the winter are ready to attack
the cotton IS soon as the squares
are formed in the Spring. A
small hole is eaten in the square
or boil by the female and an egg
deposited in it. She then seals
the hole up air tight so the egg
will be sure to hatch. In about
10 or Is davs after the egg is de-
posted the full grown weevil
cuts its way to the outside world
Owing to the fact that it requires
only from 10 to IL days for the
weevils to reach maturity fully
five generations will be develop
ed in one season. Since each fe-
male lays something as high as
two hundred eggs it is easy to
see why the weevils are so nu-
merous during the summer
months. SO as stated above the
best way to fight the boil weevil
is to hasten the cotton tc matu-
rity before the number of weev-
lis is increased. The hot sun
kills a number of weevils when
the weather is dry, so frequent
cultivation which helps to make
the cotton mature, also knocks
off lot of weevils into the mid
dies where the hot sun kills
them. Also, picking up the first
squares and burning them will
help to delay the increase for a
few weeks giving the bolls time
to grow. The weevils will get
the last squares and bolls but if
we can keep them in check until
the first ones are we'll on the
way to maturity we will make a
very good crop of cotton in
spite of the weevil.
In order to follow the above
plans farmer can not plant
large acreage in cotton. From
the experiences of the last few
years we are taught that it is
better to plant a small amount
of cotton and be sure of making
any. Plenty of food, feed, and
a good living first, then as mnch
as we can work successfully.

HOLLY GROVE PITCHER SLIDES
Bill fincher. the YOUNG
Monroe County Ball
Player, Is Shelved.

William Allen Fincher, former
hurler of the Little Rock club,
has been released by the Browns
to Portland club in the Pacific
Coast League. w. J. Connor
tells the story in Sunday issue of
the Post Dispatch. But the
Browns haven't turned loose
all holts" on Fincher; there's a
joker in the deck which says Bill
can be brought back if he learns
that baseball is business and
not the staging of a scenario in
which Bill plays the hero.
O'Connor's story of Fincher
follows is part:
The release of Bill Fincher
was the only surprise of the day.
When the Browns pitched their
camp at Palestine, Texas, last
spring, Bill Fincher had it over
everybody else in camp like a
tent. He had speed, curves and
control, and everybody from
Fielder Jones to Jimmy Austin

Among the Farmers

One of the most interesting
farm propositions I've seen lately
is the Farmers Prize List"
which has been published by A.
F. Maberry the pioneer Woodruff
county land owner. He hangs
up about $l00 in cash prizes
for his tenants for 1917 and
offers to them for the best acre
of corn, $500, BEST acre of
cotton $780," best bushel of
potatoes, best water melon, best
fenced garden and yard, etc on
down the line.
In addition to this Mrs. Ma
berry offers S. in gold for the
tenant that keeps the most sani-
tary premises, another prize for
the most beautiful flower yard,
etc
Now this looks good to me and
in as much as the awarding of
these prizes is to be left by Mr..
and Mrs. Mabarry to 3 disinter-
ested persons. | am going to
watch it with great deal of
interest. | am sure that this
method is going to have strong
influence in the Maberry neigh
borhood and Id like to see some
of our Brinkley land lords try it.
here. Who'll do it,?
I'm wondering just why it is
that the two Brinkley banks do
not take the lead in putting a
car load of fine blooded breeding
cattle into this territory, just at
this season. Somebody must
take the lead in this progressive
step and the banks could do it
just a little better than anyone
else. They could let be known
that they would bring in a car
load of fine blooded cattle for
breeding purposes and would sol
to the farmers at ABSOLUTELY
first cost and would sell on a
credit to responsible men, if de-
sired and wouldn't be at all hard
to place the cattle. Something
must he done along this line.
If we had live Chamber Of
Commerce or any other eemmH
nifty organization it could cas-
be handled by them but 10 the
absence of this organization VIII
not the banks do the work?

ANOTHER BUSINESS CHANGE
Jacob Lamm Purchases In

And still the changes are
coming in Brinkley business cir
cles.
The latest is the purchase by
Jacob Lamm of the interest of
j. H. Stack in the Lamm & Co.,
store formal notice of which
change appears elsewhere.
This change was made necess-
ary because of Mr.. Stack being
engaged in the work as post
master.
Mr.. Lamm has been in active
charge of the business for the
past year and will now buckle
on the harness with renewed
force.

Prominent Official Visits
Brinkley

Mr.. Alexander Jackson, Gen.
eral immigration Commission of
the Rock Island Lines, with
headquarters in Chicago, was a
visitorin Brinkley on Wednesday.
Mr.. Jackson was for IL years
or more Representative of the
Rock Lines in Europe and re-
turned to America only since the
war, becoming head of the I'm
migration Department in Ameri-
ca.
Mr.. Jackson reports that the
state of Arkansas is attracting
more attention now than prob
ably any other state in the Union.
That he has had many splendid
reports on the result Of the re-
cent statewide advertising done
by the Arkansas on Wheels train
tour thro' the north and east to
Washington. d. C. That in one
Arkansas county alone he knows
of the purchase of 20, 900 acres
of cut over lands by northern
capitol who are colonizing.
Mr.. Jackson, while in Brink
ley, met several of our progress
slve citizens and took notes on
hrinkley. its needs, opportuni-
ties, etc. Said he in reference
to the open square or plaza, "how
in the world do you people let
that plot of ground lay out with
out identifying and improving
it? 1t is such wonderful op-
portunity for you to advertise
your town to the many thousand
of people who travel thro' Brink
ley each year" Mayor Greenlee
told him that the city of Brink
ley intended to turn over the
south half or triangle Of the
plaza to the Rock Island Ry. to
beautify and make into a park
and the citizens were going
to assume the task of taking
the north part and out do the
Rock Island in the work of park
ing.
Mr.. Jackson is on tour thro'
the South and West just now.

risked their precious prophetic
regulations on the tip that Finch
er would stand the good old
American League on it's ivory
thought-tower.
There's the finest pitching
prospect have ever seen," said
Fielder Jones one day after
watching Fincher pitch 'em past
Dal Pratt and George Sisler, who
were humping the pill right
regularly. He's got everything
and he's willing to learn" Jones
added, and I'll miss my guess if
he doesn't make good.
But Bob Connery has aptly
remarked that the only sure way
of determining the capabilities
of a minor league star is to take
an Ex-ray of his abdominal re-
gions, and this seldom is done.
Fincher lost his speed, his curve
and his unerring control once he
was shunted to Hurting Hill at
Sportsman's Park, and now he's
destined for another year in the
minors.
However a string has been re-
tanned and Fincher will be back
again next fall. if he shows an
inclination to lose some of his
self-consiousness. He's got to
forget himself and acquire more
poise on the pitching peak before
he will be worth a damson plum
in the fast set.
