CLEAN UP THE
COTTON FIELDS
DESTROY STALKS AND GET RID
OF ALL WEEDS WILL REDUCE
BOIL WEEVILs NEXT YEAR.

Washington, d. c., Oct 30.-Next
years boil weevils can be fought very
effectively today. The Bureau OF En-
tomology of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture urges that all
weed andVubbish be cleaned out of cot
ton fields throughout the South at
this time All stalks still standing in
the field should be destroyed by the
time frost or as soon thereafter as Ios-
sible This cleaning up will decrease
the possible destruction of boil Wee
wills next year. The species is great
" reduced in numbers this year, but
although the boil weevils strength is
weakened at present he will try to re-
gain some ground next year To des-
troy weeds rubbish and stalks now is
to destroy to large extent his pros
pectiye arm for that drive next sea-
son.
A concerted campaign throughout
the South if taken up Immediately
and pressed vigorously, will save a
considerable amount of cotton next
summer. Quick action is the watch
word for this work Reports to the
Bureau of Entomology from all field
men in the cotton belt and from state
entomologists Indicate that this has
been one Of the lightest boil weevil
years since the pest entered the coun-
try The only sections in which the
damage has been comparatively heavy
are the Sea Island sections of Florida
and Southern Georgia, and the north
ern portions of the Mississippi Delta.
The cold weather of the early part of
1916 caused a falling back of the Wee
vii around the entire limits of its dis
persion last year and resulted IN
great reduction of weevils throughout
tn South. However, about August /,
weeyils began to regain some of this
territory and reports indicate that
there viii be some points which have
remained infested throughout the year.
These places viii be foci for desper-
sion this fall. Therefore, it is very
important that concerted campaign
be undertaken now to clean up the
fields and lessen further the bofl wee.
vii damage next year. &

FOOD SAVING IS
NOW ON in EARNEST
THE GREATEST EFFORTS OF THE
TIMES MADE TO SAVE FOOD
EVERYWHERE.

Atlanta Ca, Oct 30.-Thousands
of Atlanta housewives are today
signing the Food Pledge Card of the
United States Government by which
they promise to use the means at
their disposal to aid in conserving the
Nations food supply.
Throughout Georgia the cam
paign to secure signatures of house
wives is now in progress having been
started yesterday in many commune
tiles and started today in others.
Americas supply of food in certain
lines such as wheat, sugar, beef and
fats-is running dangerously low,
and unless the American people exer-
else the most careful economy in the
use of these foods there will not be
enough for this country and the AL
lies.
England, France, Italy and other
Allied nations arebuying our food at
cur prices, but unless we have food
to spare, they cannot buy it, and their
armies will collapse, which would
leave America to bear the blunt of
the war alone. Hense the Govern
ment of the United States is exerting
every effort to enroll the housewives
in volunteer movement to save the
food supplies. especially certain arti-
cles of food which are running very
low
To obtain their signatures on the
Food Pledge Card, which is all the
Government asks, corps Of workers
have been organized in every state,
county and city, and the greatest
house-to-house canvass in American
history is now being made.

THE NATIONAL TEACHER.

Just now the United States depart ment of agriculture is national teacher and a good one. The cam paign of the department to instruct Americans as to the proper use of food, so that it will Ego further" anl it's unrelenting emphasis upon th', fact that we are nation of wasters in foodstuffs ond that this is no year for waste, most certainly will bear positive fruit.
 "Try new foods; don't be finicky, 7 says one bulletin, which points out that too many of us get into ruts as to food, demanding pretty near the same thing day after day, so that when a scarcity occurs in that kind of food, we are unwilling to try other food equally as good.
 This is thought that is we'll worth being acted upon by everyone. Crocerymen tell us that it is hard to induce the public to try new foods. Standard staples" are always in great demand; and at the same time staples that are equally as nutri- tious go to waste.
 This was the case with rice. When potatoes went sky-high in price, mil lions of people protested and howled about the high cost of living; yet these same millions simply wouldn't take to rice, food that is so sus taining that more millions than arg in our country live upon it almost exclusively in Asia. And rice is and has been cheap. The same rule ap- plies to corn; as wheat goes up ir price, corn can displace it as a foo ] in many sections where today it is almost entirely unknown. Corn IS widely used as a cereal in the South today, but in the North is seldom met with. It is cheap compared with wheat, and is so sustaining that ths athletic and healthy Indians used t. depend upon corn meal exclusive', for nourishment.
 Don't insist on sticking to the sam; kind of food week after week It.: unnecessary and costly.
