Dec. .1.?The regulations I effective, today shortening hours of : stores and industries in order to pre- j j vent a coal famine "appjy alike to in i dustries. stores and business houses [actually burning coal oil or other fuel j in their plants and those using elec j trie power whether hydro-electric j 6r steam." the regional coal commit 'tee of the Southern region announced here late tonight. The committee stated that hydro electric power already is being di verted to distant communities depend ent ordinarily on steam produced elec tricity. The oommittee relaxed its regula- j tions. however, to permit!grocery and meat stores and milk depots to re- j mam open until <" p. m. daily except j Saturday when t.ieir closing hour is j S p. m. It refused requests of other mer- I chants coming under the classes clps- j tog at 4 p. m.. that they be permitted j f> remain open after that hour pro vided they used only candles or kero- | sene for light and no heat. . The committe late today accepted an offer of the local Boy Scouts to do "police duty" in connection with the regulations and it was expected sin>- j ilar action would be taken in other j Southern cities. | In response to hundreds of re-j onsets for interpretations from eveT j section Q* the .territory east of Lhej Mississippi and south of the Potomae except the Virginias, which is affected by the war time regulations, the com mittee late tonight issued the follow ing summary of its rulings: "The regulations apply alike to in dustries, stores and business houses actually burning coal, oil or other fuel in theirNplants and to those using' electri ? ? power whether hydro-electric or Storni. This question was givrii most serious consideration. The de cision was based, both upon the well known fact that most of the hydro electric utilities consume a certain amount of coal varying with the amount of water power avilable, and up6?n the conviction that to make any exception would involve inde fensible discrimination and endanger the whole plan of conservation, the execution of which is imperative for the safety of the country. In^lhis con nection it may be stated; thatSiydro electric power now is being diverted under direction of this committee firom various, points of production to distant communities where users are largely dependent upon steam pro duced electricity and, therefore, pow er Saved Ly the restrictions at points of ^production is saving coal else where. 4 Opf ration of laundries and clean ing plants is considered essential from the standpoint of public health; there fore the restrictions do not apply to smrh-es-fjablishnjehts.: * r "The committee was convinced ofj the necessity for extending the hours I of business' of grocery and meat j stores and milk depots and a modi-. bcation of the regulations was issu.'di permitting such places of business to { remain open until ?; p. m. daily ex>* cept Saturday, when their closing hours are 9 p. m. "Mi.ny merchants and others urged j that they be allowed to open before *"> ! rt. n- :?nd e-ose later than 1 p. m., on j condition that thoy used no light or J heat or used candle-: or kerosene j lamps.

(Programme Washington. Dec. 1.?Attorney Gen em 1 Palmer called upon the American people tonight to "refuse to b?5 stam peded by threats of lack of coal into concessions which will insure unrea- i sonably^high prices in all commodities i for at least throe years to come. The governments' attitude was. made clear by the attorney general in a reply to the chamber of commerce at Moberly, IVIo.. from which ha-J cone a request that another confer ence be called. Mr. Pa'lmer opposed further conferenees. sayings wage in crease proposed by Dr. Garfiel.l equalized average minors wages with, present high cost of living without in-, creasing the price of coal. This, he said, was fair to the miners and pro tected the public. ? The cost of living is now at the high point." Mr. Palmer said. "To grant the Remands of the miners would make the cost of living still i higher. The new wage conference j would run three winters and. there- j fore, would maintain a higher cost of living for substantially three years. Such a situation can not be tolerated. "In addition to this. Dr. Garfield suggested a consultative body to ^in vestigate more completely the whole j situation, to be composed of repro- ? sentatives in equal number of the I miners and operators and to . be pre-1 sided over by the secretary of the in terior. Such a body would investigate, among other things, the profits v>f the operators. If these should be found to be unreasonably high* the public should receive the benefit in a de crease in the price of coal, after the miners have had their wages' filially adjusted on a fair basis/ I understand this plan is acceptable to the oper ators. If the miners return to work and agree to this plan a way would be immediately open for permanent settlement. "In the mean time, however, the operators have posted the advance in wages proposed by Dr. Garfield. so that working miners wfll immediately j receive the benefit of this increase, j The production of coal now el?selyi approximates 50 per cent, of noi>?ial and I have confidence that a suffi cient number of miners will comply with the wishes of their government and respond to the needs of the.peo ple to increase this production in the near future to a point which will sup ply the demand, if economy and con servation in. industry are employed. Another plaa to reopen negotiations for a new wage scale between the miners and operators would be fu tile and would delay rather than ad vance production.