Mr*. 43inks must have had a disappointing
afternoon at the hurguin
counters, for she returned to her CapHot
Hill home with the quick, decisive
trend that indicated a highly irrltulde
neental condition to those who knew
fecr well. This condition, Glenn Furley
writes In the Seattle Post-lntelllgencer,
was not huproved hy the discovery
that her ten-year-old son Willie
was entertaining practically ull of the
aolgfeborhood' children in the house,
and that one of the most effervescent
of tlie guests was a large, wooly,
strange dog, whose booming bark naaolled

that Seattle had won a game '

enthusiastically. "I predicted from ,

howl from Willie. Ills mother had !
reached him finally, In an unguarded j
moment, and she hud a linn grasp on |
the slack of his trousers. Two de- !
cLsive whacks were administered ,
amidst howls that would have put u
normal welkin out of business. I

"Not a word from you," saW his
mother. "You've got to get rid of

"But tho dog?" Insisted Willie.
Ttie boy evaded a swipe that would
bave put him out of business, but he
got out of the danger zone and Unlabel

The dog belongs to Bennle Gunn
and lie Is a St. Bernanl and a prize

than a thousand dollars. Bennle has
him chained up now."
Blnks wns about to smile discreetly,
when his wife said :
"George, If you're through your dinner
yon may be excused."
Her husband looked around doubtfully

There will be two more scorings in

offers prizes as follows:
Highest total score 1st barrel churn
Highest total scare 2d Sanitary Milk

Highest average, Butter Mold.
Greatest Improvement. Butter Mold.
Use of Milk Doubled since 1890.
Average now is 44 gallons.
Forty four gallons of milk are
used by each person in the United
States annually, according to estimates
made by the dairy division of
the United States Department of Agriculture.
This estimate refers to
whole milk, and does not include that
which is consumed in the form of ice
Team, cheese and butter. The amount
is about twice as much as that used
n 1890 when the per capita consumption
was approximately 22 gallons.
The dairy specialists point out that

the increase in the use of milk in the
last 30 years Is as great as that in the
preceeding 280 years.
The present day consumption of
milk in the United States, they say,
is equal to about one pint per day.
That is not a great amount when it
is known that it includes not only
the milk that is used for drinking,
but also that used in cooking. This
is a small amount compared to the
per capita consumption in some European
counties. IS Sweden and
Switzerland, for example, nearly 70
gallons are used by each person annually.
In relating the growth of the dairy
industry in this country the department
specialists say that in pioneer
days each family kept its own cow.
The denser the population became the
more important it was to have a well
regulated and ample supply of milk.
Gradually the number of cows increased,
and in time a dairy business grew
up in various sections. The development
of modern methods in the distribution
of milk, with economic and
sanitary handling, has been closely
accompanied by the larger use of this
food, they say.
Much of the milk now used In cities
comes many miles, and recently
improved methods have made it possible
to ship it for long distances in
refrigerator cars. At the National
Dairy Show in Chicago in 1919, milk
shipped from the Pacific Coast took
first prize in the market?milk competition
with the highest score ever
given in recent years to milk.
_ Cities have always used a smaller
amount of milk in proportion to thej
number of people than general farm-]
ing communities. There are, however,]

'al rural districts where cows are not
kept and where modern methods of
milk distribution *re not equal to
-most cities. The people in such places
hare to depend on canned milk of various
kinds and this the dairymen
say, is an exceedingly valuable means
of supplying a need, which 20 or 30
years ago could not have been supplied
at all.

"The Locusts of Egypt."
"No, I do not share the view of
seme of our farmers that we are in
fci two or more years of trouble under
boll weevil conditions," remarked
Mr. R. S. Moore of Fork. "On the
other hand I believe"*we are entering
upon the greatest era of prosperity
the south has ever known. For the
past fifty years we have been working
our children and raising more
cotton than the world could consume.
We made more cotton than we could
gather and lots of it was unspinable
and helped to drive the price down.
We held cotton meetings and it was
pointed out and proven to u8 that we
were planting more cotton than the
world needed but the advice we got
was like pouring water on a duck's
back. Now providence has intervened
and shown us the error of our ways.
Heavy rains, excessive temperatures
and the boll weevil have forced us to
do something we should have done
long ago and now the certainty of a
short crop has run the price of cotton
up to a living price. The whole sit

boil weevil is going ' to do for the
south what the locust did for Egypt
?lift it out of bondage.' I was impressed
by what the preacher said,
and I verily believe that the coming
of the boll weevil is going to prove
to be one of the greatest blessings
we have ever had. We can plant four
or five acres of cotton to the plow
and make a good crop by keeping the
weevils off the cotton and put the
balance of our lands in foodstuffs we
have been buying in the west. The
saving in fertilizers alone will amount
to a big sum and what cotton we
make will be of a good grade. No, I
am not losing any sleep over the coming
of the boll weevil. It will yet
make the south one of the greatest
countries on the face of the earth."
o
Humeri Down Boll Weevils.
In reply to the enquiry, "Are the
boll weevils doing you much harm?"
Mr. R. McDaniel of the Hamer section
answered in his characteristic [
manner: "Doing me any harm, did
you aBk? They have cleaned up my
top crop and there is no telling how
much further they will go. They are
the greediest things I ever saw. It
takes them no time to eat all the blossoms
on a stalk. The weevils didn't
raise in my section. They came from
somewhere else. Two weeks ago you
could not have found a weevil anywhere
in my community, but along
about 2 o'clock one evening .a big
thunder cloud came up from toward
Latta and it* rained down boll weevils.
After that rain I went out in
my field and the cotton was full of
