w llialn james O'Neal.

Died, at his old homestead, out near the village of Yocum on Oct. 1, Will liam James 0 Neal, aged 76 years, death wing resulted from a stroke of paralysis som4 two weeks ago.
 The death Of Uncle Bili' O'Neal re- moves one of the pioneers of this coun- try he having been resident of the community since early boyhood, having removed to this country with his faJh- CT, Charles G. O'Neal, in the early for ties. He was q valient soldier in the war of the rebellion, having been a member of the First Arkansas. l The Tribune does not conform mere ly to the custom of streWing flowers upon the graves of the dead, when we say of MT. O'Neal that he was man in the broad sense, generous, hospit- able human man, whose life has been ornamented with good deed all along the fine. He was deeply imbued with with the spirit of the pioneer, being hospitable, generous and kind in all his dealings. No beggar was ever turned from him empty handed, no favor was ever sought at his hands and within his power that was not granted. He filled those relations of life, as son, husband, father. brother, friend and filled them nobly. What higher eulogy can be pronounced upon any man?
 But "Uncle Bill' has gone and his name is now stricken from the ever lessening roll of our old settlers.
 Interment was made at 8 p, m. Wednesday at the family buryfng ground at the Campbell school house, services being conducted by Eld. w. A. Bailey of the Baptist church. Mir. O'Neal was not an active church member, though his life was as fully exemplary morally as if he had been. In his early life he was member of the Baptist church,
 His wife and the mother of all his children preceded him in death just four years to day, having passed away Oct. 1, 1908. He was remarried in 1910 to Mrs. Mahala Gum, who sur wives him.
 The surviving children are John, Columbus, Charles and George O'Neal and Mesdames Charlotte Rhodes, Abbie Scott and May Standlee. All were present at the death bed except Colum- bus. who was i'll.
 Few of us will live as long and as we'll as did our pioneer friend. The stern Reaper found him "as shock of corn, fully ripe for the harvest

Fifteen Cars of Tomatoes this Season

Fifteen Cars of Tomatoes this Season.
 The factory of the Green Forest Canning Co.,, is still running at full blast and if the market conditions should be such as to warrant it, the run may be continued for two or three weeks yet, packing apples.
 Despite the extremely unfavorable conditions that obtained during the summer, the tomato yield this season will be better than it was the two seasons previous, and the pack is going to be very respectable one, aggre- gating nearly ten cars. This combined with the output of the Yocum factory, which is operated in connection with the Green Forest plant, will give a total of probably fifteen cars.
 Up to this time the apple pack does not amount to nearly as much as the tomatos, but it may pass it before the season is over.

Experiments conducted by the Lou
isiana State Crop Pest commission are
summed up in the following extracts
from Circular No. 28. Where the cot
ton plants we're destroyed before Oc-
tober 18th, only 8 per cent. of the wee
wills survived the winter to infest the
next years's crop. Where the stalks
were destroyed from October 18th to
October 9th, an average of about 10
per cent. Of the weevils passed through
the winter successfully. Where the
stalks were destroyed between No
yember list and 25th, an average ap-
proximately Of % per cent. of the wee
wills survived the winter. Postponing
fall destruction Of cotton stalks until
the middle of December or later, per
mitted over 43 per cent. of the Wee
wills to survive the winter and attack
the next crop. Where the stalks were
destroyed before October 18th only 3
per cent. OF the weevils passed the
winter. Where the stalks remained
III the field until December 18th over
40 per, cent. OF the weevils survived

No definite rule car be laid down

KILL BOIL WEEWLs.
Necessity Of Reducing Number of
Insects Very Urgent.
Most Important Step in Producing Cot
tor as Found by EKperimenters Is
Destruction of Foliage and
Squares.

BY @. Fl. 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 -wintered weeyils
as to reduce the cost and labor of pick
ing the weevils and punctured squares
to the minimum is very urgent.
There are four methods Of reducing
the number Of weeyils to the mini.
mum: First, completely denude the cot
ton stalks of foliage, squares and
bolls, the weeyils sole food supply,
plow 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 weeyils. Third, when the
weevils appear on the little cotton
in the spring pick them off and DESTROY
them, Fourth, pick up the punctured
squares ard destroy them for at least
u month after the first squares form
on the cotton.
The results obtained by the United
States bureau Of entomology, the farm
srs' demonstration work, the Louisi-
ana State Crop Pest commission and
thousands of successful farmers point
to the supreme Importance of the early
fall destruction Of the boil weevil's
sole food supply, the squares, small
bolls, and foliage on the cotton stalks.
The conclusion reached by thousands
OF experimenters justify me in making
the statement that the most impor-
tant step in producing cotton In boil
WeeVil territory Is the early fall de-
struction OF the foliage, squares, and
immature p%unctured bolls on the cot
ton stalks. In fact, feel almost jus.
tilted in saying that the early fall de-
struction of the cotton stalks outbal-
ances all other remedies that may be
employed to destroy the wecvils.
In an experiment performed by the
Bureau of Entomology In Calhoun
County, Tex, the stalks growing on
40 acres of land were destroyed early
October. Careful records kept dur
Ing the following season showed that
the destruction of stalks on this land
increased the yield $14.56 per acre.
experiment was conducted on CD
posite sides Of the Guadalupe river
near Victoria, Tex. The stalks were
burned on one farm the latter part of
September, and on the other they were
allowed to stand until In spring before
planting time. Forty acres on the
farm on which the stalks were de-
stroyed made Is bales. Forty acres
on the other farm made 3 and 1-2 bales.

done late when the sap has begun y

in they require TO be wrapped tightly
with either cord or strong waxed
cloth. and then the whole top, as weil

There Is an insufficient number NJ

They seldom move about at night II
the farmers are careful not to unduly

all the weevils on the stalk piles will

OF course, il the stalks are allowed
to remain until a heavy frost has come
and practically all Of the mature

Is enough rainfall In this section to
