WEEVIL IX TEXAS. Takes Five Acres to Raise Bale of Cotton. "The person who gave out the information that we, in Texas, have learned how to conquer the boll weevil must have interviewed no one in Texas, but an agent for the boll weevil dusting machines, and these machines are very expensive and not any too successful/' The foregoing statement was authorized recently in Dallas, Texas, by Jeff F. Montgomery, secretary of the executive committee of the Texas ^ Farm Bureau Cotton association. Mr. Montgomery continued: - ** OIAOI* "Til? following USUI CO OUUUiu vicai the minds of farmers as to whether Texas farmers have been able to do anything: worth while in regard to the boll weevil: ''The weevil entered Texas from Mexico in 1895. In the year 1894 we p planted 6,854,621 acres of cotton, and produced 3,140,392 bales. During the following years the boll weevil made a steady advance. "In 1913 was our next bumper crop. That year we planted 12,597,000 acres and produced 3,795,024 bales. You will note that this production is very little more than the number of bales produced in 1894, and that the amount of acreage was doubled. ? "Tr? 192ft wa made the lareest crop 1 we have made since the boll weevil came into Texas. In that year wej planted 12,567,000 acres and produc- j ed 4,337,000 bales of cotton. "Last year, 1921, the boll weevil did more damage in Texas than it has ever done in one year. In 1921 we planted 10,961,000 acres and produced only 2,900,000 bales of cotton. You will observe that it took five acres on the average to make a bale of cotton. "'How is that for conquering the boll weevil? "In Texas we figure roughly tbat the boll weevil has doubled the cost of producing cotton. Where cotton could be produced a few years ago at 10 cents per pound, it now costs 20 . cents per pound. "R. B. Coad, expert in charge of the' Delta laboratory of the bureau of entomology, maintained by the United States department of agriculture at Tallulah, La., says that the ' boll weevil, on the average, gets onefourth of the crop. Last year in many parts of the country the boll weevil got three-fourths of the cotton % crop. <fMost of the ootton grown in Texas is raised on non-fertilized laud. * In east and northeast Texas we have some land very similar to Georgia land. We have found that the boll weevil makes the production of cotton so uncertain in this part of Texas that farmers do not any more feel that they can afford to use fertilizer on 'cotton because a cotton crop in - that section is such a gamble. In this section of the state the farmers are turning to other things, such as iweet potatoes, ribbon Cane syrup, A?v ?? melons, yeauues, CLU. "Our experience has taught us this About the boll weevil: The farmer can raise more cotton on a small acreage, he is in a better position to fight t!he boll weevil. If weather conditions are favorable to the boll weevil in the summer, if it rains in July and August very much there is not much use in fighting them even on a small acreage. "Dusting machines for fighting the boll weevil have been expensively used because they are rather high in price, and the poison must be used at night or early morning when the dew is on the plant, and the whole process is expensive as well as un-> pleasant. Unless a farmer can produce one-fourth bale to the acre he ran not afford. Dr. Coad savs. to use poison. "Intensive cultivation is the most expensive means to kill out the boll weevil. Shallow cultivation of the cotton fields each week is ready. This cultivation is kept up until almost harvest time, in the later weeks using only one furrow in the middle with a hill sweep. Also all early squares falling off should be picked up and burned." Oak Grove Club. Oak grove girls home demonstration club held its regular monthly meeting May 2. The meeting was called to order, roll called, minutes read and approved. There being no further business the meeting was then turned over to Miss Varn. A lesson on cake making was given. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned. SALLIE GEORGE. Sec. Often the age of Albanian women is unknown even to them, due to the fact that they have no calendars there. Mrs. Ralph.

Ninety-eight per cent, of the liquoi i now sold in violation of the prohibitary laws is unfit for drinking. This is the declaration of J. M. k Doran, head of the industrial alcohol and chemical division of the prohibition unit. It is supported by the findings of William V. Linder and his staff of chemists in the prohibition unit's laboratories. In the last year, according to Do ran, the internal revenue lauorauuries examined approximately forty thousand samples, of which twenty thousand were illicit liquors. Xot more than 2 per cent, were what would have been known as "fair whisky" in the days before prohibition, that is, whisky aged in the wood. "The balance ranged from rank deadly poison containing wood alcohol to milder poisons, which would however, procTuce the same result il consumed for a sufficient length ol time," said Doran, "the difference being one of degrees only. "Samples reaching the prohibitior laboratories show the bonded whisky of pre-prohibition days is graduallj and surely disappearing. The gooc whisky reaches the consumer chiefly through the use of prescriptions, bul even some of the drug store produci ; || Last && 1 ji > II 1 i* 1 ft . it is bad. "A great deal of illicitly distillec liquor is vended to the public undei the guise of straight whisky bottlet in bond," said Doran. "This stuff fre quently is covered with foreign labels and caution notices, and carries i forged strip stamp over the neck o the bottle. Some of these forgeries are very clever, and only skilled per sons are able to detect them." SOLDIER STILL UNBUURIED. Statesville Father Will Allow None t< Inter His Dead Son. There is a nation wide interest ii the unusual announcement that ar Iredell county man, John Speaks, has refused to accept $5,000 insurance which the government has offered anc is ready to pay on the life of his son Thomas Speaks, who was killed ir overseas service during the worlc war. AnotheT peculiarity about this citizen is that he refuses to bury the bod] of his boy. The remains of Thomai Speaks arrived in Statesville, N. C. In August, 1921, and were immediate ly taken to the home of 'his parents near Jennings postoffice, about 2S miles north of Statesville. In September following, the writer made ? special visit^to the Speaks home anc found the casket of the dead soldiei boy resting on two chairs in the besi room in the "house. Mr. Speaks stated that he^did noi want to bury his boy and would noi do so unless he was forced to do so bj law, adding tljat he meant to build ? "Hftip hniisp. nearbv in which to keel the body until his own death anc then he wanted the remains of his boy to be placed beside his own. Lat est reports indicate that the young soldiers' body still rests undisturbec in the home of his parents, eighi months after its arrival. Another peculiarity about Mr Speaks is that while he reads his Bible regularly and claims to be deep ly religious, still he is at variancs with the churches and will not attenc a church or Sunday school and wil not permit a member of his family t( attend public religious services of an3 kind. Local authorities would have fore ed Speaks to bury the body of his soi if it had been shown to be insanitary but the remains have been reduced t< a skeleton and the county health of ficials could not say that it was dan gerous to the health of the family onH ttiorefnrA were nowerless to en force burial. Showing 'Em Araund. An Oxford undergraduate, famoui for his impudence, was showing som< country relations around the colleg< quadrangle. They arrived in front o; the master's residence. "That," he explained, "is the mas ter's residence." 'He pointed to some rooms on th< second floor: "That's the master's study,'' h< said. He next indicated a large bay win dow. "That is the master's study win dow," he continued. Then he picked up a stone from th( walk and threw it at the window. I broke with a startling noise, and in stantly an old gentleman?his fac< purple with rage?appeared at th< ruined sash. "And that," the undergraduat< continued imperturbably, "is the mas ter himself."
