The fact that there is nothing es-

which DR.. de Sanfort's method rests
makes its success all the more sur

idea which is as old as the art OF
medicine. that nature is the only

nature by removing obstacles from

BEATING THE WEEYIL.

1t takes work to accomplish any
thing, and nearly always it takes
work along definite lines
1t takes work, too, to beat the boil
weevil-work, earl and late and
plenty of it.
uBt it has been demonstrated that it
can be beaten
All the pamphlets of advice, and all
the editorials, and all the speeches
in the world will never rid cotton
patch of a single boil weeyil. But
simple, steady methods, employed at
the right time, will turn the trick.
The experience of Mr.. R. T. Math-
ews, of near Smithville, who will
make 80 bales of cotton on 80 acres
|. in spite or severe weevil conditions
is only another proof of tie fact that
the boil weevil Is no menace to farm
er who makes up his mind to fight
to win
Mr. Mathews plowed under his
stalks or burned them last fall, plant
ed early, cultivated often, and picked
the squares industriously. That's the
whole story. He used no magic, NJ
science, no complicated system. He
merely fought the weeyil along intel
ligent lines, persistently and deter
minedly. And he won. He not only
conquered, but in the end he achieved
better results than most farmers Sc
cure where there is no weevil menace
at all.
The results accomplished by Mr.
Mathews afford an inspiration to ev
cry farmer who is willing to work
and who is open to advice By n,
other way is it possible to grow cot
ton successfully where the boil weevi
is abroad in the land.
