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
alarmist experts calculate the cotton
bool weevil win cover the entire cot
ton belt within Eve years. It win
probably be in Georgia in the fall of
1912. perhaps sooner.
The ostrich-head-in-the-san policy is
foolish, almost to the point of criminal
ity. II 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
weevil. 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 cul
ture. as yet the financial backbone Of
the southern states.
deem it my duty to issue these
plain warnings, and to urge every farm
er in the territory likely to be affect
ed to go about putting up defenses
this year and without delay.
The detail remedies will be gen.
erously furnished you by your state ag-
ricultural departments, experiment sta
tons. 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
the weevil has attained its greatest
power for damage: intensive cultiva-
ton, which will produce 6 maximum
fiber to the acre; burning over of old
fields after the crop is gathered; and.
above all, cultivation of other crops
not susceptible to the weevil.
The Farmers Union News, publish
ed at Union City. recently published
statistics showing that Georgia spends
annually for products other than cot
ton more than s170.000,000 a year.
Every bit of these products can be
grown in and every dollar of that sum
should be kept in Georgia. The amount
we virtually give away to other Sec
tons for food and farm products our
own acres should bring forth is near
ly s20.000.000 in excess of our return.
in Georgia, for the cotton crop.
What is true Of Georgia is relatively

by the weevil. As I have previously

BARRING the Mosquitoes.

Last summer we were pestered with
the awful nuisance. mosquitoes, night
after night, and on one occasion
killed between thirty and forty in our
bedroom, at midnight. The following
day took wooden cloth. put little
kerosene oil on 1t, and rubbed both
sides of the-wfre mesh of the screens
with 1t. That night one lonely mos
quito disturbed our rest. Two or three
times each week rubbed the screens
in like manner, and we enjoyed peace
the rest of the summer. The odor
from the oil remains only few min
utes, and the oil itself preserves the
screens and keeps away fiies.-Good
