or when the weather makes poisoning
too expensive for profit.
In brief, the best farmers begin fight
ing the boil weevil by:
/. Putting the soil in fine condition.
. Planting after danger of frost is
past and the earth is warm enough to
cause quick sprouting and a good
stand.
3. Using selected seed of kind Of
cotton that natures early. Gin-run
seed differ from pedigreed seed, just as
scrub live stock differ from pure-bred
live stock.
T. Fertllizing highly to make quick
growth and set bolls before the weevils
multiply enough to destroy the crop.
D. Narrow spacing-a hoes width
and one to three stalks to the hill.
g. Frequent cultivation.
T. Where family labor is sufficient
and acreage is small, picking up and
burning the fallen squares.
s. Putting cotton on well drained
land that under average conditions
will make at least a bale to three acres.
Poor land without fertilizer will not
make enough to pay for weevil control
and leave profit.

Poisoning

II has been proved beyond question
that calcium arsenate will control the
weevil. Other chemicals and other
methods of control do not show profits
under thorough test. Often when they
seem to reduce damage. the result is
due to some other cause. such as wealth
er. or cultivation. or to such few Wee
wills that the punctured squares are no
more than would have shed anyhow.
Some of the commercial mixtures are
actually hurtful to the cotton plant.
The United States Department Of Agri-
culture and the several Agricultural
Colleges are constantly engaged in
making tests, in checking results and
In studying methods of control. They
have no interest in selling remedies or
machines II is safer to follow their
tests than to risk cotton crop on some
mixture or machine that smart sales
man offers with recommendations from
farmers who think they have been
benefited.
Poisoning may be done at two stages:
/. When the weevils come out of
winter quarters and as many as twenty
may he counted ON an acre Of young
cotton. poisoning is wise with mix
ture of mOlasses and calcium arsenate
or WITH calcium arsenate dust. This
should be applied before the squares
form, as the weevils are then feeding
ON the tender parts of the plant
2. After squares appear freely. If
ten per cent become punctured. calcium
arsenate dust should he applied in such
quantities and at such times as the bull
letins of the Department of Agriculture
and the Agricultural Colleges recon-
mend. The County Agent or any ex-
perienced farmer may be consulted.
The main point of emphasis Is that
the boil weeviI can be controlled. II
the boil weevil is not controlled cotton
growing is merely gambling with
weather.

"a BOIL WEEVIt
IAN Be CONTROLLED

The boil weevil can be controlled
1t can be done in any neighhor-
hood.
1t has been done in nearly every
neighborhood.
What one man has done another man
may do.
There is no secret about it--any
man can learn it.
But it is not easy. It takes work
and study. You have to learn the
weevil's habits, how it feeds how it
breeds. You must know how the
weather affects it; how and when to
poison. You can dose sick man or
hog when and where YOU will; you
can't dose Il weevil unless conditions
are right.
But il pays-when it is done right
II is waste of money and time when
il is done wrong.
The weevil is "A mysterious insect
and only the scientists know much
about it. and even they don't know all
But the cattle tick is mysterious in
sect We used to think it was only
nuisance to the cattle. but the scient-
lists taught MS that it causes Texas
fever which reduces the value of the
cattle. BY killing the tick we make
more money on cattle.
We used to think that mosquitoes
did no more than to sting us. Now
we know that they cause malaria, and
by screening our houses we keep out
malaria We know now that house
flies may carry the germs of typhoid
fever or other diseases. The scientists
taught MS these things. They can't
tell us how to destroy all the mOsqui-
toes or house flies but they tell us how
to control them to escape their dam
ages.
So the scientists are helping us to
control the boil weevil. Their methods
are not perfect but they are practical:
they have been tested by farmers who
have taken the pains to study, to learn
and to fight the pest day by day and
week by week.
Good Farming
An important part of the general
plan of weevil control is good farming.
This may be practiced by every farmer
and will help very much. II will pay
even when there is no weeyil damage

TAKE PLACE in
90 DAYS OR LESS
Most AtrOciOus Murder in
County History to Be
Avenged

Decision has been handed down
by the supreme court OF the state
of California, affirming the ver-
dict of death imposed by Judge
Conkling last April on Mariano
Cazares and Alvino Mcndez for.
the murder of Mike Fornasero at
Meloland on January ,, 1922.
Owing to an amendment passed
by the last legislature, it viii not
be necessary for the two men to
be brought back here to Lave q
new date set for their execution.
The court which heard the ease
may, at the request of the district
attorney, or of its own initiative,
set Il new date, which is communi-
Gated to the warden of the state
prison in which the defendants are
confined. The date set must not
be less than 60 days nor moro than
90 days from time in which the
action is taken by the court.
Atrocious Crime
Under the sentence imposed by
Judge Conkling, Mendez was to
have been hanged on June Is, last,
and Cazares was to have been
executed four days later, June o..
The latter was the same da.e as
that set for the exe,\ tion Of
Lawrence Campbell, who WIS con-
victed of the murder of Leslie
Nichols, two weeks after sentence
was pronounced on Cazares and
Mendez. Campbell's s execution was
carried out on the appointed date.
IN appeal entered in the ease OF
Cazares and Mendez acted as q
stay of execution, and both men
have since been confined at San
Quentin prison.
