Ravases of Boil Weevil.


In seven counties of Missis-
sippi. selected by the Depart
ment of Agriculture for observa
ton. the production of cotton in
1907 amounted to 191, 100 bales,
valued at nearly Sill, 000, 600.
The boil weevil reduced this pro-
duction to 49,, SIT bales in 1909;
to 81. 432 bales in 1910; to 1856
bales in 1911, and to $500 bales
in 1912. The aggregate rroduc-
ton for the four years amounted
to PIG, ga bales, valued at ap-
proximately $14, 800, 600. Had
the crop of 1907 been produced
for each of these four years the
aggregate would have exceeded
767, 900 bales, valued at about
s48. 900, 600. MANY farmers in
these counties abandoned entirely
the attempt to produce cotton.
The majority of the farm labor
ers have been thrown out Of
employment and emigrated to
other places.
This is a warning to the cotton
growers of Lee county to diversi-
fly their crops and prepare to
fight the pest.

"The Shepherd of the Hills"

Harold Bell Wright, the author
of THE Shepherd of the Hills
IT h Winning of Barbara.
WORTH = The Calling of Dan
Matthews and That Printer of
Udells, has made, in collabora-
ton with Fishery ". Reynolds,
a dramatization of his most popu-
lar story, THE Shepherd of the
Hills" The play has received
a excellent production from
Gaskill and MacVitty and Mana
gers Ballard Bros. of the Comus
theatre have secured the original
cast and production for their
theatre for one night only, Sat
urday, January 31st.
The Shepherd of the Hills is
a splendid story Of real life
among the Ozark hills OF Mis-
souri, and Arkansas. If you go
there you will easily find a Nut
ton Hollow, a hill like Dewey
Bald and people like Sammy
Lane, Young Matt. Mad Harvard
and Father Hewitt. Clinging to
the beautiful story, simply told,
is the very atmosphere OF the
life of the picturesque region
which is so sadly unfamiliar to
the travellers in search OF new
scenes. 1t is a clean and strong
play, we'll worth seeing many
times.

Ralph Walton Tucker.

Little Ralph Walton was born
July IA, 1918, and died January
IL, 1914. He came in the JOY
and sunshine of summer, he
went in the chill of winter, and
he leaves a home desolate and
bare. 1t was seemingly but a
day that he stayed, but it was a
beautiful day-.t was like the
brush of an angel wing,
But if in time his stay was
short, in love it was infinitely
more. 1t cannot be measured, it
cannot be told, but it can only
sob itself out in the heart-ache
that shall only lose itself in the
sweet assurance that heaven shall
be happier for the jewel await
ing us there. The solace of the
good and pure is the confident
looking forward to the joyful re-
union in the Fathers house with
the child of whom the Saviour
said: of such is the kingdom
of heaven"
God grant that through the
toll and surge Of the years the
stricken father and mother may
be borne heavenward and home
ward, where again they may
hear the prattle and see the
smile Of the little one whom they
lose awhile.
