FARM NEWS OF INTEREST
TO Upton COUNTY FARMERS

A dairy campaign viii be held in
the county during the first part Of
August, with meetings afternoons
and nights. County Agent Hollings-
worth viii be assisted by A. r. Gwinn
and other members Of the Develop
ment Bureau Of the Illinois Central
railroad. There is perhaps no one
industry in Upton county that has
made the progress that dairying has
made in the past year. When the
first campaign was started in July
Of last year there was one farmer
shipping cream. Today there are
zoo shipping regularly, with others
being added to the list every week.
A conservative estimate Of the
monthly income from this one indus
try is $4,000, which means, with no
additions, that during the year 1922
the cream shipped from this county
viii bring in $4,000, With the many
additions being made to the list, it
is probable that within few weeks
this one industry can be called the
100000 COW Of Upton county.
A letter being sent out by District
Agent H. S. Nichols gives the fol-
lowing facts about the boil weevil:
The Mexican boil weevil has shown
up in several counties in West Ten
nessee in large numbers and can
probably be found to some extent in
every cotton-growing county in this
section. Where they are found at
this season Of the year in any an
preciable numbers it will be impos-
sible to produce full crop of cotton.
just what per cent. of a crop can be
produced can not be estimated at this
time, but will depend largely upon
the weather conditions in July and
August.
History-The boil weevil was first
found in Central America feeding
upon wild cotton as early as 1913. It
continued its spread through Mexico
without attracting attention and
crossed the river into Texas in 1892.
For several years little damage re-
suited, but about the years 1902, 1903
and 1904 much serious damage was
done, In 1907 it crossed the Missis-
sippi river into Mississippi. Its
spread has been at the rate of APP
proximately 30 miles to the north and
30 miles to the east annually. It is
now found in every cotton-produeing
state, with the probable exception of
Arizona.
Life History-The weevil passes
the winter in adult stage under trash,
bark of trees, about stumps and in
rubbish of all kinds. The adult
weevil energies from Information in
the spring, beginning early and prob
ably lasting for several weeks. AS
soon as it is out of winter quarters
the search for cotton begins. Until
squares are formed it is to be found
in the terminal bud of the cotton
plant, sucking the juices from the
tender bud AS soon as squares APP
pear eggs are laid in the squares and
young bolls. Usually each female
lays from 100 to $50 eggs, the eggs

pupal stage, and emerging as an
adult in from II to "a days, depend
ing upon the season Of the year. The
life Of the adult is about SO days dur
ing the growing season. One pair of
weevils beginning in early spring
can produce offsprings estimated to
number 12,500,00O during the sea

contrary, the weevils live on cotton

proud.
Surely one who has lived in Geor-
,gia as long as ten years can write
most auently of her resources as they
well know them.
Her schools are good, her lands
are fertile, her scenery is wonderful
Then what more would one need to
write song? For no one could live
in Georgia for ten years without low
ing her and her people, her valleys,
her fields and her mountains. If
this be true of people residing here a
few years, then how much greater
should be the love of those who were
born and reared here? Then let's
every one get together and help to
give our grand old state real state
song of Georgia-yes, one that every
Georgian will thrill to sing. Inspir~

