only the dust is recommen 1
ed.
PURE BRED SEED AS IMPOR
TANT AS PURE BRED LIVE
STOCK
Tests conducted by the State Col
lege of Agriculture with cotton va
rieties have shown that pure and se
lected cotton seed produce $lO to
S4O worth more of seed and lint per
acre than the common gin run see 1
of what w'as originally the same va
riety. The conditions under which
the tests have been carried out were
identical, with the exception that on.*
variety, was pure selected seed and
the other was from the common gin
run.
Differences in the returns from
such plantings have been in sonic
cases as much as $75 per acre, which
is attributed entirely to the quality*
of the seed used. The only expendi
ture necessary' to have obtained the
increased return would have be r
about $2.00 per acre for the differ
ence in ti e cost of the seed, it is said.
Further tests have shown that
some varieties are adapted to cer
tain soils and climatic conditions
while others are not. For instance,
the average yields ofl College No. 1
and a strain of Cleveland during t’’e
past four years at the College Exper
iment Station, valued at last season
prices, have returned over SSO per
acre more than other prominent va
rieties. In these cases, pure seed
were used of all varieties in the test.
In view of these results farmers
are . advised to consult the nearest
experiment station in regard to the
variety best suited to their soil and
climatic conditions.

WAKING UP
AGAIN WOMAN CHANGES
THE MOVIES TODAY
BOBBED HAIR HEADACHES
The War Department, rubbing
its eyes and waking up a little, or
ders eighty-five flying machines,
made in the United States. For
ten machines by the Curtiss com
pany $250,000 will be paid, and for
seventy-five from the Douglas com
pany $883,000, about. That’s a
start, and, multiplied by a hundred,
it would give the country a good
beginning for an air fleet.
Fortunately Henry Ford and his
son Edsel B. Ford are in the air
craft field. They will let us know
what a flying machine ought to
cost, and something about the
theory that the “flying life” of an
aeroplane engine is only about 100
hours. The Fords will give you
an engine that, without expensive
renewal of parts, will fly around
the world ten times. They don’t
believe in an engine as short lived
as an ice cream cone.
Just as the virtuous complain
that women leave nothing to the
imagination, they suddenly decide
to cover up again. “Dress is to
be more subtle” this season than
in other seasons.
That isn’t saying much, for there
is nothing subtle about a lady
barebacked to her waist in the
evening, with a skirt above hei
knees in the day time.
c
But fashion really means to re
form for the moment. Arms that
have been naked from the top o i
the shoulder down, looking in
some mottled cases like a butchei
shop exhibit, are now to be cov
ered with "soft mysterious veil
ing.” Thanks for that, with or
without the mystery. And shawls
of brilliant colors, worn “to re
veal porsonaUtv.” ’''ill cover up
almost everythin;. •
Thus again wt team that it
i- always darkest before dawn.
Women go just so far none di
rection, then turn around and go
the other way, that’s their charm,
b
Clothiers gathered in solemn
conclave decide that the “real gen
tleman'’ must have a different
necktie for every shirt, thus
“demonstrating his artistic taste
and his exclusiveness.” Exclusive
ness, doubtless, is desirable. But
if each young American, for each
fancy shirt and .necktie that he
would like to have, would develop
a real working idea, the country
would be better off than with every
necktie factory working full blast.
A man known only by his clothes
belongs in the parrot house.
Twenty-one years ago about
250,000 people went once a week
to the moving pictures. The price
of admission was actually five
cents. Now between seventeen
and twenty-two millions go to see
the moving pictures regularly, and
the prices run up to three dollars
a seat. Enterprises grow rapidly
in the United States when people
become really interested.
If your friend has a bad cold,
be polite, smile, bpw r , say “I never
saw you looking better,” but don’t
shake hands. .
That is the advice of Dr. Sund
wali, of Michigan University.
Influenza is spread by handshak
ing. You get the germs from your
friend's hand, transfer them to
your handkerchief and then to your
nose.
Handshaking is foolish and ar
chaic, anyhow, as foolish as Indians
rubbing noses. Primitive man
stretched out his right hand to
show there was no knife in it, and
to reassure the stranger. That’s
hardly necessary now.
"The shingle headache,” or
“bobbed hair neuralgia,” has ar
rived, and was inevitable. Silly
women, not content to cut their
hair short, actually allow the bar
ber to shave the back of the neck,
uncovering that part of the body
most sensive to cold, tlxe little
hollow at the base of the skull.
Cut your hair that way, then
motor with your back to the
driver, and you have found the
short cut to acute neuralgia and
pneumonia.
At Council Bluffs, Jasper Mc-
Donald, negro, twenty-seven years
old, pleads guilty to criminal
assault, and within an hour is
sentenced to life imprisonment.
That is better than a lynching
because of the effect on public
opinion and respect for law. There
is, unfortunately, the possibility of
escape.

Headaches
“For about twenty years,”
says Mr. P. A. Walker, a well
known citizen of Newburg,
Ky., “one of our family reme
dies has been Black-Draught,
the old reliable. . . I use it
for colds, biliousness, sour
stomach and indigestion. I

when my liver would get out
of order. I would have
blinding headaches and
couldn’t stoop about my work,
just couldn’t go. I used
Thedford’s
BLACK-DRAUGHT
and it relieved me.
“About eight years ago my
wife got down with liver and
stomach trouble. .. We tried
all week to help her,. . . but
she didn’t get any better.
One day I said to the doctor,
‘I believe I will try Black-
Draught, it helps my liver.’
He said that I might try it
and to follow directions.
She was nauseated and
couldn’t eat or rest. She be
gan taking Black-Draught
and in two days she was
greatly Improved and in a
week she was up.”
' Try Black-Draught. It costs
only one cent a dose. Sold
