men shouted "He didn't touch first

Bill did, as all the fans will make

1t isn't right to murder an UNI

Carney, quite surprisingly, didn't
fall upon and chastise him, prob
ably having been taught lesson
by Pres. W. H. Lucas, who canned
him for a period and fined him $50
for soaking Umpire kloff in the
mush.
Everybody was inclined to argue
the point. but the decision was
made for good.
The game all through was per-

any the best Of 1t up to the close

Irvine Jensen all in. He was too
tired even to wind up any more,
but pitched from half COCK. Butte

knew he was in and that the
bell was rung on him, but trusted

scoring that inning and his sup

looked like he was going to pull the
Mormon out, and then seemed to
want to take chance with him. 1t
was poor headwork and an unlucky
thing for the team. After that the
Miners all slammed the ball and
scored 6 runs. Jensen have only
4 hits In that inning, but passed l

stay and gave the game away.

There seems to be little doubt of the
enactment of this measure, as there is
no opposition to it from the agricultur-
al members of ihe House, nor the
fertilizer interests.
OF course, it is recognized on all
hands that the farmer pays the bill for
fertilizer inspection. The price of in
spection is included in his bill for fer
tilizers.
The amount paid by each is small,

expense of inspection will not be
increased.
1t is estimated that at 25 cents ton
fertilizer inspection will pay gross re-
ceipts of about 100000.
The expense is about $4,000, hence
the agricultural schools will approxi-
mate $l65, 600, as against about one
third the amount at present. This
would give each of the district schools
$4,000 annually instead of about
$4,000 which is all they will receive
under the present fees.
There is ahead of them promise of an
excellent maintenance fund.
There has been some talk of increas-

fertilizers, though the present action
may be confined to the straight manu-
factured product.

given the reservoirs, and particularly
the standpipe at the city hall, and
these should be cleaned out frequently.
A month or two ago, while fever pre-
vailed in every portion of the city, the
standpipe was investigated and a
wagon load of muck and mud found
upon the bottom. This was cleaned
out, and soon thereafter a diminution
in the number of fever cases was OBJ

fresh water Americus will continue

COTTON CROP WAS NEVER BETTER

With the finest cotton crop they have
made in years, and selling perhaps at
Is cents, the farmers of Sumter county,
at least, haye nothing to fear from hard
times as the result of prohibition and
decreased revenues. The cotton crop
in this section of the state, according to
those who have Travelled over the
various sections is fine. The seasons
have been admirable and cotton and
corn have developed phenomenally for
the past two months. The result is
that the outlook was never brighter at
this season OF the year. OF course, it is
not too late for backset, but the farm
ers are rejoicing over the prospects at

WHEN STALK Is BURNED
THE PEST is KILLED
Boil WeeviI Thus EIimina-
ted.
EXPERIMENTS MADE IN TEXAS
By Burning Cotton Stalks After
Frost The Boil WeeViI is EIimi-
mated to a Very Great
Extent.
EXPERIMENTS MADE IN TEXAS

Washington, D. c., July l5.-Ac
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture it has been con
sidered by many that the destruction
of cotton stalks after killing frosts was
of little value in the control of the Dol.
weevil. All observers have agreed
that this process is of a paramount
value before that time. Recent data
show clearly that the destruction oi
the stalks after several severe frosts
is of great value; in fact it is appar-
emily only slightly less ef1icacious
than earlier destruction.
At Dallas, Tex, the first killing
frost in the fall of 1906 occurred on the
night of November 49, On the follow
ing day careful estimate of the num-
I Der of weevils per acre on a 60-acre ex-
perimental plantation as made.
In different portious of the field 81
plants were examined and calculations
were made on the basis of $500 plants
per acre-probably not far from the
usual number in Texas. From the
50 plants examined 29 live weevils
were taken, indicating the presence OF
6,477 live weevils per acre.
On November % another examination
gave an estimated number of 6, 4O9
weevils per acre.
An additional examination was made
on December ! after many heavy
frosts. At this time IA alternating
weevils were taken from SO plants, in
dicating that 1926 weevils per acre
were present in the field. Examina-
tions of the remains of bells on plants
on November 20 revealed 90 adult
weevils in 1926 bolls; that is. per cent
of the bolls selected at random in the
field protected weevils.
On December 8th, eight hibernating
adults were found In the examination
of 100 bolls.
From the above data it is evident
that farmer may control the number
of weevils to very considerable extent
by the fall destruction Of the stalks
even very late in the season. The adj
vantage of early destruction of the
stalks, when possible, was shown by an
examination ON November Is, before
the first killing frost occurred. AT this
time the leaf rubbish on the ground re-
vealed adult weevils at the rate Of 1,056
per acre.
After the first killing frost similar
examination gave 2,844 weevils per
acre. The frost had forced Large num-
bers of weevils from the plants to the
protection afforded on the ground. The
very great advantage the farmer may
obtain by removing from the field and
burning at the earliest possible date all
debris which favors the Information of
the weevil is evident.
