Candler in Atlanta Journal. Lynching has greatly dcreased. It is claimed that during the year 1922 fifty-seven persons were lynched in the United States, whereas in 1923 there were only twenty-eight. It is affirmed also that during the year 1923 there were forty-six in stances in which lynchings were pre vented by the courage and fidelity of the officers of the law. Every law-abiding and patriotic person will rejoice that this barbar ous evil is declining. Everyone will ardently hope that this blot upon American civilization may be removed by the utter and speedy disappear ance of lynching from every section of our country. It is a most inexcusable and repul sive form of violence that cannot be condemned too strongly. When a hu man being is lynched the law is lynched and civilized government is set at naught. It is doubtless true that many perpetrators of hideous crimes who deserved death, have been lynched; but that fact does not justify their lawless execution by frenzied mobs. It is doubtless true also that innocent persons have been lynched; and one such case is enough to condemn mob law in all its forms, hpwever plaus ibly defended. Lynching, and all other forms of lawlessness, must be put down, or there is an end of all government. There is no security for life, liberty, or property when law is defied. “Get the Weevil Before It Has a Chance to Get the Crop" Is. a Good Slogan. Tly Keeton Arnett (For the National 801 l Weevil Con trol Association.) New Orleans, La., April 14. —There has been much speculation among cotton farmers and those interested in the production of cotton as to the number of boll weevils which will ac tually attack the crop this year. The general belief has been that the severity of the winter with the quick changes in temperature has caused a considerable decrease in the number of weevils. This belief has been strenghened by the announce ment of government experts, after an examination of Spanish moss near Tallulah, La., that only 0.5 weevils per ton of moss survived the winter. This announcement, with the warn ing that if spring weather should be favorable to the insects they would increase to such proportions without control that considerable damage would be done, is believed to have caused thinking farmers to plan to ALWAYS GIVING BARGAINS at THE TEN CENT STORE It’s good luck to wear something new on Easter; BETTER LUCK to buy it at The Ten Cent Store.

HALE, Manager take advantage of the low rate of emergence by ‘'getting the weevil be fore it has a chance to get the crop” at a cost that will be much lower than if application of control meth ods are delayed until there is a no ticeable increase in numbers of The pest. The fact that the examination for the degree of survival was conduct ed only in Louisiana also has in creased the speculation as to whether he same is true in other parts of the cotton belt. So far as is known no other expert examinations have been made, but it will he possible for the farmers to determine for themselves within a short time the probable de gree of infestation this year. Many farmers already have plant ed their crops and others will be do ing so within a few days. And, as all farmers know, within a few more days the plants themselves will begin to appear. With the appearance of the plants the boll weevil problem begins to take on a serious aspect. Whatever the number of weevils that survived the winter, it must be remembered that no food has been eaten by them since going into winter quarters last fall and that they are eagerly wait ing for the appearance of the plants. They begin feeding on the tips of the plants just as soon as conditions per mit. In order to get the best possible advantage of the weevil, it is recom mended that farmers make close daily observations of the plants as soon as they begin to appear, examining ev ery plant for weevils, and as soon as there are as many as twenty insects to the acre begin poisoning either with calcium arsenate in dust form or a calcium arsenate-molasses mix ture. Early applications of poison will greatly reduce the number of wee vils, make the late season fight one of less effort and will materially de crease the cost of poisoning in ad dition to saving a large part of the crop from the weevil’s ravages. The correct way of poisoning at this stage as recommended by state and government experts will be dis cussed in an article next week. Fur ther information may be obtained from the county agent, state college of agriculture or the National 801 l Weevil Control Association, New Or leans, La.
