BOIL WEEVIL DISPERSION

Washington, D. C., Oct. 16.-The unusual storms of August and the very rapid multiplication of the boil wee vii in Texas have resulted in a tre- mendous movement into northwestern Texas and Oklahoma. This movement is probably not yet completed. nor has 1t been entirely mapped out. The indications are that over half of the State of Oklahoma is now (Oct. ID infested. Information has just been received that the boil weevil is at Yer non in Wilbarger County Texas, and at Cache in Comache County and Minco in the extreme northern part of the Grady County, Oklahoma. Unless immediate measures are taken by the planters throughout Oklahoma and northwestern Texas.
 The Bureau of Entomology advises that the planters throughout Oklaho- ma and the supposedly infested sec tions of Texas begin immediately to pick their cotton and destroy the plants. By destroying the plants the developing weevils will be killed. Two methods of destruction are available. If the plants can be plowed under to 1 or 3 inches this is the most desilt able method of procedure, otherwise they should be stacked in windrows and burned as soon as dry.
 After destroying the plants prepar- ation should be made for a winter GOV CT crop and for a rotation of crops next year.
 The weevil has maintained its posi- tion in Arkansas and has probably eX. tended it's area a little farther north in the western portions. The entire State of Mississippi is infested, and the weevil is now known to be in Me Marry and Hardin counties, Tenn. Tennessee planters along the entire southern border should take the same precautions that have been recom- mended to Oklahoma planters.
 Probably only four or five counties in the mountainous section of north eastern Alabama will escape infesta- tion by the boil weevil this year. Over thirty counties in western Georgia are already known to be infested and there is no doubt but that five more will be recorded soon. Planters in Georgia and Alabama, whether in infested counties or not, should take immediate measures to destroy the cotton stalks, and prepare the fields for winter GOV CT crops.

FARM BUTTER MAKING

There is probably no one thing that is more neglected in Arkansas than farm butter making. The Extension Division of the College of Agriculture in cooperation with the U. s.

41,0O0 in the membership of various boys and girls agricultural clubs con ducted by the State Agricultural Col leges and the Department of Agricul- ture in the northern and western stat s. At the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, there were 11O.- O77 members in the various club pro- Jects Tn the 33 states covered by this work. At the close of the present ifs cal var, June 30, 1915, the member ship was 1,194, exclusive of the en- Irollment in the mother-d daughter can ming clubs.
 This work is being carried on CO., operatively in 26 of the 33 states in the northern, central, and western ter ritory by the Department of Agricul- ture and the extension departments of the state colleges of agriculture In practically every state short cour ses for boys and girls and special demonstration schools have been held at the colleges and in the field. Dur ing the past year 1,557 club members attended the mid winter courses at the colleges, 96S of these having their ex- penses paid by local contributions as a recognition of their achievements in club work Of the 3S club members who, as champions in their states, dis | tricts, or counties for 1914, have be- come recognized as National All Star Club members, 31 are now attending high schools, agricultural, or other colleges, 3 of the remaining 2 have al ready graduated from high school, and 1 will go to an agricultural col lege this fall.
 Experience has shown that the work in the boys and girls clubs can be carried on with even greater success without the aid of large cash prizes and awards. The net profits from this work itself have been found to be the best possible incentive. The members have their attention directed to prob lens of farm and home management, crop rotation, soil building, etc, and in practically every state in which the work is being carried on a large num- Der of club members are now working out three and four-year rotations of crops. The profits which they derive from club work they are spending on getting an education, or for purchase of pure bred stock and laborsaving machinery. Many are even buying land and thus acquiring an invaluable sense of dignity and independence.
 In the canning work 93S public demonstrations were held during the year, with total attendance of 11S,- 367. These demonstrations were held primarily for the club members, but parents were always invited and, as a matter of fact, more than half of these present were grown men and women. On of the great advantages of this club work, indeed, is the fact that it serves to stimulate the parents as well as the children.

TRAINING SHEEP DOG
Collie Should be Taught Wholly
by One Person.
Lessons Of Half an Hour Daily are
Sufficient and First One Should be
Learned ThorouehIy-Pup
Should be Watched.
tBy A. ]. EwEN.)


A good collie will be ready to begin
to learn to drive sheep at about
three months of age. He should be
taught wholly by one person.
First teach him to lead, placing a
string about his neck. He will soon
learn not to try to get away and to
come on hearing the word Here" or
whatever word is chosen, pulling on
the string until he learns to come
promptly.
Lessons of half an hour a day are
enough and this first lesson should be
learned very thoroughly, so that the
dog will come from any part Of the
yard instantly on hearing the word.
Next he learns the meaning of the
word Go" by using the word when
sending him through an enclosure,
continually repeating the lesson until
he acts promptly.
AS a part of this lesson he should
be taught to stop anywhere on the
| word Halt" emphasized at first by
pulling on the string, which should be
attached to his neck.
The word Whoa is also used by
| some trainers to indicate that the
teacher is through with him for the
| time being and the dog Don learns to
understand it.
While driving sheep it is convenient
to have the dog understand the word
Speak which means that he is to
begin barking, and he can be taught
the word very easily by holding up
something which he wants to eat and
using the word.
The meaning Of "Out" is easily
taught when the dog is in the house
by opening the door and p~ronouncing
the word.
After this preliminary education he
may go out with an old trained sheep
dog. By running with him the pup
will soon learn much about the bust
ness, but should be watched to see
that he does not try to go to the
heads of the cattle.
After letting him try with the older
dog for a few times he should be taken
to the sheep or cattle without the
other dog.
If the cattle have been used to be-
ing driven by dogs they will Dot turn
upon him, an occurrence which might
injure his driving qualities for some
time to come.
He should learn the meaning of
STEADY" when inclined to drive the
cattle fast, and If the first training is

most peoples would have been by not
