TESTIMONIAL FROA ABROAD
A Letter From Glasgow, Concerning
 Arizona's Wonderful Climate.

Following close upon the query re- ceiVed at the board of trade from Shef- field, England, comes one from Glas- gow, Scotland. Ia this one MT. Boyd Wilson says he has had occasion, out side of his business, which is that of constructing hreprOoing engineer, 10 investigate the climate of Arizona, and he expresses the opinion that mora publicity should be given it's curative effects. He writes:
 "One point struck me very forci5iy and as remained riveted in my mind ever since then. It was the extreme life giving nature of the air and cli- mate. I have mentioned it to many and recommended it in preference to South Africa or other places, on ac count of the swift healing action, wherever there has been a good ant strong constitution to begin with. What is wanted are strong financial men and capitalists to make your ter ritory, where it is perpetual spring and summer, known and resorted to by the best class of Englishmen and SCotchmen, both for health and pleas ure and the profitable investment of surplus capital, which can afford to await the development of the country. without waiting and hungerfng for an instant return on their capital. You have what might well be made the worlds health sanatOrium, and I do not think the central government at Washington makes enough of it or lets it be known as widely as it might be- especially in Britain. There is cer- tainly no place like 1t in the British dOminions, aye, or anywhere else for that matter"
 Mir. Wilson writes to get particulars about sending out the brother of n friend. who, he says. will prove an active and most useful citizen. and 1t may be the means of, l hope. great good to Arizona"

We presume most of our readers
know George Cosson, whose picture
is given above. He is the republican
candidate for county attorney. The
American people justly have admir-
alton for those who have taken up a
burden and have carried it success
fully along life's journey till success
has been achieved. George Cosson is
one of these. Listen to his life's story
He was born in Missouri twenty
nine years ago. When about seven
years old he came with his parents to
Manning. He attended school there
until he was about fourteen years old.
His father having died George had to
leave school at fourteen and assist in
the support of the family. He learn
ed telegraphy and became an operator
and station agent when just boy.
He followed this several years but
was very DESTROYS of obtaining more
education and saving up some money
he went to Val paraisO, Ind, to school
a year. Working awhile and going
to school awhile he then took the full
law course in the Iowa State Univer-
sity, graduating in 1898 and coming
to Audubon and starting in practice
in July of that year. Since then his
career has been well known to the
people of the county. Commencing
slowly, like all young lawyers have
to in a country town, his business has
gradually increased, until it can
truthfully be said he has attained
success. People trust him as law
yer who knows the law, who has the
skill to try case, who has the indus
try and application and who has the
good character and integrity to be
trusted with other peoples legal
business.
SO it comes, that George Cosson
has grown to the full stature required
for competent man to fill the county
attorneys Office. The republicans
evidently think so, for they nominal
ed him unanimously at the primary.
He has in past campaigns done good
work in speaking for the party in
school house and town meetings and
will make several speeches this fall.
He is a speaker of ability, is student,
is philosophical, is fair to his oppOn-
ent and reasonable in debate. He
should and will doubtless receive a
heavy vote at the polls.

Fighting the Boil Weevil

The war on the boil weevil has begun. The
$25O,OOO appropriated by Congress is now avail
able, and the authorities of the National Depart
ment Of Agriculture last week agreed Oh the fol
lowing lines of Investigations:
Farmers cooperative demonstration work.
This will involve the organization of farmers in
Texas and adjacent States in such a way to Sc
cure the cultivation of cotton under specific in
structions from the Department of Agriculture;
nus 4 definite working plan will be given to each
farmer, the farmer himself to furnish the seed
and fertilizers, if such are required. These areas
Ct cotton will serve as object lessons and will he
planned to show the practibility of growing cot
ton despite the presence of the wecvil. Similar
work will be carried on in Louisiana, where the
Weevll has not yet advanced. 1t is planned TO
have 5000 to 10000 farmers engaged in this
work.
Plans of breeding and selection of work This
work will nave for it's object the improvement of
present varieties of cotton, with a view of MAKING
them more prolific and earlier, SO as to prevent
the ravages Of the weevil.
The work will be conducted on exnorimon+
farms which will be selected with due respect to
climatic, soil and other conditions.
The foregoing work will be looked after bv tho
Bureau of Plant Industry.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-02-23

