The farmers wish to extend their thanks to Mr. Means, owner of the Star Theatre, for making it possible for them to see this film by allowing the use of the theatre free of charge. The treatment of potion with cal cium arsenate, for control of the 801 l Weevil, has the approval of the National and State Agricultural au thorities. and is the only successful method known and generally' approv ed.
