FIGHTING THE COTTON PEST

To grow cotton In spite OF the boil

foresight Of the men on the farms,
The following timely suggestions arc
offered concerning preparedness
against the cotton pest.
To make the best possible cotton
yields under boll-weevil conditions use
the medium-early big boiled varieties
Of cotton for hill farms and the small
earlier maturing varieties for low
lands.
Farmers living In weevil-free coun,
try will do well to plant locally grown
seed as far as possible, as seed i'm,
ported from infested areas is likely
to bring weeyils with It.
investigations conducted at the Mis-
sissippi experiment station recently
showed as many as 80 weevils to the
bushel found alternating in cotton
seed. Apparently the pest enters the
mature seed, eats out the soft parts
Of the inside and makes himself com
Portable for the winter. Where it is
necessary to use such seed much can
be done to control the weeyll by fumi
eating the seed before planting.

tLa number Of marriages would b

tie number of marriages would hs
doubled.
Every woman delights to be in her
coy best room to greet her admirer
when he calls From the moment he
enters the house until he leaves he
has not one dun moment-not an in
slant to think. Thus he may come
weeks, months and years without ad-
vancing past the friendship guide
post.
It is for clever women to take the
affair into their own hands at this
stage Of the game. Not by act or by
hint, but by clever subterfuge. In
stead of meeting him with out
stretched hands in greeting she should
try the absent treatment for half an
hour or so after having the message
delivered to him that she will be
down very soon" In those long, drag
ging moments of waiting a man would
have plenty of time to think,
The mind of the average man would
run something like this, after fidget-
ing about in his seat, his eyes glued
on the clock as the quarter hour
slowly dragged itself by frightening
into the half: What am | here for,
anyhow" And his heart would lose
no time in making answer: Because
this girl has grown so dear to me
without my realizing it that l feel
happy and contented only when she
is by my side" That half hour of
loneliness fills him with sudden fears.
Has she begun to weary Of his So
ciety? Is there some other Richmond
in the field?
Then and there he resolves to know
his fate ere he leaves her. He has
had time to study out the situation
and to realize that it is far more than
friendship which has been bringing
him to that home to spend his even
ings with that girl. 1t is love.
The leaven has worked well. 1t Is
he who hurries forward to greet her,
with flushed face, shining eyes and
hands outstretehed in ELUSIVE greet
ing. He hardly gives her time to seat
herself ere he whispers to her the
story forever old, yet so new, and
sweet to every pair of lovers.
Many a man is deeply in love with
out having the faintest notion of it,
More than one man has asked him
self that all-important question, What
am l here for?" When his steps
turned intutively to a certain home
in which resided young lady whose
companionship he found restful and
comforting Until man is brought
to a realization that his heart has
really slipped from him, he will not
propose marriage.

SO anxious to call or for the girl

She sees visions of moonlight strolls,

clasps her hand and whispers in her
ears the sweet story so old, yet so

There never was a truer saying

Each evening sweethearts HE them

feed from July 1920. A good northern
variety Of corn IS planted at the rate
of six quarts an acre May 10 to sup
ply feed from July 20-3O. Soy beans
planted at the rate OF 30 pounds per
acre May 80 to be fed August 1925.
Cowpeas FIVE pecks per acre July l
to be used August % to September 10.
Each Of these crops is planted at the
rate Of a quarter Of an acre for every
six or eight COWS. except sudan grass,
which does not give SO much feed, 50
that a third Of an acre is drilled in
stead Of a quarter Of an acre.
If It IS desirable to continue the
soillng until october or longer, some
of the plots may be reseeded to cow
peas. Sudan grass yields q second
crop, which may be cut by October.
Second growth clover and alfalfa may
be used for summer soiling. The sec
Ond crop Of alfalfa is usually cut be-
tween July and July Is in central
Missouri Field corn, If available, fur
uishes a large quantity Of green feed
after August l. Sorghum is a splen-
did crop for late soiling, and yields
heavily on average soils.
The summer silo is gaining favor
rapidly as supply source of a sufl-
! cient amount Of succulent feed. Many
dairy farmers feed silase every day
in the year and especially when pas
ture is not to be had A small silo
built and filled in the fall to be opened
in July is the most economical meth
cd Of supplying a succulent ration dur.
ing short pastures. Silage left over
from winter feeding may be kept
with very little loss until midsummer.
Cows should be fed from forty to fifty
pounds Of silage each day. Silage
alone does not furnish a balanced ra.
ton, so some grain should be fed,
especially to the cows that give the
most milk. At least one pound of
cottonseed meal should be included on
the daily grain ration.

EBy T. C. REED, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Statlon)
parry cows will produce more milk
and for a longer time when turned on
good grass pasture during the spring
months, though the cows have been
milking for several months. The
chief reason for this increase is that
good pasture grass provides an
abundance of succulent feed
It is a well-known fact that milk
production often decreases in many
dairy herds from a third to half
when the pasture grass becomes short
during the hot summer months. Short
pasture In Missouri often lasts from
the last week in June to the middle
of september. One of the big prob
lens Of the dairy farmer is to keep up
sht milk flow during this trying time
Ea can do so most economically by
providing an abundance of succulent
feed. Under conditions at the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station
succulent feeds may be provided dur
ing the shortage of pasture grass
either by growing green crops or hav-
ing silage available during this time.
Crops cut for green feed are called
soiling crops. On average lands one
acre of soiling crops Is equal to three
or four acres of good pasture and five
or six acres Of short pasture. The
average acre will produce from six to
ten tons of green feed in favorable
season. The average COW will eat
from fifty to sixty pounds OF green
feed day
After trying various schemes Of
planting different crops in succession
In order that there may be continu-
Gus supply OF green feed for the dairy
herd. the Missouri college Of agricul-
ture follows the plan of planting oats
and Canada peas at the rate Of five
pecks each per acre April %, to be fed
June 25-July 10. Another sowing Of
oats and Canada peas May provides
