Who will say that the English

right idea in combing the public

Ever since France, for centuries
non-athletic, produced a Carpen-
tier and a Lenglen, sport loving
England has been in a dubious
mood. The rise of these two phen-
onoenons was greeted at first with
amused indifference. But later
when British champions fell sue
cessively before them, the attitude
changed to one of grim determin-
alton that sooner or later-and the
sooner the better-old Albion
would produce outstanding per
formers qualified to reassert the
supremacy of the Angio-Saxon
sporting specialists.
The search for some pugilistic
protagonist has thus far been flu
tile, but today the writer has word

ed from the public parks a girl
who gives every promise of devel-

has been withdrawn from public

pionships has been selected as the
time when the new luminary will

Carl Lundgren, the University of
Illinois baseball coach, is credited
with having developed more fam
Gus baseball big league players than
any other college mentor. Some of
his products are Sisler, BRANDED,
Ferguson, k.node and Parks. Some
there may be who will regard
Lundgren's reputation in this re-
spect as dubious. They will ar
que that far more valuable to a
college is the coach who will teach
men to play baseball while at the
same time intoxicating in them the
wholesome idea that the game they
are playing Is not so much an end
in itself as a means of developing
desirable qualities for application
to the great worlds work after
they have been graduated.

Work in weevil destruction at this

is argued.
Farmers throughout this section were
urged early in the fall by local bankers
to begin the fight on the weevil by
Burning off all stalks. and destroying
any place where they might hibernate
for the winter. A majority of grow

burned off greater portion Of the

far removed from the actual cotton
field. The insect so found is at the
mercy of the farmer as he can rake
up and destroy by burning all such
trash.
This work il is argued would be well
worth while on general principals if
no wecvils whatever were found. With
the wecvil present. the farmer invites
loss who does not clean his fields to
the best of his ability.

fly out of the cotton fields, it is said
that not all are beyond reach of the
farmer Many are TO be found along
turn rows, fences, hedges, old build

places and the burning of all trash will
remove the weevil that would live
otherwise to destroy the crop.
Old sorghum fields are a favorite hi

Of its roughness and its tendency TO
catch all trash moved about by the
WIND. SUCH places have been FIRE

One of the best possible sources of

Control VIII Lessen Menace
Cotton experts do not contend that
the application of all the above meth
ods will entirely eradicate the weevil
in years when climatic conditions are
favorable TO its propagation. These

lessen the ravaees, and are Urged to
be applied by all who contemplate an
increased cotton acreage in this county
