A Merry War Brewing\
A very unfortunate state of affairs
line nrleen iij Goorgin tlmt in going to
affect vitally tho farming intorcata of
tho State, unless a change onn bo
broujrht nhout. Wo have reference to
tho light that ha» boon precipitated by
the Farm Bureau, a new organisation,
upon tho State Department of Agricul
ture. This fight Hoonm to linvc emanated
from tho State Collego of Agriculture,
which it 1b claimed line wilfully nnd de
liberately interfered nnd meddled with
tlio administrative work of tho Depart
ment of Agriculture.—LaOrnuge Graph

Our worthy contohiporary Booms not
to have gathered tho more important
facta involved in the light that 1b being
made, not by tho Farm Bureau Federa
tion upon tho State Dopnrtment of Agri
culture, but by the State Department of
Agriculture upon tho Farm Bureau Fed
eration, in nn effort to dlspurago tho
work and discredit tho usofulneBs of tho
Farm Bureau Federation.
Wo neod go back only a fow weeks
to recall thnt U B, Jackaon, putative
chief of tho so-called State Buronu of
Markota, (which is n subsidiary of tho
State Department of Agriculture,) wont

alilo expense in order to lay a griovunco
before the House Cominitteo on Bunking

In soma form for the farming interests
of the country. In Ills statement bofora

silly and time-worn charge that tho

the organisation was being promoted by
“the Interests’’ for political purposon,
Up to this point tlioro is no proof,
purpose. If the Farm Bureau Federa
tion is being financed anil fostered by
Wall street it is a bnd, bad thing, and
should bo squelched before it docs any
more harm.
It is of little importance, of course,
thnt the president of the State Farm
Bureau Federation denies each and every
allegation in tho indictment brought
against the organization hy Jackson nnd
Brown; nor can It be expected that tho
more denial by n minion of Wall street
would carry conviction under any circum
stances. Still, nt the .same time, it. is
ly fair that the head of the State
Form Bureau Federation bo given nn
opportunity to bo heard in rebuttal, and,
having 'nllowdd space for the allegations
of Chief Jackson, Commissioner Brown
and Col. Jim MIIIb, wo cannot in fairness
deny tho flrst-numcd official the privi
lege of oqual space to refute the charges
brought against tho organization of
which he is tho tltulnr head in this
State, Replying to the charge thnt the
Farm Bureau Federation is being finnne
cd by Wall street, ho says: “The charges
nnd mnliclous insinuations of both .Jack-
son anil Brown that funds for the organ
ization of Farm Bureaus come from Wall
street is as fnlso as it can ho, and they
know it.’’ Ho says furtlidr that the
policies of tho State Farm Bureau Fed
oration nro .shaped nnd directed, by nn
advisory board composed of two members
from each Congressional district, (a man
nnd n woman,) who nro active, bona lido

Mills, nnd others,) “have in every way
possible triod to cripple and hinder the
work of tho Farm Bureau and the State

Washington to prosecute false charges
against tho State Farm Bureau Federa

that the absence of gunno is going to

its strength tho more into the building
up of the plant itself. I doubt if tho

than last year. Follow tho Government’s
rulea and not the rules of some neighbor
or outsider and concentrate, as never
before, on the killing of the early or
freshly emerged weevils—and this early
brood can be killed.