-. As long 'as - the leaders of the miners organization be lieve that .their -unlawful strike1.will j force the public into a condition of; suffering and loss-'which will compel [ further . increases of Wages, "continued < conference on the.V?bject- will only] result in influencing - miners > not?to' j return to work. . ? j "The situation calls for the stead fast support by the public of the gov ernment's position as . announced by Dr. Garleld. The public should re fuse to be stampeded by threats of lack of fuel into concessions which will insure unreasonably high prices in all commodities for at least three j years to come." 4 , ( OF INTEREST TO FARMERS j Edited by T. M. Cathcart "With the coming of frost the boll weevil has gone into winter quarters. He will hide under, brush, grass, cot ton stacks, in cotton bolls that are partly cracked, in fence corners and in edges of woods near the cotton i fields. Knowing that he has these j habits, what should we do? Are we going to sit idle and let him sleep in peace this winter? This is a ques tion that every farmer will have to decide for himself. All cotton land j should be broken up With two horse! plows as soon as possible and all stalk? covered up. This will kill i thousands that probably would thrive i through the winter and be ready for work early next spring. All/ ditch banks and terraces, straw 'fields, etc.. should be burned off thus killing many weevils. All fence rows should be cleaned off as this is another hid ing- place for them. "When the weather begins, to warm up in early spring the weevil will' leave their winter quarters. fly straight up in the air and which ever way the wind is blowing is the way he goes. He flies until tired, then de scends, and if he lights in a cotton field there he stays. If he lights in ; fields other than cotton he rests, and j continues-this until a cotton field is found. As soon ;is the squares begin j to form the females begin deposit- ;, ing eggs in them. Usually only one egg is placed in each square. The weevil punctures the square, lays the egg. an?T then seals the puncture up. Each female weevil is capable of lay ing twelve eggs per day. The pro irony from one pair of weevils in a sen son is something over thre<? mil lion. If the seasons are favorable it usually takes only about two weeks for the eggs to hatch out into the adult weevil. The ogg first hatches out into a small grub, which eats the contents of the square. This j white, grub < which is the larva stag^J changes into the pupa stage, in tie pupa stage it doesn't take in any' food. ; In the pupa stage they are yellowish | in color, and have wings and legs. ; They next chunge into the adult wee- \ vi! and work their way out of the squares. Now lets *'?<? how we are g?*?ing t?> control the weevil so that we can raise i some cotton. First we must combat him in ihe fall of the year by de stroying his winter quarters. Then we must plant only six to eight acres per plow, and plant as early in j March as possible. Plant cotton up- i on beds so that it will grow off faster. 1'se heavy applications of fertilizer, being careful to have your nitrogen i in readily available form, such ms j nitrate of sod;i or sulphate of ammo-j nia.. Apply this-when. y<8u ^Uvm-^rP'^i cotion so as to get a quick growtnV' ?l*o make beav-y -a^>p^fea4fe'-of->ae?<l'' phosphate, so as -to make,fruit jna~ ture('early. The amount" of fertilizer to use witt depend upon your Iatra*. If your land makes a good -stiaSt With out muoh"ni4>ogen. yo.u "wolridnVt use , as much as you. would on land that requires nitrogen in large quantities to make the stalk. Chop out as soon as possible, then cultivate every week to ten days. By cultivating every week to ten. days you cover the punc tured squares with dirt,- and the wee vils die. The old .adult weevils should 1 be picked off ^vhen they first appear I in the spring.- Bo this e.yery \$eek; I Also pick up any punctured squares! that you may find and burn them. The Boh weevil is hard to poison j due to the fact that he eats the in- ; .side of the squares, and there's- no j way of getting the poison -on the in- t side -of the squares. There' is ouly j one way left for us to poison h?c:,j and that is to poison the water -that ? he drinks. This water is the dew; drops. Calcium; arsenate .has bean I tried out in several experiments and -has given fair results. The poisoning j of the boll weevil is stril in the -ex- | perimental stage but I feel sure* that J by next spring powder guns that ^*ill j meet all requirements will have, be^nl perfected and manufactured ih such j numbers that farmers can secure,' them at reasonable prices. These; I guns will probably cost from $ 15.00 to ?25.00. Calcium arsenate is seH- [ ing for about thirty cents per pound, j It .requires about five pounds to go I over an acre, and four or five appli- j [ cations are required during the sea- | son.- The poisbn powder is blown J over thv cotton plants late in the af- j ternoon. and . is dissolved in the dew. i The weevils drink this dew in the;: morning, thus killing them. This will ! not kill all of the weevils though.! There will be plenty left-to do consid- j erable damage, bur it Will reduce tht?-m enough so' that a fair crop -of cotton | ?can be made. I 'Plant just the amount of cotton ?next year that you can afford to loose, for it will take one year to convince some and for the others 'to learn hew to'handle the :'aew visitor. Livestock means success in spite of the bolf weevfl. To succeed in boll -weevil territory we must have cattle, hogs, and -poultry, and grow ;corn, oats, cowpeas, velvet beans, potatoes, peanuts, etc., for market. s If on> crop falls we will' lra-ve an other to depetifi upon, but if we grow octtoh alone and the boll weevil takes it, our entire work is gone. Livestock maans the bailding up of the soil, and as the" soil- improves, profits increase. ? ? Livestock will keep the boys and ghds on the farms. A man. will ptit ?p better buildings if.he lives -?iv his ?farm- than he will, if it is occupied- by ? tetiant. livestock iueana "ntise. what you feed- and feed what you ?raise on your, own farm." . "When you grow your crop's and.ship them away you are shipping the ? fertility from the-soil.

Pastures are essen pt? to-profitable livestock production. The farmer who has good pastures goon learr>s that they have <>aved from pO1 to 75 per cent of the high priced grains. Steers, sheep, hogs and all young ?nimals make the. cheapest and most econimical growth during the pasture] season; the longer the pasture season j the cheaper animals can be produced, j "When a steer is fattened during the j winter months on dry f?ed it costs from eight to twelve cents to put on ??"H?h pound of fat; these same gains can be made during the pasture sea son at a cost of not more than three or four cents a pound. This shows the value of good pastures and hav ing, them extend ?-?ver as many months | of the years as possible, as the animals ,all make their cheaper gains during the pasture .season and their expen sive gains' during the dry hot non-pas ture season. Early to fence, early to permanent pastures and early to stock, makes our farming as solid as a rock. . J>ecride how much fencing-yru need, i and see your County Aigent for pHceS, j Fence in good .pastures this winter for. the boll weevil can't eat livestock, and good pastures menu more and better livestock. -.
