The Wool Con1hers.

In the Latin quarter of Paris one
often sees groups of bareheaded wom-
en-, sitting in some quiet corner of the
street, perhaps within church door,
picking and combing the wool of their
mattresses. No matter how poor a
French peasant may be- he almost al
ways possesses a comfortable bed with
a wool mattress.

the operate that the scale was
brought under control and has
never since become a menace in
in that region.
| The Hessian fly is a serious en-
emy of wheat and where it's at
tacks are pronounced it some
times destroys whole fields of that
cereal before they have much
more than begun their growth.
A study of the life history of this
species revealed the fact that the
adults of this fly appear at GER
tain definite seasons, and lay
their eggs in the wheat plants.
Working from this point it was
found that if the wheat is not
planted until after the flies have
made their appearance, the in
sects are forced to seek other
grasses and by the time the wheat
is above the ground the danger
from this source is past.
The campaign against the cot
ton-boll weevil in the Gulf States
is still progressing, and is begin
ming to show definite results.
The phylloxera in Europe, the
San Jose scale in America, the
migratory locust of the Western
United States and of certain parts
of Asia, the warefare against
these is continuous and still the
pests are present. Nevertheless,
If the efforts which are being ex-
pended against them should cease,
the result would be incalculable
loss to the agricultural activities
of the world.

for the planting of your crop.
All seed should be of the very
best possible to obtain. If pos
sible, get enough Express cotton
seed, the adopted standard for

other varieties grown and see
which will give the greatest

Thos, G. Williams Dead

Thos. G. Williams, son of J. T.
Williams of the Mt. Vernon neigh
borhood, and for several years a
teacher in the public schools of
this county, and a most exem-
plary young man, died last week
at his home in Sheffield, Ala,
where he was a city mail carrier.
Following is an account of his
death which appeared in the
Sheffield newspaper:
Thos. G. Williams, city letter
carrier in the Sheffield postoffice,
died at his home on 26th street
late yesterday afternoon, death
resulting from pneumonia which
had its inception early last week,
and from which he never rallied
after being stricken.
Mr.. Williams is survived by his
wife and three small children;
also by his father and mother,
two brothers and four sisters, all
of whom were with him during
his illness except one brother and
three sisters. having come from
their homes in Stantonville, Tenn,

Florence; interment taking place
in Oakwood cemetery. Many
friends were present at the SER
vices, and among the floral offer
ings was one from the postmaster
and employees personnel of the
post Office. The bereaved family
has the sympathy of the entire
community
The pallbearers were: E. v.
Srygley, 0. A. Williams, Elliot
Murphy, Cole Jefferies, A. P.
Scroggin and Robert Mitchell,
employers of the Sheffield post
office. By reason of his position
he was known to a large number
of this city s people. Tribute was
paid him today by Postmaster
Little as follows:
Everyone of us in the post
office is greatly grieved over the
untimely death of Thos. G. Will
liams. When he complained of
being i'll last week none of us
suspected that he had been strick-
en- with pneumonia. He was re,
lieved of duty in spite of his own
desire to remain at work. He
had worked valiantly during the
holiday period and during the re-
cent bad weather and no doubt
he had overtaxed himself.
1t seems prophetic that death
should have overtaken Mr.. Will
liams just at a time Immediately
following his affirmation as a reg
ular carrier after having served
his probationary period of six
menths in the local office. Our
records show that not a complaint
had come from anyone about his
work, but on the other hand in

With the prospect of a heavy
infestation of boil weevils this
year it is almost necessary to use
some fertilizer under every acre
of cotton. If we are to make a
crop of cotton we must make it
early. Fertilizer will do much to
hasten the early growth and also
to make it fruit early. A few
dollars spent for fertilizers may
mean a crop of cotton.

Don't forget that February 20
