One of the most effective steps in boll weevil control is the early destruction of ootton stalks. Just as soon gs the cotton can be harvested, go into the cotton field and either turn nder the cotton stalks or rip them up with a plow, The object is to -destroy the cotton plants. Weevils can not feed on dead cotton stalks. When their food is dedtrnviu) tkav n.lirratn tn u'hnra can feed or else fo into winter-quarter*. Whether are thus driven away from your firm or driven into winter qarters Che probabilities of their damaging you again next season are greatly reduced. Over mog of the cotton belt it is possible to gather the cotton early enough to permit of the destruction of the cotton stalks flfree to flour weeks before a killing frost will destroy them. Three to four weeks earlier in going into winter quarters ncans that death, of weevils from starvation and cold will be greatly in em WE WISH' IN OUR NEW CORNER OF K WE EXTEI INVITATION T TO THE P1 TVir i iTnn n? inn LAitn 3 rmer It is the last weevils that go into winter quarters that cause damage in the cotton crop the next year. If all of these were starved out by destroying cotton stalks early there would of course, be an end of the weevil. While one car. not expect that cotton will ever be destroyed early and completely enough to accomplish a complete eradication of the weevil, it is true that to the extent that this is done the number of weevils and their damage will be reduced. Chopping down cotton stalks leaves stubs that sprout new growth on which^the weevil can feed, therefore, the only safe way is to uproot the stalks or else, with the aid of a drag chain, to turn them completely under thg^furrow slice. t ( ^owing^EMtrhahy ebtldfe Bimfti' do not. plow deep enough to cover up cotton stalks, the safest general advice is to uproot the stalks with a plow and to watch that no new growth starts up. As long as there is green cotton growth left In the field, the weevil will be found. It will crawl into a lock of cotton : or half opened bur to keep warm and I come out when the sun shines to feed 1 on the green stuff. Don't burn the cotton stalks. Let them lay on the ground. When the ground is plowed they can be turned i under where they will decay and add the organic matter which the soils so much need. I Why not organize a communitywide, or county-wide movement for the early destruction of cotton stalks. It means less trouble from the weevils next year. Some Episcopal Churches Practice Divine Healing Chicago, Sept. 28.?Consideration at the Protestant Episcopal triennial general conference of divine healing, and the question of giving it official sanction as a part of church work, draw attention to the fact that several churches in the Chicago diocese already maintained classes Ifi faith healing. Among such churches are the Church of the. Redeemer, of" which Rev. Dr. John Henry Hopkins is rector, and St. Chrysostom's, of which Rev. Dr. Norman P. Hutton is rector. The Rev. H. P. Pullin, assistant rector of St. Chrysostom, declared that the purpose of the class at this church was not tp supplant the physician, but to cooperate with the physician by strengthening faith and mind. "Our methods," he said, "is that of James Hickson, the Anglican layman who conducted meetings of healing in Chicago a few years ago. It involves private prayer of intercession, meet, ings with prayer and the laying on o' hands, and private conferences with the ill. "The people of the parish are much interested with the work. I know of no miracles that have resulted from it, but I am satisfied that those who have coma to these meetinga-tfor help have been generally strengthened.

"The question is not one of divine power, but of its application," said Kt. Rev. S. M. Griswold of Evanston, suffragan bishop of the Chicago diocese. "The report to the conference of the commission of the church which examined the matter was very thorough-going." In area. Turkey is not much larger than California. ^ j v ....

'How close the sheep Industry in this country came to annihilation during the inflation period is not realized by the general public," stated the survey. "It was all but wiped out. Imported rams were butchered and sold as meat owing to the collapse of the market." There'is a mad scramble to get back into the business now that the market .haft rfitairnrd fri a stable level., thp sur. vey states, and herds whichv almost disappeared are being revived. The supply of breeding stock, sheep association officials say, is the lowest in 2 Oyears and the demand for such stock on the Pacific coast is the greatest? seen in double that time. Texas, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana also I report a large demand. "In the corn belt where the maize crops cap be fed to three dollar mut ion, the problem is to find the lambs," declares the survey. "It appears tha: I a higher price for fat lambs will prei vail this fall, despite the present alI titude. ' "The institute believes that wood [ growing shold be conducted as a side I line rather than as an essential industry. Sheep men are in the habit of virtually ceasing business when the wool market is against . them, And i then slowly working back when the tide turns. While the United States cannot compete in the wool markets of the world with Australia and Argentine, yet it is unthinkable that the whole agricultural system should be thrown out of the balance by ignoring wool."
