The people of Huttlg missed a treat on July 4 through a misun- derstanding. Foreman c. c.

 Saturday on Their Grounds.

The Huttig ball team went to Farmerville last Saturday where one of the best games of the season was played, although they lost by a score of s to 1. The score was l to l up to the seventh innings, when two wild throws lost the game for our boys.
 The Farmerville Gazette has the following to say of the game: On Saturday the Huttig team came down, bringing a bunch of good, live rooters with them. The game was called at 2:5O and was wit messed by several hundred specta- tors, all of whom agreed that 1t was the best game ever played up- on the local diamond. Both teams were in excellent form and both fought every inch of the ground. At the close of the contest the score stood 5 to in favor of the home boys

The great autumn shows of cnrysan- themums at Dangozaka. near Tokio, offer many wonders to their crowds of visitors.
 You will see the flowers in long ranks, each plant facsimile of the next beside 1t, with exactly the same number of blooms on each. And not merely that; the top bloom will be fully opened, and so make one of a perfectly level line of fully opened blooms: the next will be nearly opened. and again one of similar row. the flowers of the third row are open to less degree; and so they de crease to the feet of the plants, where a row of close green buds extends so that the whole long rank presents a constantly repeated scale of all the beauties of the opening flower from hud to fullest bloom. And the marvel does not stop even here, for not only the blossoms but the leaves are matched in number and situation. h other places instead of straight lines the plants are disposed fan fashion ol in the shape of ap umbrella.

The Boil WeeviI Problem.

The recent drouth enabled our l farmers to get their cotton in ex- cellent shape The rain came at an opportune time. It the right methods are pursued we shall be able to produce a good cotton crop.
 The boil Weevil may not have reached your neighborhood last year. Watch carefully for punc- tured squares. These are evi- dences of the boil weevils pres enee. Do not become discouraged or disheartened, but resolve to make cotton in spite of the boil Weeyil.
 When the first punctured squares appear, pick them up and burn them. Repeat this work every five or six days for the first four or five weeks of infestation. The children can do this work at odd times. When the number of pune- tured squares get so large that they can no longer be picked up profitably. they should be knocked off and raked into the middles where the full force of the heat reaches them. A brush attached to the blow or harror will knock off most of the punctured squares. A chain eultivator will bring ninty per cent of them into the middles be-. 1 tween the rows. The weevil can not stand the heat. The punc-. tured squares in the middles (pro- vided proper care has been taken not to cover them up) are quickly baked and the weevils perish eith- CT from the direct action of the extreme heat upon themselves or from the hardening of the food supply, result of the heat also. The heat at the surface of the unshaded ground is much greater than it is some few feet higher. It has been found that when the tenn perature was 100 degrees Fahren- heit four feet above the ground. it was 1 40 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface.
 The mortality of the weevils in creases greatly during severly hot and dry weather. The Inability of the weevil to stand the heat, em- phaszes the importance of having our rows far apart in order that the sun may strikes the middle of the rows and the spaces between stalks. But our rows should be far apart even when the boil Weevil 1 is not present, because the cotton plant requires great deal of room for it's fullest development.
 Cotton must be kept clean and dust mulch must be maintained Rush it's growth as much as possi- ble in order that as large a number of bols as possible may be set before the weevils become numer- ous. The benefit of early prepara- tion. early planting and fertilization will not be fully received unless the fields are given the very best cultivation and attention. Deep cultivation and cultivation close to the plant should be avoided. Such cultivation cause shedding and the growth of the plant itself is checked. Such careless cultiva- tion does more harm than good But the importance of frequent shallow and late cultivation cannot be given too much emphasis.