XVIII,

In the white woman Erskine soon
saw a change. Once she had en-
couraged him to stay with the In
dams; now she lost no opportunity TO
urge against it.
Her face had blanehed, she argued
passionately that he must go, and
Erskine was sorely puzzled. The
girl. too. had grown rebellious and
disobedient. for the change in her
mother was plain also to her, and
she could not. understand. More.
over. Ersline's stubbornness grew,
and he began to flame within at the
stalking insoience of Black Wolf,
vino continued to seek the hand of
Early Morn.
One day in the open village the
clash came. Black Wolf darted
forth from his wigwam, his eyes
bloodshot with rage and drink, and
his hinting-krife in his hand.
A cry from Early Morn warned
Erskine and he wheeled. AS Blacl
Wolf made vicious slash at him
he sprank aside, and with his fist
caught the savage on the jaw. Black
Wolf fell heavily and Erskine was
upon him with his own knife at his
enemy's throat.
Stop them!p old Kahtoo cried
sternly, but it was the terrified
shrek of the white woman that
stayed Erskine's hand. Two young
braves disarmed the fallen Indian,
and kahtoo looked inquiringly at
his adopted son.
"Turn him loose," Erskine
seorned. y nave no fear of him
Next time / shall kill HIM"
The white woman had run down,
caught Early Morn, and was lead
ing her back to her tent. From in
Eside presently came low, passionate
| pleading from the woman and an
occasional sob from THE girl. ~.
An hour later at dusk, Erskine
turned upward toward the tent, the
girl gave a Mortified cry, flashed
from the tent, and darted for the
high cliff over the river.

A
band, but Kahtoo did, and he babe
Erskine go. Erskine rose and went
to the white woman's ltent. She
sat just inside the opening, with
blanket across the lower half of her
face. She piled him with ques-
tons, and listened eagerly to
his every word, and drew from him
every detail of his life as far back
as he could remember.
Poor soul, it was the first oppor-
unity for many years that she mad
to talk with any white person who
had been in the Eastern world, and
freely and frankly he held nothing
back.
When in turn he questioned her,
she told little, and his own native
delicaey made him understand. She,
too, had been captured with son
who would have been about Frs
kine's age, but her boy and her
husband had been killed. She had
been made slave and-now the
husband had been killed. She had
drawn the blanket across her eyes
after the birth of her daughter she
felt size could never go back to her
own people.
| She loved her daughter; she would
not subject her or herself TO humih-
alton among the whites, and, any,
how, there was no one to whom
she could go. Her concern was with
her daughter-what would become
rof her? Many a young brave, be-
I! sides Black Wolf, had put his heart
at her feet, but she would
Rave none of them. And, so Err
| skine was the heaven-sent answer to
! the mothers. prayerSthat was the
| thought behind her mournful eyes.
| All the while the girl had cruoched
inear, looking at Erskine with dog
Hike eyes, and when he rose to go
/ the woman dropped the blanket
from her face and got to her feet.
| Skyly she litter her hands, took his
face between them, bent close, and
Istudied it searchingly.
What is your name?"
/ "Erskine Dale"
| Without a word she turned back
into her tent.
At dusk Erskine stood by the riv-
ter's brim, with his eyes lifted to a
rising moon and his thoughts with
| barbara. Behind him he heard a
rustic and turning, he saw the girl,
,her breast throbbing and her eyes
burning with a 18th he had never
lseen before.
| BLACK Wolf will kill you," she
Whispered. "Black Wolf wants
Early Morn and he knows that Early
Morn wants White Arrow"
4 Erskine put both hands on her
| shoulders and looked down into her
eyes. She trembled, and when his
arms went about her she surged
closer TO him and the touch of her
warm, supple body went through
him like fire. And then with a tri-
umphant smile she sprang back.

Ipered aud fled. Erskine sank to the
iground with his head in his hands.

