ARKANSAS TEMPERATURES.

Arkansas, among other things, has
as wide range of temperature as
almost any state of the union. Ac-
cording to the figures compiled by the
United States weather bureau, the
highest temperature during the month
of September was 1O2 degrees on the
fourth at Lewisville, and the, lowest
was 30 degrees on the thirtieth at
Hemp Wallace. Hemp Wallace, a
thriving village not far from Hot
Springs, and Brinkley come in for
meteorological distinction by havinS
had the greatest daily range in tenn
perature As degrees. There were only
six days in the month when appre-
ciable rainfall occurred. Strange to
say, the strong prohibition town of
Searcy was the wettest place in the
state, with total Of ISL inches,
while Texarkana was the dryest, with
only SO of an inch.

OATS on EVERY FARM.

In most counties of Arkansas VIM
ter oats will produce as many dollars
worth of feed as will corn. The oat
straw will have a big value for feed
and fer bedding for farm animals and
thus add to supply of barnyard ma
nure. Following the oat crop cow
peas may be seeded for hay or for
blowing under, to be followed by oats
or wheat or with rye for winter pas
ture and this to he plowed under in
the spring and the field planted 10
corn or cotton.
The extension division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas and United States
department of agriculture has been
recommending winter oats for every
Arkansas farm, and this is about the
limit time. Ordinarily, it is not safe
to seed winter oats after October 20
in Northern Arkansas or November 1
in Southern Arkansas. Make good
seed bed and use drill If possible.

During tAe past season the boil vice.
vii caused the obstruction of several
thousand dollars worth of cotton
throughout Arkansas, and the farm
ers throughout the state who are in
terested in the control OF the boil
weevil in order to save the cotton
profits Of 1917 certainly can do no
better than to follow The advise of q
man who spends his time in studying
insects and knows the life cycle of
the boil weevil and the history Of
his activities better than any other
man in Arkansas.
Geo. G. Becker, state entomologist,
with the College of Agriculture of the
University of Arkansas, certainly
knows the weevil, and the following
information given by him can be fol-
lowed with best results, says Dean
Martin Nelson of the Arkansas exper
iment station at Fayetteville.
AS far as the cotton boil weevil is
concerned the 1917 cotton crop will be
in the balance from now until the
first Of November The control of the
weevil next year is largely destruc-
ton of the cotton stalks early this
fall and the closer we approach the
first of November VITA green cotton
stalks in the field the greater will be
the damage of the weevil next year.
An Unusual Opportunity.
Farmers of Arkansas are very for
tunate in having their cotton picking
season open the earliest in pears, and
if those who are located in the belt
where the weevil has caused heavy
damage will take advantage of the OPP
portunity they will rush cotton pick
ing as fast as possible so that the
cotton stalks can be disposed of be-
fore November 1.
Importance of Practice.
No one single practice in boil Wee
vii compares in Importance to the
early destruction OF cotton stalks. 1t
is not only the most important prac-
tice but it's effect is probably as far
reaching as all the other practices
put together.
The planting of suitable varieties
of cotton, the early and thorough pre-
paration of the seed led next year.
early planting, thorough cultivation,
the use of fertilizers and the picking
OF infested squares may all be OF SER
vice in keeping down boil weevil
damage, but they loose their force II
they have not been preceded by the
early disposition Of cotton stalks the
year before.
The weevils which develop within
the next six weeks stand between this
species and extinction. These will he
the weevils which will be depended
upon to carry the species over from
one season to the next. Within this
period. the cotton planter will have
the destiny of the weevil in his own
hands. He can nearly annihilate it or
he can give it abundant opportunity
to perpetuate itself.
Cut and Burn Stalks.
AS soon as cotton picking can be
gotten out of the way the stalks
should be cut, dried and burned and
the stumps should be uprooted so that

CONTROL TIE 1917 BOIL WEEVIL

no sprout cotton will come up. Better
than this practice would be turning
the stalks under. Where this is to
be effective, however, every bit of the
stalk should be under the ground to a
depth of two inches or more. When
fall destruction Of cotton talks is
resorted to, the weevil stages which
are developing in the squares and
hollis will be destroyed. All cotton
will be removed so that the mature
weevils will not have any food supply
and they will starve before the year
is out. At the same time there will
have been no squares and bolls for
them to deposit eggs in. Thus the
weevils will have been deprived of a
medium for developing their over
wintering generation and at the same
time they themselves will go into the
winter in such a starved and weaken
ed cond ton that it will be almost
impossible for any of them to survive.
Clean Tn Fence Rows.
In order to make it especially hard
for the few half-starved weevils to
get through the winter care should
be taken to eliminate, as far as POS
sible, all favorable over wintering
quarters. It should be remembered
that the boil weevil is q tropical in
sect. In order to pass the winter sue
cessfully it must have snug winter
quarters.
Weedy fence rows, ditch banks and
waste places with a tn ok dry mat of
vegetation will serve as the best over
wintering quarters for them. Wheth-
err fall destruction of cotton stalks is
practiced or not, we will be able to
get some benefits from the elimi1a-i
ton of such snug insect quarters.
Many other insects such as cut
worms, the adults of drill worms,
grasshoppers, etc. will also be seek
ing such places.
After November l.
In order to- be effective, The fall
destruction of cotton stalks should be
done by November /. At 'er this time
the destiny of the boil weevil may re
said to pass from the hands t'f the
cotton farmer to the hands Of Nature.
What happens from this Tina on
until the next season will depend
upon the season. Cold wet seasons
will be conducive to high death
rate among weevils. Warm speels fol-
lowed by sudden drops in tempera-
lures will be. fatal to all of them.
These factors, however. are not de-
rendatle. They may be favorable to
the weevil and they may be favora' le
to the farmer. To trust them is to
trust to luck; the only way to play
safe is to act before November the
first.

But they didn't. They went to the

This is how it happened: A pio-
neer immigrant from Sweden located
in the Northwest The country looked
good to him, and, being ready let
ter writer, he constantly and inces-
sanity wrote letters to the papers Of
old Sweden, in which he doomed the
country to fare-tnee-well. This
went on for several years, during
which others who arrived also wrote
letters to the home papers.
The consequence was that every

thought of the Northwest
This is an example of how town

PRAISE FOR GRAPHIC.

appears to have met with popular
approval. Among the numerous en-
couraging encomiums received IS
one from Mayor Simon Bloom, who
writes under date of yesterday as
follows: h ,..qz...,-.,ts.,
your special edition of The
Braphic in the interest of Jefferson

wonderful advertisement for this en-
tire community, that want to, offer

only regret that l have is the fact
that the city of Pine Bluff cannot af-
ford at this time to get up mailing
list of at least half million and send
same out to the people that want to
find Gods country. | believe that a
paper of this kind sent thru the West
would have the result of bringing
more people to our county than got
ten up in pamphlet form. ! am in
hopes that others will appreciate this

that something will be done towards

That The Graphic's efforts in be-
half of the city and county are con-
sldered worthy of such kindly express
sions of appreciation is indeed graf
flying. While The Graphic realizes
the edition was not without it's short

pose for which it was intended was
achieved: To present to persons d
