WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 21, 111*21 \
HO! LET'S WHIP
THE BOLL WEEVIL c
f
Those farmers and othura interested
in the success of the farmers who
were fortunate enough to attend the f
mass meeting in the courthouse yesterday
at noon were well paid for
their trouble. Indeed, the speeches
were good and they were to the point, j
Something definite in the way of in- {
formation was given and the information
is going to bear good fruit.
Several things stand out clearly in j
the minds of those who heard the ^
speeches, speeches by men qualified ^
to speak wisely. The first speaker,
Mr. Quinerly, is from Lee County, a
county in which the boll weevil is in
full swing. He is the county demon- I
stration agent there and spoke of ^
what he knew from practical observation
and experience. The other
\ gentlemen who spoke are experts {
along the line of agricultural develop- ^
ment# otherwise the Southern Rail- ^
way would not be paying them good
salaries and sending them up and
down the land to teach lessons the ^
farmers should know.
it-,.... .... i j_? J
i luui tnu ycsiuiuay we |
are able to get very closely the following
points: Poisoning, either by *
sweetening or by dusting: on the plant
in the dry state is not very good at
any time and is too expensive for
Union County, (
2.?Cotton can be raised in boll
weevil infested territory.
3.?We must not abandon cotton
altogether. ^
4.?We must raise all the food and t
feed stuffs necessary to feed man and i
beast on the farm. ?
i 5.?Then we must plant whatever 'r
acreage remains after the number j
necessary to do this is set apart in j
cotton.
6.?Having planted the right acre- i
age to cotton here is the way we i
must treat the cotton if we would t
control the boll weevil: ?
a. Tear up and plow under the old
cotton stalks by October 10, that
early if possible. Burn the trash and ^
litter accumulated in the hedgerows
and upon the terraces.
b. Start in early in May to pick- t
ing weevils from the hud and later 1
r
from the squares. Pick over the
field every two weeks. By* these f)
two methods you will get almost a 8
full crop of cotton. f
The two things given above are the
chief aids to raising cotton in boil <;
weevil territory. You can carry out i
these instructions only when you f
plant a small acreage and to hurrv
the crop you must use fertilizer.
The only other great matter stressed
in the meeting was the necessity
for raising food and feed stuff's sufficient
for our needs and the wisdom
of building up the soil by diversification
and by planting legumes.
The only thing about it is that up
to the present time not a single county
has ever follower! the advice until
one year of complete failure, such as
threatens Union County next year,
teaches the farmer wisdom. Ix't us
hope that Union County will he wise
enough to heed the advice before the
bitter year's experience comes!
If we could but be convinced before
the experience it would make very little
difference to us that the boll weevil
has come.
A few cows, a few hogs, chickens,
potatoes, some sort of cover crop,
corn, oats in sufficient quantity to

then cotton. Cotton treated by de- ^
stroying the old plants and by pick- i
ing the weevil from the new plants, t
All will be well if we but follow this
path.

t the Minnesota State Reformatory
>r Women its superintendent, Miss
lorence Monahan, told the National
onference on Catholic Charities here
might. The state is trying to proide
a normal wholesome life for its
omen prisoners, she said.
"Most of them," said Miss Monaan,
"would be like other women if
ley had had a fair start in life. In
ise alter case one finds that the girl
ever had a normal home life. In
ine cases out of ten she did not
ave a normal happy girlhood.
"We use the cottage plan in buildlg
an institution," she continued.
By placing small groups in separate
uildings we are able to more nearly
pproach the family in size. They
hould be in the country in as beauful
site as can be procured.
"All of us enjoy things which are
ntirely our own. By providing seprate
rooms for these women we apeal
to this desire. Most of them
ave never in their lives had the joy
nd privacy of their own rooms.
"They must be taught to love cleanness
and to want to live in it.
"The two most potent physical fac>rs
in the rehabilitation of these wolen
are plenty of wholesome food
rid sufficient constructive work. Each
onian should do a full day's work
/cry day.
"From May 1 to Nov. 1 we have a
irge group of women working on the
irm. They take care of a large
arden and help with the having,
locking of grain, cutting and huskig
com. And this summer six woicn,
under the supervision of one of
leir own number have worked out
ith 110 attempts to escape.
"After a hard day's work one
lould have leisure to enjoy. Our woen
have all evening in which to
ad, crochet, sing and enjoy themdves.
"Women who have special talents
e encouraged to cultivate them.
re have one woman on parole earng
$75 a month as a stenographer."
