It is said that this diversification
and reduced acreage proposition is
like the priest and his wine. On a
certain day priest told his flock
that his wine was about out. and
that during the following week he de-
sired contributions; that he would
place "A barrel with a funnel in it and
each member could bring a bottle Of
wine, empty it in the funnel and take
the bottle back home. Pretty soon
the poor man found his barrell run

door cage, made OF ordinary wire
cloth or screening, the boil weevils
that emerge will be confined and
will finally die of starvation. The
little parasites that escape from
the squares, can however escape
through the meshes OF the wire
cloth and will return to the cotton
fields. This is a very important
item and the farmers now have an
opportunity to aid the Commission
and the Bureau of Entomology in
their efforts to increase the natural
enemies of the boil weevil. There
fore put mp the gathered squares
in screen cages if you can possibly
take the time to do SO, and burn
them only as a last resort Of
course it is better to burn them
than to allow weevils to escape.
The price and availability of
labor are two important things
to be taken into consideration in
deciding whether this plan of
gathering the infested squares will
be profitable on any particular
farm. One to two dollars day
for adult laborers to do this work
is most too high, but il white or
negro children can be employed at
a low price to gather the squares
there is little doubt of its proving
profitable.
There will of course come time
probably in early August, when
the squares will fall too fast to per-
NIT further profit from gathering
them. The writer's opinion is that
on most farms the gathering Of
squares can be continued with
profit until the last week in July.

while almost at the same time he
was in the confidence of the lead

Miners, and led by Mr.. Richard
son, Orchard stated that he was
hired by Meyer or the Federation
to act as his guard against things
alleged TO have been hired by the
mine owners to attack and terror
ize him.
At the close of Orchards cross
examination the state will take him
in hand for the redirect and then
will come the re-cross-examination.
1t seems hardly probable that ne
would be discharged before the
end OF next week. He may be re-
called afterward as the case pro-
ceeds. The warden at the peniten-
tiary says that Orchard shows no
sign of nervousness. or strain. He
eats well and speaks without par
ticular emotion of the events OF
the day.
One Of the interesting features
of one days examination was the
4 development of the fact that Orch
ard since being confined has re-
ceived letters from his first wife
whom he deserted IN Canada IL

locket and chain consisted of a
fishing rod, gun, and revolver, to-
gether with some other little
things. He said that the warden
had disposed of these for him with
the understanding that the person
could have them after the trial.
Orchard said that the warden
told him that he had received part
of this money from Governor
Gooding. 1t is possible that the
governor may be called on as
witness to explain the transaction.
The pure food law is uncovering
some queer impositions. For in

FIGHT the W66vll
Bu DESTROYING the Infested Cotton
Squares.

means by which he may protect
his cotton crop, already severely
handicapped by the bad season,
against the attacks of the boil
weevil.
The present article is intended
to call the farmers attention 10 a
method of fighting the boil weevil
which was quite extensively prac-
ticed in Texas a few years ago and
which, under the present peculiar
seasonal conditions in Louisiana,
we believe to be of value.
This plan consists in gathering
up the fallen infested squares in
the cotton fields once every seven
or eight days and burning them,
or combining them so the weevils
that hatch from them cannot es-
cape. Many Texas farmers re-
ported increased yields by using
this method, but in the past we
have hesitated about recommend
ing it to the Louisiana planters
because of its expense on account
of plantation labor in this State
being SO scarce and high. We
have preferred, in the normal sea-
son, to pin our faith exclusively
to the cultural methods and to the
making of a crop ahead of the
weeyils. An early crop the pres
ent season is out of the question;
the farmer already has his money
invested in the seed, fertilizer and
first civilizations, and if his crop
be abandoned now or turned over
to the boil weeyils, which is about
the same thing, everything invest
ed will be lost. On the other hand
if he can go to a little more trou-
BILE in protecting his crop against
the weevils, the partial crop made
will lessen his loss by that much.
Hence we believe tie present cir
cumstances are such as to justify
the planters in adopting the plan
of picking up the infested squares,
The adult weevils which hiber-
mated through the winter are now
dying off very rapidly, and in the
latter part of this month and early
in July adult boil weevils will bs
much scarcer than they are now
The planter should not let this lnl
him into false sense of security
or iuto the belief that the Dol
weevils are disappearing. 1t vii
be nothing more than the periot
during which hundreds of thou
sands of young weevils will be de
veloping in the fallen squares, t
result in the "frst summer brood
of adult weevils about the middle
of July. 1t is this summer broo'
of which the planter il in creates
danger, for if this brood be abund
ant enough to destroy all square
as fast as formed all chance O
making crop will be gone.
Our advice to the planters is t
begin, as soon as most of the plant
are squaring, picking up the falle
squares each week and either burn
ing them or enclosing them in
tight wire cloth cage, preferabl
the latter. We have found ths
there are good many little wasE
Ike parasites attacking the weevil
in different parts of the State, an
the farmer should do everythin
he can to encourage the increas
OF these parasites, as they are MOI
important and valuable allies
the fight. If the gathered square
be burned up, the parasites whic
are developing within them WI
also be destroyed. What we wal
to do is to destroy the boil weevi
which hatch from the squares, al
at the same time allow the par
sites that are in along with the

FRED MACK SAYS

People owning pianos do not realize
how important it is to have them
taken care of properly to properly
tune a piano is the life itself of any
instrument; to know what to do in
an emergency is important. Children
taking lessons and practcing on a
piano not well tuned become SO ac-
customed to imperfect harmony that
they grow to be unable to tell a har-
mony from discord. You might eX-
pect blacksmith to put handspring

tune your piano. 1t takes more than
study to become an expert tuner, it
takes practice and as practice makes
perfect, the larger the better. Fred
