COUNTY FAIR HAS ONE OF

The Tenth Annual Exhibition O.
the Chesterfield County Fair is il
full blast this week.
Tuesday set the record for opening
day, being children's day, anc
the grounds were crowded practic
ally all dav and way into the night.
Though this Fair has been stead
lily improving there is one respect
in which it has far surpassed any.
thing hoped for. That is in the poul.
try department.
If the Advertiser alone made the
assertion that there is not a better
Rhode Island Red show in the United
States than the one now on exhibition
at the Chesterfield County Fai,
Grounds, the statement would be re.
cieved with doubt and misgivings.
But here is the statement of Judge
w. H. Card, of Manchester, Conn.
secretary of the Rhode Island Red
Club of America:
"This show ranks with Boston
Mass, and with New York City. II
is better than Syracuse, N. Y, and ]
doubt if there is another county in
the United States that has.as many
Reds that are as fine in color, shape
and size"
Judge Card is the highest author
ity in the United States on this breed
and is expert on all breeds.

ANNOUNCE METHOD FOR
BOIL WEEVIL CONTROL,

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Nov.11. -Devel-
opment of satisfactory method of
controlling the boil weevil on short
staple, or upland cotton was an
nounced here tonight, by DIR. Wilson
Newell, plant commissioner for the
state plant board and director of the
University of Florida experiment
station.
DR.. NewelPs announcement was
made as the result of the successful
elimination Of research work by
George D. Smith, associate entomol-
ogist, conducted under the auspices
OF the State Plant board.
The method involves a principle in
boil weevil control therefore not
recognized by other investigators.
DR.. Newell stated and he added tina;
the total cost of treatment, labor in
cluded, does no exceed $1.50 or $500
an acre.
In the fields treated, the cotton
crop in nearly every instance has
been as large as that obtained prior
to the advent of the weevil.
While some poison is used the
amount is comparatively small, DIR.
Newell said.
BY means of the improved method
cotton field is cleared of practic-
ally all boil weevils early in June
and remains in that condition for
several weeks. During this period
good crop of bolls is set without
weevil interference.
Both the state plant board and the
experiment station will issue immedi-
ately bulletins on the improved meth
ID of control.
"The boil weevil's weak point has
been found" declared DR.. Newell"
and by this method of control the
farmer will be able to hand him a
iolar plexus blow"

The strangest waiting list" on

On it are the names of more than
fifty men, all of them soldiers on

they are known as blood donors.
BY entering their names on the list
they have signified a willingness to

And this is often. Hardly a day

'SOVIETS REFUSE
TO ALTER DEMANDS
AT HAGUE PARLEY
Litvinoff Charges Bad
Faith as Conference
Proves Failure.

THE HAGUE. July l2.-The
Hague conference on Russia is
over-actually though not officially.
While there has been no final
rupture there seems to be little
possibility of a resumption of nego-
tiations without a climb-down by
the Russians, and NJ. Litvinoff, the
chief Soviet delegate, shows not
the slightest indication of doing
this.
The British are expected to make
another effort to induce Litvinoff
to reconsider his uncompromising
attitude before trunks are packed.
but ii is declared on all sides that
the conference is over.
The situation came to a climax
when at the meeting of the prop
erty sub-commission Sir Philip
Lloyd-Graeme, the British delegate,
bluntly said there was no use in
talking on forever, and permitting
the Russians to rake over the old
questions continually and to keep
barking back to their old position
of demanding credits first.
Admission that the conference
has reached its final stage was
made by Litvinofr in an Interview
later. He declared cynically that
the Russian members had only
one thing to do-find a pretext for
blaming the rupture on the Soviet
Litvinoff charged
the Russian delegates with bad
faith, saying the Soviets gave all
the required replies but received
no information regarding credits.
He predicted that the non-Rus-
sian delegates would make a long
declaration pledging themselves
not to make private settlements
with Russia.
But IL will be only a scrap of
paper" he said. II know that one
by one the European nations will
come to us and will seek private
credits and get them. You can't

will not accept the status Of
