The earlier the cotton stalks are
{ destrovea, the fewer the boil weevlls
that will survive the winter and con-
seuuently the smaller the damage 70
the next crop. We advise as Tar as
-nessible the stalks be destroyed at

inc, frost for the early fall destruc-
+;on of cotton stalks is practically the
inost innportant single step in any
system of fighting the BOIL weevil. In
other words, cleaning of the fields,
destroying the stalks, and the plant
ing Of cover crops constitute most
nowerful weapons for weevil fighting
now in the hands Of the farmer, who
by efficient fall farm management can
dictate to a great extent how many
Weeyils shall pass the winter on his
farm. This fall cleaning program is
also the greatest benefit generally in
destroying the winter homes and the
winter food. plants of other injurious
pests Of the farm.
Bou weevils multiply in cotton until
frost kills it. Many thousands Of
them may occur in each acre of cot
ton. Weevils hibernate, that IS they
pass the winter, only in the full
grown state. IHibernation usually
begins with, the coming Of the first
killing frost The weevils hibernate
principally in cotton fields. and stand
ing stalks make for them splendid
winter homes. The most favorable
conditions for successful Information
is found in fields where cotton stalks.
grass, weeds, dead leaves, etc., are
left during the winter. There are
little prospects for successful cotton
growing Under such conditions.
In some sections the stalks are up
rooted, piled and burned. This has
the very serious disadvantage of de-
stroying the large amount of Sege-
table matter which should 'e turned
under. Whenever the farmer is
equipped with plows and mules ito
turn under the stalks five to six inches
after they have been cut down with
q chopper, it is a very effective plan.
sAs less effective method is to Craze
off all green cotton within few days.
Whatever the method the destruction
OF stalks must be thorough.
Some Of the many advantages Sc
cured from cleaning the fields and
destroying the stalks are: % A great
many full grown weeviis are killed
outright; CD Many young stages in
the plants are killed: (s) The full
grown weevils not killed will be
weakened by starvation if the stalks

Why Not Trade
At Home?

Many people ask that ques-
ton. but very few trouble 70
seek the answer.
Why should people patron
ize their home merchants?
Because il is "a great saving
of time. and time today repre-
sents money.
Because the home merchant
can only remain in business
through the patronage of home
people. and a town without
merchants would be a sorry
place in which to live.
Because the home merchant
sells goods that do not have TO
be returned because of defects
or inferiority of quality. II is
the only way in which the local
man can hold his trade.
Because the local merchant
is not in the habit of charging
excessive prices. You may az
times be able to get the same
article elsewhere for a little
less money. but the quality will
invariably be reduced in pro-

Japs Would Turn Sand Into Steel.

A new process by which sand
iron or magnetic sand may be
converted into pig iron and thence
into steel, has been made public in
Japan
The discovery, the scientists aver,
will not only revolutionize the steel
industry in Japan, but of the world.
The process is carried out by
means of combining the sand-iron
with coke, using hot gas flames and
making ferro coke. from which iron
can be easily taken.
Japan has little or no iron in
any form which may be easily
mined and this fact has made this
country one of the biggest i'm
porters Of iron especially from
England and the United States
However, magnetic sand is album
dant throughout the empire, but
was quite useless mp to the time of
the discovery Of the new process.
The discoveries claim that the
new process will make Japan one
of the biggest iron producing
countries Of the world, independent
Of England or the United States in
in the matter of iron imports.

signs of the using up of stocks that
have long stood between them and
anything more than a hand TO
mouth operation, and are encourag-
ed to look for gradual decrease in
the scale of their losses.
That the steel corporation fol-
lowed more promptly the last wage
reduction of the independent com
panies than those coming earlier in
the year is an indication of the
effect of recent competition. 1t
will take considerable increase in
operations to give any approach to
economical production. The rate
of steel ingot production is slightly
larger this week at several import
ant plants.
In the Chicago district the
Wisconsin Steel company shows
the most marked improvement,
running at 40 per cent of capacity.
Central western mills find more
activity in automobile steel than in
any other direction. Several Detroit
plants will operate at the present
rate through September. The sheet
market is more active, some buyers
making their first purchases in
months. The week has been an
outstanding one in fabricated steel.
Upward of II, 900 tons was placed
and nearly 10000 has been added
to active pending projects.