That honesty is not only the best, but
First,- the early weovil, before the cot
ton ' biooitie, cuts the bud. Many find
dusting tlio bud with calcium arsenate
to be easier, less expensive, and more ef
ficient thnn picking weevils from th,e bud.
Many wisely both poison the bud anil
pick the weevils. Tnke a cheese-cloth and
make a kind of minnow fish dip net,
with a handlo. Put about one pound of
calcium arsonate in it nnd walk along tho
row nnd flip the dip-net on each plant.
It will cover it white. This will not cost
more than 25c. or 30c. an aero, because
calcium arsenate is very Cheap. Keep
this up as long as the weevils are in the
bud. It may require two or three dust
ings. The riioBt Important weevil killing
iB in the early season, because, for one
reason, everything must bo done to pro
duce a heavy crop of big bolls early in
July—which bolls are fairly safe from
weevils.
Second, later when tho punctured
squares show up go through each plant
nnd flick off nil the faded, dead squares
anil, destroy them. When the squares
fall pick them up twice a week from the
ground with a boll woevil destroyer—a
little $1.25 instrument, (postpaid,) with
forked prongs tlmt can pick up more
Bquares than three ,or four men can do.
Third, some time, perhaps late inJune,
when there is ten per cent, infestation
of squares, begin dusting at night in or
der to poison the dew pn the plants,
which tlie weevils drink. Try and keep
infestation to fifteen per cent. It may
require three or four dustings. Dustings
are not indicated after Aug. 1, or per
haps July 25. The hand duster, Spring-
field, costs today $15. The most econom
ical of all dusters is the Iron Age, $275
without a light, and $326 with a light.
It is a two-horse machine, two-wheel; that
straddles the row and dusts three rows,
nnd if there is the slighest breeze it will
(lust five rows at a time. It will do 25
to 30 acres a night. This is a thoroughly
reliable machine, and really a man with
it could do community work on contract,
Fourth, plow with a sweep twice a
week and put on each ond of the single
trees two juto bags, which strike on
either side the cotton plants which Cause
the weevils to fall to the ground—both
the weevil and tlio fallen squares be
ing covered up by,the sweep and killed
in the earth. Never, by any means, lay
by your cotton. Keep on thiB twice-a-
wepk.plowing method oyen up nutil- Au
gust. Tho cost of calcium arsenate for
each dusting, is nbout $1 an acre.
Fifth, tho close spacing of cotton un
der boll weevil control is absolutely
necessary. Chop out to a hoe’s-width
nnd defer chopping until cotton is eight
to ton inches high. Even three or four
inches in tlie row is better than twelve to
fifteen 'inches. It, is ruinous, under boll
weevil control, to wide space cotton', say
,to eighteen or thirty inches in the!row;.
ln thirty to thirty-six inches between Vows,
is sufficient.
Sixth, unless you wish to ,give ; free
board and lodging to weevils throughout
the winter and create a heavy infestation
for the early spring it is absolutely nec
essary to pick your cotton quick nnd
early and to turn under the cotton Stalks
while infested with weevil and before
frost, and before any hibernation begins.
Stalks can be turned under, or, ifi they
are too big, tliey can be out and burned,
The reason of this is so apparent that
it is amazing to know that this process
was wholly omitted the past fall!—and
which explains the heavy infestation of
tide spring.
“WOMAN, LOVELY WOMAN.”
Hero is a curious old Sanskrit story
of tlie creation of woman, which you may
like to piny on the piano some evening:
Ill the beginning, when Twashtri came
to the creation’ of woman, he found that
he had exhausted his materials in the
making of man, and that no spliil ele
ments were left.
In ills dilemma, after profound medi-
lotion, he did as follows:
He took the rotundity of the moon,
the twinkling of stars; the curves of
creepers, the clinging of tendrils; the
trembling of grass, the slenderness of the
reed; the bloom of flowers, the lightnosB
of leaves; tlie tapering of elephant’s
trunk, the glances of deer; the clustering
of rows of bees, tho joyous gaiety of
Bunbealns; the weeping of clouds, tlio
fickleness of wind; the timidity of the
hare, the vanity of the peacock; the soft
ness of the parrot’s bosom, the hard
ness of the adamant; the sweetness of
honey, the cruelty of the tiger; the warm
glow of the fire, the coldness of bhow;
tho chattering of jays, the cooing of the
kokila; the .hyppericy of the crane, the
fidelity of the chakrftvaka; and com
pounding all these together he made wo
man and gave her to man. But in two
weeks the man came crying, “0, Mighty
Master of Mysteries I Thou who hast
mgde all' the wonders of the world, take
again the woman that-Thou hast given
nie; she teases me, she tantalizes me and
tires me, and I cannot live with her any
more. ’ ’ ' And Twashtri took the woman
away. But in two week's! the man came
again, and cried out; “Give me back the
woman that Thou made; I cannot live
without her. ’ ’ ,
How, now!” came the answer. “You
brought the woman to me, saying that