The Division of Entomology will continue its
Investigations OH experiment farms thirteen
farms for the growing of cotton will be located
in Texas. and the Investigations conducted Will
have for their object the determination OF numer-
ous oucstions relative to boil weevil which have
not vet been definitely settled. The question Of
the effect of fertilizers on the carly maturing
of cotton will be considered. It is planned that
thnso farms shall embrace about one hundred
acres each.
Investigation of parasite in the original home
of the wccvil will be made, the object being to
Introduce these parasites into Texas with the Sc
curinr of the destruction through them of the
boil wecvil.
Inspection of cotton products, their fumigatlon
and general expenses attending the certihcatlon
REQUIRED by State laws will be another line or
work conducted by the cntomologist.
Investigation into the life history and habits
of the wcevil and for the general testing OF per-
sons and machines. This work will be carried on
necessarily in the boil weevil infected districts.
Investigations of other diseases than the cot
ton boil weevil, including the destructive cotton
boil worm, which is one of the most serious pests
in a number of the Southern cotton-growing
States.
The organization of the work on the co-opcra-
tive demonstration farms has bceun under the

Composing Barnyard Manure.
CASTOR Co., n. @.

AT the station we purchase a good deal of
farm-yard manure. As this has to come from the
city where hay of good, bad and Indifferent quail
ity, and those containing many foul weeds are
fed, it becomes necessary for us to compost the
manure for three reasons. First, to reduce it so
it can be used in the manure spreader to the
best advantage; second, to break it down and
get it in condition where it will yield up it's plant
food most quickly, and third, to destroy the foul
weed seed.
There is serious objection to a good deal of the
manure offered for sale in many cities on &C
count of the shavings or sawdust used as bedding.
The source of the material is chiefly pine, though
occasionally those derived from hard woods are
used. The shavings and sawdust contain little
or no fertlllzlng constituents, and it takes a long
time to reduce them to available forms of plant
food. Manure containing a large amount Of
these substances is not worth half so much as
that where straw is used, as we have demonstrated
from our experiments here. In view of the large
and increasing amount of such substances used
as bedding, the matter is worth the attention of
the farmer, who probably does not realize the
amount of money he is paying for something
practically worthless as plant food.
In composing the manure, we first select u
level piece of ground as convenient to the field
where we propose to use the manure as possibel.
Owing to the fact that our prevailing soils are
heavy red clays, there is not much danger of the
plant food teaching into the soil, and so COM
paratively little is lost in that way. We prefer
to haul the manure in the winter time when work
Is slack and pile it in compact masses about ten
feet wide and six to eight feet high. With an
abundance of rainfall in the winter and spring,
there is little danger of the manure heating. In
fact, we have never been troubled with fre-fang
except once or twice in the summer.

Learn How Your Money Goes.
Editors Progressive Farmer:
I want to try to get some of She farmers to keep
a book account of their transactions this year.
You will not have to hire a bookkeeper or buy a
costly book. You can buv a book six by fourteen
inches-one that will last you three years-for
ten cents. Then get you a good lead pencil, and
put it in the book and lay it where you can put
your hand on it when you want it. Turn the first
leaf and write at the top of the left hand page:
February l, 19O4.-Money Received.
And at the top of the right-hand page:
February l, 19O4.-Money Paid Out.
Then write on those pages every five cents you
receive and pay out. Keep your lines of figures
straight down the page, and at the end of the
month draw a line and add up both pages and see
which is ahead.
You may think this a little trouble at first, but
you will soon find so much pleasure and profit in
it, that you will not quit it for anything. But,
you ask, where is the profit? Well, l will tell you.

Double Teams.

One thing the farmer at the South must come
to is the use of the double team. He can no
longer afford to use a single turning pillow to
break the land, nor a single shovel to bed with
or a single pillow to cultivate with. The two
horse pillow, the sulky cultivator, the mower have
become essentials for labor-saving on the farm
and the up-to-date farmer will double up his
teams and reduce his ~plowmen proportionately.

behind a one-horse plow.-Southern Farmer.

Hog and Hominy.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

For me and mine we raise hog and hominy
hrst, tobacco and cotton second. We killed this
winter nearly $3.50 worth of pork, and expect to
enlarge on that line this year. And the way /
do it! l succeed each early crop in my garden
with collards, from the primings of which 1 carry
my hogs principally through the summer. I give
my garden a good broadcasting of good home
made manure, then drill about 400 pounds guano
per acre. Then in the early fall I turn my hogs
on peanuts and COW peas. Then I only have to
round them two or three weeks with corn.
