So far as know we have not
attempted any experiments with
"Weevilnip," nor am 1 acquainted
with this particular connection or
the many virtues it is now claimed
to possess.
The boil weevil has infested por-
tons Of the cotton growing section
Of the United States for twenty or
twenty-five years, and, during that
time inventive genius has been ram
pant in an endeavor to devise some
means for it's control. Hundreds Of
machines have been made and tested
out, and exterminators and remedies
have been proposd as well. None
of them have proved to possess any
real efficiency against the depreda-
tons of the boil weevil as 1 have
been able to gather.
I lived in Texas when the weevil
crossed the Mexican border into that
state. So, have an intimate &C.
quaintanceship with the fight which
mas been made against it, and |
nave seen many machines tested
out and am acquainted with many
nostrums which have been propound-
ed to accomplish the same end.
calcium arsenate in the form Of
a dust spray is the only remedy I
would advise one using at the pres
ent time. The government has spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
test out machines and weevil dope
medicines Of one kind and another,
and their conclusion is that the only
remedy so far available which DOS
sesses any material efficiency is cal.
cium arsenate. There are a lot of
people exploiting quack machines
and remedies who may have faith
in them, but some of which at least
are only trying to prey upon IAN un.
suspecting public. I have no sym.
pathy with any sort of propagandas.
They mislead our farmers and caus,
them to waste their time and en-.
ergy, and prevent them from reap
ing the benefits which ought to &C.
crue to those who intelligently and
consistently use a high grade of cal.
cium arsenate as a dust spray and
apply it with intelligence and skill
to their cotton.

The upstate gridsters were badly
crippled and it was necessary to use
two alumni men to fill in. An agree
ment was made whereby Coburn al
lowed this to be done, and "Joe"
Doasey and "Bud" Weymouth were
substituted into the regular Higgins
lineup. At no time did the Charles
ton warriors threaten the locals goal
while the maroon and gold kept the
ball on the opponents half of the field
most of the time.
Simpson was the individual star
OF the game as he was in every play
and featured more than a few times,
both in spectacular runs and stone
wall defense. In the second period
he was hurt in a scrmmage but did
not leave the game and a few minutes
later he ran punt 60 yards for a
touchdown. Shannahan played a
steady game and made his required
distance more than a few times, he
also made three of the five. touch
downs. He gave some wonderful ex-
hibitions of fast end runs that put
him across three times. Ingraham
too, pulled the locals out of hole
several times with long punts.
Coburn scored their first touch
down few minutes after the start
of the game by hard line bucks and

Rome, Oct. c9.-(By A. P)-After
the refusal Of Antonio salandra, for

the king called on Mussolini, the Fas-
cisti leader. to assume the task. 1t is

Deputy Chostri, describing the situa-
ton this morning, said that Southern
Italy had been isolated from the rest
of the country by bands of Fascist
commanded by deputy Caradonna.
Other bands were encircling the
towns in Basilicata and Calabria. The
Fascist had occupied the airdrome at
Foggia, Tuscany and Umbria were
entirely theirs.
A semi-official statement declared
that with the exception of certain iso-
lated incidents Of an unimportant
character. the country was absolutely
tranquil and the cabinet was approach

of the police and military. regulations
OF yesterday had been withdrawn; mo-

armed patrols were still to be seen in
the streets. Cavalry occupied strategic
points and the entire garrison was
kept in readiness.
Yesterday soldiers proceeded to the
outskirts of the town and set up
barbed wire entanglements; the rail-
road lines were closely guarded and
all the bridges over the Tiber were
shut off with wire and guarded by
machine guns. The various ministries
and public buildings were occupied by
troops and the police cut of the cen.
