DEATH TO WFEvILS f
fSAYSlA JACKSON MAN
Has a Poison That is Placed
With Seed and Gets the Bug
for Sure.

!; S. E. Fleming. a Jackson man.,
claims to have discovered a rem
edy" that is certain death and
destruction to the boil weeviL
Mr.. Fleming has lived several
years in Texas, and has made the
Weevil a study. He has discov-
cred that poison placed on stalk
has no effect on the pests, but
has been IN correspondence with
his brother, who is a Texas far
mer for several years, and be-
tween them they have arranged
a poison that gets them every
time.
This poison is placed with the
seed in the spring of the year,
and when the Weevil tackles the
plant in the summer time the
poison gets in its work.
He states that he first discov-
cred this sure death in fields that
were oyelTun with the army and
boil worm. The poison got in it's
work on the pests if placed in the
ground with the seed, and he is
convinced that poison for the
boil weevil will be eradicated in
the same way. Asa matter of
fact there are no boil weevils on
Mr.. Jennings farm in Texas.
They have simply been eradica-
ted by the plan outlined, and all
Mr.. Fleming needs is cash to
push the poison. Clarion Ledger

Leading Nations import Much
Lumber.

Few people have the slightest
conception just how important a
part timber and manufactured
wood play in the trade between
the worlds great nations, and
doubtless it is news to
many to learn that the lumber
importations of the various coun-
tries amount to 1885, 600, 600.
This is according to estimates for
the whole world compiled by DIR.
Ernest Friedrich, of the German
commercial high school at Leip-
zig.
Notwithstanding the fact that
it finds its own supply dwindling,
the United States furnishes about
20 per cent of the lumber impor-
ted by other countries. Austria
Hungary furnishes 10 per cent,
Russia 16 per cent, Canada Is
per cent, Sweden Is per cent,
Finland 10 per cent, and Norway
and Roumania a small quantity.
The countries importing wood
are those on the highest econom-
|ical plane, which were themselves
in earlier times densely wooded,
but whose forests have been de-
nuded to a greater or less extent
to make room for agricultural and
other industries, says Vice-Con-
sui James L. A. Burrell; of Mad
geburg, in a report to this gov
eminent. Only 4 per cent of the
territory Of Great Britain is COW
cred with forests, and during the
year 1906 that country imported
lumber to the value of S135, $751;
$50. Germany has still 9B per
cent Iof it's territory covered by
forests, but imported in 1906 lum-
Der valued at S6l,2S5,0O0. Bel
GUM and the Netherlands, that
have but s per cent forest lands
Denmark, that hast per cent,
France and Switzerland, with a
small percentage, are compelled
to import lumber. - -
Besides these countries, those
lands lying on the dry western
| side pf the sub-tropical zone lack
ling forests are forced to import
wood. Egypt imports wood and
coal to the value of about S16,-
$50, COO annually; Algeria. Tunis,
ISpain, Portugal with only 8 per
cent forest land, } Italy, Greece
with 9 per cent forest land, the
eastern part of Asia, British
ISouth Africa, the ! western part
of Chile and Peru. the Argentine
Republic, and Australia, all poor
/ in wood, are dependent upon i'm

Jim Hills Bad News.

James j. Hill, head of the
Great Northern Railway arrived
in New York last Thursday from
a trip through the northwest and
unloaded some political news
about that region which was not
calculated to make the republican
heart Ethrob with joy. Indeed
the New York Sun is the author
ity for the statement which he
told the cocksure citizens of
Manhattan some things that sur
prised and panied them.
He said that the farmers
throughout the west had never
paid much attention to Bryan un-
til the last year or two, but that
just now there is very strong
Bryan sentiment among them.
Therefore the democratic vote
in the west would be much
larger this year than ever before,
and if the republican managers
did not put in the hardest kind
of work Mr.. Taft would be de-
feated. Mr.. Hill did not hest
tate to say that political con-
ditions from the republican point
of view were not at all promis-,
ing, that the democratic leaders
were keenly alive to the posi-
bilities and unless something was
quickly done to. offset their work.
they would carry a number of
states in the west that have here
tofore been considered safely re-
publican.
He noted the fact that there
seems to be a conspicuous lack
of enthusiasm among the repub-
llican rank and file and argued
from this that if the weather is.
bad on election day this year.
the percentage of stay at home
republicans would be large, and
the count of the ballots in the
western states would result in
great surprises.
But the lack of enthusiasm
among the republicans does not
appear to be confined to those Of
the west 1t is evidenced else
where, even in Massachusetts,
where General VIM. f. Draper,
a wealthy manufacturer, former
congressman and ambassador to
Italy under Mckinley, is not con
tributing his voice or his ducats
to the success Of the republican
campaign. In an interview with
a Boston Post reporter he said:
In reply to your inquiry as to
whether | have bolted Mr.. Taft S
nomination | can say / have
never been committed to it. I
do not believe in the so-called
Roosevelt policies, which Mr..
Taft Endorses. In fact, being
conservative by nature, I am not
interested in the success of either
party at the coming election. /
have the highest respect for Mr..
Taft as aInan, but I do1iot agree
with his political views. 4
There is little reason TO doubt
that there many other prominent
republicans In the east who
think and feel like General
Draper, hence there is NO reason
to believe that these men will
