boil weevil had destroyed King Cotton
Writes Carl w. Dipman in Good Hard
ware New York;:
But the city officials and the business
men got together. They decided some
thing must be lone and lone quickly.
They saw farmers leaving the farms
and the young men fiocking to the
cities. They saw a dying Enterprise.
So they began preaching diversified
tion-for the first time in the history
of that section. Within one yea Cof-
fee county broke the worlds record in
the yield OF peanuts, for a similar area,
and also in the return In dollars and
cents for hogs and cattle shipped. The
farmers raised their own hay, corn,
potatoes and other produce for home
consumption. which they bought pre-
viously, when they raised only cotton.
Coffee county has now become a -four
fshing cattle and hog market, as well
as a peanut market. Alabama now
sells to the Middle West. Before, 1t
bought only.
BY 1918 and 1919, this entire section
had learned the lesson of diversified
ton. As q result, the whole county
was rolling in prosperity. 1t was not
until after the coming of the bug that
| Enterprise saw paved streets and side
| WalkS-paV0Q at q Cost OF many InOu-
sands of dollars. The hardware stores
did a nourishing business and the same
was true of other stores. Several small
factories came to the city and the post
office rose from fourth class to second
class. Handsome school buildings and
fine churches. hospitals and beautiful
ZONES were erected. All because the
farmers learned to raise something be-
sides cotton. Is it surprising. then,
| that on one of the principal streets of
| this little city was erected, in Deem
Der of 1919, a monumental fountain to
the memory OF the Mexican boil Wee
vii? This monument stands today as
the only monument ever erected to the
memory of a pest, on the American
continent. The m-uch-dreaded boil
weevil proved to be a blessing in dis
guise.
When it was discovered that calcium
arsenate was just about the best COM
batiye against the boil weevil, thou
sands Of remedies were taken into
the South. Some Of them were worse
than the boil weevil. Uncle Sans In
secticide board was kept busy RENE
diving the remedies. Now they have
been pretty well regulated. So all the
cotton planters are busy these days
busting their fields by man power.
mule power, and even by airplane.
It's a fair guess that the boil weevil
will come to a violent end before long
land by poison. Maj. Gen. Amos A.
Fries. head of the chemical warfare
service of the army, has established a
research laboratory at the Georgia x
pertinent station at Griffin. He has
cotton plants. He is paying a cen.
apiece for live, vigorous boil weevils
in lots of a thousand or more. He has
at his command a mysterious lot OF
deadly poisens and gases developed in
the World war. And he Is out to get

LLGION
WEEK
NOVEMBER 1922

Federal, state and local officials from
President Coolidge to mayors Of cities,
prominent leaders all over the nation,
firms and associations Of many sorts
~co-operated actively and whole-heart-
edly in arrangements for staging
American Education week, set this
year for November 10 to %. The Ma
tional Americanism commission Of the
American Legion, the United States
bureau Of education and the National
Educational association, the three
agencies sponsoring the demonstration,
report a marked increase in interest
in the week.
President Coolidge expressed his CO.
operation by agreeing readily to issue
a proclamation calling attention to the
observance. His example was fol-
lowed by governors and mayors from
one end Of the country to the other.
State superintendents of public in
struction and other educational au-
thorities, state and local, Joined heart
lily in the work. Chambers of COM
merce and local clubs, as well as ma
tional, departmental and post officials
Of the Legion, were especially active.
The American Legion Auxiliary
came forward to carry on a nation
wide "visit Your School" campaign
for the week. The object was an
nounced to be to acquaint the general
public with the actual operations OF
the schools and to stir their interest in
seeing the schools in action.
Many large concerns agreed to carry
matter in their national advertising
which would help to promote the week,
especially Community and Health day.
Members of the American Bankers
association and the Association of In
vestment Bankers responded readily
to a suggestion that they display win
dow placards announcing the pro-
gram for the week and emphasizing
Conservation and Thrift day. Various
teachers agencies and other organi-
cations co-operated.
Representative of the IT'S national
organizations which have c~o-operated
from the beginning in putting on the
week are such groups as the Ameri-
can Bar association, the Boy Scouts of
America, the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, Kiwanis, Rotary, the
Motion Picture Producers and Dis
tributors of America, the National
Congress of Mothers and Parent
Teacher associations, the American

