by proiting by their experience,
can also fight him successfully
and rails cotton in spite of him
But his presence means a de-
cided change in past methods of
cultivation. The old ways will
not suffice with the boil weevil to
contend with, but a course of
cultivation must be pursued
with two prime objects in view:
to starve out and thus DESTROY as
many weeviis as possible in the
fall previous to the ALTERNATING
period; and second, to raise an
early maturing cotton to antici-
pate the development Of the
weevil which is greatest during
the hot weather.
How to best accomplish these
two purposes we must learn
from State and Federal experts
who have been constantly watch
ing and assisting in the fight
against the weevil, and from the
experience of farmers who have
already successfully met and
overcome the weevii.
With the purpose in view to
get all the information possible
on the best methods to be used
against the weevil, organizations
are now being formed in all the
wards. With these organizations
effective through thorough co.
operation by the farmers, the
successful raising of cotton in
this parish is assured.

TheStage

A large audience was present
at the Jefferson Theatre Monday
night at the opening of the
season to witness the preSenta-
ton of Under Southern Skies"
The play VIZ well rendered by
"A capable company and the
pleasure of the audience was
testified by frequent applause.
The scene of the play is laid in
Southern Louisiana in 1875 and
the play consists of four acts.
The first act is rather poor, but
the others grow in interest until
the last which winds up very
satisfactorily.

of Leila CrOfton was excellent
and proved her to be possessed
of a high degree of histronic
talent. Geo. Manning made a
very satisfactory Maj. Crofton

of pleasure to it's patrons, was

are sure this announcement will
be heard with great regret by
all patrons of the theatre.
