use the spray. This has suggested
the use of the early blooming ccttor
for colonizing purposes in order that
the weevil may be located in a limited
district. For this purpose we find
that Welborn's Perfection is superior
to all other varieties, as 1t furnishes
food for the weevil at the earliest pos
sible date. This colonizing cotton
should be planted upon the edges of
the fields and on banks of bitches,
but only good land should be used
on which to plant cotton. Prepare
ground required for this trap system
just as well as for the regular field
crops. The small bolls and squares
can be picked up from these trap
rows much more successfully than
from general crop because of the
small amount of labor required. |

these trap rows.
The summer brood of weevil does
not appear until about July /, and il
is fact that the winter brood does
not do any considerable amount of
damage, but they prepare for the
harmful July brood. From May IS to
the 25th l have sprayed cotton sue
cessfully and prevented summer crops
of weevil by the use of three spray
ings. The trap cotton should be
sprayed one month in advance of the
regular crop, if the early variety men,
toned is used.
The weevil can be controlled, but
it will never be eradica+ed 1t is
delusion to suppose that it has ever

FASTENED by the sale of weevil-infest-
ed cotton seed from boil weevil dis
tricts which are shipped into northern
localities. l can offer no hope for
those who depend upon the develop
ment of a parasite to kill the weevil,
but call attention to the following
features which will permit the situa-
ton to be controlled sufficiently to
insure a good cotton crop every year
in any of the boil weevil counties.
First, begin the fall campaign against
the weevil early. Second, practice
early planting with early maturing
varieties. Third, use wide rows with
trap rows around and outside the
fields.
Spraying late in the season does not
prevent the boil weevil from doing his
deadly work, but there are some four
hundred varieties of insects that prey
upon cotton which singly are less de-
structive than the weevil, but in the
aggregate are often as harmful as is
this pest. Spraying does kill many of
these other varieties Of insects and it
often pays to spray late in the sea-
son on their account even when no
boil weevil is to be found.
In his discussion of the subject,
Prof. Mally threw down the gauntlet
to those who have failed to secure re-
suits by spraying, and of those pres
ent interested in the subject, he asked
that they read his reports closely and
then determine whether or not they
had consistently followed the direc-
tons therein contained. The state
ments and explanations appeared to
meet all of the inquiries of the cot
ton growers present and to give very

THE BOIL WEEVIL AGAIN.
Synopsis of Speech by Prof. NAL
Iy, Recently Delivered at
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 1
wish to- emphasize now that it is only
by fighting the alternating brood
which is short lived, in the spring,
that we can succeed in handling the
boil weevil. 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 off 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 off,
cut the cotton down and leave it I'M
til after the first frost, when it should
be burned. 1t will 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 to upon this land so that
the weevils that are alternating in
the soil will be exposed more thor
oughly to winter freezing.
The winter brood goes out in the
spring and feeds on cotton alone. It
never eats anything but cotton. 1t
may, however, be found accidentally
in acorns or in nearly any place, be-
cause they are so numerous. They do
not feed on peas and acorns. Many of
the weewl reported as growing in
peas, beans and acorns are not boil

boil weeyil are found in acorns.
Scientists have classified more than
thousand species of bool weevil.
During the early spring the cotton
weeyil lives on foliage and not on
squares, and this is the proper time to

TROUBLE BEGINS.

Trouble begins with the first back
ache. Backache comes in many
forms Sudden twinges of pain, sharp
stitches, slow exhaustive aches.
Most backache pains are kidney
pains.
The Kidneys fail to perform the
duties nature intends them to do
and the warning of trouble comes
through the back.
Neglect the kidney warning, grave
complications will surely follow.
Urinary disorders - Diabetes
Bright's Disease-are the downward
steps of neglected Kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure every kid
ney and bladder sickness and the
cure lasts. Read this proof of it:
Mrs. Adam Gunt1e, residing at 701
South Plum St., Charlottesville, Ind,
says: II made public statement in
1897 saying that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured member of our family
after he had suffered for years with
weak back and kidney troubles.
He took three boxes of this remedy
and was completely cured. Now
three years have elapsed since I
made this statement and I am only
too pleased to reendorse it. I have
also used -Doan's Kidney Pills myself,
obtaining the best results. l have
recommended this remedy to my
friends and neighbors as one which
can always be depended upon"
A free trial of this great Kidney
medicine which cured Mrs. Guntle

part of the United States. Address

Snrouting Grain for Feed.

There has been a goof deal said in
the agricultural papers recently about
the advantages of sprouting grain
for stock food, many writer's
claiming a wonderful increase in nu-
trative value by the process. AS the
only addition to the grain is water,
where the alleged addition to the feed
value comes from is beyond our COM
prehension. There is a given amount
of protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber
and ash in grain, and as water con-
tains none of these elements, and as
nothing is added but water, it is plain
that the whole scheme is a hoax. The
process of sprouting and the chem
zeal changes that accompany the
process may add to the palatableness
and wen digestibility of the grain,
but no additional fet d value can be
realized. To increase the feeding
value of a grain it is plain that some
substance of greater feed value than
the grain must be added to it, and
even in that case it would be the COM
pound and not the grain itself, as is
claimed, the feed value of which
would be greater than that of the
raw grain.-Farm and Ranch.

HERE AND THERE.

No breed of beast or fowl will
give satisfactory results to the man
who knows nothing of breeding and
makes no effort to learn anything OF
its principles.
One consolation we have in con-
templating short corn crop in the
southwest is that we can substitute
cake for hoecakes and cream bread
for corn dodgers.
The remedy for Indigestion in
fowls is the same as for men-re-
stricted diet of easily digested food.
Starvation in moderate cases is good
medicine for fowls or folks.
'All flesh is grass saith the Scrip
lures. When we reflect that much of
the best flesh is corn, oats and cot
ton seed meal, we conclude that the
text has figurative meaning.
Some farmers have the mistaken
idea that sheep can get along with
very little water in winter. The fact
is that they require it as regularly as
other stock, and ten head will use
fully as much as 1,200-pound horse.
"A well-bred flock of chickens is
ornamental as well as useful. And if
to these are added flock of fine
ducks, the scene is enhanced in beau
ty. Then geese, guineas and turkeys
may be added without detriment to
the landscape.

ance of keeping their farm clean. The

3,7S2 flares" were landed, of which
66S were from the eastern banks. On
the Pacific coast, the catch amounted
to 217,965,156 pounds, the value of
which was $6,20S,639. The capital in
vested there amounted to nearly $13,-
100000, and 10000 people found en-
ployment in the business. For the
sake of comparison, it may be worth
telling that the fresh-water lakes,
which Uncle Sam also cultivates,
yielded 113,72S,04O pounds of fish,
worth $2,611.4S2, while the Mississippi
and its tributaries produced 94,713,-
4O2 pounds, valued at $1,771,S12. To
