fever? 3y
Because with the microscope
we can see them in the red bloodl
cells of a man sick with malarial |
fever? , |

75 Pound Turtle
Caughtin Flint River
~ Mr. G. R. Ferguson, of the
Chokee District, was exhibiting
in Leesburg, Tuesday afternoon,
a loggerhead turtle, the largest
ever seen in this section, tipping
the scales at 75 pounds. It'was
caught Monday out of the Flint
river East of Leesburg.
~ Mr. Ferguson stated that he
was fishing for carp using a 75‘
pound test line and using as
bait, corn bread. One hour was
used to land the turtle, even after
he had got him to the bank and
had managed to get hold of his
hind leg he was forced to call
for help to bring the turtle to
the bank. The turtle'sank * his
front feet into the mud and fora
time resisted the best efforts of
the fisherman. Mr. Ferguson
stated that he caught the turtle
in the corner of the mouth or else
he would never have landed him
at all as the turtle would have
snapped his hook into.

WEEVIL NOW
By Destroying Cotton
Stalks Early, Weevils
Starve in Winter, if Not
Plowed Under, Then
Rip up Cotton Stalks,
Weevils Can Feed Only
On Green Cotton.
One of our effective steps in
boll weevil control is the early
destruction of cotton stalks. Just
as soon as the cotton can be har
vested, go into the cotton field
and either turn under the cotton
stalks or rip themup with a plow.
The object is to destroy the cot
ton plants. _
i Weevil can not feed on dead
cotton stalks, When their food
is destroyed they migrate to
where they can feed or else go
into winter quarters, Whether
they are thus driven away from
your farm or driven into winter
quarters the probabilities of their
damaging you again next season
are greatly reduced. ‘
_ Over mcst of the cotton belt
it is possible to gather the cotton
early enough to permit of the
destruction of the cotton stalks
three to four weeks earlier be-l
fore a killing frost will destroy
them. ‘Three to four weeks
earlier in going into winter
quarters means that death of
weevils from starvation and cold
will be greatly increased.
It is the last weevils that go
into winter quorters that cause
damage in the cotton crop the
next year. If all of these were
starved out by destroying cotton
stalks early there . would, of
course, be an end of the weevil.
While one can not expect that
cotton will ever be destroyed
early and completely enough o
to accomplish a complete eradi
cation of the weevil, it is true
that to the extent that this is
done the number of weevils and
their damage will be reduced.
Chopping down stalks leaves
stubbs that sprout new growth
on which the weevil can feed,
therefore, the only safe way is
to uproot the stalks or else, with
the aid _of a d¥ag chain, to turn
them completely under the fur
row slice.
Knowing that many colton
farmers do not plow deep enough
to cover up cotton stalks, the
safest general advice is to uproot
the stalks with a plow and to
watch that no new growth starts
up.
As long as there is green cot
ton growth left in the field, the
‘weeyil will be found.
" It will erawl into a lock of cot
ton or half opened bur to keep
‘warm and come out when the
sun shines to feed on the green
stuff.
Don’t burn the cotton stalks.
Let them lay on the ground.
‘When the ground is plowed they
can be turned under where they
will decay and add the organic
matter which the soils so much
need.
Why not organize a community
wide, or county-wide movement
for the early destruction of cot.
ton stalk. It means less trouble
from the weevils next year,
Can’t Take Frosting Off Glass.
There is no chemical method of tak
ing the frosting effect off of glass that
is practical. The frosting ordinarily
is ‘done either by sand blasting or by
etching with hydrofluoric acld, and
the cheapest method would be to sub
stitute clear glass for the frosted
glass—Dr. Roy Cross, Kansas City
Testing Laboratory.

The Present
Educational Outlook.
BY A. R. JORDAN.
In these days of universal
crises, it was not to Le expected
that education could continue on
its way undisturbed. A genuine
educational crises is upon us.
The most casual reader of the
daily press, cannot help seeing
it, It has seized the people sud
denly; but it is neither unfound
ed or exaggerated. It is indeed
the welcome evidence of the be
ginning of an appreciation of the
facts and condition that have
long prevyailed unnoticed. |
What does the present educa
tional outlook mean, and how
shall we meet it? This question
gseems to me to furnish a theme
peculiarly appropriate to the
‘time, for we must look to educat
ed women strengthened by the
powers and responsibilities of the
ballot, to bear @ large part in
bringing us safely through the
many difficulties.
It is high time to take the of
fencive in the struggle for edu
cation. We have been on the
defensive long enough; trying
merely to retain the ideals, the
standards and types that prevail
ed up to three or four years ago.
We must change our policy.
We must force forward instead
of backward. We must launch
an educational program so ex
tensive, with such high _ideals
and standards that, in compari
son, the old program will look
like an outgrown program of a
fast age.
And that is just what it is!
The old program was launched
nearly two centuries ago. True,
with the years, it has grown and
improved in detail, but in aim
and principle our educational
program has remained the pro
gram of two hundred years ago.
This new age in which we live
must have an eduecational pro
gram; a program of expansion
and adaption to the problems of
the age. :
What must this program be?
What must be its scope and aims?
An educational program of the
present age will not be charac
tegjzed by a sudden break from
the old, but the new must grow
out of the past. The new pro
gram, which present conditions
and problems demand, must ac
complish, all that the old pro
gram attempted, but it must also
get for itself additional and high
er aims.
An adequate program of today
must set for its achievement:
First, essential elementary know
ledge, training and discipline.
Second, civic intelligence and
responsibility.
Third, occupational and econo
mic intelligence and efficiency.
