wEEvL TO CROSS THE RIVER

The prediction that the cotton
weeyn may cross the Mississippi
in 1905 in it's eastward march is a
matter of great consequence not
only to the cotton growers, but to
the entire country. The insect
crossed the Rio Grande from Mex
leo many years ago, and invaded 7
Texas. Moving eastward, it got
to the Sabine river few years ago,
and crossed into Louisiana. Since
then it has marched nearly to the
Mississippi, and experts predict
that by the end of this season 1t
will have crossed the big river.
Hitherto most of the weeviPs
ravages have been confined to Tex
as. That state produces a quanti
ty ranging between a third and
fourth of the entire country's total
output.
The destruction every year prob
ably amounts to tens of thousands
of bales, but in Texas big produc-
ton, which was considerably over
3, 900, 900 bales in 1904, the loss is
hardly felt. Louisiana produces
between 100000 and 100000
bales year, and thus stands well
up on the roll of cotton growing
states, and she has had a hard bat
tie with the pest in recent times.
From indications, Mississippi
will be invaded in 1906, and then
the area of the weevil's ravages
will be enlarged.
A little more than half of the
country's cotton product is grown
| east of the big river. The center
of the cotton output in 1900 was
close to Canton, Miss, and was
moving westward. Probably the
center is very near the bank of the
Mississippi by this time. The re-
cent growth in production in Tex
as, Arkansas, the Indian Territory
and Oklahoma is pulling the focal
point sunsetward. 1t will prob
ably have crossed the river before
the year 1910.
Cotton production is a vast ac-
tivity. This country grows three
fourths of the worlds entire yield.
The chances for increasing the pro
duction to a point in excess of the
recent 13, 900, O00-b bale crop are pos
sible. The government and the
states directly concerned are try
ing several sorts of devices to
check the expansion and destruct-
iveness of the insect, but thus far
they have not met entire success.
The crossing of the Mississippi by
this invader will give it new in
terest, and incite further steps for
its destruction.

Taking Desperate Chances.

II if true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any pIecaution or treatment, and a
knowle dge of the fact leads others to
take their chances instead of CRYING
their colds the needed attention. 1t
should bs borne in mind that every
cold weakens the Inngs, lowers the vi
tality, makes the system less able to
withstand each succeeding cold and
paves the way for more serious diseases.
Can you afford to take such chances
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
famous for its cures of colds, can be
had for a trifit? For sale by all drug
gists.
