AS GOOD AS FISHERS BLEND
is the regular argument Of all who
strive to push the sale of hours made
wholly of Western wheat.
AS good as FISHERS BLEND, they
saw, but COSTS LESS. And right
there is where the force of the argu-
ment fails, for no amount OF argument
and craftsmanship can produce Hour
made wholly Of Western wheat as
good as FISHERS BLEND.
The price of FISHERS BLEND is
a little more per sack than the price of
other hours for the very plain and sim
pie reason that FISHERS BLEND
isn't one Of the other hours nor any
thing at all like them. IF it was it
would cost what other hours cost and
YOU would get no more for your
money.
The price of FISHERS BLEND
few cents more per sack than hours
made wholly of Western wheat--is
regulated by the cost of the superior
and carefully chosen materials that go
into its composition. In no other flour
on the market is the scientific BLEND
of EASTERN HARD WHEAT and
WESTERN SOFT WHEAT to be
found.

There Is Call for Millions of Govern
ment Money.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
The suggestion that the federal gov
ernment appropriate as much as 10000
600 to be used in fighting the boil weevil
will probably give the country something
of a start. but 1t is eminently rational.
and in the interest of all the pe>3le, to
propose that the Department of Agricul-
ture be authorized to wage a far more
vigorous campaign against this most de-
structive of pests than has yet been un-
dertaken.
The officials of the department claim
that their methods have been successful
where they have been put In operation
and faithfully followed. but the steady
advance of the weevil is the SUFFICIENT an
swer that they are not bringing the re-
suits which the public has a right to ex-
pect Thousands of acres of fertile lands
formerly planted in cotton have been
abandoned or put into other uses, and
where cotton has continued to be planted
in spite of the weevil the expense or cui-
tivation has been materially increased
and the yield reduced. Let the weevl
take possession of the entire cotton belt,
as 1t promises now to do. and that In
the course of very few years. and 1t Is
impossible to calculate the damage that
may be done or the effects produced. The
cotton growers Will not be the only suf-
ferers. for the whole nation. and. indeed.
the entire world. Will help pay for the
injury which will be done
Haf-hearted methods on the part OF the
Department of Agriculture when con-
fronted with a situation holding such vast
potentialites are inexcusahle- Already
there has been deplOrable lack OF en-
ergy in dealing with this problem and II
is high time for a change. war meas
ures are NECESSARY and the department
had as vel, do nothing unless 1t is pre-
pared to take action calculated to pro-
duce results.
