COTTON ACREAGE
INCREASED, Said.
Farmers Learn to Fight Boil
Weevil in Systematic Way;
Lack of Rain Prevents
Grain Planting.


Indications are that cotton acreagcs
will be considerably increased in this
section next season, according to relia-
Bile reports from prominent farmers
throughout the county.
Notwithstanding the boil weevI and
drought, the crop this season has ex-
ceeded expectations, and the price has
been such that il seems to have en-
couraged the cotton grower to Try more
acreage another year, at any rate such
is the opinion Of those who profess to
know.
Grain Crop Cut
Grain acreage will remain about the
same in some localities il will be cut,
while in others II will be slightly increas-
ed. Had rains fallen in time for early
fall plowing 1t is said that grain acre
age might have been increased but
with blowing in some localities almost
impossible on account of hard soil. un-
less the farmer was equipped with very
heavy motor power plowing was delayed
so long that grain acreage will be re-
duced.
Learn to Combat Pest
Farmers throughout this section have
begun to fight the boil weevil in a
systematic manner, and have learned
that if constant cultivation is practiced
throughout the growing season. that
the pest can be combatted in measure.
This has been demonstrated this sea.

the county, aided by dry weather arc

SWEPT OFF ALL VEGETATION
Ancient Records Tell of Visitation
of Loeusts That Were Followed
by Dire Famine.

A passage of locustS in France. in
1913, entirely cut up even to the roots
more than $4,000 acres of corn near
Aries, and had even penetrated into
the barns and granaries, when, as it
were by Providence, many hundreds of
birds, especially starlings, came to
diminish their numbers. Notwith-
standing this, nothing could be more
astonishing than their multiplication
for the fecundity of the locust is re-
markable.
Upon an order issued by the govern
ment for the collection of their eggs
more than 5000 measures were col
lected. from each of which. it was
calculated, would have issued nearly
two millions OF young ones. In 1850
they entered Russia in immense di-
visions in three places, thence passed
over into Poland and Lithuania. where
the air was darkened by their num-
bers. In many parts they lay dead to
the depth of four feet. Sometimes
they covered the surface of the
earth like a dark cloud. loaded the
trees, and the destruction which they
produced exceeded all calculation In
1915 immense swarms visited the
Islands Of Formosa and Tayowan and
caused such a famine that 5000 per-
sons died of hunger.

THRESHIMG MADE A PASTlME
italian Families Beat Wheat from
Straw in Rhythm, and Seem to
Enjoy the Work,

GsparinO Dante got up early Sun
day morning, and before the sun was
very high his days work was well
started on his farm near Capula, Italy.
The two daughterS-Oue eighteen and
the other fifteen-started (and fin
ished) the day with, the men. The
younger children were too small to be
scattered wheat over the stone thresh-
ing floor 50 that 1t would be ready
when the older members of the family
had finished with breakfast-bread
and cheese and coffee, for Dante can
afford coffee in the morning. He
owns thirty acres.
When threshing started, the father
paired with the Oldest girl on the
side of the floor; the other couple
stood side by side opposite. The four
fails were poised high in the air an
instant and then at shout from the
farmer one pair descended and as they
were lifted the couple opposite struck.
The four beat the grain, keeping
perfect time and pausing only while
the boy raked the straw into pile
at one side of the floor and swept the
kernels of wheat into another heap,
and threw down fresh supply.
Then, with a shouted signal that
seemed to welcome the new onslaught
the rhythm Of the humping started
again. The manner of the threshers
was more like that of couples dancing
an Old-fashioned quadrille than that
of harvest toilers under the blister
ing, binding midsummer sun of south
ern Italy.

"CONJURING" MADE FINE ART
Apparently There Is No Limit to tho
Creduiity of the Natives Of
South Africa.

Negroes that were brought to Amer
lea as slaves used to relate stories
of cOnjuror negroes in Africa who
could walk behind anybody and pick
up their tracks and put them in a
bag with poisonous spiders, toadfrogs,
tree-frogs, devils horseS-great big
grasshoppers with red and black
wings. Then doodlebugs and grub
worms would be put in. and cats fur
and piece of leather-wing bats wing,
and acknowledged worms and liz
ards tails and scorpions.
When the conjuror's bag was COM
pleted 1t was buried under the caves
Of the house where the victim of the
conjuror lived. The terrifying pains
would soon make themselves mani
fest, and In the veins, the stomach
and the bowels of the unfortunate
person the vermin and insects would
hold high carnival The victim was
doomed. No doctor could relieve him.
Only by propitiatng the conjuror was
there any hope. This could some
times be done by giving presents to
the conjuror. The poor conjured
wretch was avoided by all his ac-
quaintanceS. People did not like to
walk 'on the side Of the road where
the doomed man lived. When the
"coniur" was getting Off, the vermin
and insects would sometimes be heard
jumping out and falling down kerflop
on the ground.
Eleanor c. Gibbs relates this story
in the Atlantic Monthly as one told
to her by an old negro woman who
was brought from Africa and who de-
clared she knew these things to be
true from personal experience.
