* J'
New Orleans, La., Dec. 16*—That
there was a prolific development of
boll weevils during the fall months to
go into hibernation/for next year’s at
tack on the cotton crop; is shown con
clusively by reports to the National
Boll Weevil Control Association. Re
plies received to a questionnaire sent
out to about 1,200 banks, chambers of
commerce, county agents and local
committees cooperating with the Na
tional Boll Weevill Control Associa
tion show that in about 55 per cent of
the regions of heavy infestation in
1923 there was a heavy development
of weevil during the month of October
and the early part of November.
Many farmers report the largest num
ber of weevils ever observed in the
whole history of the pest.
The probability is that there was a
heavy development in more regions
than those reported because at the
time the questionnaire was sent out
all danger of injury to the cotton crop

day of the month at the hour of ten The percentage of farmers practicing
o’clock in the forenoon. this, method is not so large as the
very careful observations. In a few
instances reporting no development
the association made further inquiries
and found that there was on closer
examination weevil development.
Hence it is fair to say that in much
more than half the cotton belt large
broods of the pest have gone r.
hibernation. How they will fare uu
ing the winter remains to be seen tyit
it/has been shown by 30 years of ex
perience that even the severest win
ter does not kill all of the weevils
and even a light emergence next
spring with favorable weather follow
ing will develop a heavy infestation.
The experience of 1924 is not to be
taken as an index to weevil depreda
tions hereafter. The weather of the
past season was fortunately favorable
to the growth of cotton and unfavor
able to the development of weevil but
as is shown by these reports the wee
vil is not eradicated, its vigor is not
diminished, and it is to be reckofted
with hereafter as heretofore and is
to' be combated only by approved
methods of proper varieties, proper
spacing, proper cultivation and , pois
oning whenever the infestation ex
ceeds 10 per cent.
Reports to the National Boll Wee
vil Control Association also reflect a
very gratifying degree of improve
ment in the methods of farming, par
ticularly with reference to weevil
control. In all the states there is an
increase of the farming practices re
commended by the United States de
partment of agriculture and the ag
ricultural colleges, particularly with
reference to improved varieties, ferti
lization and close cultivation. Rough
ly speaking, three-fourth of the re
ports to the questionnaire show that
farmers are using these improived
methods—not all farmers but a con
siderable number in some regions as
many as 90 per cent.
The reports show also that there
has been considerable progress in the
practice of burying the cotton stalks
well in advance of the cold weather
in order to decrease the number of
weevils going into hibernation and
subsequently destroying the weeds
and trash in order to kill those that
have taken refuge for the winter.
All persons holding claims or de
mands of any kind against the coun
ty, not previously presented, are here
by notified and required to file the
same with the clerk of the board on

P/e.-ident. Coolidge is considering
he tariff on sugar. That tariff, so
high, is a hardship on our friends in
Cuba. Cuba complains that it is high
er than it need be to give profit to
sugar growers in the United States.
Sugar is necessary to the health
and growth of children, necessary,
also, by the way, to those that obey
the constitution and do their distill
ing inside of their own bodies.
The president undoubtedly will set
tle the sugar question having in mind
the needs of millions of American
mothers.
This story comes from Ann Arbor
concerning the magnificent University
of Michigan. Twenty years ago a
mining property at Ligoma, Ontario,
was deeded to the university. The giv
ing of the mire was then looked upon
as a joke; it hadn’t any value.
But the Board of Regents of the
university will soon give details of
the discovery that the mine is worth
ten million dollars. ,
That will do two things. It will
put the ten million dollars, through
the university, into the building of
better brains. A good use for the
money.
It will give sharks that live on fools
a text to use in the selling of worth
less mining stock.
Edison has his mind on flying. May
it be many years before he starts
his great flight.
The helicopter will let men rise
straight up from the earth. Eagles
can’t do that.
We shall fly at speed undreamed of
now and the flying machine will revo
lutionize civilization.
All that he says is true and much
more. But the revolution in civiliza
tion will come in men’s brains, and
come slowly. It won’t come ,through
machinery, although that will help.
Men invented machines that ought
to have freed the slaves. But they
fastened wage slaves to the machines.
They invented flying machines, and
their first real use was dropping T.
N. T. and poison gas on other white
men and on savages.
Science moves swiftly, the brain
moves slowly, and civilization moves
slowly with it.

Atlanta, Dec. 16.—A story by Miss
Bessie King, twenty-five, that she
had been carried from her home by
two men and rushed to a thicket on
a lonely road near the city, where
she was flogged, late today led to the
arrest of Henry Pinson and L.* H.
Pinson, brothers, automobile tire deal
ers.
Miss King, who was found in a
semi-conscious condition on the road,
identified the two mien and they were
arrested on a charge of “disorderly
conduct” and held in $5,000 bond.
The girl charged that the two
men came to her home this after
noon and, with revolvers, forced her
to accompany them to the spot where
she was whipped. ' L. H. Pinson was
said to have admitted he Was in the
automobile which carried Miss King
to the secluded spot. He denied any
connection with the whipping. The
other brother declined*to discuss the
case.
Miss King told officers she could
offer no explanation of the affair,
but added that she was under sus
picion of having disturbed papers in
the tire store. Her face was badly
swollen and her body bleeding in
several places when motorists discov
ered her.

Dr. Gerin comes to demonstrate a

this new method, six hundred cases of

cious anaemia without blood transfu

May wheat has passed $1.64. It
will sell higher. Farmers are rushing
their grain to the market now, feeling
that these prices will do. You will
remember that this column predicted
$1.50 wheat when the price was below
$1.20. Unfortunately, gamblers have
probably made more than farmers, al
though the farmers, for whom this is
written, have also profited—those that
held their wheat.
A first-claas gross business of six
thousand million dollars a year for
the big first-class railroads ought to
make some profit possible, with rea
sonable economy and modern methods.
However, it is so much easier to
raise freight and passenger rates than
it is to economize or keep up to date,
especially when you have no real com
petition.
