proclaimed by the people as ten times as quick and effective as whiskey, rock and rye, or any other cold and cough remedy they have ever tried.
 All drug stores are supplied with the wonderful elixir, so all you have to do to get relief from that cold is to step into the nearest drug store, hand the clerk half dollar for a bottle of Aspironal and tell him to serve you two teaspoonfuls. With your watch in your hand, take the drink at one swal- low and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel the dis dressing symptoms of your cold fading away like dream, within the time limit. Don't be bashful, for all drug gists invite you and expect you to try it. Everybody's doing it.
 When your cold or cough is re- lieved, take the remainder of the bot tie home to your wife and children, for Aspironal is by far the safest and most effective, the easiest to take and the most agreeable cold and cough remedy for children as we'll as adults.

LTTTLE WORK IS
 DONE ON FARMS
Rainy Weather And Cold Wave Retard Agricultural
 Operations

WASHINGTON Jan. 23.-Crop and weather conditions in southern states during the week ending yesterday were summarized today by the department of agriculture as follows:
 Warm rainy weather early in the week was followed by d cold wave when below freezing temperature ex- tended to all portions of the gulf coast except in central and southern Florida.
 Precipitation was heavy in Alabam, Mississippi and Louisiana.
 Very little farm work was accom- plished during the week in southern states. Flowing made fairly good prog ress in most of Texas, but this work is still backward in that state. There was some further injury in the south from the cold weather, while the rain fall in Florida was beneficial in most districts.
 The severe weather with bare fields, was hard On winter grains in Tennes- see,s Kentucky and much of Ohio, and there was considerable complaint of lifting and slow deterioration in Ken tucky. There was heavy snow blank ct during the severely cold weather in MiGoouri, while most of Kansas had from one to three inches of snow fall during the week. There was some harm reported in Oklahoma by reason of all ternate thawing and freezing, but the crop was still in good condition in that state and was reported as good to very good in Texas.
 Winter oats were reported badly frozen in parts of Arkansas, Tennessee and the South Atlantic states.
 Rain Benefits Florida
 Rain in northern Florida was bene- ficial to truck crops damaged by the hard freeze earlier in the month, while the planting of potatoes and tobacco seed beds made good progress in that state. Despite the unfavorable weather for field work, there was considerable replanting of winter truck that had been killed in the southern portions of Georgia and Alabama, while some re- blanting was done wherever possible in South Carolina.
 The cold weather did some further damage to seed germinating in hot beds in Mississippi and protected vegetables were further damaged in Louisiana. No harm to truck was reported from Texas where the condition was fair to good, although growth was slow because of the cold weather.
 The shipment of tomatoes and other fruck crops progressed in southern Florida, but it was too wet for toma- toes in parts of the south with some local damage. It was too dry and cold for stripping tobacco in Kentucky.
 Citrus remained in good condition in Florida, though there was some local complaints of dropping, but defoliation of Satsumas continued in east gulf dis tricts. Peach buds were reported in good condition in Georgia and straw berries were mostly uninjured by the : freeze in Mississippi and Louisiana. Citrus fruit was fayorably affected by the weather'in Texas although straw berries were set back by the freeze in northern districts of Texas.

GREATEST ENERGENCE
NOW BEGINNING SAYS
SUMTER co. AGE Mt
Careful Observance Shows
Pests Now Coming Out Aft
er Winters Hiberpation
POISON HEAVILY NOW
Fight to Control Situation Can
Be Won or Lost Within Next
Two Weeks Expert Believes

A few boil weevils have already
come out from Information, but the
greatest emergence Of the entire
summer may be anticipated within
the next two weeks. Within that
period is embraced the most crit
cal time for Sumter county cotton
farmers. Unless the cotton plants
are poisoned thoroughly during the
next fifteen days, the weevil will
get ahead and probably destroy
thousands of bales of cotton th,.t
would otherwise mature.
The foregoing statement was
authorized this morning by George
10. Marshall, county farm demon
stration agent, who is directing the
fight on the weevil throughout the
county, in cooperation with Judge
James A. Hixon and his steering
committee. Marshall has the facts
upon which to base his statement,
he asserts. A careful watch upoa
several fields scattered about the
county disclose the beginning of a
new emergence, he said this morn
ing. Put on poison carefully now,
is the advice Marshall is giving to
every farmer.
Out on the farm Of Charles S.
Hogg, near Americas, a close watch
has been kept for weevils. Every
plant has been examined closely by
Mr.. Hogg and his overseers. Close
watch has been kept for feeding
signs that would betray the pres
|ence of weevils, with none of these
found since the beginning of the
season. The first of these were
observed Thursday of this week.
Up to that time few weevils had
been found anywhere on the Hogg
farm Thursday thirty-seven were
collected in one spot near the edge
of a field. This constitutes con-
elusive evidence, both Marshall and
Hogg believe, of a new emergencc
This emergence promises to be
heavy, Marshall asserts, and every
farmer is warned by him to poison
heavily and consistently during the.
next two weeks.
"The salvation Of this cotton
crop and the prosperity of our
whole community is wrapped up in
the proper application of poison
now, says Marshall. eff the Wee
wills now emerging can be destroy
ed before they destroy the cotton,
then the fight is won; and this is
one fight none Of us can afford to
lose"
