Panic Worse Than Boil Weevil.

The boil weevil is here, we all
know that, but unreasoning pan
ic is a far worse foe. We have
undergone hardships and disas-
ters in the past, we will meet
them in the future, and now
when we are face to face with
this dread enemy we know we
will prove the victor. Distress
will fall upon many OF US, but we
will emerge the stronger. Our
fathers were forced to abandon
the culture of indigo because OF
depreciation of insect pests, and
turned their attention to cotton
Up to that time little progress
and less success had rewarded
their labors in the cotton field
the seed used was unsatsstac
tory, and the plant far from be
ing vigorous. Through the intro
duction of green seeded cotto1
from Mexico, the plant became
established among us. Th'
country was saved then.
In this connection we wish t
call attention to a bit of local his

chase because of the presence of
COCO grass, and filed suit to re-
scind the sale.
At the t. ial of the case many
OF the most prominent and sue
cessful planters of that day testi-
fed as to the deterioration caused
by coco, among them being
Judge Edward McGehee, I'M
questionably the ablest financier,
the most acute business man and
successful planter of that day in
the entire state. He testified
that COCO would render a planta-
ton worthless within a, few
years. Messrs. McLain and
Richardson were positive as to
the great and lasting damage
done by this obnoxious grass.
In fact, there was little or no at
tempt made to controvert that
fact. Those curious to read this
case will find it on page $40 of
the sixth volume of Cushman's
Reports.
What is the opinion now re-
garding COCO? Negroes actually
beg to rent the coco land-the
soil is richer, the cotton grows
freer, the scattered lint is not

The Game of Flirting.
General Rules.

General Rules
Rule 1. Ittakes two people to
make a fiirt.
Rule 2. Before playing this
game, make quite certain you do
not intend to play the game of
love.
Rule 3. 1t is highly necessary
to differentiate between a grip of
the hand and a squeeze.
Rule 4. Novices at this game
must practice in private before
playing to a gallery.
Rule 5. To commence with
the game OF flirting and end with
the game of love is certain to
disappoint one of the players.
Rule 6. TO commence q firta-
ton is simple; to end it most
difficult.
Rule 7. Never play this game
unless you are both free from
serious temperament.
| Rule 8. Always flirt simply,
and you will simply always fiirt.
Rule 8. Never fiirt with the
s anne girl twice.
| Special Rules
| Rule /. Open the game with
apparent Indifference, watching
your opponents lead.
| Rule 2. Always admire before
holding your opponents hand, or
you may not hold it long.
| Rule 3. If a girl tells you you
are shocking fiirt, deny it.
You will then strengthen her
convictions.
Rule 4. Always put your arm
around the back of a girls chair,
before you put it around her
waist. If you don't, you may
only have the chair left.
Rule 5. To fiirt in a crowd
and keep them in ignorance OF
the fact is a great art. Few can
do it.
Rule 6. Always tiirt in slight
draught. This affords endless
, opportunity for the rearrange
: ment of your chair.
Rule Z. To know when to stoI
/ flirting requires experience; you
e will be engaged many times be
: fore you learn this art.

out. Allow plenty of room for
the suns heat to reach and kill
the young weevils in the squares
on the ground.
8, Cultivate thoroughly and
often from the time the cotton is
large enough to chop out the first
time until August 1st. The cul-
tivations must always be shallow
and a dust mulch maintained in
the upper two inches of the soil.
Do not try to cultivate with a
turning pillow. Use a cultivator
or failing that, use a shallow
sweep. Do not let the ground
pack or settle after a rain, buG
keep it constantly stirred. There
is no danger of over cultivating,
and every cultivation means more
cotton.
9. If labor is cheap, or if the
farming is done by tenants, have
the squares picked up weekly
from the time they begin to fall
until July 1st. Do not keep it up
later than that and use good
Judgment as to how much labor
can be expended in this direc-
ton. If both thorough cultiva'
ton and picking up squares can
not be attended to, then sacrifice
the latter in favor of fast cultiva
ton. The crop now has to b.
made in July instead of Angus
and September.
10. Pick the cotton as fast al
, it opens and destroy the stalk
not later than October 18th so a
to cut off the supply of weevil
for the following crop.
II. Last, but by no mean
least, secure the bulletins of tn

What Shall We Do?
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

Here now, forevermore. our lives must part,
My path leads there and yours another way.
What shall we do with this fond love, dear heart?
1t grows heavier burden day by day
Hide it? In all earth's caverns void and vast
There is not room enough to hide it, dear
Not even the mighty storehouse of the past
Could cover it from our own eyes, fear
Drown it? Why, were the contents of each ocean
Merged into one great sea, too shallow then
Would be it's waters to sink this emotion,
So deep it could not rise to life again.
Burn it? In all the furnace flames below
1t would not in thousand years expire
Nay! 1t would thrive. exult, expand and grow,
For from it's very birth it fed on fire
Starve it? Yes, yes, that is the oaly way.
Give it no food, of glance, or word, or sigh,
No memories, even, of any bygone day;
No crumbs of vain regrets-so let it die.

