How to Fight the Boil Weevil.

That the average man profits little
by the experience of others is thor
oughly demonstrated by the boil wee
vii situation in South Carolina. The
advent Of the boil weevil has been as
persistently preached by the Exten-
sion Service of South Carolina as the
coming of judgment day has been
preached by ministers of the gospel.
Notwithstanding this warning of the
past several years, 80 per cent of
the farmers of South Carolina are
unprepared and as consequence are
suffering great financial loss and
many will be ruined ultimately. In
some localities they will not average
over one or two bale to the plow;
over great areas not over 20 to 80
per cent Of a normal crop.
Do not understood that / am advo-
eating the entire elimination Of cot
ton from our agricultural program.
There are some farmers in South Car
olina who by practicing intelligent
cultural methods are growing cotton
profitably under boil weevil conditions,
notably Mr.. D. r. Coker of Hartsville
with whom I recently spent day.
On SIS acres this year, ne expects to
make $50 to ATS bales CT lorg staple
cotton. The following are his meth
ods and are generally recommended
by men experience in handling the
boil weevil problem
l. Plow under stalks Immediately
after cotton has been picked, first US
ing stalk cutter. At this same time
burn off all ditch banks and every
conceivable place where the weevil
may hibernate.
2. Make early and thorough prepa-
ration of the soil for early planting,
and use early maturing varieties Of
seed.
3. Apply a high grade fertilizer,
using 600 pounds per acre, with a side
dressing of nitrate of soda, 100
pounds per acre.
4. Provide frequent and rapid cul-
tivation Of the crop.
5. Pick up and burn squares at the

to carry it. But suppose $4,000 Social
lists had carried a banner declaring
the Fourteenth amendment, which
protects private property, is unconsti-
tutional." How quickly we ShOu',l
have arrested the leaders and put them
in Jail Yet it is the same constitution,
which the vets are denOuncing. that
the Reds are fuSSy about Why should
we not frankly allow the one who
wants to abolish prohibition and The
one who wants to abolish private prop

free speech and asSemblage is worse
than any evil which the booze booster

people for life.
The bride was reared in this vicin-
ity and the groom has made it his
home since returning from overseas,
where he served his country over two
years. A large number of friends and
relatives extend their best wishes.

Disarmament is a local as we'll as
an international issue. There is a
great deal to he said for the proposal
to make a government monopoly Of
the manufacture and distribution Of
reyolvers, permitting their use eXclu-
sively by officers entrusted with en-
forcement of the law, and of course
soldiers and sailors. AS Walt Mason
pointed out recently there is an in
c0ngruity in prohibiting the unrestrict-
ed sale of deadly pOisOns and permit
ting unhampered sale of a deadly wea-
pom. The very possession of a revol-
yer gives courage to an otherwise cow
ardly individual to attempt hOld-upS
and burglary. Many an OutburSt or
hasty temper might have passed harm
lessly or with little damage if the I'M
fortunate hot-head did not have a re-
volyer handy. Possession of such a
weapon also encourages the making OF
threats that lead to fatal quarrels.--

Mr.. Dietz has been collecting egi-
dence with which to back his claim
that Harp is living. He showed an
affidavit, signed by resident of Win
ter Sawyer county, to the effect that
the signer had seen and spoken to
Harp at Salt Lake City Utah, in Oc-
tober. 1913, three years after the al

and by his general appearance.

no charges for the post norton said
to have been performed on Harp, nor

TO disable Heenan by foul tactics in the
forty-frst round. but Heenan avoided it
and onca more sent the Englishman
sprawling on the turf.
The forty-second round was marked
by deliberate quit on the part of
Sayers, who refused to come out of his
corner. Heenan went across the ring
and struck Sayers as he sat. A battle
royal between Heenan and Sayerss Sec
onds then ensued, and Heenan was the
victor.
Realizing that there was no chance of
fair play. Heenan finally left the ring,
after declaring that he was the lawful
victor.
Under London rules. the referee was
empowered to bring the men together in
the ring at later date. but Dowling
also ignored this rule. Heenan tried his
best to meet Sayers again in the ring
but failed.
The nearest approach to fairness on
the part of the Englishmen was when
they returned Heenan's side stake of
$1,000.
When Heenan returned to America
he was the recipient of a purse of s10,-
coo subscribed by his admirers. Saycrs.
although defeated. received $4,000 from
Englishmen. Sayers never again en-
tered the ring after the beating he re-
ceived from Heenan.
Although the treatment Heenan re-
ceived in his battle with Sayers should
have restrained him from again visiting
England, he went across later on and
was so maltreated that 1t ended his ca
reer as n pugilist. His experiences on
his second trip across the sea will be
