That there have been, within historic times, brief
notifications Of the Polar rigors, we have indubitabe
evidence
1t Is told in some of the written records of the
Norsemen that about the year 500 there to the
far north period of unusually warm Summers and
mild Winters So warm was It that the ice which had
been locked in solid sheets for centuries melted and
broke up in Summer and the Winters not cold
enough to freeze again the polar sea.
1t appears that in about the third and last year Of
this warmth, large expedition, carrying women and
children made It's way from Scandinavia, mred by the
legends Of an unknown land to the north. After they
had gone and within the time they could have had
opportunity to reach the lost land the unusual weather

This may well describe
q sudden, cataclysmic
arrival of a glacial age
upon the polar continent,
q catastrophe which also
dropped a curtain be-
tween it and the rest of
the world.
But man Is adaptable.
He SurmOuntS vast diff

not at all impossible to
imagine that these men

continuing life on their

though they could not

BOIL WEEVIL NUMER-
Gus IN MEMPHIS
TRADE TERRITORY

CBy z. r. Lloyd and c. W. Watson
During the past few days the DO
Weevil has appeared on cotton Il
greater numbers than ever before a
this season of the year. Now tina
we have them the question NATURAL,
arises What shall we do to proven
serious damage?"
, We must make a full cotton crol
this wear if possible and the price
I promises to be high.
Where the farmer has a small cot
ton crop and children available tc
pick the weevil now and later to PICK
the punctured squares, it will un-
d~oubtedly pay. This method is not
as difficult as it would seem lnasmuch
as the weevil is not general through
out the field ;5 this time of the year.
But if is only found in certain spots
over the field and more likely to be
discovered on cotton nea the fence
rows, ditch banks, cotton houses,
stumps and near the woodland.
If local places in the cotton field
are thoroughly gone over at least
twice each week during June and
July and cultivation kept up, the in
lection may be held down to a mini
mum. The punctured squares al
ways turn yellow about the third
or fourth day and the majority of
them fall to the ground. But in any
event these can be gathered and
burned while the weevil can usually
be found during the month of June
in the top of the stalk and most of
the time in the terminal bud. To
catch this weevil will prevent the
puncturing on the average of 140
squares and will eliminate other gen.
erations.
Don't Bother About Your Neighbours
Weevils.
The weevil in adjoining fields will
not interfere with your operation as
the old weevil never migrates from
one farm to another during this
period of the year. To control in
festation you do not have to deal
with weevil from other farms until
about August 10. The general flight
or new generation begins at this
time when they migrate from one
farm to another and unless a crop is
well set prior to that time it is
doubtful if we can depend upon a full
crop or yield.
Poison Methods.
Where acreage is too large to hand
pick the weevil and squares or where
is not available and where land
will ordinarily produce one-half bale
per acre the use of poison is highly
advisable and has proved profitable
when done intelligently. Make first

Application June 20-25. The cost per
acre for each application for the
calcium ~arsenate is around $1.OO per
acre or about $500 per acre for the
season when calcium ~arsenate retails
around 13c per pound. Calcium arse
nate IS the only poison so far that has
proved effective and may be applied
with any standard hand or power
machine.
The one row hand gun costs around
$1,000 and is designed to take care
of from 8 to 10 acres each season.
The two row, saddle gun, will cost
approximately $4,000 to $4,000 and
will take care of from 20 to rs acres.
The two row., One-mule machine, will
cost about $4,000 and will take
care OF from so to 60 acres per seas
on. The three row power machine,
costs around $4,000 and is intend
ed to take care of from 100 to 1875
acres. The Government authorities
positively state that it is money and
time wasted if poison methods are
not done intelligently. In other
words, carelessness should be avoided.
If an application is made and rain
immediately washes the poison from
the cotton, another application should
be made at once. The idea is TO keep
poison IN the plant. Don't apply dur
high winds. Be sure that plant
is moist or apply when dew is on the
