MISSIONARY NEWS Notes

The February meeting of the Wo-
mans Missionary Society Of the
Methodist Church had the largest at
tendance Monday afternoon of any
meeting within the past few years.
An interesting program had been pre-
pared, and every one present seemed
deeply interested in the work. Cuba
was the Mission field studied with
special emphasis on the work in and
around Havana. The social religious
and moral life of the people, along
with the history of the Island made
this most interesting study
Since the establishment of the first
protestant Church, the Methodist
Cathedral, erected at Matanzas and
dedicated in 1900, the work has gone
forward rapidly until today we have
at least fifty permanent Church
buildings on the island with mem.
bcrship of nearly 500. We have
splendid schools throughout the
length of the island with steady de-
mand for more schools and teachers.
The United States gave Cuba her
political freedom and now the Church
must give her religious freedom.
Catholicism and heathenism must be
supplanted by the true religion Of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Day of Prayer for Mission, March
3rd, 1922.
The first Friday in Lent, March 3,
1922, will be observed throughout
Canada and the United States as the
Day of Prayer for Missions. The
Council Of Women for Home Missions
and the Federation Of Woman's
Boards of Foreign Missions through a
joint committee annually publish q
program for this inter r-denominational
observance. This year it takes the
form of a Service Of Prayer and
Praise suitable for adults and young
people Of either sex. From the Holy
Scriptures responsive readings include

NOTES BY THE COUNTY
DEMONSTRATION AGENT

We are now hearing great deal
of talk about planting the small boil
ed early cottons, such as Simpkins
and King. This was expected the
same old story that has followed the
boil weevil from the Rio Grande to
the Carolinas. OF course the farmers
in Texas, Mississippi and the older in
Tested territories have long ago had
their dosage and they no longer plant
those varieties. They have thorough
ly satisfied themselves that the good
old standard varieties like Cleveland
Big Boil are the best cottons to plant
or no Weevil.
Simpkns and King stop putting on
squares at a very early date. Have
you ever thought what will happen to
those thin bolls already made when
your Simpkins stops squaring around
let's say early August? You know
Mr.. Weevil must have his feed, if not
Then that which is next best-cotton
bolls.
| now have on hand quite a supply
of garden seed sent me by Congress
man Logan for distribution. | shall
be glad to give them out to those de-
string them, as long as the supply
lasts.
wish to call the attention of our
farmers to the following article on
boil weevil poisoning. l want to
commend this to your careful reading
and thought. Remember that the
writer, Prof. Conradi, is an authority
on the subject, and as he states "only
carefully conducted tests are worthy
Of attention"

ness Of a substance by pouring it from,

whatever to natural rainfall where
the drops travel downwards hundreds
of feet before they strike the plant.
Only Carefully Conducted Tests ,Wor-
thy of Attention.
No material advantage has yet
been secured from the use of 'sweeten-
ed poison in carefully conducted OK
periments throughout the last twenty
two years, except apparently in one
instance when applied to very young
plants in hot, dry weather which by
itself would have little significance.
In this experiment the weather was
against the weeyil, and as no evidence
has been secured so far that the wee
vii is attracted by any sweet, it may
be assumed that the weevil was at
tractcd by the droplets of moisture.
Some one says: "John Brown tried
it checked? How did he know that
the swcetcned poison was the deter
mining factor in making his crop?
Bill Grimes tried it and got nothing.
John Brown also says he treated his
seed with sulphur and made a crop.
Now would you believe this just be-
cause John Brown said so? Sam
Stokes says the weevil lives in the
roots Of cocklebur. Now this is not
so, but would you swallow it just be-
cause Sam says so?
Our recommendation are based
altogether on the results secured from
carefully conducted experiments re-
gardless Of, who made them provided
it was a qualified experimentor who
made provisions for determining by
checks the value of the various fac
tors that entered into the problem.
Careful Study of the Situation
Advised.
In our recent Office letter, "Boll
Weevil Poisoning in 1922" we, set
forth as accurately as we could the
conditions under which poisoning may
be expected to pay. We confine our
selves to the use of calcium arsenate
in dust form, on account Of the avail
able records of positive results and
also on account of the comparative
economy in time and labor. We re-
commend that every farmer who in-
tends to use poison obtain immediate
ly full information in regard to the
use of poison, as we'll as dusting ma
chimes, and study the problem with
the greatest care and effort. A care
full study of the method and conditions
under which poisoning may be expect
ed to yield profitable results consti-
tutes the first step in poisoning pro-
gram. Any one not willing to do this,
we are sure, makes a serious mistake
to invest money in poisons or ma
chimes. Manufacturers are now study
ing the probable OUTPUT for 1922, and
those desiring to learn something
about the matter should not wait un-
til the last moment to purchase ma
chine, because they may upset the
entire poisoning problem. A definite
scheulc for poisoning will be issued in
ample time before the poisoning sea-

Hiram W. johnson will probably win
the republican nomination at the polls
next Wednesday, but the indications
are that his victory will be by such a
minor plurality as to seriously impair
his political prestige in the future.

h~lbltlonists make up the remainder. OF
the largest primary registration ever
known in the state.
Republicans Have Majority
The republicans, with their over
whelmlng registration, are making the
most noise and naturally would seem to
offer a clear path to victory. Thou
sands of democrats and independents
have registered as republicans in or
der to mix up in the primary quarrels
of that party and, with the large bloc
that refused to state party preference,
can only take part in the primaries by
writing in the names of independents
and perhaps another half million voters
who will register for the general cleo
ton, will hold a predominating balance
of power if brought into the camp of a
successful candidate at the primaries,
be he democrat or republican.
There is still another and more
dynamic element of uncertainty that
gives even the powerful Senator John
son. as a candidate for reelection,
pause in this unique campaign. The
republicans of the state are divided
into two camps and engaged in a bitter
inter-war which knows no quarter. The
task of bringing them together again
after the primaries is bound to be a
difficult on. and many of the leaders.
willingly and openly taking the lead at
this time, have announced that if the
man they are fighting in the primary
wins, they will work and vote for his
democratic opponent at the general
election.
1t is just this phase of the campaign
that makes it unique in the political
history of the state, if not of the coun-
try. 1t is almost entirely a negative
campaign-one of protest and EXPIRES
sion through the ballot of personal dis
like and enmity.

Rankin Will Win
for Senator

That Attorney General Wellington
Rankin will win the Republican nom
"ination for United States senator is
generally predicted by supporters of
his candidacy all over the state, ac-
cording to reports received at the Ran
kin for Senator club headquarters in
Helena.
Not only has Mr.. Rankin support
among individual voters, but he also
has supporters among organizations
throughout cities. towns and rural dis
trIcts.
Organized farmers, labor organiza-
tons and craft unions. professional
men everywhere have taken an open
stand IN support of Mr.. Rankin's can
didacy. Reports received at his club
headquarters are to the effect that
support for Rankin for senator is con
stantly gaining as the date for the pri-
mary election draws nearer, so much
so that the belief now has become
universal that he will win.
MIR. Rankins support is based on
the fact that he is progressive, ag-
gressive and competent. His career in
public life has proved that he is emf
nently fitted for the goal he seeks. He
has made good his campaign pledges
during the term he has served the state
as attorney general. having performed
his duties without fear or favor. His
supporters declare that his collegiate
training has especially fitted him for
becoming a rapidly known national fig
ure in the Upper branch of congress.
For these reasons the slogan has
spread to every nook and corner of
the state TO the effect that
