FIGHT THE BOIL WEEvIL NOW
President Barrett Warns Southern
Farmers to Guard Against Ad-
vent Of Injurious Insect.

To the Officers and Members Of the
Farmers Union: Reliable and non
alarmlst experts calculate the cotton
bool weevil will cover the entire cot
ton belt within Ave years. 1t will
probably be in Georgia in the fall Of
1912, perhaps sooner.
The ostrich.head-in.th thes sand policy is
foolish. almost to the point Of criminal
ity. 1t is better to face facts now than
to suffer the penalty later.
Southwestern cotton states have. by
the loss OF many million dollars, dis.
covered the most feasible methods
yet devised for combating the boil
weeyil. Their experience is ours for
the taking.
Unless the portion OF the cotton belt
as yet untouched by the boil weevil
takes step in time the advent OF this
insect Is going to produce temporary
panic by wholly deranging cotton cu!-
ture as yet the financial backbone OF
the southern states.
deem 1t my duty to issue these
plain warnings. and to urge every farm
er in the territory likely to be affect

this year and without delay.
The detail remedies will be gen.
erously furnished you by your state ag.
ricultural departments, experiment sta
tions, or the federal department Of ag-
riculture. Roughly speaking. they
are few and simple. They consist In
an early maturing variety Of cotton,
that the crop may be gathered before

power for damage; intensive cultiva.

fiber to the acre; burning over OF old
fields after the crop is gathered: and,
above all, cultivation OF other crops

annually for products other than cot

are looking for cheaper hats and great
numbers Of canvas weaves, pretty and
inexpensive, that will last out the
season with some care.
The rough straws are trimmed with
ribbon or silk arranged in the sim.
plest OF drapes and rosettes. Milans
are finished with velvet ribbon as a
rule and the canvas hats or those of
smoothly woven straw are finished
with plain fold of silk or band Of
narrow ribbon about the crown and
a rosette of fancy silk or straw braid
at the side. A pretty quill or two Is
often added.
In all OF these hats the crowns are
large enough to fit quite comfortable
on the head. Brims nearly all droop.
even though there be an upward roll
toward the brim-edge. They are kept
on the head by an elastic band which
passes under the hair.
Flowers or any fragile trimmings
are out Of place on such hats. Only
the simplest and most durable Of
decorations are to be considered. Ex-
cellent examples Of such millinery are

nor even In charm. Nevertheless they
are attractive and good.
