The boil weevil hit some counties In
West Tennessee pretty hard this year
Those who work with cotton all Of the
time say that the boil weevn will come
next year harder than it did this year
That is history.
Every part of Tennessee has its boil
weevil-some evil that comes when
the one-crop system OF farming is fol
lowed. II may be a weed pest, and
again 1t may be some insect. But evil
follows system Of farming that tears
down the land.
West Tennessee presents TO US
county that is coming back, that is
building for the future. An active mer,
chant of that county, seeing that on
farm prosperity depends his prosperity,
says some things in q full-page adver.
tisement in the county papers that, II
looked at In the light of conditions in
any county in Tennessee, may be ap
piled by every reader of this column.

Experience Is the best teacher, but
are we going to sit idly by and get this
experience, or are we going to take
advantage of the other fellows expe'

What To Do-Study the weevil, get
bulletins concerning the weevil and in.
form yourself what is the very best
thing to do We have Q few bulletins
and will have more. Ask for them or

What To Do Now-Disk your cot.
ton stalks Immediately and turn them
under completely. Sow wheat as a
soil protection and for a money crop
next year Destroy the winter home
of the weevil by burning weeds along
roadside, ditch banks, fence rows, in
thickets and around stumps.
What To Do Lster-With the boil
weevil to axht, you can not successful
iy grow as large acreage of cotton a.
before. Prepare to substitute other
crops for some OF cotton next year.
Produce on your farm what you eat,
and some to sell the town fellow.

Arrest of Four Men
May Disclose a German
Spy System in America
Bv Associatcd PreSs

New York. June 4. With four
men under arrest who are alleged to
be only minor figures in a conspir-
acy to transmit information of mill
tary value from the United States to
Germany through neutral mail chan
nels, the federal authorities and city
detectives to-day Indicated further
arrests which they said might result
in disclosures of German spy sys-
tenn. Apparently the government
officers hoped they could uncover an
explanation of how Germany knew
in advance of the approach of the
American destroyers to the British
coast so that an Irish port could be
mined.
The charge against the three
men are present." United States AS
sistant District Attorney John C.
Knox, said, 'is that of competing
with the government by carrying
mail in opposition to the govern
ment." Mr.. Knox added that the
charge might be changed to treason.
Two of the men are said to be
American born and a third a natur-
allied citizen of Sweden. EXamin-
alton of quantity of mails said by
federal agents indicated transmission
of information on steamships to
Mexico and thence possibly by wire
less to Germany.
The fourth, described as the son
of Germany army captain, was ar
rested this morning. The police re-
fused to reveal his identity prior to
his arraignment.

bearing the members of the. COM
mission"
Within a week, ten days at the
latest, 1t is believed that the Root
party will be in the Russian capital.
Its members have been engaged in a
race against time to Petrograd. AS
quickly as the fastest obtainable
trains and steamships can take them
they are hurrying there in an effort
to be present with such advice and
assurances as they find the Russians
willing to accept and in an affort to
steady the situation before German
intrigue can bring about either a sep
arate peace or the breakdown of the
Russian military machine.
The commission left Wash
ington about May Is, charged with
greetings to the new democratic gov
ernment of Russia. and authorized to
pledge unstinted aid from the United
States not only in the prosecution of
war against the common enemy, but
in the rehabilitation of the demoral-
lied country. 1t was preceded by a
special mission of railroad experts,
whose arrival already has been an
nounced.
After a final conference between
President Wilson and Mr.. Root, the
commissioners Travelled overland to
the Pacific coast and there boarded
fast naval vessel for the voyage to
the Orient. Under the voluntary
censorship, at the request of the gov
ernment, nearly all American news
papers refrained from publishing
anything about their departure or
the points through which they pass
ed along the way. While no German
submarines are known to be operat-
ing in the Pacific, it was deemed wise
to print no details of the trip until
the voyagers were safely landed
The arrival of the Mission at Petro-
grad is awaited anXiously, because it
is confidently believed here that the
assurances it brings from the Amer
lean government and the people and
the counsel of it's members will do
much toward steadying and strength
ening the hands OF the provisional
