HAVOC RAISED BY
THE BOIL WEEVIL
E. D. SMITH REPORTS UPON
CONDITIONS IN WEST.
Advises Farmers to Hold-Says Is
Gents Is Least Farmers in South
west Will Consider.
TO the Editor Of The State:

10 Cne Ed1tOr OF The State:
On August 10th I left South Car
ohna for tour Of the western cotton
states. There has been and is con-
siderable speculation as to the proba-
BILE yield of this crop.
My opportunity for observation
and information as to Mississippi
was limited. I will visit that state
during the early part of September.
The Louisiana crop is certainly ex-
tremely short. From Vicksburg I'M
mcdiately on the Mississippi river for
several miles in the interior the crop
is practically complete failure. From
the Ouehiata river to the Red river
the crop will average 80 per cent. of
a normal yield. From Shreveport to
Alexandria the boil weevil has des-
troyed the crop up and down The Red
River val'ey-thc most fertile region
in Louisiana. There are tens of thou
sands of acres that arc abandoned :;
not Il seed planted, and other thous-
ands planted and abandoned and the
balance making very little. wish
those who are disposed to think the
weevil does little harm could see the
work OF destruction he has caused in
Louisiana.
In Texas the weevil and drought
have put beyond possibility anything
like an average yield.
The people of Louisiana and Texas
won't talk of anything less than Is
cents per pound FOR this crop. Judg-
ing by the size of the audiences and
the character and occupations of the
men composing them, 7 think it safe
to predict that there will be terrific
fight for Is cents if the buyers seem
disposed seriously to oppose it.
The conditions here are very much
like those that obtained in the states
east of the Mississippi last year. Last
year we had poor crops and these
Western States good ones. The pri-
ceS were good-fine indeed for these
states that made the larger yields and
the result of their fine crops and
big prices was an almost unlimited
extension Of credit. Now the terrible
crop failure puts bankers and mer-
chants who extended credit to the
planter in the same boat with the
planter. For if there is not a bic
price obtained they stand to lose
their advances; so there is very un-
animous sentiment among planters
and business men for Is cents cot
ton. Of course it all depends on the
wisdom of the owners and their abil-
ity to exercise their wisdom as to
whather the crop will bring this price
or not.
Ole of the worst features of the
crop outlook is the poor cora crop

1864. during the assault which was
rcpulsed, and both armies sat down

lasted from June. 1864. to April, 1865

In Memorium.

Lucy Ann Smith, whose maiden
name was Williams, was born in Call
away County, Missouri, April 18th,
1881, and died in Kansas City Miss
ouri, April 18th, 1907.
When a girl IL years old her father
moved to Morgan County, and at the
age OF % she married Mr.. John l..
Smith Of Usage, County, where they
took up their residence, and lived
until Mr.. Smiths death in 1887.
At the time of her death Mrs.
Smiths home was with her daughter,
Mrs. Georgia Andrist in Kansas City.
The cemetery in Morgan County,
on the farm Of Mr.. Hardin Williams
"a nephew OF Mrs. Smith) three
miles from Slower, and formerly own
ed by Mrs. Smiths father, was
chosen by her as her final resting
place. This sacred acre was dedica-
ted for cemetery purposes by Mrs.
Smiths father and his numerous fam
lily, and here Mrs. Smith vas laid to
rest where her mother and father
sleeps, and near the little Methodist
Church, of which she was a member
the major portion OF her life. In
this church the funeral service was
conducted by Rev. &. J. P~olston, Of
Versailles, or Tuesday afternoon,
April 18th, and besides the many
relatives and friends living in this
County, there was present her only
living brother, and sole survivor Of
her fathers family Of 10 children,
MI. Boyd Williams, Of Sedalia Mo-,
her daughter, Mrs. Alice Pine of
Coulterville, California, and another
daughter, Mrs. Anne NJ. Clay, who
with her husband, Mr.. Perry A. Clay,
came from Denver, Colorado.
Mrs. Lucy Ann Smith was much
beloved. The kindlincss of her life
was a bcnediction to all who knew
her, ann her end was as gentle and
peaceful as the April snow that fell in
leecy Wilderness upon her grave.
And rs she looked around. she saw how Death,

Heating for Young Chicks.

The proper heat for chicks is of the
greatest importance. We suffer just as
much If too warm as we do If too cold;
40 do the chicks. Too much heat will
kill the chicks and 50 will too much cold.
The person who will get up at night TO
change the heat when the weather sud.
denly changes, is the one who will raise
the chicks. The other party will wonder
why the chicks die of 50 rapidly.
When my chicks are first matched !
keep the temperature at 90 degrees and
continue to do so for a week or ten
days, but keep coaxing the chicks out to
An adjoining space to scratch and ex-
ercise and hustle for their food. After
this time ! can lower the heat gradually
aud still keep the chicks comfortable.
lowering, perhaps. q half degree or more
daily. depending upon their health,
strength and feathering, also their gen
eral feeling for warmth. This will de
pend very much upon the heat Of their
scratching pen aud the temperature out
Of doors. II the chicks crowd - the
warmest part Of the brooder and pile up,
it Is an indication of too low a ten,pera-
turc. II the chichs open their mouths
and pant they are too WARM. There IS
no regulation known that will give a
good indication as 10 the comfort Of the
chicks like the chicks themselves.
Their actions will tell whether they are
tao cold or too hot. A strong. vigorous
chick will live II you will let Il.
Much has been written IN growing

watchfulness may overcome some Of
these dangers. but you canno always he
on hand when needed.
A good brooder is harder to find than
a good incubator. yet the broodcr ques.
ton does not get half the attention it
deserves. To avoid bowel trouble (tlii,
disease takes away 50 per cent Of all the
chicks Matched in this country we need
regularity Of heat. My own experience
taught uie the favorable conditions nec-
essary TO raise brooder chicks. In my
early experience 1 set my incuba-

had 500 little chicks. racked my brain
as TO the best place for them. fnally
moved everything out of All upstair room,
the room below being used AS "a sitting
room, so the floor Of the upper room WAS
always warm. l placed my brooders in
the upstairs room, also put a small stove
in the room, made little pens in front Of
each brooder tor the chicks to scratch III,
started a fire in the stove, blew out the
brooder lamps until night, and there !
made them work all day. 1 put plenty
Of chaff on the floor, also sand and every
thing was kept scrupuiously clean. /
fed them oat meal ard ground rice scat
tered in the chaff. keeping them a little
hungry at all times. This induces them
TO keep active in search of food, making
them exercise, which is essential to
promote strong growth. This keeps
them coutented and happy, and a con-
tented chick is a growing one. Regular
ity establishes best health and habits.
As long as the chicks scratch they are
safe aud not overfed.
After the chicks commence to feather
out they can ie fGi cracked grain.
| Boiled wheat is one Of the best growing
feeds. Have clean quarters. fresh air,
sunlight, shade. sand to wallow in, cleai,
water to drink, plenty Of grit and you
will raise good, strong chicks. Your
success will depend largely OH how mucl,
