WEEVILS APPEAR
IN FORREST CO.
COUNTY DEMONSTRATION AGENT
CARPENTER ADVISES PROMPT
MEASURES.

County demonstration agent, III. A.
Carpenter, stated this morning that
the boil weevil is present in the cotton
helds of Forrest county in great num-
Ders, and gives it as his opinion that
any cotton grower who is unwilling
10 undertake the determination of the
Weevil might as well plow up his cot
ton and devote the land to the grow
ing of some other crop. He states.
however, that if the farmers will get
into the fields and go over their cotton,
row by row, they will do much to qua.
rantee a cotton crop, in spite of the
weevil.
Discussing this matter further, Mr..
Carpenter stated that il one goes into
the fields to find weevils he should not
become too hopeful because he does
not find them by the thousands, as he
knows of cases where an all day
search has brought to light only 100
to 300 weevils to the hand. The de-
of these means the preven-
tion in late August or early September
as many millions of weevils as there
are individuals found now.
Some farmers in the county are
paying to have the wevils' picked off,
among those showing such commend
able enterprise are F. Nj. Morris, M.
B. V. Timms and Geo. Baylis. Some
farmers are paying 60 cents a hundred
for captured wevils.
Mr.. Carpenter added that if farmers
cannot or will not secure the co-opera-
tion of tenants in picking off and de-
stroying the weevils they should for
their own protection cease to make
of money or supplies to such
tenants.

stemiousness of the colonel, in the lat
ter's suit to recover libel damages from

all his life, was with him both times
when he took the oath of President,
accompanied him on hunting trips and
camping tours. He testified that the

any man l ever saw"
Several other witnesses called by

mony given by the colonel the first of
the week, declaring he drank only oc-
casionally and sparingly.

tered won prizes, the other four being
forced out by broken parts.

by Spencer Wishert, finished second,
seven laps behind the winner. The
