The "Sure Cure*' For { Cotton Boll Weevil By Jas. L- Carbery. With the season for planting cotton near at hand, somewhat with the instinct with which a "drowning man grabs at a straw," farmers are greatly interested in the numerous socalled "Sure Cure" for boll weevil, and in some eases buying direct or taking stock in the company. Much has l>een said and written warning the cotton farmer to "beware of false prophets," and were it not for this 'timely admonition supplemented by the alert county agents, quite a lot of money would be spent uselessly. The fundamental principle of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and State Colleges is to protect the farming public against imposters, to teach and encourage the farmer in applying the best practical and economic methods, and to send 'out unreservedly advance information concerning every feature of agriculture. Particularly observant are these forces concerning naw creations and untried schemes. If something new develops opportunity is freely afforded by the College und Department of Agriculture for a fair test. Should this test prove convincing, in due course of time the public is advised, but not until it has passed the experimental stage. In this connection our government, and certainly every State College in the cotton belt, has been diligently for years, searching for better methods of weevil control, and the individual who succeeds must in turn have the approval of these forces before he can expect their ^commendation without which the purchaser of any "sure cure" cannot expect approval of either the State College or County Agent. For years the farmers of South Carolina have been warned of the apL-ii : ^ - ? 111 uaciiiiig nun weevil, UiKl OI MS devastating inuflences elsewhere and urged*to make preparation. A few have heeded the admonition and done so. Tons of literature have been distributed wide-spread giving in detail ever known and approved boll weevil control method culturally and otherwise, and there still remains in the office of the County Agent and elsewhere a liberal supply awaiting demand of the farmer. As new control methods are discovered the farmer is officially advised. To date of this' the calcium arsenate poison method in addition to clean farming, cultural methods, etc., is the only thing known from which bene- ? ficial results have been obtained, and this, like the other control methods must be used intelligently and in connection with the others. See Circular No. 162 by Coad & Cassidy, U. S. Department of Agri- t culture, or write Clemson College direct for any information needed if s you are not in close touch with your t County Agent. j( Follow only the best, authoritative 0 information. Practicing one or two or the boll weevil control methods will c not bring satisfactory results, it re- c quires the combination, not the least c of which is the use of pure seeds the best for the particular locality, and those which will mature before weevil c become too numerous. 1 "Beware of false prophets.

E. i Hansen, father of Alice, when the Vin- 1 did not meet specifications, and ex- ! pelled them until such times as their < skirts should be lowered. ] On application of Mr. Hansen, ' Judge Means issued a temporary or der directing the school board to per- ] mit the girls to return to their stud- ] ies. They did so, without reservations or amendments as to skirt length. ' Then the school board filed a demurrer to Judge Means' jurisdiction, which the judge upheld, and Hansen's attor- ; ney announced an appeal to the su- | preme court. The action of the school board ! stirred up a hornet's nest in the usu ally placid community of Vinland. Supporters of the school board said the board was right, that three inches below the knee was a liberal allowance ! for skirts. Others, particularly friends of the girls' mothers, said they believed Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Buch- j anan, who made the costumes in question at home, knew more about what ' was right and modest for girls to wear ' than any three men in the county, school board directors or not: , Judge Means was. made the jrecipi- i ent of much unasked advise and com- ( mendation, from hundreds of persons in all parts of the United States. Serious minded women wrote to him 1 gravely, prointing out the merits of ] short skirts from a sanitary stand- j s point. Others feared the decadence of'na- l tional morals, and still others were concerned over the peril to national ( liberties-if school boards were to be ( permitted to determine styles. The most voluble adherents of short 1 skirts among Judge Means' corre- 1 sja>ndents were women. ( One woman said that morals and 1 skirt lengths had no connections, that < it was all a question of the purpose and intent with which clothes were worn. Another declared skirts anywhere between the knees and the shoq 1 tops were entirely proper. " 1 Bruises-sprains ^ Alternate appUoatfaw hot and cold clothe?then apply?
