weevils concentrate on them instead
of scattering over larger areas, and
they serve to certain extent as trap
crops making it possible to poison the
weevils on these fields and thus pre-
vent their spread over the remainder
of the crop.
Early Crop Most Important Thing
THE production of cotton in the
presence of weevils is nothing more
or less than race between the set
ting of bolls on the plant and the
multiplication of the weevils, and
everything possible should be done to
AID the cotton plants in winning this
race. The following are some of the
more important steps which may be
taken: Early removal of plants and
preparation of land. The first steo
IN procuring an early crop is the early
removal of the plants so that the land
may be plowed during the fall and
winter and the seed bed thoroughly

Is only local measure, stock in re-
gions where the bulk of the cotton is
produce is insufficient for. the pur-
pose. Even where poisoning is prac-
ticed fall grazing is still advisable and
no danger need be apprehended of
poisoning the stock, since there is
rarely sufficient poison on the plants
to injure stock even Immediately, af-
ter an application, and, furthermore,
there is generally considerable pc
riod of time elapsing between the last
poison and the earliest grazing.
considerable local difficulty in the
control OF the boil weevil is expert
enced in southern Texas and occa-
sionaiiy in Louisiana due to the pres
encc of StumpaGe or sprout cotton.
Sprout plants are sometimes encour-
aged on account of the production of
small, but very early crop. This
may have been defensible before the
advent Of the boil wevil, but at the
present time the practice is undoubt-
edly the worst that could possibly be
followed. The weevils seek out these
large plants in the early spring and
thus produce progeny much earlier
than would otherwise be the case and
these progeny serve to infest the
planted cotton at an abnormally ear
ly date. The same applies to volun-
teer cotton over a considerable por-
ton of the cotton belt.
1T is often possible for the farmer
to considerably reduce his spring
weevil infestation by proper winter
cleanup measures around his fields.
Nearly every farmer who has been
raising cotton for few years in the
presence of the boil weevil knows that
there are certain fields on his place
where the weevils always appear and
and heaviest. With this information
as basis it is possible to reducc the
damage by refraining from planting
cotton in such fields and planting the
more distanct fields. However, this
practice * advisable only when no
attempt is made to control the wccvil
by poisoning and quite the reverse is
generally to be recommended when
poisoning is practiccd. These fields
adjoining timber, where the weevil in
festation is heavicst,are generally the
news lands of the place and are thus
the most fertile and capable of pro-
ducing the best cotton crop if the
wccvil injury is eliminated Further

Intense cultivation will, nine times

Please bear that in mind.
While every farmer who has cotton
planted on fairly good land, and is
determined to produce good cotton
crop despite the boil weevil, should
be organized to fight the excess in
festation with calcium arsenate, if the
summer is a dry one that additional
expense can absolutely be avoided by
fast cultivating along intelligent lines

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
By JAMES c. YOUNG.
A NOBLE ENGLISH VAMPIRE.
,s1oucaoooceots.s.se s.seoe,s,,s,,.o.,.to

