BOLL WEEVIL POISONING, 1022. Prof. Conradl, of clemson, Gives Out Plan that Will Benefit AH. (Clemson Bulletin.) Poisoning cotton with calcium or eenate may he expectod to pay 1. When used on high yielding land. 2. When the weevil infestation is heavy. 3. When the poison ls properly applied, according to tl correct sched ule. 4. When woather conditions aro reasonably favorable for poisoning. Farmers planning to poison this sonson should secure a copy of Cir cular 16f. II S. Department of Agri culture, "Poisoning tho Cotton boll j Weevil/' which may be obtained from tho Extension'Service, Clemson College; the Delta Laboratory, Tal lulah, La., or tho U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. ad vises Prof. A. ?P. Conradl, entomolo gist. The circular contains loss than I bree pages of print, but the informa tion is to tho point, and no farmer should undertake poisoning before studying lt and making sure that ho understands thoroughly every step In the operation. Farmers aro cau tioned that poisoning is a serious and complicated operation, and timi no one should ndertake lt unless he has determined to do it correctly. Many failures result from Improper j application, due to the lack of ef fort on tho part ol* thc farmer to in form himself. Xo one Should he disappointed al j failure the llrst year, because poison ing must be learned just as we have had to learn other processes in farm ing. Those having had no experience are cautioned to go oasy and not undertake too much the first season. Poisoning, like most farm operations, is not fool-proof. While lt has beon demonstra'jd that the weevil can be poisoned profitably with proper meth ods and machines and under favor able weather conditions for poison ing, the farmer is also cautioned Mint unfavorable conditions and Improper methods will undoubtedly cause com plete failure. Regardless of how much poisoning the farmer intends to do, soil build ing should be kept up vigorously. Any successful poisoning program ls dependent on high yielding land. lt ls no more expensive to poison an acre of high-yielding land than to r?o'"nr -i T.^r- nf poor land Say int? rid.ing t- poison, should bugin righi now and net information ind study ii hurd ??nd seriously, ;thd .?bonid i:i!\<? ?ip the matter .'.i ii thc coun'y agent so ns to enable tho ex tension service to keep in touch and assist in every way possible.

SCHAFFER Director of livening Class??, Moody Bible Institut?, Chicago. TEXT.-Let us therefore come boldly unto the thron? of grace, that we may j obtain mercy, and And grace to help In time of need.-Heb. 4:11 Suppose oar newspapers tomorrow printed a full page ad with these wordB In bold headline, HELP IN TIMK OF NEED; then . vent ou to explain thnt this great government had created a bureau of help. Offices were to be opened in the centers ot population, large and s iii a 11, to which every needy Individual could bring his problems. Help of every description would bo offered; old age pensioned ; heuds of families with in sufficient Income given a grant for tho maintenance and education of the children ; widowed mothers paid n stated Income ; orphaned children would have equal chance with those in well salaried homes; the weak would be protected ; the crushing load of the oppressed lifted ; every effort made to lighten the burden Of the tolling, struggling unisses. What do you suppose would be the experience of such a bureau? Would lt do any business? I ether words, do men and women in this great land need help? Have they any problems? If ever liiere was u time when such a bureau worild be rushed, it ls now. This is the very offer that God an nounced long ago, In the text. Ho has offered help in time of need. 1 wonder how many of the readers ot this sermon have ever availed them selves cf God's offer and have secured real, practical, timely help In some hour of need. Tho Apostle Paul, who wrote these words, had tested them fully. We learn this from the catalog of his experiences In II Corinthians ll :23-28 and again In the sixth chapter of the same epistle, verses 4-10. He wroto to the Philippians in a slmllaf strain : "I know both how ... to abound and to suffer need." We could have no doubt that he received help In tills variety of experiences, for in Acts 20:22 be declares, "Having there fore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day," and again in Phil. 4:19 he asserts that God will supply oil our needs,1 according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.. The Apostle Paul found u source o? help to Which he i v tle > every needy soul fur a share In the good things so freely ned folly supplied. What welcome news to struggling, perplexed mortals ls an nounced in mis textl First, there ls a PLACE that offers help. This suggests the practical not simply advice given based on beautiful theories, but tangible help for life's perplexities. Just as real as the need, ls the help offered. Second, thnt place ls a THRONE. A throne ls symbol leal of wisdom and power. Furthermore, a throne ls the most carefully guarded place In the world of men. It ls the seat of au* thorlty of the king, whose presence ls august und fearful; to enter which, unbidden, ls death. Yet we are in? vited to come boldly to the throne of the text, to find help In time of need. Third, It is a THRONE OF GRACE. Ah, that matchless word, "grace," makes all the difference. Why ls lt a throne of grace? Because upon lt ls not only the King, but a High Priest, who has mode propitiation for sinners, reconciling them, as enemies, unto God and making lt possible for them to be admitted to the secret place of the Most High. It ls the presence on the throne of the Ono wdio offered a sufficient and satisfactory sacrifice of Himself for sin, that turns it from a habitation of justice and Judgment Into n household of grace. Here we may come, no longer ns suppliant citizens of the realm, but as rightful children of ihe Father's heart. Last of ntl : How do W0 come? There ls only one entrance to the throne room; lt ls by the way of peti tion. So there is only one way to tho throne of grace, that ls by the beauti ful gate of prayer. Has prayer any value? "For -be that cometh to God must believe that He ls. and that He ls the rewarder of them that diligent ly seek Him." Is prayer practical? Ask those who frequent the throne. Has God not said. "If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts un to your children, how much more shall your Father, which ls In heaven, glvo good things to them thnt ask Him." Prayer may fail. God cnn never rall. IIa will answer every prayer. "Let us come boldly." Tho Christian Ministry. The Christ Inn ministry was set up In those ancient ?lays when the New Testament was being written. With nil the changes of time and circum stance, With all Its own Infinite va riety of functions, that ministry ls still essentially whnt lt was then, meant for a great missionary Institution. The reason why lt exists ls. to spread light to strengthen and build up goodness, to carry on tho never-ending war against wrong and evil and degen eracy.

'Bristol, Va.-Tenn., Jan. 25.-Dis covery of approximately 800 human skeletons in a cave in the mountains, about 15 miles from Bristol, was made to-day by Prof. Henry Wood man, of Bristol, who made an Inspec tion of tho cave at the invitation of the mountaineers. An opening which runs 40 feet straight down in the earth was found several days ago 'by people living in I that section. Upon making investi gation' they found several human skulls. The skulls were brought to Bristol and newspaper men and col lege professors were asked to enter and inspect the interior of tho open ing. Upon descending the tunnel by means of a rope Prof. Woodman found a heap of human bones 30 feet high and a'bout 80 feet wide. Indian hatchets and beads wero also found. The cave has several tunnels reach ing off on the side and is in the shape of a huge crevice in the earth. Tho bones wore partly covered over by earth,which is thought to have fallen in from tho opening above. The peak of the heap ls directly under the en trance, and this lends to the belief that the Indians throw their dead in to the cavity. Tho heap ls cone-shaped and con tains an assortment of every bone iii the human body. Prof. Woodman de clares that experiments show that some of the bones have been In the cave for about a thousand years. A number of exports and archaelogists are planning to spond a night in the cavo to continue tho Investigation. Thb cavo Is located in a spot In tho mountains almost Inaccessible.
