Investing voUr Mooeys
We hear 81 fortunes quickly made
In Wall street. Of miners who have
accumulated enormous wealth by q
lucky strike. Of inventions that have
made inventors rich. But how many
Of these instances are there? Jrst a
few. while countless thousands spd
hundreds OF thousands have lost every
thing In unsuccessful ventures.
The prosperous. successful man or
woman Is the one who buys with
knowledge OF what he or she Is buy
Ing. whether II be a piece OF beef. a
dozen OF eggs, n horse. a house or
stocks and bonds
Money has been made In Wall street
and will continue to be made. Those
who buy stocks when they sell low and
sell them when they advance must
make money. The operation Is no DIFF
ferent from buying n house or n farm
at bargain and selling 1t at profit.
But one should exercise just as much
care In one transaction as In the other.
Have nothing to do with those who
offer gllttering opportunities to get
rich quickly. This vii! save your
money. 1t may sound very nice to
say that one owns a thousand shares
Of gold, silver or copper mine with
a par value Of $4,000 and that cost
the holder only $50 or 500 But what
use is such certificate unless II has
real value? Better put the $50 or
500 In one share Of dividend pay
Ing stock and be satisfied with mod
crate returns and moderate profit on
any advance the stock may enjoy

Best Of the Boil Weevil Problem.

By an estimate Of the Agricul-
tural department the boil weevil
has caused a loss Of $125, 600, 600,
represented by 2,250,O00 cotton
bales since 1t crossed the Rio
Grande." And that "with the
spread Of the pest the problem Of
control win grow more difficult.
There is no occasion to lose hope,
but there must be devised better
means Of controlling the pest and
reducing the enormous loss."
From the general growers point
of view, the estimated loss needs
to be debited by the higher prices
obtained on account Of the reduc.
tion in yield. A guess of what
this amounts to may be based on
the two cents, about, more that
cotton is bringing this year under
an estimate of $4,000, 900 bales,
and a year ago when the market
was loaded down with the forecast
of 100000 bales. From the
view point of the spinners there is
not much "problem" of produc-
ton visible, in two such "enor,
nous" crops. But the best proof
that the problem is being solved,
if the pest is not satisfactorily con-
trolled, is that the boil weevil COM
ing is no longer panic breeder

is not for me to say how much OF q
crop you will be able to make another
year. The part Of the county west OF
the railroad has much heavier infest-
alton than the eastern half OF the
county. The crop of another year de-
pends great deal on the kind OF win
ter, the weather conditions In the
Spring and most Of all on the way the
farmer begins his crop. If the crop is
begun in the same way they usually are

self. if you make no cotton. am nor
trying to score any one-that 10 not
part Of my work, but thisscounty's ex
perience will be similar to SCOTS this
year unless you change your way OF
farming. Next year may be . favora-
BILE year for cotton production, even
with a heavy infestation Of weevils;
the following year also, but year will
come before many seasons when you
will find out how completely your crop
can be destroyed. Every farmer In
Noxubee knows this to be the truth.
fod know you are doing hazardous
thing to follow your same old methods
next year, but most OF you are going
to do It.
You can make cotton in spite OF the
wecvils. regardless Of what some men
say, but it Is too great risk to take to
attempt to make five bales with one
mule blowing twenty or thirty acres.
Most Of the cotton is already gath
cred. The corn crop is harvested. The
negroes, or most Of them, will be idle
until after Christmas. Two months
will be thrown away-the very time OF
he year when blowing should be done.
If every man who expects to plant cot
ton next year would map out his cotton

then btrn out all stumps, dead trees.
