Destroying Boil Weevils by Flowing
Them Under

J. O., Sharon, Ga, writes:
am just getting ready to cut
down the cotton stalks and burn
them to destroy the boil weevil,
but I notice you recommend
turning them under, thereby
saving 40 to SO pounds Of nitro
gen per acre. / was afraid by
blowing them under we might
be making a good winter bed for
them. This year l had forty
acres in cotton and made over
nineteen bales, or about half a
bale per acre, while many farm
ers near me goc bale or less
to the pillow. I kept hands
busy picking up the weevils and
also faulty squares until the
first of August. I used no
poison. If you think best, will
turn the stalks under.
The most effective way Of destroy
ing the boil weevil is by blowing
down the stalks and covering them
into the ground just as deeply as
possible. If you do this effectively
you will find that you have destroy
ed the boil weevils almost complete
ly. If the stalks are only partly
turned under some may live through
the winter or may escape and hiber-
nate in trash along the hedgerows
or on the terraces, or even in crevices
Of the ground. If you bury the
weevils well into the soil you, Of
course, shut off their supply Of air
and they die. Certainly all the i'm
mature or partly developed weevils

young ones, are killed. You need
have no fear Of making winter
bed for the weevil, therefore, if you
turn the stalks under to a good
depth. BY all means save the nitro
gen. It is too precious an element
and too costly for us to wantonly
destroy.
Your methods Of fighting the wee
vii are to be commended. They show
what can be accomplished by per-
sistent effort along the right lines.
Keep it up another year and there
is every reason to believe that if
you plant an early maturing variety
Of cotton and fertilize it properly
you will harvest at least half a bale
Of cotton to the acre. The weevil
will be worse some years than 9th
erS in various sections, but a per-
sistent fight will as a rule win out.
You can bury stalks from very
large cotton by putting a chain on
the end Of the whiff1etree ad at
taching 1t to the coulter. A double
chain may sometimes be necessary.
A big disk pillow still proves effective
in burying the stalks. Where you
can have a tractor, Of course, and
set the points to run at sufficient
depth complete burying of the
stalks can also be accomplished.

SEES BIC BARGAIN
IN LIBERTY BONDS
Important

Important
The International Investor, pub
lished weekly for the information OF
investors by William H. McKenna &
Co., members of the Consolidated
Stock Exchange, of New York, in a
situation, says:
eff one Of the larger New York
banking houses offered a lot of $40
gold pieces at a discount Of from 5
to Is per cent, the crowd of pur-
chasers responding to such an offer
would be sufficient to block every
main artery of travel in lower New
York. The public would quickly
scrape together every available
penny in order to reap the profits
that would be made possible by the
purchase of the gold coin Of the ma
ton at a liberal discount.
"Of course no such offer has been
or will be made, but a very similar
opportunity exists right this minute
and, strange to say, but few are TAX
ing advantage Of it. We refer to GER
tain of the issues of United States
Liberty bonds. Never before have
the gold bonds of this nation sold at
such a big discount; bonds that are
nothing more or less than a promise
made by the United States Of Amer
lea to redeem them at full face value
on the day they become due. And
between now and maturity date these
bonds pay a rate of interest that was
practically unheard of previous to
the World war.
MANY people are prone to regard
the depreciation of Liberty bonds in
market value as a particularly I'M
fortunate occurrence, but the wise
investor thinks otherwise. He is
pleased with the present situation,
which permits him to acquire the
finest, gilt-edge bond in the world
at a price very much below face val
ue. He realizes that the present
prices are not due to any lessened IN
trinsic value, but merely because so
many people have been forced TO
iiuuidate their holdings and the sup
ply. therefore, momentarily exceeds
the demand.
"The time is coming when the 2
and 3 per cent United States gold
bonds will replace all of the Liberty
issues. AS these war loans become
due the government will replace
them with the less profitable bonds
of other days. Banks, trust COM
panies, insurance companies, ana
other big organizations realize this
fact and are therefore placing much
of their LIQUID funds into Liberty
bonds. Can the individual afford to
disregard their expert judgment?
"'Buy, Buy Liberty Bonds be-
came one of the wars most famous
slogans and for the benefit of all
American investors it should be re-
garded with equal popularity II
times of peace. AS to the factor
of safety, United States Liberty
bonds are without question the SAT
est investment on the face of the
earth. This applies to both princi'
pal and interest, both Of which are
payable in the gold coin Of the ma

