The president by proclamation
calls for 10000 volunteers for
service in the regular army. The
National Defense Council at
Washington has called upon the
State Defense Councils to cooper
ate with the United States army
recruiting officers in securing
volunteers to bring up the regu-
lar army to war strength of 300, :
600 men. The 10000 volunteers
called for by the president are
needed at once to complete the
regiments of infantry and field
artillery and to maintain them at
their full war strength.
In response to this call, the un-
dersigned member of the State
Defense Council of the State of
Louisiana, residing in the Alex
andria district, which district is
comprised of the following par
isles: Rapides, Grant, Vernon,
Natchitoches, Winn, Concordia,

Evangeline and st. Landry,

your attention.
This is volunteering for service
in the regular army and the en-
listments will be for the period

it concern the selective draft. 1t

Pick and Destroy Punctured Cotton
BOlls to Fight Boil Weevils-
The cotton boil weevil is a per-
manent insect pest over large
part of the cotton territory. Al
ready it is at work in the fields
of cotton that are forward
enough all over the parish in
both hills and lowlands. Re-
ports indicate the presence of
the weevil throughout t h Ell r
range on all of the older cotton.
The present national crisis
coupled with the unusually high
price which the cotton and seed
are now bringing, with every in
dication that high prices will
prevail in the fall, are sufficient
reasons for special precaution to
minimize the damage fro m
w e,evil infestation. Another
reason for giving cotton special
attention is the present drouth
which bids fair to materially
curtail the corn crop.
To make the damage from boil
weevils as small as possible it is
necessary to give the cotton fire.

through July to pick and destroy
punctured squares once a week.
1t is well in blowing to fasten a
board to the singletree, stock,
or cultivator in such a way as to
bend the stalks and shake the
weevils off ahead of the pillow
which will cover many of them.
A long singletree may do the
work without any other attach
ments. The value of this prac-
tice is great as many weevils
will perish in the hot, dry soil.

ment says, Intensive, shallow
cultivation should be practiced
and the cotton should never be
laid by until picking commences.
Late cultivation is very import.
