To Destroy Boil WeeVil

The State Crop Pest Commission has
just completed series of experiments
at Mansura, Avoyelles Parish, in study
ing the alternating habits of the boil
weevil. The results of these expert
ments are really startling in their i'm
portance for they point the way to
successful warfare against the weevil
with unerring accuracy.
One of the objects Of the expert
mental work at Mansura was to find
out how many of the boil weevils could
be gotten rid of by destroying the cot
ton plants at different times in the
fall. To secure this information cages
were made of wire cloth, each cage
being 8x8 feet and 6 feet high. In
these cages were placed piles of trash.
leaves, moss, ,stumps, etc, to form
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1909-08-28

Out Of this total 5,414 weevils /, ,181,
or 21.8 per cent, succeeded in living
until spring, showing that where the
cotton plants were destroyed between
November and rs an. average of ap-
proximately 22 per cent of the
Weevils survived the winter.
Cages started on November 80 and
December Z, containing a total of TAB
weevils, showed winter survival of
210 of them, or 1873 per cent. There
fore destruction of the cotton plants
as late as November 25 to December
Z resulted in % per cent of the weevils
living through the winter.
Out of 1880 weevils collected in the
fields on December IA and q and plac-
ed in cages on those dates, 545, or 43. 6
per cent, survived the winter. Post
poning fall destruction of the cotton
plants until the middle of December,
or later, permitted over 43 per cent of
last seasons boil Weevils to survive
the winter and attack the crop of 1909.
These figures are so convincing that
it is beyond comprehension that any
farmer should continue trying to grow
cotton without picking out his crop
early and completely destroying the
cotton plants stalks, leaves, bolls and
roots-long before the first autumn
frost.
Destruction of the cotton plants be-
fore October Is, in this instance, al
lowed but per cent of the weevils to
live until the crop of 1909 was subject
to their attack. Against this small
number of wintered weeviIs, as
has been repeatedly proven by expert
ience, the planter can make good
crop by the use of proper early-ma-
turing varities and by the adoption of
the intensive cultural methods. By
leaving the cotton plants standing
until after the middle of December
last fall the farmer invited certain
destruction of this years crop, for

The question of the purchase of
four acres of ground south Of the
court house for use as a play ground
was discussed. but no action was
taken. Some members of the board
thought that the city ought to make
this purchase. The city is interested
in keeping the boys and girls off the
streets, and that being the case it
ought to provide ample play grounds
for them not too far from the center
of the city, and where ball games and
other out door sports may be prac-

A GOOD OLD -;
MAN is DEAD
J. LUNDQUIST, ONE OF
THE EARLY SETTLERS OF VEGA,
GATHERED TO HIS FATHERS.

Died at his home in town of Vega,
OH Monday, March 8, at $50 o'clock
P. M, Andrew J.. Lundquist, aged II
years, 6 months and l day. The cause
Of death was old age coupled with
rheumatic complications.
Deceased was born in Daritorp,
Skaraborgs Ian, Sweden, Sept. Z, 1881.
He was united in marriage to the wife
who survives him in 1864. They, to-
gether with their only son, Axel J.
IIundquist, emigrated to America in
the spring of 1880, coming directly to
town Of Vega, where they settled on q
homestead, which has ever since been
their earthly home.
One after another they pass away
to their reward, those sturdy pioneers,
who have come from foreign shores to
break up the sod and make for them
selves new homes on the virgin
prairie in Vega and other towns.
They have done a great work in trans
forming the wilderness into beautiful
farm homes, where peace and plenty
now abide. Their work has been
hard, as all lioneers' work is, but i:
has bore rich fruit, and those who
come after them, owe them a debt of
gratitude. Deceased had done his full
share in developing the town of Vega.
While he had been making for himself
home on earth, he had not neglected
the better part of laying up treasures
in heaven. He was most devout
and consistent Christian, a member of
the Swedish Lutheran church of Vega.
His neighbcrs and all who came in
contact with him attest to his kind
ness of Heart, his generosity, and as
sistance wherever it was needed. Ali
feel that by his death they have lost
a dear friend.
The aged wife and the son, Axel
J. Lundquist, who is a we'll known
and highly respected citizen of Vega,
are the only immediate mourners in
this country. Other relatives are in
Sweden.
The funeral will be held next Mon
day from the Swedish Lutheran
church in Vega. Those wishing to at
tend will meet at the home at 10
O'Clock, in the forenoon, where brief
service will be held before going to
the church.

In presenting these figures, Mr..
Reynolds wants it understood that he
ls not assuming any superiority over
his neighbors in the matter of dairy
farming. He believes that anyone
can do just as we'll and probably
many are, but he thinks that there
are too few who keep tab on their
cows close enough TO find out just
what they are doing. The COW, he
says, is a business proposition and
ought to be treated as such. If a
farmer hire a man to work for him
and the fello" doesn't do enough
work to pay for his board and hire.
he gets rid Of him just as quick as
he can. That kind of a hired man is
losing proposition and no one can
afford to keep him. Mr.. Reynolds
says it is the same way with cow.
Some COWS wont even pay for their
hoard and it doesn't seem right to
GO better by them than one would
with the hired man. If COW won't
ray for her poard the year around
and good handsome profit besides.
fire her like you would the hired man
y 1>,,,, 4Lo4
A good COW will not pay, however,
if she is not properly fed and cared
FOR 1t is just as bad to overfeed
COW as to under feed her. 1t is Just
as bad to keep her in the barn all
the time as it is to turn her out in all
kinds of weather. The fact is, Mr..
Reynolds says, a cows physical or
ganism is not unlike a mans. If a
man will stop to think how he feels
when he overeats; if he will have his
wife pile his plate full Of victuals at
supper time and then set the dish
with leavings before him again for
breakfast; if someone would turn min
out of doors in the afternoon and
then forget to let him in again until
after the sun had gone down and a
chilly night wind was blowing; if he
could experience or imagine he had
experienced these things, and many
more, then he will now what care
mis- COW appreciates and will reward
with a bountiful flow Of milk.
MI. Reynolds believes he has been
misunderstood in this matter. AS be,
fore stated. he does not wish to as
syme any superiority. But he would
