couraged by the results.
However Mr.. ManeGo says, "thcre
is danger of some being decreased an
other year into trying too large an
acreage.
"rhe farmer should remember:
LIST. that the weevil has not been very
bad in this section this year, not
nearly so bad as we may expect him
to be neft. No one can give guaran-
tee of what the weevil will or will not
do. Many conditions determine this.
But no man is safe to overcrop him
self. Same are wishing they had
planted more cotton this year and
threatening to do so next.
BE careful my friends! There is
danger here.
Select land for next years cotton
where you have corn and velvet
beans. From Brabham peas as
peanuts this. This given proper
rotation
Select also good, we'll drained land
and plant a small acreage, not over
8 or ten acres to the pillow, and about
it is your duty otherwise and you can
farm cotton. profitably in spite of the
weevil on this surplus acreage grow
diversified crops such as are named
above and plenty of livestock. This
is the only way to farm any way, and
in these we manufacture the NUM-
tfon to control the boil weevil.

THIS farmer PUTS
FAITH IN HOGS
D. D. PEARCE OF SEVILLE BROKE
AWAY FROM COTTON TWO
AGO AND NOW HAS FINE ROGS.

ID. ID. Pearce, a progressive farmer
of near Seville, has forty fine hogs
on a peanut leld of six acres which
hogs promise 10000 pounds of pork
long before killing time rolls around
He brought these hogs through the
spring of green pasturage that held
time up fine. At the middle of Au-
gust they went into six acres of
Spanish peanuts and today they are
fine.
Mr.. Pearce was a cotton farmer till
1914. He promised to learn then how
to get along without cotton and only
small acreage has been planted on
his farm since. The peanuts and the
hogs, the beans, peas and grain are
taking their place of cotton on this
farm. He is watching his neighbors
go by smiling with their twenty-cent
cotton. One often tells him that he
ought to have some cotton to sell He
is waiting till "hog killing" time
Then there will be more to this story.

TWO DAYS BEFORE OUTBREAK
-CIVILIAN BOARD REPORTS.

Houston, Tex, Sept 11.-Negro sol
diers of the Twenty-fourth United
States infantry had planned a riot of
bloodshed among the white residents
of Houston two days before the dead
ly outbreak, which cost lives of fiji
teen Houston citizens Aug. %, ac-
cording to the report of the civilian
board of inquiry which reported to
the Houston City Council tonight.
The report adso crticises Superin-
tendent of Police Block for "his in
ability to enforce discipline among
the police" and declares that che is
not qualified for the position he
holds"
The committee is of the opinion
that the riot undoubtedly was preci-
plated b ytwo arrests of negroes
made by the police although suffi-
cient evidence was presented at the
hearing to reveal the fact that Sc
rious disturbance was intended by
some of the negro soldiers before
leaving Houston and the arrests of
fered an oportpunity simply to bring
il to a head sooner and perhaps in
Continuing, the committee says that
the "undisputed and convincing testi-
mony of witnesses prove that the ne
gro soldiers went forth to Stay the
white population indfscriminatefy
that no negro was hurt or molested
by them, not one negro home was
fired into and that the negroes were
warned before and during the riot
to stay off the streets.
"The testimony of the captain in
charge of the fire station at Camp Lo-
gan and one of his assistants is that
when the shooting began in the ne
gro camp one Of the negro guards sta
tione at the fire station remarked
that the troops were going to shoot
up Houston. that they had planned
to do so on the preceding Tuesday
night but could not get quite ready"
Concerning the superintendent of
police the report says:
''For Mr. Brock as an individual we
have the highest regard and it is no
reflection on his personal character
to say that in our opinion he is not
qualified for the position he holds"
