801 l Weevil vs Birds.
Experts tell us thut in a very
short time the boll weevil will be
with U 9 and while we have only be
come acquainted with this pe3t in
the last few years, yet we are told
by scientists that the weevil has
been in existence f»r a consider
able time.
The ravages of this insect in the
cotton fields of the South is be
coming greater each year and un
less something is done to stop it's
depredations it will seriously cur
tail the production of cotton in
this country. It is asserted by a
good authority that the cause of
the increase of this insect is that
the destruction of the birds has
left no enemy to prev upon it
therefore it can multiply without
hindrance.
The birds are becomming more
scarce each year and with their
disappearance insects are bound
to increase. All birds are natural
enemies to insects and if they are
killed out entirely the farming in
terest will be at their mercy.
Certain kinds of birds are kill-
ed ruthlessly as being enemies to
farmers as they destroy some of
the grains that are planted, but
even this kind does more good
than harm, white njany birds are
killed from wantonness.
Doubtless it would be of vast
benefit to the farmers of the count
ry at large if no birds were killed
of any kind for the next tell years,
not only would it be a pleasure to
be able to see them but tho num
ber of insectß destroyed by them
would more than pay for the dam
age done by them.
Societies are being organized to
protect certain species and these
are doing a great deal of good. If
every community would have such
an organization incredible work
could be done.—Ex.

Just as “Seeing is BelLving ”
Just a> out a week ago some
thing happened in the far interior
of the c >iu.tv that we waned to
know about, ana wanted to know
about quick at that. And just
then is when we appreciated sub
stuntia'ly of how much value id
the farmers’ line telephone . Not
only were we able to get just the
right party wanted, but we were
abte to get several parties, and we
obtained all the information desir
ed. So we have reached the con
clusion that if the farmers’ line
telephone is of benefit to us, bow
much more it must benefit the
furmers, who want to get, not us,
but the business establishments in
the city, or a physician, perhaps,
five or ten miles away. In return
this benefits that business house
and thut doctor. That is the cold
business proposition, and not the
social side of it, and yet there
must be lots of comfort in Know
ing i hat you can call up a neigh
bor at any time, and there must
be lotßi>f pleasure for wives to be
so neighborly as to call up each
other.
We were not skeptical before of
the merits of the farmers, line tel
ephone, and we knew' that its ben
efits were not theoretical, but
practical, and we were not doubt
ful of hear say evidence, but “as
seeing is believing,” why so is
actually being benefited better
than hearing your friend talk
abc ut what, has helped them.
The sectinh around Lyons has
made steady and rapid ad
vances within the past 7 or 8
months in connecting-up farmer's
lines, ai d the work haß only just
begun, so to speak. Folks in the
country are beginning to arouse
themselves to the advantages of
haying telephone lines, and the
city people are finding it to then .
advantage to co-operate in every
S'3V possible.