With the head OF Clark's column of
stalwart backwoodsmen went Dave
YandeI and Ersldne Dale.
During the months Kashaskie fell,
then Vincennes passed into the
hands of the Americans and there
came one morning when Erskine
went forth at dawn, and his COM
ing into the Shawnee camp was like
the coming of the king. Early Morn
greeted him with glowing eyes, his
foster-mother brought him food,
looking proudly upon him, and old
kahtoo harangued his braves
around the council pole.
my son spoke words of truth, .
he proclaimed generously. "Ie
warned US against the king over the
waters and told US to make friends
with the Americans. Ny son is the
true prophet. Bring out the false
one and Crooked Lightning and
Black Wolf, whose life my son
save though the two We're enemies.
| My son saall do with them as he
pleases.' .
Many young braves sprang viii
| lingly forward and the three were
hailed before Erskine.
| Erskine rose and fixed his eyes
sternly on the covering prophet:
HE shall go forth from the vii
lage and shall never return. He
is false prophet and he must
60" He turned to Crooked Light
ming:
Crooked Lightning shall gq or
stay, as he pleases. Black Wolf
shall stay, for the tribe will need
him as a hunter and a warrior
against the Englihs foes of ten Long
Knives"
The braves gr.unted approval.
Black Wolf and Crooked Lightning
averted their faces and the m O.
phet stumbled uneasily away.
Again old Kahtoo proclaimed
generously, ut is wellw and went
back to his tent. There he sank
YEARLY on a buffalo-skin and plead
with the boy to stay with them as
chief in his stead He was very old,
and now that peace was made he
was willing To- die. If Erskine would
but give his promise, he would never
rise again form where he lay.
Erskine shook his head and the
odl man sorrowfully turned his face.
And yet Efskine fingered on and
on at the village.
OF the white woman he had
learned little other than that she
had been brought from another tribe
and adopted by old Kahtoo; but it
was plain that since the threatened
burning of her she had been held
in high respect by the whole tribe.
He had never talked with her,
but he never moved about the camp
that he did not feel her eyes upon
him. And Early Morn's big soft
eyes, too, never seemed to leave him.
She brought him food, she sat at
the door of his tent, she followed
him about the village and bore her
self opealy as his slave.
AT last old Kahtoo, who would
not give up his great hope, plead
with him to marry her, and while he
was talking the girl stood at the
door of the tent and interrupted
them. Her mothers eyes were grow
ing dim, SHE said. Her mother want
ed to talk with White Arrow and
look upon his face before her sight
should altogether pass.
Nor could Erskine know that the
white woman wanted to look into
the eyes of the man she hoped
would become her daughters hus-

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE car short

in the weekly fruit and vegetable
review Of the federal bureau Of az
ricu1tural economics, issued today.
Last week total shipments of fruits
and vegetables decreased nearly l.
900 cars from the preceding week,
and although the peak Of the car
lot movement is usually not reached
before the middle of October, the
last week of September remains the
record>period for the current season.
The total movement of fruit and
vegetables for the week ending Octo-
Der was 26,5 cars, or 400 less
than for the corresponding week last
year.
Potato shipments were lighter,
with a fairly steady tone maintain
ed, and little price changes except
a lucent advance in Chicago. al
though in several leading shipping
sections sales were made at a low
err range. Shipments were about >
400 cars below the total the previous
week,
Grapes weakened under the heavi-
est shipments of the season, and
sweet potato values declined.

BANDIT HOLDS Up
SANTA FE TRAIN
NEAR KANSAS CITY

CHICAGO, Oct. Icy the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-Gallantry of the
men passengers when a bandit in
vaded the Sante Fe railroads Cali
fornia Limited train in Kansas City
last night, was revealed today when
the train reached Chicago. Mrs. S.
B. Sweet, DETROIT, the only woman
in the car where the robber ap-
peared, told how six men had gone
to her aid when the negro entered.
The robbery occurred within the
city limits of Kansas City shortly
after the train had pulled out of
the station. He evidently climbed
into the vestibule as the train was
leaving The station, according to
the train conductor, and robbed only
the passengers in the third car
from the rear. He escaped with only
about 5000.
Mrs. Sweet, as she left the train
here, told how the men had protect
ed her.
II was walking toward the OBJ.
servation platform while the porter
was making up my BERTH" she
said. II heard a cry, drop your
bag I didn't see anyone, and gave
no significance to the warning. AS
I approached the door a man with
a revolver appeared in the doorway.
That revolver looked like it was a
mile long. 1 dropped the bag.
1.-THE six men in the car jumped
up as the bandit yelled hands up.
The men surrounded me and threw
out their pocketbooks. They pushed
me back toward the wall and stood
between me and the robber. 1t was
all over in a few minutes. The
robber did not go into the other
cars, but jumped off the train"
