MUST ATTEND SCHOOL.
The Compulsory School Attendance
Law Will Be Strictly
Enforced

The Grand Jury at the present ses-
sion of court instructed the county
superintendent to rigidly enforce the
compulsory school attendance law.
The act requires all children between
Z and "A years of age to attend
school during the year at least for
the period of three months. For vic
lation of this law there is a severe
penalty for the parent or guardian
in charge of the children.
In accordance with this instruction
County Superintendent j. Mel Gar
diner has notified the several school
boards of the county to begin prose
cution at once against those parents
and guardians who may refuse tc
comply with the law.

SIS 900 bail. 1t was not ready and she
remained in the U. S. MarshaPs office
while her attorney searched for
bondsmen. The hearing was posrpon-

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or gressiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The onlv
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat Of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, puriies the
complexion. 1t also cures consti-

THE CUTTON BOIL WORM.

Mexican cotton boil weevil as an enc
my to cotton is the cotton boil worm.
This insect has long been known as de-
structive in Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana and in 1879 had
become the principal insect enemy of
cotton in Texas Nevertheless little if
any effort has been made by plant
ers during the many years of boil
worm injury to check it's ravages,
and along with increased cultivation of
cotton from year to year, often to the
exclusion of any other crops, the losses
from this insect have tended to in
crease, and the injury during the past
two or three years in Texas has been
notable
Aside, in fact, from certain isolated
localities here and there in the great
cotton belt, bollworm injury during
1908 appears to have been confined
mostly to Texas and the southern
part Of the Indian Territory The
most serious injuries III Texas were
in the northern and central counties of
the eastern portion of the state, the
loss in each county being estimated at
from 20 to 60 per cent of the crop.
The ravaged district includes the prin-
cipal cotton producing area Of the
state, from which came in 1902 APP
proximately three-fourths Of the cot
ton crop of the state. 1t is hard to ar
rive at even an approximate estimate
OF the loss, but conservative view by
8 special agent in charge of cotton
boil worm Investigations places it at
10000 bales for 1908, which, at valu-
alton of $50 per bale, would mean a
loss of $4,500,000. Add to this the
value of the cotton seed, and the total
loss would easily exceed $5,000000.
The bOllworm has worldwide dis
tribution. 1t need hardly be explained
that the larva known variously as the
bud worm of corn, the tassel worm,
corn ear worm and tomato fruit worm
is identical with the cotton boil worm.
BollwOrm eggs may be easily detected
with the unaided eye on the fresh silk
Of corn. AS the larvae grow a remark

DRAINAGE BY WELLS.

meath the saturated soil. The wells
consist of curb boxes twelve inches in
diameter made with eight sides from
boards an inch thick. They are sunk
from eight to twelve feet deep, the eX-
cavations being made with large au-
ger. The wells have underdrain out
lets about three feet deep leading to a
surface ditch The water rises at once
in these wells to the height of the out
let provided and flows away. The soil,
which is about five feet deep, is under
laid with gravel which through the
process of seepage from higher lands
has become Surcharged with water
which by reason of constant pressure
and continual supply from land occu-
plying a higher level saturateS. the soil
above the gravel. These wells, put in
at various points where water appear
ed, reclaimed at small cost a field
which had been given over to grazing
on account Of saturation and alkah.
This method of draining is regarded
as highly successful by the farmers of
the vicinity who have witnessed the
reclamation of the land SO treated. The
individual we'll and drain as used in
the work described are shown in the
first figure. The method is simple. It's
efficiency consists in relieving the pres
sure of the underground water at such
q depth that it will not continue to
force itself upward against the soil and
also in removing such a quantity that
the gravel stratum underlying the
tract will provide for the remainder.
Drains upon another plan have been
used by J. Hetzel and others in the vi
cinity Of LOngmont, Colo. A continu
Gus line Of underdrains is laid cross
wise Of the slope along the upper bor-
der of the lands showing seepage.
These drains are laid five feet deep,
which is regarded as necessary to their
success. The SubSoil is adobe clay, in
which pockets of sand are encountered
which interfere with the laying of the
drains. The method Of location is
shown in the second figure. The drains
are made of one inch boards in the
form of continuous box 6 by inches
in the inside, with no bottom. These
drains complete cost about 81 per rod.
1T is not uncommon in this vicinity to
find one drain located in this manner
intercepting sufficient water to reclaim
forty to eighty acres of land where the
soil is Of stiff nature. Where soils
are open and admit of very free perco-
latiOn of water the same plan is ap-
pl1cable, but the size of drains must be
increased. The quantity Of water
which it is necessary to intercept is
greater than is usually suspected, and
some failures to obtain good results
are probably owing to the fact that the
drains are too small. Shallow drains
do not accomplish the result, nor do
drains laid up and down the slope, as
fully and cheaply as those laid across.
Where drains are laid in wet land It's
unstable condition and water bearing
sand pockets often make it impractical
