Kill Next Years WeevilS Now


of the fields, the destruction
Of the stalks, and the planting OF
cover crops constitute the most
powerful weap ,ns for weevil
fighting now in the hands of the
farmer, says Prof, A. F. Conradi,
Entomologist, who says that by
efficient fall farm management
the farmer Can dictate to a great
extent how many weevils shall
pass the winter on the farm
Though much warning has al
ready been given by the ento.
mologis,s. and though county
agents are preaching stalk de.
struction right and left, many
farmersare apparently not con-
vinced Of the need for immediate
stalk destruction, says Prof. Con
radi, and do not realize that this
is practically the most important
single step in any system of fight
ing the weevil. -,..,
Boil weevils multiply in cotton
until frost kills it. Many thou
sands of weeyils may occur in
each acre of cotton. Weevils
hibernate, that is they pass the
winter. only In the full grown
stage. Hibernatlon usually be.
gins with the coming of the, first
kiIling frost. They hibernate
principally in cotton fields, and
standing stalks make for them
splendid winter homes.
The most favorable condition,
therefore, the successful hiberna.
tion for boil weevils is found in
fields where the cotton stalks,
grass, weeds, dead leaves. ETC..
are left during the winter. Un-
der such conditions the farmers
may expect the greatest number
of weevils to survive the winter.
There is little prospect for sue
cessful cotton growing under
such conditions. :
The earlier lthe cotton stalks
are aestrey fllase~ lever { the
weeviIs that will survive the
winter. aud consequently the
smaller the damage to the next
crop. As far as possible. the
stalks should be destroyed two
weeks before the first killing
frost. ~ 8
In some sections the stalkslare

William Levi Laws
AT SO Years Old
CONTINUED FROM PAGE l

"In the South, William Laws, spok-
en- of as upright, accomplished and
courtly" had large grant of land in
Georgia and the records show that
he had a grant in Maryland of one
thousand acres. This however was
in Colonial days. "Woodville" in
Georgia was the summer home of
Col. Joseph Laws and it is said still
owned by his descendants. 1t is on an
island called "Colonel's Island" be-
cause four colonels of the Revolu-
tionary War made their homes there.
Colonel Audley Maxwell was one Of
them and he and Colonel William
Laws married sisters, Elizabeth and
Mary Stevens, who was member of
Georgia Assembly. Thomas Laws.
"a gentlemen of considerable future
married Eliza, daughter of John
Parke Gusts, Stepson of Washington.
Americans of Royal Descent" the
Gusts line goes back to Edward |, of
England.
Orchard Laws, kings attorney,
came from England to Connecticut in
i. 1885. He was representative and
commissioner of the New Haven
colony. Jonathan Laws, son of
Richard, was born in Wethersfeld,
1886. He married Sarah, daughter
of George Clark, of Milford, on June
/, 1864 and no doubt then as now,
June was a popular month for brides.

necticut Legislature. His son was a
colonial governor of Connecticut and
married Anne Elliott, granddaughter
of John Elliott, the Apostle to the
Indians.
Governor Laws second bride was
Abigail Arnold, his third, Abigail
Andrews; his fourth Sarah Burr and
his fifth Eunice Hall The Governors
tomb may be seen at Milford, Conn.
His eulogy was delivered at his fun
eral in Latin by President Styles of
Yale. 1t was through his efforts that
silk worms were introduced into this
country. His son, Richard Laws, was
a delegate to the Continental Con-
gress and was Mavor of New London.
His grandson, John, was a western
pioneer.
William Henry Laws, son of Will
liam Laws, of New Haven married a
sister of Bishop Lee, of Delaware, and
became a New Hampshire pioneer.
Mark Laws, of Pennsylvania, who
was born in Ireland in 1862 was the
father of Benjamin Laws who was
said to be the founder of the Laws of
Kentucky and Ohio. Many repre-
sentatives of the Laws are found in
the Colonial wars and in the Revolu-
ton. William Laws of Maryland was
an officer in the Revolutionary War.
George, of Georgia was member of
the Continental Army, and John of
Massachusetts was in the Revolution
as boy.
"From the best evidence available
the family of Laws living in Wicom-
leo County is lineal descendant Of
the various branches of the family to
which we have referred rs living in
the various sections of the United
States. All no doubt sprang from one
line or family and all are worthy of
the brief mention made and to those
who are related, this sketch will serve
as reference TO their noble ancestry
and to those who love geneaology."
