Mr.. B. L. Moss, special agent for the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, etc., has
something to say to- the boil weevil in
Tested section. He says in substance, it
is we'll to hand pick the weevil now, and
to destroy the punctured squares at this
time; but about all of this expense and
trouble would have been saved, and will
in future BE saved if the cotton stalks be
burned up before frost in the fall. If
this burning is not done this coming fall,
the expense and trouble of picking and
otherwise destroying the pests next spring
will be much greater than the present
spring. This seems rather early to talk
of burning cotton stalks this fall, but it
is none too soon to get the idea into the
heads of workers who must begin to plan
for the utter humiliation of the weevil.
Cotton stalk burning, trash burning, the
burning of brush piles. and the removal
of all fallen timber within and out on
the edges of the patch, all done as soon
as the cotton is picked, will save immense
time, expense and damage next year.

The congress has passed Postal Saw

make a depositor safe, and pay him 2
per cent on his deposit, and when the de-
posit is placed in bank, the banker pays
IA per cent to the government for the
use of t. But one singular feature in
the operation of this law, is, many people
would prefer to trust their deposits with
the government at per cent, than banks
at per cent. And lots are apt to draw
out their money from the banks for the
purposes of turning it into, what they
feel to be, safer hands, Banks can break