TIiREE OF England's dukes are dl-
rect descendants Of Frances How
ard, born In 1893, and one of the few
English women who may be truly
called vampires. Her father was the
earl of Suffolk, and at the age of thir-
teen he married her to the earl Of
Essex, Il year older. But she did not
live with him until 1911, though In
the m"antim" she had become mis-
tress to the earl of Somerset, favortc
of King James |.
Frances dahbI"d with soothsayers
ana ON" of these. Mrs. Turner, got
into trouble. 81" made 1t known that
Frances had considered poisoning her
husband, whom she hated. The matter
was hushed up and Frances procured
annulmcnt Of her wedding ties. Then
she promptly married the earl of Som
erSet. Sir Thomas OVERLY, the earrs
friend, earned her undying hatred by
opposing the match. Frances schemed
to have him imprisoned i'm the tower
OF London. Then she set out to poison
him. Sir Thomas was aware of the
plot against his. life and took anti
dotes which Offset the posons given
to him In food. So strong was his
constitution that II seemed he never
would die. But finally the end came.
Then new honors were shOwered upon
Frances and her husband. DesDlte
this, retribution was near. A new
favorite arose ut court, the ugly
stories OF Overby's end were whispered
everywhere. Weston, the keeper whc
had been responsible for the death OF
OVERLY, was arrested and confessed
He was hanged. then Sir Gervase Hely
wys, lieutenant Of the tower, met the
same fate. Mrs. Turner, who had II
hand In the plot, also went to the scaf.
fold, along with the apothecary who
mixed the poisOns.
The earl OF Somerset and Frances
were tried and condemned 1t seemed
fhat both were to pay the heaviest
price which the law could exact, but
the power Of their families finally won
pardon for them, and although their
estates were confiscated, each received
pension and the right to life. when
four of the lesser guilty ones had been
executed. They were forbidden to stay
In London and made to fix their resi-
dcnce at country place. Perhaps this
was the severest penalty that could
have been inflicted for Frances grew
to hate the man whom She had loved
with such infatuation, and he saw In
her only the instrument of his dis
grace and the tool Of fate which had
led to the murder Of his friend. Tie
lnst years of Frances were filled viii,
traS' j. and remOrSe. She died AT
thrty-niHc, leaving an Infamous
memory behind her.

CALIFORNIA JOE'S JOKE ON THE

California Joe was a man Of mys-

saying it was Joseph Milmer, and 9TH

ever 1t may have been made little diff
ference In his fame, for his title Of

campaigns was made lighter for the
ci!lccrs he served by one of his pranks.
One time during the Sioux war OF
1876, while he was scouting for Col.
AnSOn Mills. he discovered an old
grave along the trail. Joe stopped,
took Off his hat and bowed his head
reverenuy. The soldiers Immediately
did the same and asked him the rea-
son for his act.
This here is the grave of poor
Amos Billings" said Joe. "He was
with me back In 1886 when we dug
gold In the Black Hills. We got so
much that we had all our pockets
full. and even our mules wuz loaded
to tn las pound. One night we
camped right on this spot. and thet
night poor Amos took the cramps.

1.-THE MUSCLE SHOALS PROJECT

At this writing it is not known
what will be the result of the Muscle
/ Shoals offer from Henry Ford. In one
respect it may be unfortunate that
the matter was turned over to Con-
gress for decision. While there are
some able and patriotic Congressman
there are others who permit sectional
prejudices to influence all of their ac-
tions. 1t is realized that the taking
over by Henry Ford Of the Muscle
Shoals which will of course result in a
great boom to the South on account
of the development of all that sec
tion Of the country adjacent TO the
shoals and even hundreds of miles
from it.
But that very fact would cause
some of the enemies of the South to
oppose the Ford proposal.
AS the Atlanta Journal suggests,
Mr.. Ford has called attention TO the
Industrial possibilities of the South
east to be attained by full utilization
of it's enormous water-power re-
sources. On this point alone he has
rendered this section most valuable
service. Whether the Government
leases him The project on the basis he
submits or some other basis, he has
given the Southeast large amount rf
very valuable advertising with re-
gard to its industrial future.
1t is stated upon good authority
that Mr.. Ford's plans are so stu
penduous that they embrace the
building OF town Is miles long from
Muscle Shoals
In addition to the opening up and
developing of all the Southeast sec
ton the production of cheap fci tilZ-
ers by means of nitrogen taken from
the air will be a benefit to all of .hc
farmers of the South.
Mr.. Edison has stated in reference
to the Ford plan that Muscle Shoals
if developed as Mr.. Ford proposes TO
develop it will produce a vast guam
tity of nitrogen at a very small cost.
This would mean the substitution of
high grade fertilizers at a low price
for low grade fertilizer at Il high
price.
1t is to be hoped that the action of
Congress in this matter will be in the
interest Of the greatest good to the
greatest number.
The wonderful success OF Henry
Ford as great manufacturer and or
s:s2c:Zer points tn him AS the proper
man to handle the Muscle Shoals pro-
iect.
