KILL BOIL WEEVILS
Special Agent Of Agricultural De-
partment Tells How It Is
Done.
interesting Article Should Prove Prof
table to Farmers In Every Cotton
Growing section-Examine Plant
and Destroy All P%unctured Squares.

The following interesting article on
how to kill the boil weeyil has been
issued to the farmers of Anderson
county by T. M. Shirley. special agent
farmers cooperative demonstration
work Of the United States department
Of agriculture. and should prove profit
able to farmers In other sections OF
the state as well:
Having examined a great many
cotton fields In Anderson county re-
Gently. / find a great many weevils IN
the cotton, and as they are increasing
rapidly. I desire to call your attention
to the fact. and suggest remedies for
preventing them from destroying a
great deal of your cotton; and II you
follow out these suggestions you can
grow a fine crop Of cotton in spite OF
them.
The cotton Is now forming as well
as / have seen 1t, and by saving the
squares that it will put on in the next
few weeks, a good crop will be as
sured; and it can be done to a very
great extent. The weevils have ap-
peared only in sections of the fields.
and by watching closely they a be
held in check and kept from spread
ing. Where there are children they
may be hand picked; both weevil and
punctured squares. Many farmers are
doing this now. Why not you?
Keep your sweeps going; go over
your cotton every eight or ten days;
don't stop for dry weather; attach a
brush to your singletrees, which will
knock many of the weevils and pune
tured squares off the stalk, and into
the dust mulch, thereby destroying a
large percent, for the hot dust will
surely kill them.
But, If seasons continue, pick the
squares and burn them, for burying
them In moist soil will not kill them.
Remember that 100 weevils de-
stroyed now prevents thousands later
on, and this will save you perhaps one
to ten bales of cotton. 1t is up to you
to save your crop and make a good
yield. Don't neglect to follow out
the instructions; go now and examine
your cotton, and If you find any pune
tured squares destroy them and find
out the weevil, for there are but few
now, and doing so 0 may destroy
the whole colony.
BE sur to pillow often and shallow,
keep a dust mulch, and l verify believe
you will be absolutely rewarded for
your labor"

Some Flower Notes.

Balsams show to best advantage
when they are pruned to one straight
stem. Pinch off every side branch
and the single stalk left will be com
pletely covered with a mass Of bloom.
All flowers keep In bloom much
longer, and the flowers are larger, If
not allowed to form Seeds. Pinch on
every flower as soon as it begins
to fade. This is Especially true Of
sweet peas and pansies.
It is a mistaken idea that Ivy. vines
keep walls DAMP. They keep them
dry as the ntle suckers, witch cling
to the walls, fsuck the moisture from
the walls instead OF attracting It to
them.

THOROFARE MERCHANTS SUE
STANDARD OIL THIRD TIME.
Ask Damage for Store Wreck in
an Explosion.

WOODBURY., Jan. 11.-There will be
a third trial of the damage suit of
Wilkins Brothers, of Thorofare, against
the Standard Oil Company, the Court
of Errors and Appeals having set aside
the verdict of a year ago in favor of
the company.
In the first trial the verdict was for
$21, 900 in favor of the plaintiffs. This
was set aside, and at the next trial a
verdict, under instruction from the
trial court, was rendered in favor of
the Standard.
This case is the result of an explosion
in the Wilkins store, which wrecked
the building. Several customers were
injured, Miss Hannah Richards,
the postoffice clerk, was hurt so Sc
verely that she dice soon after, and
Charles Wilkins, one of the proprietors,
received injuries that will be with him
through life.
The oil company contends that the
head of a match flew in a can of pow
der, which caused the explosion. In
the trials q most bitter fight has been
put up. During one of them. on the
part of the Standard, an expert offered
to make tests in the courtroom with
gasoline to show that it would not ex-
plode under several conditions, but the
court would not permit it.

CITY CLERK PAGAN WILL
PROBABLY SUE CITY.

JERSEY CITY, Jan 11.-Although
Mayor Wittpenn allowed the resolution
of the Board of Aldermen, granting
City Clerk Michael l. Fagen, $500 for
extra services at the constitutional and
primary elections to become effective
without his signature, Comptroller
Gormley refused today to sign the war
rant, claiming there is no appropriation
with which to pay the money.
When the Board of Aldermen passed
the resolution, City Clerk Fagen was
complimented for his services and it
was pointed out hat the Essex County
Board of Freeholders had allowed mu-
nicipal clerks in that county $40 an
election district for extra services.
There are 100 election districts in Jer-
sey City, and had the allowance been
made on the same basis as in Newark
and other Essex County municipalities,
Mr.. Fagen would have received 81. 200.
Friends of City Clerk Fagen say Mr.
Gormley In holding up the warrant for
$500. inasmuch as there is an appro-
priation of $500 for election allowance
for the city clerk" is probably getting
even with the city clerk for holding up
Shade Tree Commission warrants that
were ordered paid in excess of the an
nual appropriation.
Fagen will probably institute suit for
the $500.

PASTORS FEAR TO
PREACH THE GOSPEL,

E, TRENTON, Jan. 1t.-Addressing an
audience of Methodist preachers at yes
terday's meeting of the Trenton Metho-
dist Minister'S Association, the Rev.
George w. Rideout. pastor of Wesley
M. E. Church, criticised present day re-
ligious revival methods, and ooh min
listers of all denominations to task for
failing to do their full duty in their
pulpits for fear of losing their positions.
He said that while he Is a firm believer
in foreign missions, it is his opinion
that there is fully as great need for
missionary work among the people in
Trenton as there is In Africa or other
foreign countries.
Referring to the union revival serv-
ices recently i'eld In this city, Mr..
Rideout declared that they were over
officered; that there was too much de-
nominationalism in them and that the
only proper and effective revival meet
ings are revivals for God, without re-
gard to denominations. He called at
tention to tho fact that while the pews
at most of the revival meetings were
mostly unoccupied, all the theatres in
the city were crowded n the saloons
did not complain because of lack of
business.
Mr.. Rldeout declared that most of
the praying nowadays is done by
preachers and women. He urged men
to pray.

BOARD DEMANDS BETTER
CAR SERVICE IN JERSEY CITY.
Accommodations for PAS
sengers in Rush Hours.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 1l.-So numer-
u have been complaints of citizens
over the lack of accommodations in the
local trolley car service that the Street
and Water Board has passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
That the Public Service Railway
Company be and is hereby directed to
so augment and adjust present passen-
ger facilities of its various lines as that
during the rush hours reasonable ac-
commodation can be afforded those
who would board cars at other than the
starting points"
A city ordinance gives the board some
power in the matter of regulating the
street car service and the word direct
ed' used in the resolution caused
some inquiry among the commissioners
as to what would be lone in the way
of penalty in case the Public Service
Corporation refused to comply with that
which practically amounts to a demand.
On this point the commissioners were
somewhat reticent, but all declared
that something must be don to secure
at least reasonable accommodations
during rush hours"
