The boll weevil has practically covered the eotton belt, but there seems to be no marked reduction in the amount of cotton grown as a result. The 'act is the boll weevil can not and will not overthrow the South'* greatest crop. How are farmers meeting the boll weevil most successfully? There are two main ways: (i) Pushing the cotton to early maturity and (2) Killing the boll weevil. i no lonewing questions ana answers give the main things that are being done and also the mistakes that are being made: PUSHING THE COTTON CROP. What soils are preferred for hastening the croo? Well drained, light soils warm up earlier and grow off the cotton quicker than heavy or poorly drained soils. Sandy soils are, therefore, better than clayey soils. Is it advisable to use poor soils? It would be a serious mistake. Poor soils never did pay, and with the boll weevil taking toll, poor land cotton will only put the farmer into a deeper hole. Remember that it costs more to grow cotton under boll weevil conditions, and there must be enough cotton to make it worth while to fight with the boll weevil. What varieties of cotton are preferred? Any variety which will set an abundance of bolls early and will continue to set fruit throughout the season. A variety which is early but which also quits fruiting early is not desirable because the weevils will do heavier damage to the bolls when they do not find, squares to puncture. Cleveland strains are most generally preferred Dy iarmers. , What methods of cultivation art used to hasten maturity? Frequent, shallow cultivation until the greater part of the crop is set. Then less frequent cultivation. The later cultivation should be the skipmiddle method, taking alternate middles and with the next cultivation tak ing the ones that were skipped. This keeps half of the ^octs of the cotton plant undisturbed so that there will be less shedding, mor' squaring and better protection of the cotton bolls. KILLING THE WEEVIL. Is the poison method of killing the weevil practical? It i3, but it is a particular methoo which many farmers may fail with when they first try 'it, because they a/e not in the hat't of doing particular things right the first time. If the rules for poisoning are adhered to strictly the cotton fanner will get the most complete and economic control of the weevil of any method known. Any one contemplating the use of poison should get complete instructions from the Government Boll Weevil Station. Tallulah, La.,?the State Entomologist, or agricultural colleges. Does it pay to kill the weevils on the yojng cotton stalks before squares begin to form? If the weevils come out of winter quarters in large numbers and threaten to take all the first squares, it is considered advi^ble to kill as many of them as possible. Calcium arsenate Bprinkled from a perforated can or from a cheese bag on the young plants is the most efficient and economical method of killing the weevils on the young plants. It is not necessary to apply the poison until just before the squares begin to form. Is it practical to gather and destroy squares? If the poison method is not used it will often be found necessary to gather and destroy damaged squares that contain immature weevils, in order to have assurance of any sort of a crop. Picking up squares is not as efficient nor as inexpensive as poisoning, but if thoroughly done a fair to good crop can be obtained. Is poisoned molasses applied to cotton effective? Poisoned molasses or other poisoned sweets will kill some boll weevils during dewless nights, but the poisoned sweets will kill honey bees and other sweet loving insects that are needed to carry from flower to flower the pollen that causes them to fruit. Calcium arsenate dust is more efficient and less expensive to use where poisoned molasses are effective. Are boll weevil traps practical? A farmer never tries a trap more than once. The government has tried all kinds and recommends none. Can the say of cotton be poisoned so as to poison or repel the weevil? The Creator has given all plants the power to absorb through their roots plant food and to resist all that is not plant food. If plants could not resist the poisons in the soil we might run a risk cf being poisoned every time we ent a potato, apple berry, etc. Can the boll weevil be driven from cotton by offensive odors? The boll weevil has not yet been sr. c'ssfully combatted through its breathing organs. It has beea subje tr-ri to the moat intense wai; Qlf without results. ^ 0 Cherts in Argentina. Argentina Is becoming one of the sporting countries of the world, says the New York livening Post. Soccer football is a favorite there, as ure fetiiiS-. JVId hookey. boxing and fencing. The fashionable rowing center called Tigre, about twenty miles from liuenos Aires, resembles New London or llenley. First class cricket Is played, and golf is improving. Nearly all the great estancias have their polo teams and many thrilling meets are held. The Argentine polo team, *Y?"iI?l Horse Iianch," followers of the game will remember, created a sensation in Lngland some time ago. / CLosEjTEi Trespasser on Holy Ground in Great Danger. Adventurer Saved Only by Sheik Wht Had Taken a Fancy to the 8uppoeed Bedouin. Two hundred and forty miles from Mecca, the place of pilgrimage of believers In the Mohammedan faith, la a town of nearly equal religious reverence?Medina, writes Temple Manning In the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Here rests the body of Mohammed In a marble-paved mosque, whose entire surface Is covered with costly praying rugs. It was to Medina, where It Ls deuth for u "Nazareenl," or Christian, to be found, that I foolishly tried 10 make my way. I thought that 1 might be able to pass for a Mohammedan where so many different nationalities meet In a com mon babel of speech. Other Europeans had been successful, and, although their number can be counted on i the fingers of your two hands, I hoped j to add niy name to theirs. With the help of an European I I dyed my skin, donned Arab costume, and spent many long dayB in practicing Mohammedan customs so I might pass as one of the elect When my teacher pronounced me perfect in all my lessons 1 Joined a caravan and set out with 600 pilgrims to cross the desert. Encamped near the village of Gublma, close by a slave caravan, whose hopeless merchandise we could hear walling In the night, the picketed camels and glowing campflres of our company, a Bedouin sheik, who had taken a liking to me, was sitting beside my fire. Quite suddenly he glanced up and spoke rapidly to his men, who left us alone, and then he turned to me. Without warning he tossed a small tobacco pouch toward me and called: "Catch Itl" Let anyone do that to you. If you are a man you will bring your legs together, If you are sitting down, so you can catch the missile In your lap. Now, It must be remembered that, after the fashion of a Bedouin, I wore a long, flowing robe. To all purposes It was a dress, and women and Bedouins make their laps, not by bringing their legs tftether, but by spreading them out As I have said, 1 brought my legs sharply together. I did not know what a mistake I had mnde until later. The sheik nevpr said a word to me then. He rose from my fire and passed out Into the night. Early the next morning, before duwn had broken, the sheik and two men came quietly to my little camp. His two men woke me from sound sleep and told me that 1 was to go back the way I bad come with them. In other words, I was not to be pennltted to go to Medina. I protested, and my captors threatened me; then the ahelk came and spoke to me. lie told me, more In laughter than anger, that he had found me out, and he told me how he had made the discovery. If he had permitted me to go further, my life would probably have been forfeited by my Ignorance. As it was, I went back along the desert, having failed because 1 did not know how to play "catch" with a dresa on. TOMATO PLANTS.
