MANY FINISH TRAINING.
Shipping Boards School Turns Out
$4,000 Graduates.

|
| BY Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 9.--More than
$4,000 merchant marine officers have
been graduated from the shipping
boards training schools since their
establishment three years ago and
II per cent Of the graduates have
been licensed for service at sea on
records Of the boards recruiting SER
| vice.
| Officers for the government owned
merchant marine arc trained at
Camp Stuart, Va, San Francisco and
Seattle. -Four wooden ships operate
on the Atlantic coast as combina ton
training ships and cargo carriers.
Each has capacity of 200 appren-
| tees and 1000 tons Of cargo.
On the Pacific coast one wooden
ship carrying 1900 tons of cargo
and 115 apprentices and a new 1900
ton steel vessel with space for l46
apprentices operates on the triangu-
lar run between Seattle. the Hawai-
ian Islands and San Francisco.
Extension and development Of it's
system Of training Americans to
command the craft of the merchant
marine is planned by the shipping
board. 1t is suggested that shore
station be maintained where men
from all sections OF the country can
be assembled and given instruction
In seamanship. boat drill and othe,
preliminary work.
The men would then be sent to
sea III modern steel freight ships
which would be utilized as combi-
nation cargo carriers and training
vessels. carrying about 125 appren-
tees. 1t is planned to place these
ships in a trade which would insure
voyage out and return in about so
days, vessels on the Atlantic and
| on the Pacific.
Conveniently with the sea training
the recruiting service plans the es-
adjustment at colleges and un,versi-
ties near tho principal American
ports OF maritime commerce course
which would include accoun.ing,
business correspondence. business
principles. economics. elements OF
statistics. markets. transportation,
principles of foreign trade, exports
and imports, languages, railroad and
maritime rates, business administra-
ton. business law, admiralty law,
advertising, ship operation and other
basic subjects.
The year would be divided into
four three-month periods, the first
one or two quarters to be spent in
college work and the subsequent
quarters In practice under compe-
tent supervision In the offices Of
steamship companies and on board
ships. The men would be paid for
their services while employed In OF.
fices and on vessels and thus would
be able to- maintain their education
without financial cost to them.
1t would be sought to so arrange
the course as to extend over per-
iod Of years with a degree upon
completion. Shipping board officials
believe this would build up and leave
many other we'll trained men in all
branches OF maritime commerce.

summer Judge BONN after six
months examination of the alleged
bluebeard, gave up in despair and
went to the country for four weeks.

RULES FOR CONTROL
OF BOIL WEEVIL GIVEN

Columbia, Jan. 5.-A plan for
combating the boil weevil which, he
says, has been successfully used in
other sections of the belt, was out
lined by R. M. Mixson, president of
the South Carolina Cotton associa-
ton last night. Mr.. Nixson said that
he had travelled extensively in the
boil weevil section this year and that
he had interviewed the farmers who
had met the situation the most sue
cessfully. His statements presents
the plan used by most of them.
"The boil weevil is in our midst,
and in the language of dis
tinguished gentlemen, that is what
is the matter with our midst"
"This is a very serious matter and

'inches apart, two stalks to the hill
if possible.
ninth: Plow your cotton every
week if possible. Don't neglect this.
Light and rapid cultivation is an i'm
portant factor in the fight.
tenth: When your cotton be-
gins to put on squares the boil wee
vii will commence his ravages. Then
is the time to do your most eff
fective work. Set aside every Mon
day to gather fallen squares and
burn them. If you value your crop,
don't fail to do this. For every
square gathered and burned will
save you from gathering a thou
sand 80 days later"

THAT'S WHAT THIS WOMAN TOLD HER HUSBAND-sAYS ONE
BOTTLE OF MERITONE ALMOST MADE HER INTO A NEW

Don't come home without another

ris, of $500 Charlotte Avenue, West
Nashville, told her husband as he was
leaving for work a few mornings ago.
Mr.. Morris is a popular Nashville
street railway man.
"My wife suffered from rheuma-
tism for long time" Mr.. Morris
said.
"She finally got so that she couldn't
sleep at night and felt so bad that
she couldn't do her housework.
"She has taken one, bottle of Meri-
tone now and it has almost made a
new woman of her. She rests much
better nights now and is feeling so

eve can't give up cotton plant
ing eternally. Providence has given
the South the soil, the sunshine and
rainfall necessary to growing and
producing cotton. AS far as we can
do so profitably, we ought to pro-
duce cotton. The world is dependent
on the staple for clothing. And the
South is better adapted to the pro-
duction of cotton than any other sec
ton of the world"
"But there is a no moral or legal
reason why the South should grow
cotton at loss, either from the
ravages of insect pest or on account
of inadequate prices. The man who
in the face of past experiences and
the present invasion of the boil wee
vii will increase his cotton acreage
is a fit subject for the lunatic asy-
lum."
"This is serious situation, one
affecting the financial interest of
the state, but not one to get panicy
over. Let's preserve our wits. Don't
go off at a tangent. Let's look the
matter squarely in the face and with
cool deliberation based upon the best

81 have spent four months this
fall in the boil weevil sections of
Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and
Texas. l investigated the best posted
planters in these states and discuss
ed the best method Of combating
the boil weevil. My views are based
upon the best information | could
get from the best farmers in the
states mentioned.
First: Plant not over ten acres in
cotton to the plow. Don't plant any
bottoms in cotton. Bottoms are the
home of the weevil and subject to
greater damage by them. Plant your
cotton on uplands.
Second: Prepare your lands
. thoroughly by thorough breaking
up early. Harrow the fields over at
least once before bedding for cot
| ton.
"Third: Put your rows three and a
half to four feet apart. Bed by
April l.
Fourth: Put from 600 to 500
pounds of high grade fertilizer to
the acre, a 1O-4-4 preferred. This
must be distributed as you bed the
land.
Fifth: If you have any SOFA to
use, apply 1t on top of the bed just
after the cotton comes up.
"Sixth: Before planting harrow
your beds so as to get the soil in
first class condition for the germina-
! tion of the seed.
"Seventh: Don't plant too early.
Take no chances of having the plant
killed by frost, but plant as early as
you can to be safe. A crop planted
over will be late and more subject
, to loss from weevil.
, Eight: Commence cultivating
early. Leave the hills about Is
