Inquiry-"How would you fertili7e
to beat the boil weevil to the cotton?"
In growing cotton under boil weevil
conditions, several factors must be
given consideration. The land should
be well drained and we'll supplied with
vegetable matter. Good seed Of va
riety adapted to the locality should
be chosen, and, Of course, variety
that will mature its fruit quickly and
resist wilt should be planted. Fer
tilizs literally. and properly cultivate.
On the heavier soils. such as the red
clays and clay loans, the use OF a fer
tilixer carrying 10 per cent TO II per
cent phosphoric acid, 3 TO per cent
nitrogen and a small per cent of pot
ash, II It can be had, should be used.
Amply at the rate Of $50 TO 400 pounds
DER acre. On lighter soils in which
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are
all usually deficient, fertilizer carry
ing all three elements is desirable.
Use 10 to L. per cent phosphoric acid.
3 or per cent nitrogen and j or ?
per cent potash, at the rate OF 500 to
400 pounds to the acre.

Recently a Southern fertilizer con-
Germ obtained a large order for acid
phosphate from Holland at $50 per ton.
Contrast this $500 per ton with $4,000
per ton paid by the Southern farmer.
If the Dutch farmer can afford to
pay sos per ton for acid phosphate
and make it pay, how much more can
a Southern farmer obtain when he
can buy about three times as much
phosphate with the same money?
Dutch farmers are shrewd and thrift.

The Special Session.
From the Shreveport Caucasian


1t is now a foregone conclusion
that special session cf the Legisla-
ture will be held in the near future.
There have been given several pre-
texts for the session, but, as sug-
gested, the primary object is to revise
the widows dowry law in order that
it may be made to conform to every
essential of the farm loan system.
Another pretcxt is that there must
be provided some system of revision
of the law applying to the Nationa!
Guard, whose members. or at least
the majority, have been incorporated
into the military service of the United
States, as if the present law was not
sufficient to enlist citizens in the
State National Guard.
And another pretext is a revision
CT the finances of the state, but of
greatest interest is what scheme po-
litical will be developed.
Extra sessions of the Legislature
are costly and should be called only
to meet some emergency, which does
not at this time exist in the state.
In order to influence the Governor
to accede to this call for an extra
session, there have been held con-
ferences of the interested. A few
days since there was held in
Baton Rouge a convention, socalled
Of farmers, at which there were
twenty-one persons in attendance.
What they lacked in numbers they
supplied with whereas and resolutions

Free Speech.

An old negro woman had lived with
certain family in the south for many
years. One day her mistress had occa-
sion to reprimand her quite sharply for
something that had gone wrong. The
nesress said nothing ut the time, but
Il little later her voice could he heard
in the kitchen in shrill vituperation of
everything and everybody, with a rat
Ting accompaniment Of pans and ket-
ties. So loud became the clamor and
so vindictive the explanations that

kitchen.

The Austria newspapers have an

Hon. Herbert c. Hoover is cred
tied with having said that food spec
ulators have been robbing the people
at the rate Of s5O,0O0,000 per month.
President Wilson issued a procla-
nation yesterday designating June
23d to 30th as Recruiting Week for
the regular army. Married men
without dependents will be asked to
enroll in order that the ranks may be
quickly filled.
The Bay State, an American
steamship of $3.50 gross tons, which
sailed from Boston May 3Oth for
Liverpool, has been torpedoed and
sunk. The report, published to-day,
states that her crew was saved.
Twenty-seven British ships Of more
than 1900 tons and five of less ton
mage were sunk by German SUBJ
marines last week. This is the
heaviest losses of vessels of the
greater tonnage for any one week,
excepting the weeks ending April 21st
and April 18th. Vessels of other
nations were also sunk.
AS whole summary of the war
news of this week does not greatly
differ from that Of the past two
weeks. The exceptional activity of
the German submarines is noted.
However, it may be said that these
"spurts" are merely the exceptions
and that the Allies have, in great
measure, learned how to make war on
the dreaded U-boats. In this connec-
ton it is of interest to note that
aeroplanes will be more freely
brought into service. They furnish
the vantage point, and the submarine
may be seen at greater depth under
the water than one would think for.
Also, the Allies plan great things
for the aircraft on land. 1t has been
suggested land it seems quite likely
the same will be carried out) that the
Allies make air raids on open German
towns the same as the enemy has
done by England by way of giving
him a distate for such warfare.
Again, by successful fight through
this medium on the German aircraft
it is hoped to "blind" their army, thus
rendering the fire of their big guns
almost ineffective.
On the French and Belgian fronts
vicious attacks and counter attacks
continue, and the Germans have not
been wholly without success. espec-
tally in their operations against the
French, but, as heretofore the Allies
have shown the greater gains
The past few days have witnessed
successful offesives by the Italians,
who yesterday again captured many
Austrian prisoners.
The general engagement along the
Macedonian front has not as yet de-
veloped.
