not pick up very many weevils in
one day, but when you consider that
one weevil lays from three to four
hundred eggs and these aggs hatch
every fourteen or eighteen days you
can readily see why it is important
to get the first squares that fall. Con-
tinue to pick up squares once a week
until about the 18th of. July; after
that date they get so numerous it is
useless to put up fight.
Some contend that it is useless to
pick squares when your neighbor
will not The weevils do not begin
to migrate until about August l, and
it is very seldom that they will even
cross a narrow road up until that
date, but after that time they begin
to spread all over the country. Thus
you can see the advantage of an in
dividual picking squares whether his
neighbor carries on the work or not
1t is the opinion of all who are
familiar with this pest that it is sure
to do a great deal of damage this
year unless steady and hard fight is
made on it.

OF the noses you see on the street,

Why Noses Point to One Side

BEGIN FIGHT ON
BOIL WEEVIL NOW
MUCH DAMAGE WILL RESULT IN
THIS SECTION IF FARMERS
ARE NEGLIGENT.

Owing to the mild winter the boil
weevil has made an early appearance
in Terrell and other counties
throughout Southwest Georgia.
There is an impression among
many farmers that if the boil Vice.
vii make their appearance very early
they will perish to death before the
cotton begins to put on fruit, but
this is mistaken idea. The weevil
will live on the plant by sucking the
juice out of tie stem until the square
begins to form, and then begin to de-
post eggs in these squares. 1t is true
the weevil does not deposit an egg in
anything but the cotton square, but
still it will live on the plant.
Hatch Rapidly.
1t only takes from IA to 10 days
from the time the egg is deposited
until an adult weevil matches out and
IS ready to begin its destruction.
When it is considered the amount of
damage one WeeVll accompanies,
about to 6 pounds of seed cotton,
it is seen that it is essential that the
farmers put up a fight to destroy ev-
cry one possible.
After the cotton plants begin to
grow it is essential to rush the growth
by very fast cultivation. 1t should
not be longer than every ten days
and once week is better.
Watch the Squares.
Watch the young squares very
closely. Do not wait for a number Of
them to fall on the ground, but as
soon as discovered have them picked
up at least once week, carried out
of the field and burned This can be
done by spreading them in the sun
for few hours or by pouring kero-
sene over them. By all means see
that they are destroyed. You may

YOUR TWO SIDES.
HALVES OF NO HUMAN BEING ARE EXACTLY ALIKE, AND
ONE is SURE BETTER OR STRONGER THAN OTHER

Scientists say that every human
being is built in two halves, length
wise. And the halves are not alike.
Often they are so different that they
might appropriately belong to two
different people.
Your right hand is bigger than
your left. This may be attributed to
its greater use. But how about your
left foot?
Your right arm is heavier and of
greater circumference above and be-
low than your left arm. Due to more
exercise, of course. But also it is
longer. Why?
The chances are that your left leg
is longer thar your right-just a bit
at all events. Again, why?
Hard to Say Why.
1t is not easy to answer these ques-
lions. But consider the shoulders. In
most persons one is a bit higher than
the other; often the difference is
very noticeable. This may be due to
habits of sitting, acquired in child
hood while the body is growing.
You have favorite side to lie up
on in sleeping. This, it is more than
suspected, affects the shape of the
ears during childhood, and may ac-
count to some extent for the fact that
no person has ears that are alike.
But they would not be exactly
alike, anyway, for nature does not
construct any human being SYM
metrically in any detail. Your eyes
ought to be just alike, but they are
not. Are your eyebrows alike? Take
a look in the glass and see.
Even the two sides of your mouth
are not alike. And how about your
nose? There is only one of that feat

ties, Food Failed to Nourish Her
Was ConstiPated and Kidneys De-
ranged. Four Bottles of Dreco
Performed Almost a Miracle for
Her.
II have read of some wonderful
cures, but the case of my own wife
beats them ALL" stated Mr.. J. H.
Huff, the well-known street car man
on the Hillodge avenue line, Athens,
Ga.
"My wife was just about nervous
wreck and practically an invalid. She
was too weak and nervous to per-
form the usual duties around the
house. She couldn't sleep, what food
she did eat did no good and gave no
strength. Her kidneys were very
troublesome and bowels constipated.
81 was advised to give her some
Dreco, which was being so we'll
spoken of and that was the best move
| ever made. DrecO seemed to strike
right at the bottom of her troubles
and after finishing her fourth bottle
it appeared almost the work of a
miracle. She didn't seem like the
same person who, only few weeks
before, was dragging around.
"Her strength returned along with
her appetite and her stomach was
digesting the food and nourishing her
body. The pains in her back were
gone and her kidneys normal. The
constipation disappeared during the
first week of the Dreco treatment
she now eats meat, vegetables or
anything she Graves and never suf-
fers from it, sleeps sound and is do
ing her house work. She feels bet
ter than in the past ten years"
All good druggists now sell Dreco,
and it is highly recommended in Daw-
son by Lees Drug Store.
