Wage War On Boil Weevil

B. Harris, commissioner of agricul-
ture, has issued an appeal to the
farmers and business interests of the
state in which he calls on them to
get into the war on the weevil just
launched in this state by A. Lee An
drews, publisher of the new book.
"The Boil Weevil Problem-lts Solu-
ton"
This timely and highly important
book is an enlarged fourth edition OF
the "Boll Weevil Problem" which
ran into three editions and was big
success. The new book has ten new,
highly specialized chapters by eleven
widely known authorities on the sub
ject and is the most authoritative
treatise on the weevil ever published.
. The title of the new book is a very
striking one and will undoubtly Gre
ate a great deal of curiosity, but Mr..
Andrews says that the solution OF
this big problem really is embodied
in the new book.
According to the compiler of this
book; the most important thing be-
fore the farmers and every business
interest in the South at this time is
the prompt turning under of all green
cotton stalks, because this destroys
millions of adult weevils, eggs, larva
and pupae; it deprives the weevlls
which escape this process, of a place
to lay further eggs; it conserves the
green stalks as a plant food and
these are worth anywhere from 81 to
SIS or more per acre; prepares most
, excellent. seed bed after being disked
and rolled and puts the land in condi-
ton to absorb the rains of the winter
without undue erosion, thus providing
/. additional moisture against possi-
bic dry spring and summer. Because
of the short crop to be gathered and
the exceptional opportunity for fall
blowing together with the above ad-
vantages = be gained, Commissioner
Harris W glad to lend his influence
and get right into the war which Mr..
Andrews has organized against the
weevl. f1"''''
In bulletin issued by the depart
ment of agriculture this year, the
following paragraph is found:
eff this single instruction to de-
stroy all cotton stalks in. the fall
while still green could be carried out
by every grower, it would practically
solve the weevil problem. The diff
Guilty is shat only part of the growers
follow ii PLAN This is a very
strong assertion, but Mr.. Andrews
saws that all authorities concur and
that in view of the fact that most
farmers will be making a splendid
investment when they purchase i'm
proved implements for breaking their
land and because they must break
the land at some time anyway il
would seem that the most logical and
altoeether sensible plan would be tc
break the land deeply before frost
with a plow which will cover all cot
ton stalks deeply.

to SaviOur's Crib

Tomorrow night will be Twelfth Night, the
eve of the Feast of the Epiphany, which
commentaries the Journey of the Wise Men
to the crib of the Infant to hail Him as the
newborn Saviour.
In England Twelfth Night is celebrated
with much merrymaking and many curious
rites which have been handed down from
medieval times observed. The principal
festivity of the night is the cutting OF the
bean cake"--a cake in which a bean is
baked. and the finder is made king for the
night and for the following day.
1t was In commemoration of this ancient
custom that Robert Baddeley. an English
comedian of the eighteenth century. who was
long a favorite at the Drury Lane Theatre
made one of the strangest bequests on record
Baddeley died in 1894, and In his will he
beQueathed a sum of money to be annually
expended on cake to be cut on Twelfth
Night in the Green Room of the Drury Lane
Theatre and divided among the actors and
actresses playing there Many celebrated
players have partaken of the cake In years
past.
AS the cake is cut this toast is offered:
ITO the skull of the founder"-an Illusion TO
the brain in which this idea originated.
Twelfth Night also furnished Shakes
peare the name for one of his happiest
comedies,