allow apF culls to occupy valuable
space in the storage house.
When the potatoes have been put
in storage start your stoves, or
whatever form of heater you expect
to use, and raise the temperature
to IS or 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Con-
tinue the curing for ten days. then
reduce the temperature to 55 de-
grees and keep as nearly uniform
as possible.
If we had rutabagas to handle we
would let them stand in the field.
They will become sweeter after hard
frosts occur. I have never seen
them destroyed in this state by frost.
Along in the spring they will be-
come pithy, so, Of course, you should
figure on using them between now
and the first Of February. There
should be no trouble in disposing
Of a crop of the size you have to
local markets. You will find that
the flavor and the cooking qualities
Of the rutabaga will improve as the
weather turns colder. We would
not top the crop at this time Of
the year, nor do we consider it nee
essary to cover them with earth.
1t would be a simple matter to do
this, however, if you conclude it
to be desirable, and the ends you
have in view could be accomplished
through the agency Of turning

Destroying Worms in Horses
D. L. S., Faison, N. c., writes:
Please give me a remedy to rid
my horse of worms and oblige.
Worms may be destroyed in horses
by the following procedure: Feed
the horse very sparingly for at least
IS hours. Then give vermifuge,
followed by a brisk purgative to ex-
pei the worms from the intestines.
There is nothing better than turpen-
tine in doses ranging from one to
two ounces. This material should
be we'll diluted. Milk, olive oil or
cottonseed oil may be used for this
purpose. The di1ution is necessary
in order to prevent the mouth and
throat from being blistered. The
dose indicated should be given once
daily for two or three days. 1t
should then be followed by good
purgative. Epson salts administer
ed as drench may be used for this
purpose.

you will see. One of my dearest
\friends is going to get married dur
ing the Christmas holidays, and I

of red and green. Holly, if you can
get a vase filled with holly for cen
ter Of the table, and a bow of bright
red ribbon tied around the vase, or
draped in among the holly. Cedar
mixed in is also pretty. If you have
an old WORKOUT umbrella, take the
cover off and recover with red calico,
or any cheap solid red material you
can get. Attach this umbrella by
the tip to the ceiling, opened, over
center of table. To each rod end tie
several strands of red baby ribbon,
pull it fairly tight, and tack it to
table cloth like steamers. To the han
die Of umbrella which has also been
wrapped in red cloth, have a big
card neatly trimmed in floral design

Sandwiches and tea are nice to

The Sugar Curing Method of Pre-
serving Pork
V. r. Burns, Tennessee, writes:
I wish to know how to sugar
cure pork; how to handle the
pork from the time butchered
until it is thoroughly sugar
cured and ready to be laid by
for use.
Pork may be dry cured in the FOL.
lowing manner: The meat shoul1
be taken from animals which nave
been carefully killed and are IN
good healthy condition. 1t Shoulu
be thoroughly cooled but not frozen.
The carcass should then be cut up
in the usual manner, and the pieces
to be dry cured carefully trimmed.
After this has beer accomplished Sc
cure a container, which may be a
hardwood barrel or hogshead care
fully cleaned with boiling water and
of course properly cooled. Large
earthenware Jars will answer for
this purpose.
Prepare the following mixture:
Five pounds salt, 2 pounds gran
ulated sugar, 2 ounces saltpeter. rms
is a sufficient amount to use for lOO
pounds of heat. Mix. these ingredlc
ents together thoroughly and rub
the meat every three days with one
third of the mixture. The meat or
course should be kept packed in the
Darrell or container referred TO. IL
is good practice to have two recep'
tacles so that the meat may be trans
ferred from one to the other at each
r11bbins. After the last rubbing let
the meat stand for about ten days
IT should then be ready to smoke.
Larger cuts will require more time
to cure. Curing by this method
should be done in place that Is
moist as we'll as cool.
The smoking process would ne
handled as in the case of meat cured
in brine. The meat should be hung
we'll above a slow fire so that it Will
not become heated. Hickory is pre-
ferred for smoking meat. The use
Of preservatives is unnecessary ana
IS forbidden by the law.

The success Of a sweet potato cur

consideration of the following mat
