After three years of depression add pessimism, poor crops and, for the most part, low prices, there b at present a more optimistic feeling among the fanners and business men in thb section than at any time since the Fall of 1920. Good prices for asparagus, strawberries, cucumbers and now watermelons, with excellent prospects for n fair cotton crop is the medicine that has done the work. The hot, dry weather of the past two or three weeks has been of great assistance to the farmers in their war on the boll weevil and, with seasonable weather from now on, H would teem that the yield thb year will be the largest sines 1920.

Messrs. 0. H. and Martin Best also have a crop of wMch they may well be proud and they attribute the large amount of fruit on the stalks and the scarcity of the boll weevil to the poisoning that they have done. They used the molasses-arsenate mixture while the cotton was small and are now dusting with calcium arsenate. — *Or -. - Of course, these results could not have been obtained had the weather beerr wet, but the fair weather has allowed the poison to remain on the plants long Enough to Iciil the wee vils in th fields'. And if early punc-’ tured squares were picked up, fields in which no damage is apparent at this time, should be reasonably safe for the newt two weeks, during which time a large number of bolls will mature. Mr. D. R. Coker, who is an ardent advocate of the molasses-arsenate mixture, urges * last application df the poison about the 15th of August at which time the weevils begin to migrate.
