>- For years the experts of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture have
been seeking a dependable and pro
fitable way for the farmer to poison
the boll weevil. After innumerable *
experiments and demonstrations,
the Government announced the dis
covery of a method of poisoning with
calcium arsenate, which, if properly
done, will control the weevil and
make cotton growing profitable in
badly infested sections.
The Government work has been
carried on in the far South where
the weevil first appeared and where
the infestation is worst. But the
weevil is in North Carolina now, and
our farmers can save their cotton if
they use the knowledge gained in
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
Like everyone else whose pros
perity is wrapped up in the growing
of profitable crops, we are most anx
ious that Carolina farmers should
be shown this'Government method
of poisoning before the weevil de
stroys our cotton.

Ml SPEECH IN INDEPENDENCE HALL, PHILADEPHIA FA., * " If
M February 22, 1861. . > - M
Mil Mr. CUYLER: I am filled with deep
emotion at finding myself standing
m) in this place, where were collected to
rn gether the wisdom, the patriotism, '
nil the devotion to principle, from which
sprang the institutions under which
we live*
IMI You have kindly suggested to. me
that in my hands is the task of restor
ffl ing peace to our distracted country,
raj I can say in return, sir, that all the
political sentiments I entertain have
Ml been drawn, so far as I have been
18P able to draw them, from the senti
. ments which originated in and were
|y| given to the world from thig hall. I
jglJ have never had a feeling, politically,
that did not spring from the senti
ftil ments embodied in the Declaraton of
Izg Independence .
mi I havg often pondered over the dan- •
gers which were incurred by the men
who assembled here and framed and
nji adopted that Declaration. I have pon
tjjjjj dered over the toils that were endured
by the officers and soldiers of the
army who achieved that independence.
Ml I have often inquired of myself
3® what great principle or idea it was
M that kept this Confederacy so long
JHJj together. It was not the mere mat
ssk ter of separaton of the colonies from
Ml the motherland, but that sentiment
M|J in the Declaration of Independence
which gave liberty not alone to the
Mi j " people of this country, but hope to
IMj all the world, for all future time.

To help give the farmers first
hand knowledge of the Government
method of poisoning the weevil, we
have employed one of the most
experienced field demonstrators
attached to the Government Labora
tory at Tallulah, La., in which this
Ynethod of poisoning was discovered.
He will devote his whole time to
demonstration work in North Caro
lina, and will conduct his work in
conjunction with the county agents
This expert, Mr. J. O. Taylor
will demonstrate this method in 12
or 15 infested counties of North
Carolina. 4
Mr. Taylor’s services are offered
as a lecturer on poisoning at any
v farmers meeting in any part of the
State, at no*expense. He will, in ad
dition, gladly advise any farmer who
wishes to poison his own crop this
season. All requests for his services
, should be made to the Farm Service
Department, F. S. Royster Guano
Company.
It was that which gave promise Si
that m due time the weights would jli
be luted from the shoulders of all (ft!
men, and that all should have an '
equal chance. This is the sentiment
emboded in the Declaration of Inde- ((ft
pendence. lift
Now, my friends, can this country
be saved on that basis? If it can, I t(u
will consider myself one of the hap- ffif
piest men in the world if I can help ■, M
to save it. If it cannot be saved upon lul
that principle, it will be truly awful. !w
But if this country cannot be saved S
without giving up that principle, I ft
was about to say I would rather be 'ft)
assassinated on this spot than sur- $ •
render it. ju *
Now, in view of the present aspect 'K *
°C * ffairs ’ there is no need of blood- $ ,
shed and war. There is no necessity jft !
for it. I am not in favor of such a \
course; and I may say in advance
that . there will be no bloodshed un
, it is forced upon the government. w
ihe government will not use force, M
unless force is used against it. Ijf
My frends, this is wholly an unpre
pared speech. I did not expect to be fa
called on to say a word when' I came Ki
here. I supposed I was merely to do
something toward raising a flag. I ,/a.
may, therefore have said something !K4
indiscreet. (Cries of “No, no.”) But M
* hdve said nothing but what I am
willing to live by, and, if it be the iKf;
pleasure of the mighty God, to die M
