Is Your
Memory Good?
Just exactly haw good a
memory have you? When you
pay bUls, do you jus^, "remem
ber" that they are paid or are
you already always sure to ask

The safest, easiest and most
convenient way to pay bills is
to open an account at the First

cord how many trap lights will yon

Now hero comes a .sticker piu*|H>i"t
I ed t*? be a now discovery that liiakw
the liquid imiKoii adhere to the plant
through all kinds of weather; We
do not mean ( < ? *q>eak dispnraningVy
of the sticker. and do .not e'aJm that
this subject has been exhausted. The
! i a refill, patriotic and trained ox peri-"
mentor is testing the subject, hut is
l.uot usliur. liquid* nt this .time, a-*
those have no additional seed <*<>tton
to their credit in acouraftdy eonduct- ?;
i ed tests. I'pon .such a record, how
i many stickers wLM yon buy in 1922?
Then ther are the men with html1
or*. They aiv eonviawd that their j
poisoning substance. will kill the \Veo
vil iinine<lia tely, because of the
mysterious hinder that they have
added. Hut** there is no evidence yet
in accurately eon due ted tests that
these hinders .have over (paid their
way to a cotton field, or that they
have a pound of Meed cotton to their
credit.
And who . has- heard of the remark -
aide baits? We like sweets, of course f
and if we like them why should n<?t
the boll weevil like them ? -just as
though we and tl?e boTd weevils were
alike. Hy this rnle, why should tbe
house fl.v eat manure when we do not
like it? "Poison Sweet" was Jioin In
Texas two dosten years ago and since
that time had to 1h> perambulated in tbe
wnke of the advancing weevil crying
fer attention, beouu.se j>eople who had
| had experience with it found it an in
corrigible. worthless and destructive
kid and would not entertain it. ITow
many poison sweets wiM you entertain
in 1922?
And finally, here comes a follow
with extracts from the cotton plant
a marvelous discovery of the century.
What then are commercial extracts of
the cotton plant? If you want to call
cottonseed oil an extract, we.M and pood,
but who ever saw a boll weevil interest
ed in cotton seed or any of its by pro
ducts?
The pink boll worm considered cot
ton seed par-excellence for breakfast
dinner, and supper, but the boM wee
vil has never been aJ>le to see anything
attractive about cotton seed or cotton
seed oil. The weevtl likes cotton seed
for winter shelter, but beyond that he
has no use for it. The research la bora -
tories are giving attention to extracts,
but these, even if they prove valuable,
are still in their Infancy and not avail
able for use.
No Proved Remedy Except Dusting
We have searched (be records for
evidence. I>id the evidence erfist that
one or more of these things have value,
then we should leave our post at Olem
son and travel up and' down the state
tootling ti horn and waving a flag, call
ing the attention of every farmer to
this evidence, but it does not extst.
Not all poisoning attempts s<\ far
have succeeding but where success was
obtained it was obtained by dust,
property applied a<xv>rding to a de
finite scheme laid down by the
FNslera^l Government at tbe I>elta
laboratory, Tallulah. T>a. We have
been mailing out our letter on "Poison,
ing in 1021'" all the spring and are still
mailing it, accompalned by Circular
102 of the Delta laboratory. These
publications are still available for dis
tribution. We stand ready to render
any assistance possible to these who
have decidfxl to Control the boll weevil
by approved methods found profitable
in accurately conducted tests. Iiut we
can not advise our farmers to use those
things That have no evidence in their
favor.
