Mr. Mabee haw made a close study of ihc wee vil and plana far defeating him for several vears, and aa a result is prepared to furnish information ( that should be of interest to the I fanners of the Dunn district. Many of the farmers arc taking advantage of Mr. Mabec’s sugges tions. In fact, he has had so many calls for assisting the farmers in their fight against the cotton enemy that it was found necessary to send him a helper. Tn its efforts to get Mr. Mabee located in Dtnin, the Dunn Chamber of Commerce ren dered a great service to this sec tion of the State. His worth to the cotton-growers of the Dtrnn district cannot be figured in dollar* and cent*. The boll weevil will have lobe (ought from year to year, and what the farmers learn from Mr. Mabee will prove of great worth to tlu-m in future year*. Many who now do not agree with his plans for comhat ring the boil weevil will later see that he was right and follow out hi* suggestion*. While the weevil fight i* something new to the farmer* of this section jt is not new to Mr. Mabee, who ha* followed the wee ril as -he advanced northward.
