THE LATEST dope
ON BOIL WEtViL
District Agent Moss Tells Farmers
How to Control the Cotton Crop
Pest When it Appears.

B. L. Moss, district agent of the u.
S, Department of Agriculture for South
Mississippi, has just issued the fol-
lowing relative to the best methods
of boil weevil control during the next
two months.
Under weevil conditions June and
July are the critical months for the
cotton grower. Now is the time when
the weeyils that passed the winter
are emerging and attacking the young
cotton. These must be carefully
picked and destroyed, and the young
squares as they are punctured and
fall. should be picked up weekly and
burned. Continue this until August
first Furthermore, it is imperative
that all fields be kept clean, free of
grass. and in growing condition. These
are the three essential steps-destroy
all adult weevils, pick and burn all
punctured squares, and cultivate shall
low and frequently.
1T is gratifying to note that large
nercentage of farmers are adopting
these methods, and the indications are
that a fair crop will be made. There
is also less attention being given to
poisons, boil weevil exterminators,
and other fake boil weevil remedies
which to say the least of them, are
not tried and proven of value. and
which il will be well to avoid until
Wa know more about them"

ed before Johnstone and pleaded
guilty TO fighting. They were fined
s. each. several of them paying
the sum and others going to Jail
to repent that they accepted the in
vitation OF the groom to be present.
on The festal occasion.
After the wedding took place about
s O'Clock yesterday morning, Lopez
announced to all his friends that
they would be welcomed at his
house. He urgently requested them
TO be present and help celebrate the
nuptials.
Lopez, with much foresight. had
la.d in a large supply of bear. wine
and good things to eat. and this
proved a magnet that his friends
could not resist. Several laid OF
work yesterday to be present, but
the big crowd did not arrive until
last night when fully 200 enjoyed
the hospitality of Lopez.
AS the wine and beer flowed the
spirits of some OF the guests arose
and before long they engaged in a
series OF bloody encounters.

Well Known Democrat Points
Out That He Never Was in
Favor of Anything But
Party Action.

Hon. Eugene S. Ives OF Tue
son writees the following letter to the
Phoenix Democrat which is self ex-
planatory and puts the well known
democrat in a correct light:
am advised that your paper by
misapprehension published that at
the recent democratic gathering at
Prescott I favored the non-partisan
convention. You may ascertain the
true facts from Carl Hayden and Paul
Kruger who we're at the meeting Of
the Territorial Central Committee
and from Messrs. Dillon Burns OSui-
Hvan General Wilson Henry W. As
hurst and many others who were pre-
sent at both meetings of the Terri'or-
!al Central Committee and the confer
ence of Democrats which was held
the dav prior TO said meeting. Ny posi-
tion was immovably and unalterably
in favor of an aggressive fight along
selection of delegates TO the constitn-
tional convention. While l would not
assert any assumed leadership IN such
fight yet in view of the incorrect pub
,ications in the newspapers through
out the territory. / feel it due myself
to assert that it was l who first offer
ed the resolution suggesting such ag-
gressive fight and that l spoke in
favor of the same on more that one
occasion.
NV position was then as 1t has been
before and IS now that the demo
cratic party should call upon the
people by the election of democratic
delegates TO the constitutional conven-
ton TO repudiate the infamy OF the
congressional enactment whereby a
republican President and congress de-
parting from the principles of the De
claration of Independence and from
the accepted practice of the courtr3
from its organization have required
that the constitution of a free state
adopted by its people should be in
effective unless approved by a pre-
sident and congress in which such
people have no representation or
voice.
will esteme it a favor as we'd as
an act of justice if you kindly give
publicity to this letter.
Yours truely
