BOLlfelLtel vMEtHOQ&i /ml a^^ro^ /exi by pAflte frGovemrognt Expert/ 1 In addition to the use of poison there are numerous other practices which tend to reduce the boll weevil injury to cotton. Even when poison intr is practiced the most thorough attention should be given to the In direct means of control, since they re duce the amount of poisoning which might be necessary and increase the profit which may be obtained. One of the most important steps to ward reducing the weevil Infestation Is the destruction of the cotton plants In the early fall before the weevils have hibernated. To be of the great est value, the plants must be plowed under deeply before the first killing frost. It has been pointed out In a previous article that Immature stages of the weevils may survive the frosts and cause a continuous development of weevils throughout the winter. This may be checked completely by the de struction of the stalks. In some districts where It is lm possible to practice fall destruction of stalks, somewhat the same results may be obtained by graxing the field with cattle, sheep or goats. Ex perts declare there is no danger to ,the stock from poisoning as there very rarely is poison on the at that time of the year and the amount on the plants immediately after an appli cation will not Injure the stock. It is often possible to reduce con siderably the spring infestation by proper winter clean-up measurer, around the fields. Since the weevils will hiberante successfully in any trash or rubbish, it is a good practice to bum over or clean up around the cotton field during the winter especially the fence rows and dltcb banks. Much can be accomplished by the elimination of hibernation quarters. Especially along the more northerly portions of the weevil zone, the most successful hibernation is largely con fined to the timbered areas, and as a result serious weevil Injury Is experi enced only in the fields adjoining such timber. Under such conditions it is of the utmost importance to plan all clearing operations so that the open areas for cultivalon are consolidated into as large tracts as possible, thus increasing the amount of land which Is sufficiently distant from timber to suffer a minimum amount of weevil injury. Further information on the subject of boll weevil control may be obtained from the county agent, state eollege of agriculture or the National 801 l Wee vil Control Association, Room 2?fl Whitney building.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—What Jeholada Meant to Judah. Joasb, viewed In the light of his an cestors. was a poor prospect for a king. His grandmother was the wicked Athaliah and his great-grand parents were Ahab and Jesebel. There was enough bad blood in his veins to assure his doom. Despite this fact, he brought about some noble reforms and turned the people back to GocL 1. Athaliah Usurps the Throne, (w. 1-3). L Her Attempt to Destroy the Seed Royal (v. 1). In order to remove any rightful claimant to the throne she tried to kill all the royal male chil dren. The act was not of sudden Im pulse, but of deliberate purpose. 2. Joasb Preserved by Jehosbeba (vv. 2,3). Though Athaliah was keen eyed, she was checkmated by another woman. Tbla woman, the wife of the priest, stole away this child and hid him away In a bedchamber for six years. God had promised that through Uie Dayidlc line the Messiah should couie. In order that this line be un broken Joash must be preserved. No purpose of God can fail. 11. Joash Crowned King (vv. 4-12). 1. Jehoiada’s Preparations (vv. 4- 11). The high priest and his wife were strong characters. As the high priest, Jehoiadu felt that it was his duty to thwart the heathen project of Athaliah. His wife’s co-operation made possible the saving of Joash. (1) Seeks the aid of the military lead ers (v. 4). He knew somehow that these men were not loyal to Ath aliah. (2) He took an oath of them !n the house of the Lord (v. 4). He bound them to their agreement by every avail able means. (3) He incited their spirit of pa triotism (v. 4). He gave them a sight of the king’s son. This, no doubt, was a great surprise. Now, having seen the heir to the throne, they would risk everything, even their lives, in order to set him on the throne. (4) He co-ordinates all matters (vv. 5-11). The soldiers were divided Into companies and arms were dis tributed to them. Each group wag as signed to specific duties. 2. The Coronation (v. 12). (1) The king’s son brought forth. This was a great day in Jerusalem. (2) Put the crown upon him. This was the formal induction Into office. (8) Gave him the testimony. This was a copy of the law Indicating that the king was to rule according to the law of God. The act of putting the law on his head showed that the king himself would be under control of the law. (4) Made him king. This shows that he had been made king by the choice of the people. (5) Anointed him. They poured oil upon his head. This was the usual method of consecrating prophets, priests and kings. (6) Clapped their hands. This was a token of Joy. The deed being done, they were ready to publicly proclaim it They shouted “Long live the king.” 111. Althaliah Slain (vv. 13-17). 1. The Noise of the Coronation of Joash Brought Athaliah tb the Temple (v. 15). Up to this time she thought her place on the throne was secure and that her heathen religion had free course. 2. Her Doom (v. 14). Upon her ar rival at the temple she saw the king wearing the crown and surrounded by guards so that she could do nothing. In her despair she exclaimed “Trea son, treason." This was not treason, but the triumph of right over wrong— the defeat of conspiracy and plot ting. 8. Athaliah Executed (w. 15, 16). The orders were that she should not be killed In the temple. They led her out by the way of the horses’ entrance to the king’s palace and sle* her. What a tragic end for the sinner. Sin can only prosper for a time. IV. Worship of the People (w. 17, 18). Joash was seven years old when he was made king. The high priest made a covenant between the Lord, the king and the people that they would be the Lord’s people. In carrying out this covenant they broke down the temple •f Baal and slew the priests of Baal. » - When Success Fails There is no failure more heartbreak ing and disastrous than success which leaves God out of the bargain. If you are simply setting out In life to amass mere material success, fame created or position gained, then suc cess will be the most dismal and dis astrous failure. —G. Campbell Morgan.
