FINDS COAL OIL
 RUNS OFF WEEVIL

e Jackson, Miss, Aug. 6.-That ordi- nary. coal oil is a practical and effec- tive remedy in the eXtermination of boil weevils is the important and in- teresting result of a series of experi- me2ts made on the Delta plantation of Dr. R. V. Pow CTS, of this city. As a result of the use of coal oil a good crop will be made on the plantation of Dr. Powers, where, during the 1912 season the cotton yield was almost a total failure.
 The methods used is to have rod extending laterally from the blow beam, on the end of which is a sack saturated with coal oil. This sack brushes lightly over the plant, slight ]y staining the leaves, and within a very short time the weevils are con- spicuous by their absence
 'I believe this is the oily practi- cal method of exterminating the pest that has yet been devised" says Dr. Powers. 1t is certainly working successfully on my places, and I earnestly recommend it to all other farmers"
