BOIL WEEVIL IN
 FIELDS NEAR CUBA

Cuba, September 22.-(Special. .)-Three bales of cotton from four acres the first picking is the achievement of A. J. Up- church, who has been doing some scen- tidc farming this year. This cotton was planted in wide rows, land subsoied, and every method known to the government was used where practicable. This plot of four acres is expected to yield eight bales. w. U. Shaw, who has been improving Triumph, recently picked 92 pounds of seed cotton from 220 stalks the first time over and from his acreage he expects to average nearly two bales. These small areas were planted as an experiment to see if the boil weevil could be headed off and are source of encouragement to the farmers. The condition of cotton in gen eral will average with last year. It is opening rapidly as the foliage has been cut off by the worms. Farmers are show ing some disposition to hold cotton since the market dropped under lie.
 One hundred and forty-three bushels of corn has been harvested by Rowan Me Elroy, a member of the Boys Corn club, from his acre this year. This is a gain of 70 per cent over last year, and was made at a cost of 15 per cent less. This land had the stumps blown out with dyna- mite, and was deeply subsoed so that when other corn was suffering for rain 1t kept green. Arrangements are making to have this exhibited at the state fair.
 B. M. Moss, the boil weevil expert. was in town today. having just returned from Choctaw county, where boil weevils were found in numbers. They will do much damage next year. He found none here and does not expect them for week.
 i9
 This bids fair to prove the banner year for the Cuba High school. which now has the highest enrolment of any school in the county. The faculty all took summer courses. the principal, P. W. Williams going to Columbia university, and the work they are doing this wear. shows the effect of the training. Pupils are coming from across the line in Mississippi md the enrollment is now lowering around the 200 mark County Superintendent Galloway is highly pleased with the work. especially the adding of the eleventh and twelfth grades for such as desire to go that high. p
 w. S. Daniels is figuring on goAg into the hog business as an offset to the boil weevil and Is arranging to fence in a con siderable area of his land for the purpose of raising cattle and hogs ina small way.
