At Mercy of Planter.

"Weevils are at the mercy Of the
planter in the fall as they are at no
other time" says Farmers Bulletin
S4S. "The Boil Weevil Problem" re-
Gently issued by the department. If
the farmer desires to kill these insects
then he can do so. If it is not .prac-
ticable to burn the stalks they can
still be uprooted, thereby destroying
the greenwood supply of the weevils
and preventing the further increase of
the insects. The cotton then can be
picked as the supply of labor permits.
Fall destruction of weevils insures a
crop for the following season."
This measure of control, it is point
ed out. cannot be applied alike to all
infested regions. Ii Is the greatest
Importance in localities of the extreme
South where the boll-weevil problem is
most serious. Farther north the cold
er winters make this step less impOr-
tant. As the practicability of fall de-
struction depends upon the supply of
labor available and upon the size of
the paintings, it is measure partic-
ularly applicable to the southern and
southeastern parts of the cotton belt
where the cotton fields are small and
labor is sufficiently plentiful to per-
form the work in ample time.

THINNING Fruit.

Just when to thin fruit and what
kinds and varieties need most atten-

ditions.
The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1917-10-06

If every cotton grower having
weevil-infested fields would push cot
ton picking to early completion and
then destroy the cotton plants before
the boil weevil hibernate, the destruc-
tive work of the insect the following
year would be largely minimized.
Hand in hand with early fall de-
struction of weevils goes the practice
of planting cover crops after the
stalks have been removed. Such crops
not only improve the soil but furnish
feed of a kind Southern farmers now
need. Thus the proper step to take
in controlling the boil weevil will In
crease the production of forage and
assist greatly in the production OF
meat

counties except L.amoille and Orange
are covered by municipal and city

each year. These city and municipal |

than they did in 1901 and $4,000 more
than they did in 1907. so the increase
was $4,000 in the first seven years
and only $4,000 in the last nine years
We have now sixteen Of these

are less than that n litigant has to

Probably this is Why the lawyers OBJ

where man can get his case tried at
small expense to him and no more
expense to the State, so that the old

In the last two years 90 cases were

36 cases where the jury rendered a

Judge per year in the superior court.
People who have been fortunate
hough to have cases in the munich

THE CATHOLIC

organ Germania of Berlin, says that
the Catholic center in the Reichstag
has decided by an overwhelming ma
tority to support Matthias Erzberger,
who. last week. attacked the Fan
Germans and ad, coated peace without
annexations or indemnities. Herr Err
bercer's object, the newspaper says, is
to induce the Reichstag to make dec
laration of war aims in the sense that
Germany has not gone to war for con
quest but merely to defend its free
dom and preserve its territorial pos
sessions.
The Germania adds that the Cham
cellor has accepted the idea and that
the formation of a coalition ministry
is being prepared Thus. it says. unity
between the people and the govern
ment will be realized.

remains possible The legation dis
patches are not clear as to whether
President Lii, reported to have fed to

safety has returned to his office or
whether acting President I'eng kWo

now to be no reason, however, why
Ii should not take over the authority

Chang made his theatrical coup.

it is thought that now that the repub-

storm, he will retire from office Aper-

Inquiry will undoubtedly be made to
determine the source of Chang's sup
port. On June % he asked the Japan
csc ambassador at Pekin what Japan's
attitude would be towards a restora-
ton of the monarchy and received the
reply that Japan was not concerned
with internal Chinese affairs. A few

Japan that German money had been
