It is to this shop that the tattler goes for ma terial wherewith to blight some happy home or attempt to ruin the character or reputation of the fel bowman, by falsefying his good name. and forever destroying his bright prospects for the future.

HOW TO KILL WFtyltS.

The Crop Pest Commission of Louisiana. which has been investi- gating the question carefully. has reached a eonclusian with regard to the overcoming of the boil weevil that is worthy of the careful at tention of the cotton growers.
 Experiments have proven that weevils deprived of their natural food during the winter months will die.

Der Is as the ultim te date that stalks should be permitted to re- main in the field
 Then. or earlier. the stalks should be gathered together and burned. thus removing the means of subsistence of the pest.
 This would serve doubtly good purpose, for it would mean that the crop. which has year after year been permitted to remain in the field in some localities, to it's own detriment, until late winter. would be gathered and ginned before it can deteriorate.
