COTTON ALL GATHERED
Farmers Of Fort Deposit SectioH Able To Pay Debts And Bank Cash


 FORT DEPOSIT, Ala, Nov. 27.- Special. .)-The ginning season of the cotton crop of 1928 is practically over and the two big ginneries here will soon suspend business. Thir- teen hundred bales have been sinned, against 2,100 last year. al though there was about 25 per cent increase in acreage this year. The farmers, as a whole sold thelr cot ton at a splendid price, paid their debts and have some money in the bank. The only drawback to these farmers is the shortage of corn, as a very small acreage was planted and unfavorable weather conditions were encountered during its growth, resulting in one of the smallest crops in the history of the county. Preparations are now under way for the 1924 crop, as many acres Of cot ton stalks are being cut, plowed under and the land sown in rye or clover as winter cover crop. Many acres of fall oats have been plant with good stand. The fruit and vegetable crops will not be neg lected, as the farmer derives in the spring quite a sum from these early money crops. which are grown, har- vested and marketed in time for an other crop 10 pe sio"h on 'ne ianu the same season.
 Rev. l. F. Bilbro, pastor of the Fort Deposit Methodist church, preached his farewell sermon to a large congregation Sunday The people hero regret to give him up. as he has done splendid work in both the homes and the church dur ing h.s four-year stay at this place. He has been assigned to Autaugaville, to take the place of Rev. Caleb Bates. who will come to Fort De- posit, where cordial welcome awaits him.

ARGENTINE ANT KILLS
 COTTON BOIL WEEVIL
But Is Held By Entomologist To Be
 Bigger Pest Than Weevil

CRYSTAL SYRINGE. Miss Nov. 27.-A cotton boil weevil eradicator has been found in the Argentine ant, according to Nance Dees, a planter residing near here, who for some time has been experimenting with ways and means of combating the cotton pest. MT. Dees planted two patches of cotton on the same farm this season, one of them in ground In tested with the ants. He has brought to Crystal Springs and exhibited to cotten men a stalk from each patch. That from the ground infested with the ants contained 149 bools of cot ton matured to the top of the stalk while the stalk from the other patch, infested with the weevil. contained only shriveled squares and small un developed bolls.
 HELD UNPRACTICEABLE-12
 AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 27.-Eradica- tion of the boil weevil by the use of the Argentine ant, as suggested by Nance Dees, a Mississippi cotton planter will never be accomplished according to F. E. Mcdonald, en-. tomologist of the Texas state depart ment of agriculture.
 Commenting on the Mississippi planters suggestion, MT. Mcdonald. said that 1t was his opinion that the Argentine ant will not feed on the boil weevil, but even if it did, it is altogether too serlous pest to be considered. The ant is by far the worse household pest and it is also to be feared as an orchard pest, MT Me Donald said.
 He stated that some years ago a large number of Kelep ants from Guatemala were imported into Texas in an attempt to control the weevll 1 but the attempt was a failure, as the ants did not estroy enough weevils to be of any value.
