Cold Weather Has Put Crimp
Into the Boil Weevil's Activities

While the unusually severe wealth
er in December has brought much in
convenience and no little suffering to
the south, to the man who is interest
ed in the production of cotton there
is compensation in the hope that the
boil weevil, which takes such a lib
eral toll from the crop, has been bad
ly crippled for another season. AL
though none can speak with authori-
ty, the general belief is that the
weather has played havoc with the
weevil and his number greatly de-
creased, which will mean less destruc-
ton from him next summer.
The weevil is a hardy pest, but
government experts say that when he
is exposed to severe cold he cannot
survive. Experiments have shown
that a weevil encased in a cake of
ice will come out alive and be ready
to ply his trade, but temperatures of
10 degrees or less will put out of
business practically all exposed pests.
Those who figure that the pest was
badly hit by that spell argue that the
cold came so suddenly that the wee
vii did not have time or warning to
seek protection, and thus most of
them were probably frozen. Millions
of them must have been caught in
the bolls still on the stalk, many of
which had not opened after having
been caught by the killing frosts in
October. The second cold spell
brought temperatures almost as low
as the first, and extended over the
greater part of the belt

RED CROSS WORK ROOM
DAWSON'S BUSIEST PLACE

There's Something For All to Do, and
Interest and Attendance Growing.
The Red Cross work room in the
city hall is about one of the busiest
places in Dawson on Wednesdays.
The movement is constantly growing
in attendance and interest, and the
line spirit in which the women of the
city and county have entered upon
the new year argues we'll for the ac
complishment of Terrell countys
share of this branch of war relief
work.
1t is peculiarly work in which all
the women of this section, young and
old, can come together in the highest
service for their country, and in unit
ed purpose and combined effort be a
strong force in helping to win the
war.
For those who do not care to sew
there is always job of cutting, and
in case neither is your 'long suit"
call on the chairman of the Red Cross
knitting circle, and let her supply YOU
with wool for fashioning into soldier
comforts.
In its variety of activities the Red
Cross furnishes pleasant pastime for
all who will lend a hand, and it is
hoped the enthusiasm will spread to
every part of the county. No section
has more capable body of women
than those who help to keep Terrell
county in big letters on the map, and
while the problems of running the
domestic machinery may grow more
and more complicated and the bur-
dens press heavier all the time every
woman who loves her country will
try to arrange some way to give at
least a little time and thought aside
from her household duties to war re-
lief just so long as America calls her
to the task.
