FIGHTING THE BOLL WEEVIL—
The weevils are already here in great
numbers, anil they are still coining out.
This can be demonstrated by picking
thoroughly, anil going tmek a few days
later. The place picked will bo found re-
infested, nud as no Aveevlls have hatched
out yet the reinfostation shows that the
weevils ora Btill Joining out.
Unless we can do something lo cheek
tbo ravages that those weevils are nmk-
iug there seems to be little chance for a
cotton* crop thin year. Many farmers are
debating whether or not to plow up their
cotton, so iih to plant some other crop in
ite placo. There are some eases in which
this would no doubt bo advisable. If,
for example, there is nay doubt about
the acreage of corn or liny or potatoes
being sufficient for nil home use, with a
surplus to eovor shortages or miscalcula
tion, then it would certainly bo wise to
plow up enough of the cotton to make up
. this acreage. Tlio homo supplies should
include everything that will bo needed
on the farm, both for owner nnd tenant,
not omitting plenty of feed for all live
stock. Tlio aim of every farmer should
be to bo absolutely independent of out-
slilo help next year, If ho 1b in debt,
that way lies ids best chance to pay out,
Again, if ho has moro than five or six
acres to the plow in cotton It will prob
ably bo wiso for him to plow up the ox-,
coss acreage, boeauso tlioro is very little
chance to make cotton on any of it if ho
haB moro than lie enn make a thor
oughgoing fight to save, nnd the testi
mony of thoso who have tried it out is
that five acres is about the limit,.
Howovor, if a. sufficient supply of all
that can bo used on the farm with a. safe
surplus, and such other money crops ns
tlio fnrmer thinks he enn sell, has boon
provided, and tlio cotton planted does
not exceed flvo ncres to tlio plow and has
some prospect of making a profitable
crop without the hall weevil, it seomH to
me tlio wisest tiling to do is to make u
fight for it, ovon if that involves soiiio
additional expense.
In addition to continued rapid culti
vation, there are two tilings that can lie
done to reduce boll weevil damage.
These are picking tlio weevils mid
squares, and poisoning (lie weevils.
Picking iqi the sqnaroR and’ catching
nod killing tlio weevils is effective in
proportion to the thoroughness with
which It is done. It Ir tedious, back
breaking work, and, if you have it done
will require cioso supervision to secure
tltaroiigiiunuH, but If properly done, it
will save a good deal of, cotton. In the
early stages of the fight it is probably
the most effortivo method to use.
Wu have considerable testimony to
show that, poisoning 1 with calcium arse
nate under I'uvoraltle conditions lias
given profitable results.
We must remember that, tlio weevil is
only supposed to gel this poison by
drjnking it ill the dew on the cotton
leaves; therefore, in order to got results
the poison must be pretty evenly dis
tribute,I over the cotton leaves, and there
must lie dew enough to dissolve the poi
son. We need not expect results unless
wo Imve these conditions. In very dry
weather iuHi as wo have had lately
there is net- dew enough to dissolve tlio
poison, and in showery weather the poi
son is likely to lie washed off before it
•does liny good. In ort|ui\'tO hope for
success you must also have some means
of dusting the pnismi on that will give
even distribution without using too
much poison.
The poison can be bought for toe. per
pound, and probably between 15 and
20 pounds per acre would be sufficient
for four applications, making the cost,
of material from #2,25 eto #3 per acre,
and where I Imd already gone to the ex
pense ltceessory to bring the cotton this
far I would risk that much more on it.

The use of chemical disinfectants is
now known not to be nearly ns txiuc.fi of

of urticles used by sick persons, nnd we
have no surer method of protection from
disease than by boiling wator or washing
in hot water and strong soap nil vessels
used in a sickroom, and also bed and
body liuon. Simple precaution to take
whoa sickness is present is .well worth

Let’s remember—
1. Keep all wnste mutter covered nnd
disinfected,
2. Keep sick-room absolutely clean.
Sunshine, soap and water are foes to

3. Avoid persona) contact with arti

4. Prevent contact by flies or mos-

GARBAGE CANS AND FLIES
RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY
DISEASES—
, For many years it seemed, even to
physicians nnd scientists, that certain
diseases just ‘‘broke out”' at. certain
seasons, nnd while tiie special germs pro
ducing the disease were what is termed
“ isolated ’ ’--that is, known nnd studied
—yet it was not definitely understood
just how nnd why they should attack
groups of people at about the. sumo
time, and often in tho same general lo
calities, Now it is at last definitely do
elded that nmuy diseases—especially ty
jihoid fever, dysentery, tuberculosis, and
ninny obscure ills of tho digestive tract
and of the stomnsh and bowels—are
caused by coming in contact with tho
disease germs thrown off by persons suf
fering with the special diseases mention
ed. In order to’ secure protection from
such ills, therefore, it is necessary to ro-
metttber that contact with tho germs that
produce -them is brought about, by either
ourselves touching articles used by the
sick parsing or by some insect—general
ly the flyjj.illuiug fed on waste matter
from V.hb tiii'k-fqotn or body waste dopes
itod In mi screened toilets. The fly is
the most common source of infection. It
attacks' the excreta left unprotected, and,
leaving such places, makes a direct at
tack on our food, which soon becomes in
fected,. and, being oaten by us, carries
. tUlr infection irtto our own systems.
ilf your bodily resistance is l. ivoiot
from any one. ' wo cannot fight the at
tacks of tin.- germs in our system, and
we soon fall a* victim to the disease our
selves.
This is one of the strongest- arguments
in favor of tho covered garbage can and
sanitary toilets. There should always
bo some place to deposit body wnste; nnd
septic taks can be provided with small
expense, and always tlio toilets should bo
screened.
Iu kitchen waste the use of chloride
of lime is advised, for this is cheap, and
effective if used freely in all garbage
cans. The con, however, should be kept
THE OLD COUNTRY MILL.
Augusta Herald.
The boll weevil is truly u blessing in
ligliise, <il’ wo will touch the South to
make her own food. At tlio present time
this seems to be quite likely tu om(r, as
we hear of. a number of old mills being
rebuilt and put into commission, with the
expectation of handling tho grain crop
that, is now being harvested.
This crop of wheat and oats is said to
be the largest planted since the war, nnd
there will be n bumper yield. Reports
from various parts of this section do
soriho tho small grain crops us splendid,
And the young corn, now about waist
high, is luxuriant. Much corn and pens
will be planted to succeed tho corn, and
out crops that are being taken off. When
the planting of lute corn is added to tho
acreage already seeded to corn, it is
thought tiiis year’s corn crop will be the
greatest ever harvested.
In Richm'oiul county especially w
hear of preparations going on to handle
these magnificent crops in the old-time
way peculiar to the old South. In the
past Storey's mill, on McBean creek, that
was allowed to fall into decoy, is being
rebuilt nud will again serve that fruitful
locality. Tlio now mill being erected will
grind butli, corn and wheat.
Tho Jack Rhoades mill, situated on the
Patterson bridge road; is also being put
into shape. The large-merchant mill
Wrens is undergoing improvements,
also is Loiter‘s mill near Berzelln. it
is said that sumo others are also con
templating a return to former conditions.
In old times the mini that owned a water
mill was usually rich.