TO Aid Training Comps

A national 'art poster contest in
the interest of citizens military train
ing camps is being sponsored by the
American Legion auxiliary, it was an
nounced recently by Mrs. D. d. Oil
plant. national president.
1.-THE purpose OF the contest" de-
clared Mrs. Oliphant, lis to extend in
formation concerning and to promote
the citizens military training camps
conducted each year in various sec
lions of the country"
Three national awards will be made.
The prizes are to be $3.50, 500 and
$50, respectively. Fourth and fifth
place winners will be given honorable
mention signed by the committee on

will be chosen from designated en-
tries from the states and territorial
possessions Of our country.
Commenting on the plan, Mrs. OIL

service survey shows the cotton fields
of North Carolina to be nor heavily
infested this year than last, in some
cases as high as so per cent.
Another tells of the discovery Of a
germicide that will rid the South of
the pest by a prisoner in the Atlanta
Federal penitentiary who had been a
Baltimore scientist of note.
A third is that the chemical warfare
service of the United States army has
been turned loose on the boil weevil
with orders to find some poison that
will put it out Of business for all time.
Probably one reason for the persist
ent throwing of the limelight on the
boil weevil is the fact that cotton Is
one Of u big crops. Some years it
equals In value the corn crop. The
cotton belt extends from the Atlantic
to Texas and Oklahoma probably 1t
will be extended clear to the Pacific.
And this American belt grows "a per
cent of the worlds cotton. Our ex-
ports of cotton are about twice those
of the rest of the world and we use
80 per cent of the worlds production.
The boil weevil (Anthonomus gran
dis) is a gray insect about the size Of
a housefy. Both adults and grubs in
jure the cotton-the former by feed
ing, puncturing and laying eggs; the
latter by feeding on the contents of
the bolls. The boil weeviI first entered
the United States from Mexico in 1892,
getting a foothold in southwestern
Texas. Infestation spread slowly but
surely. Climatic conditions made 1915
a year Of catastrophe in the matter
Of infestation; no less than 86,84O
square miles of c~otton-raising territory
were reported in bad shape. All told,
the boil weevil has caused the loss of
many million bales of cotton; also 1t
has largely reduced at times the area
devoted to cotton.
And yet the Mexican boil weevil, in
its own way a top-n0tcher as a crop
destroyer, has not proved an unmixed
evil to all of the co~tton-raising South.
On the contrary, one Alabama town Is
actually grateful to it and has shown
that gratitude by erecting in the pub
lie square a monument in its honor.
This town is Enterprise and the In
scription on the monument reads:

insect world threaten to eat US out OF
house and home and starve us to
death. They hold that the insect world
is mans most dangerous enemy-so
dangerous that only by eternal vigil
lance and %unceasing warfare will the
human race be able to survive.
In the meantime Uncle Sam, Ento-
mologist, is authority for the official
statement that a billion-dollar annual
loss is inflicted upon our gardens,
fields, orchards and forests by a hun
dred or more imported insect pests.
Mind you, Uncle Sam says, import
ed pests" Offhand one would say that
the earliest of these imported pests
was the Hessian fly, which was
brought over in the Revolution by the
m~ercenaries hired by George III from
a German prince. We treated the Hes
SLAMS rough-you remember what
George Washington did to them at
Trenton-and the fly they brought In
their straw packing has since de-
stroyed enough of u Wheat to pay
the German war debt.
There has been a succession of these
imported pests ever since. So now
adays Uncle Sam has q small army at
work fighting them. In tie Agricul-
tural department, for example, he has
established the bureaus Of plant indus
try and entomology and the insecticide
and fungicide board. Through them
he watches the ports to keep new
pests out. He scours the earth for
pest-resisting plants and for insects
that prey on pests that prey upon us.
He experiments with insect poisons.
A 23-acre farm which includes insect
pests among its chief crops Is operated
at Vienna, Va. The American people
pay some $40,O00,000 a year for insec-
ticides and fungicides with which to
combat crop pests, fungous growths
and household vermin. At the Vienna
farm the pests are permitted to- reach
their full measure Of destructiveness
whereupon they are subjected to treat
ment with commercial insecticides and
fungicides to determine the effective
ness Of such preparations.
Right now there is a big controversy
going IN over the Importation Of mar

after January 1 importation will be

Harmony Hill
Do You Remember?

Thinking that some of the old
landmarks would be interesting to
some of your readers, here is the
following:
Do you remember? Harmony
Hill got its name as follows: The
school had been noted as having a
bad set of scholars, aid some of the
teachers were afraid to take the
school. A young man who had re-
Gently settled here said he believed
he could get along with the scholars.
SO he was employed as teacher. He
was very successful and had good
harmony among the pupils, so they
called the school Harmony Hill.
Do you remember when a family
by the name of Skinner lived where
E. E. Harris lives at the present
time? They were covenanters in
their religious belief. All the food
that was to be eaten Sunday had to
be prepared Saturday No work of
any kind was done on the Sabbath.
They were very strict with their
children, especially on the Sabbath.
The family consisted of father and
