THE BOIL wEEvIL AGAIN.
DynOpsis of . Speech by Prof. Mall
Iy, Recently Delivered ut
Shepherd, Texas.

We should understand in the be-
ginning that there is no use in fight
ing boil weevil with remedies alone.
We must combine spraying with "cul-
ture methods" This matter has been
fully covered in my reports, but |
wish to emphasize now that ii is only
by fighting the ALTERNATING brood
which is short lived, in the spring,
that we can succeed in handling the
boil wcevil. When the summer brood
once appears. spraying for boil weevil
Is useless In this locality spray only
In early May and throughout the
month OF May. Failure to do this
accounts for the many failures that
people report in the use of poisons.
The alternating weevils come from
their place of hiding from March to
April, and by the end of May 95 per
cent. of the winter brood has come
into sight, therefore the fight must
be made before June 1.
You can reduce the present broods
very much by turning cattle in to
feed OF the leaves and squares now
IN the fields, thus killing 95 per cent.
of this present crop. 1t is remark
able what fondness the cattle show
for the young squares and leaves
when first turned into the field, and
these are the points at which weevils
are to be found. After grazing on,
cut the cotton down and leave 1t un-
IN after the first frost, when 1t should
be burned. It win be. found that by
following this method large numbers
Of weevil that secured shelter in the
old cotton stalks can be burned sue
cessfully. Winter blowing should also
Be resorted 70 upon this land so that
the weeyils that are alternating in
fi,e ssit VIII be- e1posed-s1es thoe-
eushly to winter freezing

A LITTLE LARGER.

With the first day of the New Year
the Index comes to it's patrons a five
column quarto. We claim nothing
gorgeous In this change. 1t is simply
made to secure space for enlarged du.
ties. A five column quarto is not what
the publishers think an ideal newspa-
per but In this western country print.
Ing machinery is not as elaborate as 1t
should be and publishers must do The
best they can with the limited means
at their command. In time we hope to
be so situated that we can give our
readers still larger paper, but for the
present we must be content with the
present size.
The Index is now % years of age.
During most Of this time it represent
ed minority political party and it saw
all the adversities and discourage
ments known to journalism. During
the past ten years its path was an ex-
ceedIngly unfaYorable one and as we
look back we marvel AT its success, in the
face Of countless misforJunes. The pres
ent publishers took hold of the plant
when it was stock company concern In
the spring of '94, with $1,000 debt against
It. At that time it could not have sold
Cor any respectable portion OF the debt.
1t was a dismal future for the new
management but we took hold with a
will and finally lifted the debt. Follow
ing this there was internal dissension in
the stock company and long litigation
was the result. Finally the trouble
was settled and the present publishers
purchased the plant. That was four
years ago. From that time to last
spring the Index had none of the pub
lie printing. The business men of the
tow were politically against us and
most Of the trade of the city then, rs
now, went to the republican paper. In
addition to this we had to contend with
libel SUIT for six months besides 9TH
or mishaps which generally befall
newspapers. But we are still here and
hope to be many years more. We hope
TO improve the paper and the office, but
we realize the uncertainty, yet we will
strive to do our best, and only ask the
support and good Will of the -putiic in
return.
10 all Of our patrons we extend com.
pliments Of 1902 and wish all increased
prosperity and happiness.

FIRE ON WHEELS!
The Omnibus Caught Fire Friday Night
And the Team Galloped Through
The Streets.

Last Friday night the city omnibus
was set on fire and ruined. Nobody
knows exc city how the fire was started
but it is supposed that the horses
got scared at the engine and put ont
tor home, and on crossing the railroad
the lamp was upset, setting fire to the
bus. The horses ran up Kansas Aven-
ue, stopped at the bus barn. then turn
ed and ran up to the central livery barn
where they were caught and By prompt
response from the pumping station the
flames were soon extinxuished. 1t was
a windy night and it might have been a
Dig fire. The stopping of the team be-
fore 1t got close enough to light any
other buildings was fortunate.
All but the running gears of the bus
was ruined. 1t belongs to II. Tisdale,
managed by j. B. Gano. r. S. Bisby,
who was driving the bus, and Mr.. Gano
were in the waiting room at the depot
when the horses started.

A Continued Story.

When the votes were counted Nov. 5th
and the result was definitely announced
Nov 9Th, we supposed that the county
printer campaign was settled for
short time at least. But it seems not
80. The smooth" gentleman who Gre.
ated the Office and slipped $50 cogs in
landing at the feast, has jumped into
another campaign already. He is now
running continued story entitled
"Clate Herr Called Down." 10 make
bis paper real interesting he should run
that thing at least six weeks like he
did the Czolgosz rot. We are not asking
this because there is, or should be,
limit to asking fayors even In the news
paper fraternity. Mr.. Lorton has al
ready been exceedingly kind to us and
1t is imposing on his good nature to
ask FOR any thing so soon after the No
vember ides.
However, il he Is still anxious to tes-
tify he might tell the public when and
from whom does he expect to receive
payment for those publication notices
which he and the county attorney tried
to keep away from the Index. He and
the county attorney might also write
a ''slgned statement" informing the
public where the latter has been getting
his supplies since May l, 1901.
