FIND 1900 WEEvILS
ON 15-ACRE PATCH
STARTLING CONDITION DIS
COVERED ON RAINES AND
HOLLINGSWORTH FARM.

The boil weevil is already stirring
in Terrell county, in fact the greatest
enemy of the Georgia farmer IS dis
plaving an activity that is dangerous
to the planters as it is diSquiet1ng. .
On the farm of Messrs. Raines and
Holingsworth, about four miles be-
vond Chickasawhatchee, the cotton
acreage was heavily infested with the
pests. The owners were unable 10
cone with the weevils by having the
negroes on the farm pick them ana
the situation was indeed grave. At
the last time picking was attempted
upwards of twelve hundred OF the cot
ton pests were found and there seem
ed to be no indication OF the prol1chc
destructive weevils diminishing.
Messrs. Raines and Hollngsworth
decided that a determined effort must
be made at once to completely Grad
icate the cotton destroyers. At the
suggestion Of Lowrey & Davidson,
who are local agents for Hills Mix
ture. a well-known boil weevil eX-
terminator, about five gallons OF the
ooison were taken out to the farm to
experiment on the worst infested
acres Last Thursday the Hills Mix
ture was thoroughly applied to ttteeni
acres of the most densely populated
with the insects. Tuesday morning
the same acres were inspected by a
large number of prominent Terrell
and Dougherty county planters who
are in the same fix regarding the boil
weevil as Messrs. Raines and Hol-
The negroes again went
over the fields in question and found
only FIVE live weevils, while numbers
of dead ones were scattered all over
the plants and down on the ground
between the rows.
Then a live weevil was taken and
placed on a plant which had been
nopped with Hills Mixture on last
Thursday. The weevil gnawed or
chewed at the leaf for little while
and then fell off the plant dead.
Messrs. Raines and Hollingsworth
were delighted with the results, and
intend to use the poison on the re-
mainder of the plantation.
Besides the Terrell county planters
who witnessed the sight there were
Messrs. Theo Irwin and Charles
Burke of Americas, |. O. Thomas
and J. D. Moseley, Bird Odom and
Charles Mallory OF Albany, and Ju-
liam Barrett of Augusta. Mr.. Barrett
represented the Hills Mixture Com
pany of Augusta, while the rest OF

day anniversary was very happily
celebrated on Friday afternoon at the

Some one asked me the other day IL
/ thought it were really necessary
for married people to quarrel" Not
such an easy question to answer as
might seem. OF all human associa-
tions, marriage affords the most op-
rortunities for irritation. The very
intimacy Of the partnership, delight
full In nature. is bound to become irk-
some at times. Then, too. the eco
nomlc program under which we con-
duct marriage is a fruitful source of
discord. 1t was never a very comfort

once, at least, roughly adapted to the
times 1t served. That Is true no
longer.
Our world has changed over night.

sltfon OF woman In society, the home
ana business has undergone a tre-
nendous revolution. AS conse-
quence the domestic plan which did
