and questioned, without the slightest
restraint ! met numerous men and
women who were not Communists, who
told me why. Critics and oppor:I
of the government were encountered
moro than once, and they made no
concealment Of their views. A droshky
driver, who berated the Bolsheviki in
his chance passengers, and prayed for
the return of the good old days Of the
Car, gave me one Of my best stories. ="
TERRORISM may have prevailed in
Moscow once; If so, it prevails no
more.
country, which has been described as
the centre of all evil and misery, and
where famine and disease still rage in
certain areas! What is the cxplana-
ton? That is another story, but
here's the gist of it: The famine and
disease are the last chapter in the
dreadful tragedy of agony and death
written in Russia during the last five
years by the great war, the Allied
blockade, the counter er-revolutionary
conspiracies and invasions, and last,
the failure of the harvest.
The turn in the tide has now come.
Russia is recovering. She is started
on the upward road. The bleak WIN
ter of misery is behind her, and the
warm summer of happiness and pros
perity is ahead. This is the reason
why Russia, or at least Moscow,
seems so cheerful, stimulating, in
spring. After the decentralization Of
Germany, and the dead despair Of
Austria, Russia seems the brightest
spot in Europe. 1t is the one place
where the future seems a thing of
nope and not OF dread and terror. II
I had to gamble on the future Of the
various European nations a decade
or q quarter century hence, / would
place my stakes on Soviet Russia
every time.

KILL HIM NOW
Whittlc Gives Advice Relative to Oes-
truction of Boil Weevil.

WhIttlc Gives AdVIce EeIa1iVe 10 LOS
truction of Boil WecviI.
Ono OF the most effective steps in
boil wScvil coGtrol is the carly destruc-
ton of cotton stalks, writes G. A.
Whittlc of the Soil Improvement Com
mittcc. Just as soon as the cotton can
be harvested, so into the cotton field
or rip them up with plow. The
object is to destroy the cotton pants.
Weeviis can not feed on dead cotton
stalks. When their food is destroyed
they migrate to where they can feed
or else go into winter quarters. Whcth-
er they are thus driven away from your
farm or driven into winter quarters
the probabilities of their damaging you
again next season are greatly reduced.
Over most Of the cotton hclt it is
possible to gather the cotton carly
enough to permit of tho destruction of
the cotton stalks three to four weeks
before q killing frost will destroy them.
Three to four weeks earlier in going
into winter quarters means that death
will be greatly increased.
It is the last weevils that so into
winter quarters that cause damage in
the cotton crop the next year. If all
of these were starved out by destroy
ing cotton stalks early there would
of course, be an end of the weevil.
While one can not expect that cotton
will ever be destroyed early and COM
pletely enough TO accomplish COM
plete eradication OF the weevil, it is
true that to the extent that this is
| done the number Of wecvils and their
damage will be reduced.
Chopping down stalks leaves stubs
that sprout new growth on which the
weevil can feed, therefore, the only
safe way is to uproot the stalks or else,.
with the aid of drag chain to turn
them completely under the fulTow
slice.
Knowing that many cotton farmers
do not plow deep enough to cover up
cotton stalks, the safest general advice
is to uproot the stalks with a ploW
and to watch that no new growth
starts up.
AS long as there is green cotton
growth left in the field, the weevil will
be found.
1t will crawl into lock of cotton or
half opened bur to keep warm and
come out when the sun shines to feed
on the green stuff.
Don't burn the cotton stalks. Let
them lay on the ground. When the
ground is plowed they can be turned
under where they will decay and add
the organic matter which the soils so
much need.
Why not organize a COMMUNICATIVE,
or country wide movement for the
early destruction of cotton stalks. 1t
means less trouble from the weevil
next year.
