PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with q very
Irritating breaking out, which came on
her face. neck and back. When she
first came down with it. 1t came =
little watery-like testers under her
eyes. and on her chin. then after q few
days 1t would dry down In scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
Il consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur.
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. I did as 1
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let. and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she Is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

KILL BOIL WEEV|LS
Necessity Of Reducing Number Of
Insects Very Urgent.
Most important Step In Producing Cot.
ton as Found by Experlmenters Is
Destruction Of Foliage and
Squares.

(By G. H. Afford. Special Agent OF the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work. Jackson. Miss.)
This is lesson No. one. and it should
be thoroughly learned The need of
50 reducing the over-wintered weevils
as to reduce the cost and labor-of pick
ing the weeyils and punctured squares
to the minimum is very urgent
There are four methods of reducing
the number of weevils to the mini

ton stalks of foliage. squares and
bolls. the weevils sole food supply.
glow the stalks under good and deep.
or burn the stalks at the earliest pos
sible moment In the fall. Second. at
some time during the winter, destroy
the rubbish In and about the fields
which might serve as alternating
quarters for weevils. Third, when the
weevils appear on the little cotton
in the spring pick them on and destroy
them. Fourth. pick up the punctured
squares and destroy them for at least
one month after the first squares form
on the cotton.
The results obtained by the United
States bureau Of entomology. the farm
ers' demonstration work. the Louisi-
ana State Crop Pest commission and
thousands Of successful farmers point
to the supreme Importance of the early

The conclusion reached by thousands

under the stalks at all times and under
all conditions as a means of destroy
ing the food supply of the weevils
However. let US use large plows and
strong teams and completely bury the
stalks wherever 1t can be done
There is an insufficient number OF
cattle on many farms and plantations
to thoroughly and completely denude
the cotton stalks Of every vestige OF
foliage, squares and bolls in a short
time and It Is impossible to completely
bury the cotton stalks on many farms
and plantations, hence. II Is absolute
ly necessary to burn the stalks as
soon as the cotton Is picked out.
When the stalks are burned the food
supply of the adult weevils 10 de-
stroyed at once. The weevils in the
immature stages In the squares and
bolls are all destroyed at once, and
the large majority of the adult weevils
perish in the flames especially when
the stalks are burned after shutdown.
Weevfls retire for the night on the
cotton stalk piles at about shutdown.
They seldom move about at night II
the farmers are careful not to unduly
shake the stalk piles when applying
the torch after shutdown. practically
all the weevils on the stalk piles will
be burned.
OF course. II the stalks are allowed
to remain until q heavy frost has come
and practically all OF the mature
weevils have gone into winter quar-
ters. II is not advisable to burn the
stalks II is then advisable to turn
the stalks under as deeply as possible
Surprising numbers Of weevils have
been found alternating in cracks and
holes in the ground and under grass,
weeds and other trash. In January,
1907. in one instance, the bureau of
entomology found $50 weevils per
acre. of which 70 per cent. we're alive.
Most Of the many examinations that
have been made by the bureau Of en-
tomology have shown more than 1000
live weevils per acre In the cotton
fields. Thousands Of weevils are
found alternating in corn fields in old
sorghum and cane fields. and In hay
fields.
Deep winter breaking and the turn
ing under Of trash, corn stalks and so
on means death to thousands of
weevils. The thousand or more
weevils per acre in the cracks and
holes 10 the ground and under the
grass. weeds and trash and corn stalks
can practically all be killed by deep
winter breaking of the land. There
is enough rainfall In this section to
thoroughly saturate the soil many
times and for this reason It Is not at
all necessary to burn the corn stalks.

Many weevils will escape from the
fields but all win not fly beyond the
reach OF the farmer. Many will be
found along the fence rows. hedges,
ditch banks. and in decayed logs and
dead trees. The cleaning and burn
ing Of the hedges. ditch banks and
fenced rows and the burning of sap
on logs. stumps and dead trees in and

weevils that would live to do great