Advice And Good Cheer.

Ii the white planters will, first
of all, take heart themselves, quit
talking panic and destruction
and instead thereof give the
colored tenants encouragement
by telling them what success has
attended others in Western
Louisiana and Texas, and instruct
them in diversifying their crops,
the exodus of labor will be ma
terially lessened. The negro
cannot improve his condition by
going to other portions of the
South, for he is bound to go
either where the weevils already
are or where they will be within
a few seasons more at the out
side. Neither can he better his
condition by going North, for
the Northern white labOrers do
not wish to compete withnegroes,
and the negro cannot expect to
be treated fairly under the labor
conditions prevailing in the
North. The South is the best
place for the negro, and the
Southern white planter is his
best friend. These facts the
negro should be honestly taught
to understand.
We are not trying to minimize
the seriousness of the Weevil
situation, but we believe that we
can continue to make cotton at a
profit and continue to get a fair
rental for all of our lands. We
do not think the situation war
rants entertaining any idea of
abandoning cotton. A little less
of the calamity howl and little
more backbone" and hard work
are now needed to pull US through
the first years of trial; then
Louisiana agriculture will be
better and greater than ever
and our farmers, on cash basis
will be capitalists instead Of
debtors.
AS a matter of general infor
nation I append brief directions
for the guidance of those VIII
have not fully informed them
selves as to the methods of grow
ingeotton in the presence of tn
boil weevil:
1. Make the farm self.suE
porting by raising all the plo'
stock, beef, pork. chickens, corr
hay. fruit and peanuts that ca
be consumed, with surplus
sell as opportunity offers,
g. Pay cash for all purchase
land make as few of the latter a
possible.
3. Encourage the colored tel
ants to diversity and becom
self.supporting in the same wa!
Teach them to make, first OF al
a living out of the ground-co
ton afterward.
AS to the cotton crop itself fo
low these methods:
/. Pick the cotton just as ia
as it opens and Immediately CT
down and burn the plants; the
pillow the land.
2. During the winter bun
over ditch banks and turn row

HERE'S A GOOD JOKE ABOUT
The SCHRECK-ROSS BOUT

Here's a good joke, says the Duluth
Herald. Under the big type caption
Of Mike Schreck Gets Back in the
First Row." a writer in the Boston
Traveller, one OF those experts, goes
on to say how our old friend OF these
parts, Michael Angelo Schreck. Is
coming back again. The writer wants
20 send poor old Schreck into the ring
with Sam Langford. For heavens
sake have a little pity.
The eastern sharp bases his pre-
sumption OF Schreck's coming back
upon his defeat of Tony Ross in the
copper country. This is one of the
best little jokes that has appeared
upon any sporting page for some time
past
Truly we hope that there will be no
pressure brought to bear to get Mich
ael Angelo into the same ring with
hungry Sam Langford. Right at the
present time Sam is anxious to make a
very scrumptious showing against any
man he stacks up against He wants
to fight his way to Johnson.
If poor, old, wind-broken Michael Is
thrown into the same arena with black
Sam, 1t will be a much more unfeeling
exhibition than throwing some husky
gink to the lions. The lions might not
be feeling hungry and let the fellow go
in the case of Schrcck, there is no
such chance.
Mike Is getting along i'm years. He
has gone through enough to be able to
gather around the larger table and re-
minisce while the willing listeners
buy. If he gets married and raises
some little Germans he can sit around
the cottage of an evening and tell of
the battles of his younger and loancr
years-figuratively speaking. why
send him against Sam Langford ana
take chances OF thus ending prcma-
turely the citizenship of Michael An
gelo Schreck?
That wise sport writer of tho Boston
paper is unkinder than he wots Of.
Let Mike leave the ring in peace ami
content after his bloodlcss victory CD
over Antonio Ross.
