' m ; |%liy ANNOUNCE METHOD FOR BOLL WEEVIL CONTROl I. - I- Gainsville, Fla., Nov.11. ?Devel opment of a satisfactory method o t controlling the boll weevil on shor staple, or upland cotton 'was an nounced here tonight by Dr. Wilsoi Newell, plant commissioner for th state plant board and director of thi e University of Flordia experimen h I station. (i I Dr. NcveH's announcement wa: . made as the result of the succcssfu - culmination of research work b; e George D. Smith, associate entomol ogist, conducted under the auspice: , of the State Plant hoard. > The method involves a principle it boll weevil control therefore noi recognized by other investigators Dr. Newell stated and he added thai the total cost of treatment, labor in ' eluded, does no exceed $1.50 or $2.01 1 an acre. r In the fields treated, the cottoi crop in nearly every instance ha 1 been as large as that obtained prioi to the advent of the weevil. f While some poison is used th< . amount is comparatively small, Dr Newell said. By means of the improved methor a cotton field is cleared of practic ?11? -11 U -11 11- ? any on lhjii weevus eariy in jun< and remains in that condition foi several weeks. During this perioc a good crop of bolls is set withoui j weevil interference. Both the state plant board and th? experiment station will issue immedv ^ ately bulletins on the improved meth Jd of control. "The boll weevil's weak point ha: ^ oeen found," declared Dr. Newell,' ind by this method of control t.h? ^ farmer will be able to hand him i ;olar plexus blow." cL.?.mc.nv.c.AU sails FOR AMERICAN TRIE 1 _ L Havre, France, Nov. 11.?A short stout, sharp eyed, brown-faced mar ->f 82 was the most noticed persor - on the steamship Paris which anilet f form here this afternoon for Nev , York. He was Georges Clcmenceau 2 France's wartime premier, on hi: * way to carry out a long cherishet dream?that of visiting the Unitei 1 States for the first time since l.i: ; youth and doing his utmost to brinj complete understanding and sympa '.hy between that country.and France Although the departure of th< L' 'Tiger" was unrecognized officially - w?. a : ?. .jy ciiiici niu r icntii ur tut' ninci itui governments, he is looked upon a ' one of the most important figure 1 wer to leave the shores of France 1 "What a wonderful old man hi is," was the universal comment o 1 those gathered at the pier. Beside his valet, Albert, he is accompanied 1 as characteristically remarked, onlj * by his hat and cane. ^ , J. W. CROWLEY SERIOUSLY HUR1 Mr. J. W.

TAFIA NTAIF .YCEUM ATI uintette of Musicians l COUNTY FAIR H/ ; BEST POULTR' t 1 The Tenth Annual Exhibition of e the Chesterfield County Fair is in e full blast this week, t Tuesday set the record for opening day, being children's day, and I the groundi were crowded practicy ally ail dav and way into the night. Though this Fuir has been stead-1 8 ily improving there is one respect in which it has far surpassed anything hoped for. That is in the poultry department. L If the Advertiser alone made the - assertion that there is not a better Rhode Island Red show in the United States than the one now on exhibition i at the Chesterfield County Fair r Grounds, the statement would be recieved with doubt and misgivings. i But here is the statement of Judge W. II. Card, of Manchester, Gonn., I secretary of the Rhode Island Red Club of America: "This show ranks with Boston, ? F " Mass., and with New York City. It j is better than Syracuse, N. Y., and I t doubt if there is another county in the United States tha* has-as many Reds that are as fine in color, shape and size." Judge Card is the highest authority in the United States on this breed and is expert on all breeds. , Mr. Fitzmaurice, of Columbia, a chicken fancier, who takes in all the 1 ' big shows in the United States, coroborated Judge Card in every particular. Chesterfield County exceeds in many things, but this is one respect ? in which, if proper comparison could be made she may lead the whole , United States. i The State branch of the Rhode > Island Red Club of America is meet1 ing at Chesterfield in association with , the Chesterfield County Poultry Association. Among those from out, side the county to exhibit here are s Maxwell, of Snartanburc: Fitzmanr 1 J HIDES SAVING IN GUN, r THEN SHOOTS RABBIT Oshkcsh, Wis., November 10.?Ilaving, H fear of banks, a farmer near / here hid his savings of a lifetime, i in $100 bills. Last week when a neighs bor was robbed the farmer hid his s fortune in the barrel of his shotgun. ' Yesterday he saw a rabbit outside e his door, grabbed the gun and fired, f He got the rabbit, but it cost him the s savings, which he had forgotten. . He remembered when he saw the y charred remains of the bills lying near the rabbit's body. GIN CLOSES FOR SEASON r The Chesterfield gin will pin during the week of Nov. 20 to 25th ins elusive.
