FORCES
APPEAL FOR FUNDS
Issue Statement Calling For F0lun-
trary Contributions to Continue the
Prohibition Campaign During the
Present Year

The Moscow branch of the W. c. 7.
U. has been asked to contribute to the
fund for carrying on the campaign
for prohibition during the present
year, and has issued an appeal to
persons outside the union to aid in
the movement. The following state
ment has been issued by the local
union:
The North Idaho Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union has asked that
the Moscow union raise 500 for the
campaign fund of 1915 We have less
than 80 members who pay 81 year
for temperance work, but these dues
cannot apply on the campaign fund.
The local union are asking 100 women
not members of the union and who
for various reasons feel that they can
not join, to give a dollar this year.
Idaho is dry but unless we work our
best the next legislature may re-.
verse the decision.
1--WE feel it not unreasonable to ask
every woman who can do so who has
a husband, brother son or daughter
to give a dollar this one year to keep
Idaho dry forever. We will all reap
the benefit from Idaho dry. Let us
take pride in helping to make it SO.
Contributions may be paid to Mrs.
Eunice Knapp, of the Baptist church,
Mrs. David Urquhart of the Method
ist church, Mrs. Joseph Aspray of the
church, Miss Margaret
Reeder of the Presbyterian church,
Mrs. J. F. Barnes of the Christian
church, or to any other members OF

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The Lusi-

and Germany now await only the ar
rangement of technical details for a
satisfactory ending. America will
cable its acceptance of the last Ger

of the satisfactory termination of a
dangerous controversy. The contents
will probably remain a secret.
1t is understood that Colonel House
emphasized the German feeling
against further negotiations which
would demand a resumption of unre-
strained submarine warfare and a
sentiment that a severance of diplom-
attic relations would inevitably result
in war. Ambassador Gerard also for

TIMELY FARM L
BY ]. E. RUFF
County Demonstration Agent
]. E. RUFF

From the present outlook it
seems that we are going to have
q bad ~infestation Of boil weevils
in Lee county this season. l
have found weevils in practically
every cotton field inspected. If
the rainfall in July and August
is up to the average we may ex-
pect weevils in great numbers
and there is no doubt that it will
affect the cotton very materially
If the farmers Of Lee county
are to make a fight on the weevil
now is the time to do it. There
are only two ways to fight the
weevil successfully. First, by
rapid and shallow cultivation. in
order to hold sufficient moisture
in the soil and to insure a rapid
growth and fruiting before the
weevils increase in sufficient
numbers to destroy the crop.
The second way to fight the Vice.
wills is. to collect the fallen and
punctured squares and burn
them. This is not expensive. 1t
should not cost over two dollars
per acre for the season.
Cultivate each week up to Sept.
1, using heel sweeps and spring
tooth cultivators. Avoid deep
cultivation or anything that will
tend to make the cotton shed.
Remember that it is the bottom
crop, or first crop of boil forms.
that stand the best chance to
reach maturity under weevil con-
ditions. Poison and devices for
capturing weevils have proven
worthless, so leave them alone.
A small brush or bunch of canes
tied to the slngletree or culti-
vator. projecting far enough to
strike the cotton plants, will do
lots of good by way of knock
ing off weeyils and punctured
squares.
One female weevil will pune
ture about 140 squares during
the season. 1t requires from Is
to 20 days, depending on weather
conditions, to complete the life
cycle, from the time the egg is
deposited in the square, until the
fully grown weevil energies.
WeeviIs can be found more read
ilv early in the morning and late
in the afternoon. The weevll
damage is usually found in spots
around old houses, fences or
stumps. Locate these infested
spots and pick the p%unctured
squares once a week for six or
eight weeks. Do not think be-
cause the cotton is not shedding
that you haven't any weevils.
Sometimes punctured squares
will remain on thrifty cotton
: plants for a number of days.
The question is often asked if
one farmer makes the fight
and his neighbors do not, will
. the one doing this work be bene-
fitted. The answer is Yes as
the weevils that come out from
Information do not travel very
far from where they wintered.
It is only the new generation,
that comes later in the season,
that migrate to new fields. What
lever fight we expect to make,
now is the time to do it. One
weevil destroyed now is equlva-
J lent to 10, 600 destroyed in Sep
