AFTER The BOIL WEEvIL
Banner-DemOcrat.


Mr.. E. r. Boney. of Duckport,
La, writing to tho VicksburR Her.
aid under date of June Goth, says:
We find the bag method the
most effective means we have yet
practiced for controlling the boil
weevil. We use bag made Of q
light cloth; it should bs at least
yard in length if not longer, with
the mouth hold open by loop OF
other continuance attached to a
handle. The operator places the
mouth of sach under plant, strikes
tho plant at base of stalk with a
paddle; the jar knocks the weevils
and loose squares into the sacks,
where they are occasionally emp
tied into fire. A bunch Of switches
or brush might be moro effective
for getting the punctured squares.
We are having excellent results
from this method, simple, mex
pensive and less labOrious than
tho finger picking. One woman
reports she captured over 500 wee
wills on three acres in one day. Ii
has encouraged our labor to a de.
terminsd fight, which should vi
gorously waged for tho next ten
days. The hibernatsd weevil art
about all out, death is rapidly de
plotting them and the thing is t.
bag aud burn their eggs.

The income from chickens, but
ter, eggs and cream is sometimes
considerable, in many instance
enough to maintain the family ex-
psnsss while the crops aud live
stock for sale are being produced.
Those who have fruits, vegetables,
fresh meats. etc seldom need crs-
dit at the stores, but they have
cash with which to buy necessities
whom needed.

FRENCH ORGANIZATION.
By Request.

Last Sunday, a committee con-
sis,ing of Msssrs. p. Krauss, j. r.
Domengeaux and Dr.. Duroc of
Lafayette aud Mr.. Vallee of Alb
bsvills, mot here with Messrs. A.
j. Maumus, p. Jubin, Z. E. Del
hommsr and Rev. j. NJ. Langlois,
aud together formulated plans for
the organization of a French So
ciety whose membership is to con-
sist of all interested citizens Of the
Attakapas. The purpose of the
Society are to rskindle the waning
interest in the French language
and to revive the traditions and
customs which prevailed during
the strenuous history making early
days Of Louisiana.
These gentlemen are now snga.
ged in psrfscting the details with
a view of effscting permanent Or
gsnization on July 18th, on which
occasion, Mr.. Lacaze. Consul Gen
sral of France at New Orleans,
will be the guest of honor at a
banquet to follow the launching
of the new Society; and will ad-
dress those assem- blsd, defining
tho work and accomplishments OF
kindred associations of other sec.
tons.
In order to sngsnder social in
tercourse and kindly feeling 80
necessary to the success Of all
such enterprise, it is proposed to
designate tho French Holiday,
July 14th., IS day Of recreation
each year when the members OF
tho organization will assemble at
some of tho towns in Southwest
Louisiana and participate in q
banquet and have q good time
generally.
Although to be known as a French
Society. 1t is not to be inferred
that Frsnchmen alone arc eligible;
on the contrary, it is hoped that
the French speaking portion of
the Attakapas will appreciate the
Importance OF the objects to be-
attained and will enlist their on
deavors to help along a good cause.

The Farmers Revenge.

Canadian Courier: Why does not
some smart story writer give US a
with the title, The Farmers Re-
venge? In September, 1911. Canada
voted against a free exchange of beer
betWeen Canada and the United
states, The farmers on both sides or
fhe line wanted it. The farmers in
Canada were advised not to vote Tor
If. and between us we hammered the
reciprocity pact out Of existence.
But the farmer has a his revenge:
woodrow Wilson butted in and
knocked off the United States duty.
THE Canadian farmers saw their OPP
p~ortunity. seized it, and started send
ing beef over the line. Now IN this
December, 1913, we of beef
are being asked to pay just about
twice as much for beef as we paid q
year 3 In December. 1903, beef sold
Wholesale at 1926 a hundred; last
week it sold in Toronto at $1b.25.
The way the farmers of Ontario are
chuckIing it ferce-there is not other
word to describe II. They are having
their evenge The is pay
ling 8 to 5 cents a pound more for his
beef than he was a year ago and near
M 10 cents q. pound more than he paid
liz 1893. The wholesaler and the re-
taller are making very little--the
farmer is getting the whole of the In
Icrease. ]. No wonder the farmer is buy

Just how soon this new policy may
go into effect. if it does. has not been
announced. However the
idismantling of the branch houses OF
this concern at the beginning Of the
new year, in keeping with the new
nolicy, of concentration. was known to
been in contemplation for sever
al weeks, so the announcement OF the
removal of the branch house from
Fargo does not come wholly uneXpect-
ed in certain financial, circles.
Branch houses of Stone-Ordean-
| Wells have been located in this state
Grand Forks and Minot. Two years
ago, when the Fargo branch house
was opened, the Bismarck branch was
consolidated with the n here, leav-
ing three branches in operation, al

of each department retained. me
North Dakota Agricultural college has
for years, in addition to its line OF
experiments, carried on extension
work under the supervision of Presl-
lent Worst and Prof. Gordon W.
Randlett, who have sought to arouse
interest in better practical farming,
and in the consolidation which became
effective yesterday this work will no"
| be under the supervision OF Director
| Cooper under the new combination.
TO a. certain extent this work on
/ the part of the college has been
thampered through the lack or tunds,
! but despite this feature both President
; Worst and Professor Randiett V
! succeeded in accomplishing much and
bringing into reality many Of their
original plans without any outside
financial aid.
The North Dakota Better FARMING
association, since its organization
has done a great deal under the lead
ership Of Thomas Cooper as secretary
toward creating an interest II

so greatly needed in this state.
