invitations to lunch but will hoe
our own row, either win out or
starve. Plenty of good plain eats will
be provided but the boys must fur.
nish their own appetites and help pre-
pare the meals.
About year ago when our trip
was taken, lot of the boys parents
became very enthusiastic, but now
when the trip is only thirty days
away, are they going to encourage
the kid to come through and really
aid him to do so? We shall see.
Parents of Boy Scouts who think
their boy is worth while, do not
weaken. This will be our last trip
under the present transportation ar
rangements. Also, you will owe a
debt of gratitude to the Scout Com
missioner and his aids. They are do
mating their time and will work hard
to make the trip a success.
So, to the community this kind
of work is worth anything to the
growing boys the interested parties
had better wake up and do something.
We are thankful to be recognized
by several organizations, but come
on and put some kick into this.

The Eligibility Committee of the
Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference
has declared both John Wight and
Rex Thomas of Tulsa L. Ineligible
to participate in athletics in that con-
ference.
This automatically throws out the
game which the Savages lost to Tul-
sa because of the stellar work of these
two men, so that Southeastern is out
for the state championship with a
thousand percent. Oklahoma Baptist
U. and East Central are the two re-
naming conference games on the

Clean Up Of Stalks And Other Hid

by John A. Whitchurst. President

Letters from all over the cotton

cleanup Of cotton fields and hiber-
mating places of the weevil consti-
tute one of the most effective meth
odS of wccvil control. The earlier the
cleanup is practiccd in the fall the
more effective the results will be.
Killing cotton growth early pre-
vents new weevils breeding and per-
mts only the older ones to enter hi

wecvils have sufficient vitality to
pass the winter successfully. De-
stroy the cotton growth just as early
as it is practical to do so.
Many weevils will survive the win

refuse material offering shelter are

grass along fences. bitches and other
waste places,
Get these facts. Weevil infesta-
ton in spring starts from the few
weevils that pass the winter. The
weevils developing late in the fall are
the ones most likely to survive the
winter. Previous to the first killing
frosts, it tan live for only about
six days without food. The weevil
can live for several months without
food while alternating and inactive
It does not become inactive until the
first killing frosts. He breeds only
in the bolls and squares and eats only
cotton.
This is probably the biggest and
hardest undertaking the farmers have
ever had to cope with, and if we are
ever successful it will only be through
close cooperation. 1t is to the inter.
est Of everyone living in the cotton
belt to get behind this move. The
bankers, ginners, merchants and
newspapers have a better chance to
perfect organizations of this kind
than anyone. Letters to all of your
customers is one way Of getting
things started. Any system of or
