were undaunted by this apparently in

fighting for zero weather Today it
came. The weather bureau did not
know it was coming and did not fore
cast it, but that was because the
weather bureau very foolishly failed
to observe that the powerful col

zero temperature for the purpose
of eliminating the boil weevil pest in

WEEYIL DANGER IS NOT

Progressive Farmer Says Damage is
Rarely Excessive North of 33 l-2

Editors Note.-Faulkner county
or 90 miles, north of 33 degrees and
80 minutes north latitude. The 35th
parallel of north latitude passes
through the southern part of Faalk
ner. just south of a line drawn
through Preston, Saltillo and Otto)
The history of the boil weevil north
of 33 l-2 north latitude indicates that
in normal years no serious damage
may be expected from this pest. OF
larly following mild winters. there
may be quite little damage from
the weevil; but this will rarely be
excessive, and certainly nothing like
as serious as weevil damage in the
sections adjacent to the Gulf coast.
With these facts in mind, we be-
lieve that whatever changes are made
in the farming system should have
the building up of the soil and living
at home as their chief ends, rather
than any direct fight against the
weevil. In other words, the best
thing that farmers and business men
can do will be to insist on sound
methods of farm management, and
when these have been inaungurated
the boil weevil problem will largely
take care of itself. These methods
will consist first of all in the produc-
ton of all the foods and feedstuffs
needed for man and beast and then
careful attention TO upbuilding the
soil by putting. if possible, a legume
crop on every acre every year. This
can be done by sowing peas or beans
in all the corn, using peas, beans or
lespedeza after the oats and wheat,

six months periods in market

sold higher than ever before In the
history OF the country, mich cows
were scarce and high and veal

before during the spring season.
At the beginning OF the year,
choice hogs brought 81 per cwt and
the recent top at Chicago was
$l035. On Jan. !. $1,000 was the
going price for fat lambs. and the
top for that kind was $3.50 at Chi

price throughout the spring, for
young lambs, has been higher than
ever before In the history Of the

meat in their coolers. Imports OF
fresh meat and live stock have
been negligible. The American la
boring man has been busy, and when
he works he eats meat.
One OF the chief reasons for the
high average price OF fat cattle has
been the absence from western mar
kets OF Texas cattle, which are al

beef. Texas had dry winter, and
cattle from that state are just be-

In connection with the hog mar
ket, nearly everyone went wrong.
Reports from all OF the leading hog
growing states made IL appear that
the country at large was full or
young hogs and the packinghouse
crowd set their winter prices at 81
or below. A few hogs crossed the
scales below 81 last December, but
the scene soon changed. Scarcity
OF beef. mutton and veal increased
the domestic demand for pork and
then export trade was the heaviest
ever known.
Toward rhe close OF the winter
packing season II was discovered
that the big cellars were less than
