lr. Blalock was discussing the im-
yortance of using standardized seed,
C earefully selected variety and suit

After discussing the Importance of
reeding in stock and seed, Mr. BlS'
tack gave it is his personal exper

the cotton growers should abandon
staple cotton and standarize on var
ieties of a uniform staple of a heavy

He suggested tho Mext-

told of having asked some English

those farmers who were not, stamped

mixture, early may save money on
their fight with the weevil this sea
son," declared Franklin snerman,
Chief of the Division of Entomology
for the State College and Department
of Agriculture, in a statement issued
on the boll weevil situation in the
State at present.. ,
"W have just passed through a
period when boll weevil have been
scarce due to the over-wintering ones
having died off." Mr. Sherman con
tinued. "Now, however, their prog
eny 'are appearing in the fields and
we 'may expect them to become in-
creaslngly abundant from now on.
Thla lull in weevil a.'lvlty oo
curred earlier and ii pro- -bly now
over in the southern and east a
counties of the State. They are s..U
scarce in the northern and western
part of the State, however. Our e
aminatloni ahow the increase in In-
testation to be well under way in the
southeast but nearly at a standstill
In the piedmont. In Cleveland county
on July 24 we could And very few
weevils but we did find that the new
generation are hatching from the
squares and will soon be on hand.'
Mr. Sherman stated that in general
the Infestation Is very spotted and ir
regular some fields, he said, showing
from 8 to 20 per cent of the squares
infested and others showing hardly
any Infestation at all. The oncoming
generation of weevils is expected to
greatly Increase this infestation, ha
said he thinks, in all counties where
cotton is grown.
It seems probable, however, that
many fields will reach the dusting
point by August 1. This may mean
a shorter dusting season with per
haps fewer applications neoessary,
than in 1922.- But let It be clearly
understood thta the time to begin de
pends for each field on the degree of
Its infestation. Our field workers ana
the county agents hare done excel
lent in saving the farmers from mak
ing needless and wasteful applications
when there was no certainty that
these would return a Droflt
While it may be that some fields '
will go through the entire season
without needing the dust poison ap
plications, yet others will, and the
critical time or dusting point is be
ing reached In the east and south
and Is near at hand in the southern
piedmont.
"The grower who merely depends
on what he 'hears,' cannot know just
hen to begin dusting. Get the of
ficial publications and study them.
Our circular 137 explains how to
know when it is time to dust and
says: 'We know of no substitute for
intelligent cafe and proper study -la
meeting the boll weevil problem. The
farmer needs to know the degree to
which his field is infested, he seeds
to watch the increase In infestation
from the oncoming generation, and
then, by the help of his study or by
advice of his county agent or our
field workers, he will know When and
how to dust so as to get-a genuine
profit from It."

Johnson Wins Minnesota Senate Seat
Here's an up-to-date portrait "of
United States Senator-elect Magnus
Johnson of Minnesota, who was suc
cessful In the special election to fill
the unexpired term'of the late Senator
Knute Nelson. Johnson la a Farmer
Laberlte and a follower of LaFollete.
He bad a plurality of about 80,000
over Governor J. A. O. Preus, Repub
lican, and James A. Carley, Democrat.
His calleague Is Dr. Henrik Shlpstead,
a dentist and also a Farmer-Laborlte,
who defeated Senator Frank B. Kel
logg last fall.
Johnson's victory apparently
clinches the grip of the LaFoIIette
bloc on the balance of power In the
senate. The Republican, margin In the
senate Is reduced to six. The political '
line-up when congress reconvenes In
December will be: . Republicans, til;
Democrats, 43; Farmer-Labor, 2. With
the aid of the two Farmer-Labor
votes. La Follette and hia lieutenants.
Senator Norris (Rep., Ia) and others ot ies radical tendencies, will , have
constant command of the balance of power. ,:S,V"
Magnus Johnson Is fifty-two years old. Hewas born In Sweden and was
a glass blower In his youth, but tdok up dairy farming when he earn to
America. He early manifested an interest in agrarian politics and became
locally noted for his stentorian voice. He waa the Fanner-Labor candidate
for governor in 1920, against Governor Preus. He la married and during hia
campaign bis wife and children ran the farm of 140 acres at Kimball. .
