MAKING RECORD
Local Lad is Strong Card in
Western District-Takes Kayo
in Butte Bout.

Fred Lawrence Of Grand Forks
who is now making his home at Will
liston. N. D., is creating no little SEN
sahon in sporting circles in the vicin-
ity Of the western city and he has
made a good showing in the numerous
boxing and wrestling matches in
which he has participated.
At Butte, Mont. last month, Law
renee accepted knockout punch on
the jaw and went down for the
count. He has had seven bouts this
year and took draw in four OF
them. There are not many good
wrestlers in that section of the state,
Lawrence claims. and as a result he
has not had much Of an opportunity
to get into the mat game.
Tuesday night Lawrence entered
a six round bout with Billy Barrett
Of st. Louis, a professional who claims
to have a great record. Lawrence
put over knockout punch in a min
ute and a half. kwas the first fight
ever staged in Williston and drew a
packed house.

H. M. Jackson, Formerly Of Paragould, Says Farmers In Marianna Section Are Learning How to Make Hand some Profits Commercial Organiza- tion Is ActiUe.

"Lee, St. Francis, Woodruff, Crittenden, Phillips and other lower Eastern Arkansas counties will pro- duce bumper yields of crops this fa' remarked H. M. Jackson this morning. Mr. Jackson, who formerly re- sided in Paragould is located in Maranna, where he has charge of the Cou1ier-ndeX consolidation of the two papers that formerly operated in that city
 He is spending today in Paragoud greeting friends and looking after business matters.
 "The has taught the bottom farmers that dl- versifcaton is not matter of choice, but one Of ne- cessty' continued Mr. Jackson "The unprecedentedly high prices of feed and foodstus have forced the land owners to grow great variety of crops. This is espec aly true of Heretofore the negro tenants would plant small acreage in and at the time it most needed wor they would neglect and devote their en- erges to cottonthe staple crop on which they were ex tended credit for supplies The result that the aver age corn yield the rich bottom plantations not in excess of tWeny-ve bushels per acre. This year the planters demanded an increased acreage in and other food crops and to it that these crops were properly worked In consequence, Lee and other bottom counties not only going to produce enough corn for home consumption but will have surplus to dispose of at the good prices prevailing Land that has heretofore yielded twenty twenty-five bushels of to the will produce from forty to sixty bushels this year

;"The cotton crop has success fully weathered year of extreme abnormalities. However many Of the planters believe the adverse season will prove a blessing in dis guisc It has forced the tenants to adopt modern scientific methods in the cultivation of the crop, chief among which is constant shallow stirring of the soil. Heretofore it has been the custom to lay by both, cotton and corn crops. This yearE'the land owners arc keeping their negroes in the fields, endeav- oring1 to blow the cotton out once every ten days, regardless of it's stage of development. The improve ment in the appearance of the crop md in it's fruitage during the past thirty days has been little short of marvellous. In addition to the inn mediate profit this method will bring to both land owner and ten ant, is the object lesson it places be- fore the negroes. It has taught them the advantage of continuous late cultivation and that the old idea of laying by at certain per iod of the season has been an eX- pensive practice.
 WEEVIL MAKES APPEARANCE, b,
 Thirty days ago some of the cotton planters were apprehensive about the boil weeyil. The pest was found in &everal isolated sec tions of the county and it was feared the rayage would rapidly spread to other fields and become general within another year. The farm demontrator and a party of Fplanters immediately made trip to the boil weevil section of Mis- issippi and conferred with the plant CTS in that state who had success fully combatted the boil weevil evil. They found the best way to offset the damage was by continuous cultivation. Every time a cultivator or other farm implement is run between the rows of cotton the

wceYi,s are brushed off the plant and fall on the ground. Wings or sweeps are used to pull the weevils to the center of the furrow so the sun will strike them. While this does not necessarily result in eX- terminating the pest. it reduces it's damage to the minimum. The weevi thrives in the shade and does it's greatest injury during a wet season The Mississippi planters have long since recovered from their early fright over the boil weevil and are now making as large profits from their cotton as in former years before the weeyil came
 ALTERNATIVES IN FOLLOWS.
 Last year there were evidences of the weevil in Lee county. They were found on several small farms located in hollows where the pest was protected from the blasts Of winter. This year they again made their appearace on these farms and several places just outside the ravincs. The weevil travels very slowly, and where the infection is localized the damage can be re- duced to the minimum by picking up and burning the fallen squares. This fall the farms in the valleys which last winter proved the hi bernating places for the weevils will be sowed to wheat. This is one plant the weevil cannot feed upon, and it is believed this rotation of crops on infested areas will prac- tically put the pest out of business.
