NEGRO BEATS THE WEENL

A negro planter near Mont

weevil bested. John McDuffle is
his name. and the past season he
had ESQ acres of fine cotton, free
Of the weevil pest. His story of
how simple method kept the in
sect out of his fields is as follows ::
He takes crude oil, tar and cam
phor gum. He puts these in a
pot and boils them. With suffi-
cient oil in the mixture to make it
liquid. he wets common crccus
sacks in the mixture and sqreezes
them as dry as he thinks neces-
sary. He says if too much of
the mixture is used it will kill the
young cotton. The wet sacks are
fastened by drag stick attached
W hilC PlOWOSdlli. IsdCU WEEK IDt
crop is plowed and dragged over
with these saturated sacks, both
sides of the cotton getting a touch
from the fumes of the mixture
On going down one side the sack
touches lightly one side, and when
the plow returns it touches the
other side.
This method costs about Is
cents an acre, McDuffle says. He
says he used the method with sue.
cess in 1915, and that he got five
more bales per horse last year by
having the weevils out of the way
If it is success, and it seem
ingly is. this negro has solved {
problem that has confronted tn,

past 10 years.

Wonan's Taste.

A cultivated taste marks a wo
man of elegance and refinement,
as decidedly as knowledge Of
classical literature does a gentle
man and there Is nothing in
which female vulgarity is more
clearly shown than in want OF
taste.
This is an axiom that we think
will not admit of dispute but il
is question, how far taste is natu-
raj and how far it may be acquired.
A delicate taste must, to a GER
tain extent. depend upon the or
ganization of the individual and
it is impossible for any rules to be
laid down which will impart taste
to persons entirely devoid of it.
But this is very seldom the case
with women, as it is one of the
few points in which women natu-
rally excel men.
Men may be, and probably are
superior to women in all that re.
quires profound thought and gen.
eral knowledge but in the ar.
rangement of a house, and the in
trodu ction of ornamental furni.
ture and articles of bijouterie
there can be no doubt of the in
nate superiority of woman.
| Everyone must have remarked
the difference in the furnishing o.
a bachelors house and one whers
a lady prcsides the thousand lit
tie elegancies of the latter, though
nothing in themselves, adding
like ciphers, prodigiously to tn,
value of the solid articles they ar
appended Tex.

February is the critical tire III
preparing the spring garden. con-
'equently it is highly important
nat everything be in readiness TO
liant the harder vegetables some
time during that month. The
difference OF 4 few days in plant
ing may mean great difference
in the date Of harvesting later in
the spring.
It IS necessary that tomato
plants be started in the hotbed not
later than February Isl, while
cabbage plants, garden peas, tur-
nips, radishcs, beets, carrots,
potatoes. aud many o.htr hardy
plants are quite safe in The open
field i'll February almost anywhere
in Mississippi In many sections
peas have already been started,
and cabbage plants are almost
ready for planting. 'fhe latter
iart of February is favorable
time for setting strawberry plants.
The hotbed for growing sweet
potatoe plants sh)ula BE- made
re ,dy, SO that il ctn be used early
in March.
While the ground IS too wet for
blowing and planting is the best
time TO make plans for all the
year round garden. II the great
est possible amount of prodnee is
to be grown it is essential that
something be grown on every
square yard of ground every sea-
son OF the year. Have the seed
ready, and prepare the ground in
order to avoid delay when planting

Added Evidence Of American Pros
perity.

peIity.
Everyday brings evidence that
the American public are willing
to pay for the things the people
really want.
i'.r many months newspaper
and magazine publishers have
been hard pressed, because of the
tremendous increase in the price
of white paper. In many cities
one cent newspapers have raised
their price to two cents without
any appreciable falling off of cir
culation, but the most striking
example of the public's willing
ness to pay an increased price for
a better product occurred last
month, when the publishers OF
Cosmopolitan, Americas Greatest
Magazine, determined that, in
stead of cutting the quality OF the
magazine, they would print an
even better magazine and increase
the price.
Over a million people have been
buying Cosmopolitan for many
years at Is cents, copy, and,
with the greatly improved Febru-
ary issue more people paid 20 cts.
for Cosmopolitan than had ever in
| its history purchased the naga'
zine at Is cents.
| How such magazine can be
produced, sold for 20 cents and
paw a profit to the producers is a
modern industrial problem, es-

Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellows willin'
Sail right in, this countrys free.
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's just yours much as his

You get in the booster biz.
If things don't seem to suit you
An the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with boostin
Just to help the thing alongi
Cause if things should stop again,
We'd be in sorry plight,
You just keep the horn blowing
Boost her up with all your might.
