Raising and Caring for Poultry.

Planters, agricultural scientists and
inventors of farm machines are all
preparing to fight the cotton boil wee
vii, and this in the face of the opin-
ion of entOmOlogists that there is not
even remote probability that this
pest will ever be eXterminated. 1t is
asserted that it is spreading north
ward, is already in Louisiana and will
eventually enter the other cotton states.
The government has taken a part in
the war by its recent appropriation of
S20O,OO0 to be expended in putting to
the test some of the facts that the de-
partment of agriculture believes it has
established through its Investigation
work of the past two years. The cam
paign against the weevil as planned
by Mr.. b. T. Galloway and DIR. How
ard respectively of the bureaus of
plant industry and entomology includes
the following lines:
Farmers cooperative demonstration
work on the organization of farmers
Ill Texas and Louisiana for the cult
walton of cotton on their farms under
specific instruction from the depart
ment of agriculture.
Plant breeding and selection of ex-
listing varieties, making them earlier
and more prolific; to be conducted on
experimental farms.
DiversifcatiOn of crops on farms in
cooperation with their owners.
Investigation of parasites of the boil
weevil in the original home of the
weevil, the object being to introduce
parasites into Texas.
Investigation of the effect of fer
tiliZers on the early maturing of cot
ton, testing of pOisons and boil worm
machines and cotton inspection.
1t is claimed by the division Of en-
tomology that methods which l Judge

have proved successful not only in the |
hands Of the experts, but with many |
planters, during the past two very I'M |
favorable seasons. The detail of work |
which is credited with greatest adj |
is the destruction of the plants
in the fall, thus reducing the number
OF weevils, this to be followed up by
strenuous endeavor to produce an early
crop the following season.

with an entire disregard for geograph-
ical conditions. But it is a mistake to
postpone the consolidation in advan-
tageous places because of some out of
the way places. do not urge this GU
the score of economy. The cheapest
thing is not always the best. Let us
not cheaper life for the country child.
We can afford to pay more if we get
better service. A good school seven
months is worth more than a poor one
nine months. However, experience
teaches that if you take into consider
alton the average attendance in days
by each pupil, the cost is much lower
than under the present system. For
be it remembered that under the new
plan the average attendance will be
better, often reaching ninety per cent.
If this plan of conveyance should be
followed it would go a long way to-
ward solving the good roads question.
People would demand an improvement
along that line.
''Rural Consolidation" as the new
movement is called, is yet in its in
fancy, but it is meeting with wonder
full lavor, aud has received such an
impetus that in few years hundreds
of districts will be consolidated, and
the uninterested single district will be
the exception and not the rule. 1t is
making rapid progress and is at pre-
sent authorized in nineteen states and
is in operation in some parts of each of
them.

tions to planters. The substance of
those which will probably be turned TO
account for this years crop is as fol-
lows:
First.-Plant early. If possible plant
seed of varieties known to mature ear
~ or at least obtain seed from as far
north as possible. Early varieties in
general, however, having a small stall,
and short taproot are adapted only for
rich soils.
Second.-Cultivate the fields thor
oughly. The principal benefit of this
comes from its influence to constant
growth in the plant and CONSEQUENT
early maturity of the crop.
Third.-Plant the rows far anart and
thin out the plants in the rows thor
oughly. On land which will produce
from thirty-five to forty bushels of
corn the rows should be five feet apart
Even on poor soil it is doubtful if the
distance should ever be less than four
feet. -UA
Fourth.-There is no doubt that fer.
tlizers should be used in cotton grow
ing in Texas, not that the land is moor
but that earlier crops may be matured
