UNCLE SANS WARFARE ON BOIL WEEVI=
THERE IS NO HOPE OF DESTROYING THE
PEST OR PREVENTING ITS SPRFAD

great reason now for continued wor1,
10 perfect some method that will en-
able the farmers in the newly infect
ed area to control and cone with tbic
pest. In fact, the need for research
and continued experiments now is
even more pronounced than il has
been heretofore.
Entire Fields Wiped Ont

any system that will obviate the ne
cessity for destroying fields of cot
ton absolutely when infected Tho
crop in these fields must be rooted
out, burned and destroyed and even
then the weevil may fly away and
be carried in the smoke and by the
winds to fields distant as much as
ten miles from the field first infested.
sometimes, however, we are able
to root out the weevil in this man.
ner and avert the spread of the in
lection in that district the next year
THE experiments with the Guata-
malan ant have not proven success
full. These insects which it was
hoped would devour and destroy the
boil weevil could not be acclimated,
and were not able to reproduce their
species fast enough to be of service.
"The boil weevil is not within ten
miles of the Mississippi river. 1t can
only be spread by flying, but by this
means it covers sometimes sixty
miles intervening between cotton
fields.
THE general impression that the
weevil is spread by being carried in
cotton seed is erroneous. If this
were true, the weevil would now ex-
tend over the entire cotton belt"
In concluding his report Mr.. Hun
ter acknowledged that it does not
seem to be humanity possible to Grad
icate the weevil or prevent it's furth-
err spread. The most he hopes to do
with the means now at hand is to
mitigate the damage caused by the
pest.

Scarcity of Labor Suspends Opera
lions in Sumter.

tiOnS i'm Sumter.
Scarcity of farm labor is greater
here this season than ever before
known, and many farms in Sumter
county are being operated with great
ly reduced force this year. This COM
plant is general here, and the result
will be a curtailment of farming OPP
erations, as plows cannot be run
without labor and farmers will not
pitch crop that cannot be Guilt
waited. 1t is said that on one fine
farm near Americas, usually operat-
ing ten or a dozen plows, there is
not single laborer-a condition
never before known in the history
of the county, and there are others
where labor conditions are almost as
bad. The prospect is certainly dis
couraging, to say the least.-Ameri-

NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
Healing Medication That Is Breathed,
Giving Quick Relief.

Giving Quick Relief.
The fact that many people right
in Dawson cough and hawk and
shuttle for days and weeks after they
have been treating a cold with usual
stomach dosing shows how valueless
are the ordinary cough and cold
cures.
The right way to cure a cold in
the head, or a cough and irritation
in the bronchial tubes, is by breath
ing Hyomeis medicated air from the
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit Take a few breaths
in this way, and immediate relief
will be noted. The medication goes
right to the spot where the disease
germs are and renders them harm
less.
Dawson Drug Co. and Peoples
Drug Store give an absolute guaran-
tee with every Hyomei outfit they
sell that If it does not give satisfac-
ton the money will be refunded.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00, while extra bottles of
Hyomei, if needed, can be obtained
for only soc.

Nearly All of Newfoundland Is on
Prohibitory Basis.

APasNAos
Newfoundland has the reputation
and deserves it of being the most
sober country in the world. Outside
st, Johns, the capital, with 10000
people, and the adjacent districts,
with 10000 more, there is not a set
tlement in the island wherein intoxi-
eating liquors are legally sold. The
temperance laws are enforced with
extraordinary strictness and the pen
alties are severe enough to deter any
put the most reckless from violating
them.
Thus, to sell liquor in a prohibited
settlement involves a fine of $500
for each offense, while the convict
ing magistrate advertises the fact in
the st. Johns papers and any dealer
there who afterward sells liquors in
any quantity to such convicted per-
son is himself liable to a fine of
$500. Even in st. Johns the laws
regulating the saloons are most rig
idly enforced. These places are open
from a. m. to 10 p. m. between
April l and December l and from
Z a. m. to p. m. between January
l and March 81, because during
these months, with frost and snow
frequent, accidents are more likely
to occur than at other times.

The boil WeeF1l lh'OoClSoClOhS pe-
conducted by the department of
.,onlture at Washington were re-
,.uod in an interesting talk made
'nfore the house committee on agri-
,,+,,re by w. D. Hunter of the bu-
an of entomology at the hearing
few days ago.
Afr Hunter has been engaged in

&c we're located at Victoria, but
shont two years ago they were

Mr.. Hunter said;
system of Weevil Warfare.
curing the time we have been at
u.ork in Texas we have evolved
onItnral system of fighting the boil
n,onvil that has been taken up by the
farmers of that section and found to
he in general, very effective. The
climatic conditions, which vary from
wear to year, have very serious
effect upon our work. For instance,
orr cultural method has been very
successful in dry years, whereas in
year where there is unusual pre-
Imitation it fails to bring such good
results.
"The situation as it affects Texas
is not discouraging. AS to the pos
sibilitfes of restricting the spread of
the weevil to other southern states
we are not so hopeful. The large
crops made by Texas the past two
Years Indicate about what may be
eypected from that state in the way
Of cotton production despite boil Wee
vii ravages. At the same time, it.
mist be remembered that the past
two wears have been exceptionally
unfavorable ones for the boil Wee
vii. These years have been off years
for the boil weevil.
No Cessation of the Pest.
Next year under different climatic
conditions there will probably be as
much damage wrought as ever in the
past. So far as the future is con-
cerned we are not very optimistic
about the prospect in the eastern
part of the cotton belt. In Missis-
sippi and the other states to the east
there is a great deal larger annual
rainfall than in Texas and moisture
is a great factor in helping to repro
duce the boil weevil. The greatest
damage in Texas has been accom-
plished during years where the
weather conditions were largely
those that prevail normally in the
east.
AS the weevil is spreading to sec
tons having greater precipitation
the outlook is for even greater dam
age there proportionally than has
been wrought in Texas. We, there
fore, consider the danger ahead OF
US to be greater than that which
has been met in the past. There IS

dependent of Japan.
A camphor farm is being estab-
lished at Floresville, Tex, under the
auspices of the bureau of plant in
dustry of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The govern
ment already has a large camphor
governmental farm in operation near
Wharton. Tex. 1t is believed by Dr.
w 7 Watkins, who is in charge of
the experiments in Texas, that the
new industry has wonderful possible
ties and that the time is not far dis
tant when Texas will be one of the
greatest camphor producing regions
in the world. That title is held by
the Island of Formosa, which is now
under the control of the Japanese
government. The worlds supply of
camphor now practically comes from
Formosa.
The demand for camphor has in
creased to such an extent in the last
few wears that the attention of not
only the United States government,
hut Of all of the leading foreign
has been attracted to
tho product, and they are making
efforts to open up a new source Of
the supply.
