WEEVILS ARRIVE
 ON COTTON CROP
Bibb County Farmers DiscOur-
 aged By Prospects

CENTERVILLE, Ala, June 28.- Those persons attempting to raise cot ton in Bibb County have been made to realize, during the last few days, that the boil weevil is doing much dam age to the cotton which is far enough advanced to have squares and blooms. In many places from four to eight squares to the stalk have been punc- tured, and if the rains continue, the cotton crop If this section will be al- most a compete failure. Most of the cotton is now too large for the use of the syrup weevil poison, and besides, the farmers contend that it will take an extra force of hands to apply the poison since every visible hand they have is needed to attempt to rid the cotton fields of grass. The situation is serious so far as the cotton crop is concerned. The rains during the last few days have been of benefit to the corn crop.

Come And Get Inoculat-
 ed With Farming Prin- ciples Is Plea

AUBURN, Ala, June ,2S.-(Spe. cia1.) v The twenty-second annual farmers summer school at Auburn will be held July 27 to August 2, according to announcemeht today by pr. C. A. Cary, director.s Men who are among the best informed that can De had .on their respective subjects will lecture and conduct demonstrat tons during the week. ~, i.l.s
 <. In his announcement Dr. Cary says "The one crop system has depleted soils and made single crop farmers failures in every land and climate. The corn farmer is compelled to sell his crop after feeding it to animals. The wheat farmer'is is now suffering by loss of soil fertility. and he is turning to live stock to cure the ills that come from single crop farming. <
 No. county can maintain pernia- nent and profitable farming without temporary and permanent pastures, without farm animals, without balanc. ed or diversified farming. Animals makes pastures, and pastures grow animals, and pastures and animals maintain, soil fertility. Acid soils will grow more legumes when animal ma nures are applied. ;,s-5 Y. ".Again soils cannot be kept up with out rotation of crops and animals. Why not stop the craze of "Get-rich-quick' and arspecialized one-crop system. The mare, the COW, the SOW. and the hen brought success to the farmers of Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and other great agricultural states, because livestock farming forces farmers to diversity.
 Do not stop growing cotton but grow it in a rotational system, with livestock, fruits, vegetables, and keeI it up for all time. Farmers can sell soil @as Wisconsin used to do and as North Dakota is doing now,., by grow. ing wheat, and as the south is doine by growing cotton alone. Mainten. ance of soil fertility is the foundation of all agriculture.
 Come to Auburn and get inoculatsd with the farming principles that .helr you succeed. Only one week of ob. jective concrete study"
 Men of authority will deliver lee. lures and conduct demonstrations,
