BOIL WEEVIL PRECAUTIONS.

The following directions have been
sent out by the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture of Alabama to the farmers
OF his state, telling them how to min
imizc the results Of the boil wecyil.
Ihc directions were taken from cir
GUAR enclosed with letter to Mr.. T.
Mac. Roper, of this city:
|. Begin at once to destroy tho
old stalks and other litter by blowing
them under or burning them. Burn the
hedge rows, ditch banks and burn
around dead stumps, trees and logs.
Utilize every pretty day this winter,
cleaning up and plowing when the
soil will permit.
Thorough preparation, a medium
early start and determined efforts will
make cotton. They succeed in all 9TH
er states that have boil weevil. Why
not in Alabama?
2. Reduce your crop to six or
eight acres to the plow and make the
rows one foot wider than you expect
the cotton to grow In height.
3. Prepare good we'll pulverized
seed bed and plant as early as sea-
son will permit.
d. Plant pure seed of early varieties
like Triumph, Cleveland Big Boil,
ToOle, King and Simpkin.
5. Fertilize a little heavier and
put part Of the fertilizer in with the
seed to start the crop quickly. If on
ly two hundreds pounds Of fertilizer
are used per acre, apply all with the
seed.
6. Keep cotton off Of damp rich
land that makes too much weed, as
moisture. shade and tender growth is
the wecvil's ideal place
Z. Pick the weevils out of the buds
Of the plants week before squares
begin to form.
8. Pick up and burn the infested
squares the same week that the first
blooms occur.
8. Cultivate shallow and once a
week until August or later.
10. Successful cotton culture is
now matter Of the man, his intelli-
gence, determination and ability to
apply his efforts at the time which
will accomplish the greatest results.
II. DO not forget your food and
feed crops, hogs and cattle.

THINKS BONDING ACT
NOT YET OPERATIVE
State Insurance Commissioner Says
There Will Be No General
CoVeraqe Until Spring.

Bismarck, n. D., Nov. 9.-State In
surance Commissioner s. A. Olsness
does not think 1t probable that the
North Dakota bonding act, which
has been made effective through the
United States supreme courts denial
OF jurisdiction on an appeal from the
North Dakota supreme court, by the
Dakota Trust Co., of Fargo, can be
made operative before the first of the
year. He believes there will be no
general coverage Of county. city,
township and school district en-
ployes under this act until after the
spring elections next March, as a
majority of bonds for the current
year has been bought and paid for.
The act is not construed to be
purely mandatory, as has been claim
ed. 1t specifically provides that any
officer may procure personal sureties,
or may invest in a surety company
bond, but that he cannot pay for it
with public moneys. The state bond
ing act forbids coverage in excess of
$4,000, and provides that surety in
excess Of that amount may be pro-
cured from a commercial bonding
company. But $1,000 is appropriated
for the operation Of the act, and
Commissioner Olsness is inclined to
believe that will mean sailing close
to the wind. At least one new clerk
must be added to look after the
bonding department.

near BEER TESTS
SHOW PRODUCERS
KEEP Within Law
Report by Pure Food De-
partment Shows Alco-
holic Content

The results Of tests of 125 samples
Of socalled near beers" conducted
by the North Dakota pure food de-
rent bulletin issued by the depart
ment, revealing only one sample
containing alcohol in quantities con-
sidered sufficient to place the Drodnct
in the beer class. and removed IL
from the soft drink list.
The single product that showed an
excess Of alcohol, was Analysed a
number OF times, but only one bot
tie was found that failed to come
within the classification of nonintod-
eating beverages.
Some time ago the sale Of this
class Of beverages was denied in the
state, the attorney general holding
that they were in violation of a pro-
hibition act of the state because
they looked and tasted like beer"
The attorney general, however, re-
coded from that position shortly aft
erwards.
Only % of the samples examined
contained in excess Of two-tenths OF
one per cent alcohol, while only six
samples contained more than one per
cent alcohol.
The near beer class Of beverages
Is now being sold in North Dakota
The companies manufacturing such
products gave the state a bond Tor
$4,000 each as a guarantee that they
would not break the state law by
permitting too much alcohol to re-
main in their products, and as a pro-
lection to dealers who may be ar
rested should the products show an
excessive amount OF alcohol.

to arrest and hold all. stragglers.
The trouble started when Jim

Long was taken to the police station
and released on bond, but the negro
soldiers heard that "a soldier is be-
ing taken out to be lynched", and
