Going After WeeVils.
w. Lowry Love, farmer living on
Sharon No. 2, in BullOck's Creek town.
ship is going after the boil, weevil on
his cotton in a way that is producing
results. He is not using calcium
arsenate or other poisons that are
costly and whose value is doubuul' es-
pecially should rain come along right
after application. The only DOH
weevil catchers that he is using are
his two hands and the hands of the
employees on his farm. A Sharon man
was telling the other day about now
Love was going after the weevils ana
the way he is doing it.
Mr. Love works a two horse farm"
said he. About six weeks ago ne
began going over his cotton crop look
ing for weevils. He simply took MS
time and looked every stalk-he ana
his employees did. The first time he
went over it he picked about seventy
five weevils to the acre. Then ne
started all over again and the second
picking resulted in his finding about
thirty-five weevils, to the acre. He did
the same thing again and again. In
fact up to this time he has been over
the entire two-horse farm six tines
and the last time he searched for
weeyils he found about six to the acre.
He proposes to follow the same pro-
cedure through to the end. He is con-
WINGED that the surest way to mini
mize damage by the weevil is to Keep
right after them and not to give them
a chance to hatch. It means a lot or
hard work though; but Love believes
the crop is going to be worth it.
Love doesn't mind nard work. He
worked for w. p. Youngblood OF
Sharon for Sc month and board be-
fore he decided to strike out for HIM
self. He bought a farm and paid for
it in two years. The weevil can't beat
a man like that"

Early one morning l noticed some
water underneath a barrel of salt ana
because of the fact that my attention
was drawn to it, l moved the barrel.
Underneath it l f und two fifty cent
pieces, one laid on top Of the other.
Kirby was not there at the time but l
knew that it was he who had placed
the money there against the time
when he would remove it. When he
came back he realized that l suspicion

| replied in the negative he said that
he had found quarter there. Wen OF
