WEEVIL DAMAGE is LESS
IN THE BIG OPEN FIELDS

This has been year of extreme
ly heavy boil weevil infestation, and
as a cotton farmer it has been in
terestmg and instructive to me to
observe the conditions under which
this pest has been most destructive.
AS a pretty general rule, the
small patch of cotton surrounded by
thickets and woods has caught
it," especially if these thick places
have not recently been burned out.
On the other hand, with other con-
ditions almost identically the same,
cotton lit big, open fields fias suf-
fered comparatively little damage
Prairie sections, as every one
knows, Fave usually suffered least
from the boil weevil, mainly be-
cause under such conditions the
winter death rate of the weevils is
high as they have no suitable place
to- hibernate What we neea' 70, do,.
then, in SO far as we can, is to
create prairie conditions. That
is, we need to clean out old fence
rows, thiciSets, stumps-any and ev-
cry place, M fact, where the pest
might find favorable winter quar-
tiers. This, after all, is merely
good farming up the non
producing areas and putting them
to work making crops instead of
doing nothing but furnishing boil
weevil sheIter.-The Progressive

his masterful tones, that did moi

fervor that brooks no restraint, with
a gift of language surpassed by

There has been more or less mys-
terry in the public mind about the
League of Nations. This has been
due to misrepresentation by its
enemies and an idea tESat it is a
complex system of super-govern-
ment. But these ideas were swept
aside by Senator Robinson, who
analysized the league, logically and
thoroughly, and showed that it is
the only agency that has been sug-
gested that will effectually pre-
vent recurrence of great inter-
national conflicts. Even Article 10,
which the Republican party has so
persistently misrewesented, was
shown to be nothing more than an
extension of the Monroe Doctrine
which has proven so great a bless
ing to the Western Hemisphere
There was no equivocation or
the convention in endorsing the
league and in denauncing the Re-
publican oligarchy which has up to
the present time been successful in
defeating it.

However, it was finally agreed that

THE INJUSTICE OF THE
COTTON PRICE SITUATION

Cotton farmers are facing a SER

but it has cost more to make than
any crop ever grown. Fertilizer,
labor, implements, feed - every
thing, in fact, that has gone into the
making of the crop-have cost more
than ever before.
But despite these facts, there
seems to be determined effort to
force cotton down to 20 cents

make this crop, if our farmers, their

simply ridiculous, compared with the
$50 to $40 We got last year.
When we go to buy bagging and
ties the price is decidedly higher
than last year. Ginning prices last
year were 80 cents per hundred

Butler 2; Fl. Scott, o.

The fast 1T. Scott ball team was
shut out by the Butler team on the
local grounds Sunday afternoon in,
one OF the snappiest games ever seen
on the local diamond. Butler tried
out a new pitcher, Nelson. and if his
work Sunday was lal. sample OF
what he can do he is some pitcher as
-rttffy two hits We're made by the
heavy hitting kansans. Third base
man Rooney being the only man to
connect safely, one going to the
hedge in right center III the third in
ming and the other a fly close to the
right field foul line in the ninth.
Nelson was never in any great dam
ger except in the eighth inning when
with the bases full and two down it
looked bad, but he frightened up and
struck out Squibb for the third out.
Moore, for TT. Scott also pitched
some air tight ball, Jimmie Williams
and Nelson being the only ones to-
secure hits off him.
Butler runs were made in the first
and fifth inning, In the first Lus-
to Drummond. He Immediately stole
second and scored on Jimie Williams
sharp single. Walter Williams scored
i'll the fourth, getting life at first
when Drummond messed up kooney's
poor throw. He also stole second
and scored on Nelson's two-basc hit
to the hedge fence in center field.
The addition of Hulse on first
strengthened the team considerable.
Next Sunday the team will 60 to,
Rich Hill and that afternoon and
Monday will play the strong Rich
Hill team.
