The Inxlls are hardening to open and tliey are no longer suitable as egg* laying places of the IkjU woovll. No longer Is It worth while to pick up ?<n>a res yoptuinlng unhatphe<l wee vils. If there Ik prospect of getting enough top crop or middle crop, a.? the ruse may bo. to fight with the weevil about, then Apply poison. ?Ovrr-tt - great -pnrtrrf the sou t lira ?*? the cloudy, rainy cool, weather In Au gust, gave the weevils a groat boost.* A cry of dismay was heard In the land. Those who were having-their first se vere experience were utterly astounded at the destruction that came suddenly like a thief In the night. The w eat lie r as <a handicap to Ik>11 weevil fighting la now more fuUy ap preciated by those who hitherto had not experienced It. It is also better appreciated now than ever before that to meet the weather handicap there nuiat be a most thorough and complete destruction of weevil* before aud t)e tween the weather periods. ? How has calcium arsenate dust stood up under tbe weather streswf The writer has been visiting pols oued area# and everywhere the bene fits are to be seen. At places where close observation and care has been given in applying the poison a full crop Is assured. At other places where close attention has not- t^een feiven the poisoned areas are not touch better than those where only square picking Is employed. Even whore rather cloae attention has been given, the daily rains have w> much undone the poison that the prospects of yields are but little above the average. But the reports of success with calcium arsenate dust is general and gratify ing. A wet May and June lias recently been showing how it can cut the mid dle and top crop. A w?t May and June means a short crop as a rule. But weevils are also l>elng charged up with losses which a wet May and June are responsible for. The greatest thing that a farmer can do in combating the weevil this fall is to rip up or turn under the cotton stalks just as soon as the-cot ton is picked. The sooner the better. Kill the green cotton stalk* and you destroy the weevil's food. It will yeave your premise* for those of -the man who does not kill the stalk early, there to plituge him sorely next year; or else the bugs will go into winter quarters early with such a long period of fasting ahead as to make the weevil no sort of a life insurance risk. It will likely die t>efore it sees another cotton square.?<C. A. Whittle. Notice. Lancaster and Kershaw Couuty P. V. I>. carriers will meet at Kershaw on Labor Day at 10:30 n. m. J. W.

The first white man to penetrate this legion was Jea#i Nicollet, who was sent oat In 1634 by Champlaln to open trade with the Indians. ,He landed at Green Bay and prob ably traversed the country to -Chicago. Fur traders und mis sionaries followed and the latter built a mission where Asbland now stands. This was the first church erected in the state and around It sprang up the first - permanent settlement ' Jollct and Father Marquette descended the Wisconsin river, and La Salle explored a great deal of Wisconsin before he took his famous trip down the Mississip pi. Among the fur traders to come to Wisconsin shores was Daniel du Lhut, after Whom the N city of Duluth, Minn., was named. ' ? During the Revolution Wiscon sin remained loyal to the Brit ish and though Wisconsin be came n part of the L'nlted States by the Treaty of I'arls in 1783, it was not until 181(5 that federal troops really established authority there.
