jackson has established more than a
dozen demonstration farms to be oper

next year. He has just returned from

county during which he located several
farms in the vicinity of Utica and Ray

Ihese farms are to be titled by own
ers or tenants under the supervision
OF Mr.. Bainberge and his assistants
Dr. A. s. Knapp, and the principal OBJ
Ject OF their work will be to prepare
the farmers for campaign against the
boil weevil which, according to the
government experts. is absolutely Ger
tain to reach this state within the nexl
two years, probably during the ap
preaching crop year.
The government plan OF counteract
ing the boil weevil, as set forth BY
Mr. Ba1nberge, is the cultural method
blowing the cotton fields in the fall as
soon as the staple is gathered, and the
planting of varieties Of cotton that ma
ture the next year before the boil wee
vii has chance to get in his work. Ii
remains to be seen whether the boil
weevil will also move up his dates to
catch the farmer. This method mas
