ANOTHER METHOD OF
FIGHTING THE WEEvIL
LETTER FROM ARKANSAS MAN
WHO HAS BEEN WARNING ON
COTTON PEST FOR YEARS.

The letter printed below is from an
Arkansas man to his brother, E. w.
Copeland, of Greene county, and is ia
ken from the Greensboro Herald-J our
nal:
Il am sorry you have the boil wee
vii, for he is bad company. However,
we have had them for the past fifteen
years and we do not pay near so much
attention to them as we did when they
first showed up. The farmers tried ev-
cry way imaginable to get rid OF them,
but we find they came to stay. and the
only success we have IN raising cotton
with them is constant blowing. 1t a
farmer will plow one furroW each week
and tie a pole across his plow handles
and attach sack to each end so it will
drag along on the cotton, and will do
this each week until August 10th or
18th, he will experience no i'll effects
from the boil weevil.
THE boil weevil is more like an an
imal in his disposition than an insect.
They will hide from you, and # you
modest them constantly they will act
ually leave the field.
Three years ago the Virginia. Caro-
| lima Chemical Co. had liquid they
claimed would kill the weevil and Of
Tered to experiment on four acres for
me if | would agree to do as they di-
rected, so | followed their instructions
exactly and the result was | made a
bale to the acre, and where | cultivated
in the usual way | made only a halt
bale. However, | do not think the liq-
uid they fixed up killed single weevil,
as they themselves said it was not a
success, but it was the one furrow each
week and the sack dragging over the
cotton and running the weevils off that
made the cotton. No farmer can afford
to pick up the squares 1t is tedious
and expensive, and they claim each
weevil lays $4,000 eggs and if you
have 1000 weevils to the acre you can
easily see it is impossible to pick up
all the squares they can puncture
"The weevil does the most harm
during a wet spell, when it's cool and
no one is in the field to disturb him,
so if they are bad during a rainy spell
when it's too wet to pillow you can tie
long sack on each end of pole and
get a mule or horse and ride along
every other row allowing the sacks to
drag the cotton stalks. This should be
done every three or four days in cloudy
weather when too wet to plOW. Now
il is certainly hard to get a farmer
to do this, as he soon gets discouraged
| by some of his sorry neighbors telling
him he's wasting time and what he is
doing will amount to nothing. But if
farmers will follow my suggestions
and fail to make a good crop of cotton
l will permit them to say that I am
the biggest liar that ever left Georgia"

FIND BIG DIAMOND
IN SOUTH AFRICA
STORY OF DISCOVERY READS
LIKE ROMANCE. STONE 381
CARATS IN WEIGHT.

LONDON.-Details which read like
a chapter of romance have reached
England of the finding of an uncut
diamond in South Africa weighing 38l
carats and christened the "Arc" from
the initials of three men who combined
to purchase it for sum kept secret.
Some weeks ago three men-Schee-
.pers, Caltenbrun and Smith-set out
from the Transvaal diggings for Mos
inberg, where a new field was shortly
to be opened. Smith had his wife and
little boy with the party. A Jew miles
out from Barkley West the boy be-
came ill and forced the party to cease
their trek and camp at Gonggong
while the mother was nursing her child.
The men, to fill their idle time, went
to work digging in the vague hope OF
picking some trihe. Matters went from
bad to worse, the diggers having no
luck, and finally the party was reduced
to living on maize meal and little else.
The sick child grew steadily worse
and died.
Follow Another's Advice.
After the funeral there was no rea-
son for staying I'M the unlucky and ap-
parently Improbable camp, but a
chance visitor, a man named Els, had
pointed out a bit of ground and had
Strongly advised the diggers to give it
a trial. They decided to follow his ad-
vice and at the end of two days they
were into pat clay soil in which dla-
monds are usually found.
Then fortune came literally to them.
At one stroke of Caltenbrun's pick he
turned up something which he took to
be a piece of crystal, something so
big that it seemed ridiculous that 1t
could be diamond.
Scheepers was called to examine it,
and although he, too, pronounced
against it being a real stone he wash
ed it in a bucket of water and exam
ined it carefully. Again the partners
hung over their find, scarcely daring
to hope, and dazed by hopes of for
tune in their hands they were afraid
of the blow that would follow a de-
cision that the stone was no diamond.
But their hopes were well founded.
Lucky Diggers Made Rich.
After the news became known dig
gers crowded around, the stone was
examined and re-examined and was
finally pronounced amid wild excite
ment to be the genuine thing and
worth fortune When the news reach
ed Barley West, the center of Griqu-
land, West Alluvia diggings, diggers
and diamond buyers hurried on horse
back and in motor cars to Gonggong'
The diamond was weighed and bids
began to be made to the lucky diggersl
bids of amounts that to them appear
ed fabulous.
They kept their heads, however, and
refused to sell until they could get
their find properly valued. 1t was
bought at last by three men named
Allen, Russell and Crudginton. 1t was
christened the "Arc" and has already
taken its place among the world,
greatest gems.
The diggers are made rich, but the
child who was their making hes burie(

less than the $4,000 a month alimony
she demanded.
Mrs. Joyce will accept less than
that amount" said Kirkland. "She
found that Mr.. Joyce is not as rich as
he led her to believe when he told her
he had an income of million a year"
Peggy, charged with being the frail
blonde lure of hosts of men, still wants
lots of money, tho.

live high" said Kirkland. Fourteen
months of their married life he admits
she cost him 81, 100000. She is still
entitled to live in the style she was ac-
customed to during, that time"
Judge SABBATH was to rule late today

that Peggy be hailed into court. Peggy,
