BOIL e ADVICE.
Given Mississippi Farmers by spe'
ciai Agent Moss.

Given Mississippi Farmers by spe'
ciai Agent Moss.
The following has been given out
here:
To All Farmers in Boil weevil Terri
torya
The fight against the weevil has
not progressed far enough for Its eff
~fectiveness to become fully apparent.
But one lesson has, or should have
been, impressed on the man who has
been compelled to pick closely the
weevils and p~unctured squares in his
field, and that Is the urgent need OF
so reducing the emerging weevils as
to minimize the expense and trouble
of picking them.
The only way to do this effectively
is by burning all cotton stalks be-
fore frost in the fall.
Hundreds and thousands OF weevils
have appeared In the fields In weevil
sections this spring, and the expense
and trouble Of picking them has often
been a very considerable item. How
ever, 1t was one of the effective means
of fighting the pest, and every farmer
who has carefully followed this prac-
tice will profit by 1t.
BY destroying your stalks in the fall
at a cost of so cents an acre, you can
very greatly reduce the cost of pick
ing weevils and punctured squares in
the spring, and practically assure
your cotton crop.
Further, the expense Of picking the
weevils this year has been compare
lively light, on account of our very
cold winter. BY June 20 this year.,
following a cold winter, only 4 per
cent. of over-wintered weevils had
emerged from Information: while n
year ago, followed by a mild winter,
over 20 per cent, or five times as
many, had emerged by the same date.
Hence, where stalks are not de-
stroyed the average expense of pick
ing weevils and squares will very like.
ly be much greater than this year.
We are always going to make cot.
ton in Mississippi, but the sooner the
grower realizes that a smaller acre
age, fall destruction of stalks and
picking weevils and squares, and rap
i'd, intensive methods are essential,
the better it will be for all concerned.

unsuccessful attempts at the postoflce
department to get the postmaster gen.

extend the rural free delivery service
to places which already had been. ap-

attention to what these gentlemen
called the unjust policy was called in
the house at the close Of the fiscal
year. The postmaster general pointed
out that he had turned back into the
treasury some $4,000, 900 OF unexpend-

VOTE OF TWENTY
YEARS REVERSED

ROCHESTER, n. Y. April -
More than 10000 voters of Monroe
county changed from the Republican
n the Democratic column today and
elected the first Democratic congress
man that has represented the thirty
second district In twenty years.
James S. Havens. Democrat ruun-
ing on a tariff reform platform. de-
feated George w. Aldridge, for a score
OF years the ruler OF the county Re"
publican organization by $500 votes.
Monroe county which comprises
th,. 32nd congressional district is
nomlnally Republican by 5000.
James Beck Perkins whose death
In the middle of his third conGres"
sional term necessltated a special
election today. carried the district III
1908 by 10,l67 votes.
Mr.. Havens had arrayed against
him one of the strongest political Of
ganlzations in the state. Yet in
campaign lasting but II days and with
a hastily constructed machine. he ac-
complished one OF the most remark
able oyerturns In political history.
The result OF todays election takes
It's place beside the Democratic VIC
tory In the 14th Massachusetts dis
trIct where Eugene n. Foss was sent
to congress from a district supposed
to be as rock-ribbed Republican as
this.
Mr.. Havens rode to victory on
platform advocating tariff reform IN
the interests Of the consumer. a re-
vision OF the duties on wool and wool
CT goods. a removal OF the tax on
hides and lumber, a removal OF the
tarif on iron ore, an income tax and
fipallys advocating independence OF
political bosses.
Mr.. Aldridge, his opponent, oou-
tented himself with general proclama-
tions in favor Of the policies of thu
Republican administration. On the
tariff proposition he was regarded as
n "stand.patter," both candidates de-
clared for reciprocity with Canada,
an employees compensation act. par
GELS post and a postal savings bank
The Democrats acknowledged one
OF the main factors In today's victory
was a persanl issue raised by Aid
ridges record as party boss and evil
dence presented at the recent hre
Insurance investigation.
Mr.. Aldrigde acknowledged he re-
ceived 81 900 check from Elijah Ken
nedy an agent OF the fire insurance
companies, but denied he benefited
personally by the transfer. He de-
clored he turned the money into the
treasury of the Republican organisa-
ton.
This so-called moral issue was taken
up by the churches and no less than
twenty elergymen announced them
selves for Havens Mt Aldrtdge's
defense was that his record stood
for itself He summoned to his aid
several thousand Monroe county vot-
ers who were under obligation TO him
for ,polltical fawors and today the
polling places were throngo6 hjth
workers wearing his badge. Outside
OF tho district he received little II
any assistance. Mr.. Havens on the
other hand. was helped by the Demo
cratic national committee, which sent
here such speakers as Charles Ham

secretary OF the treasury under Cleve-
