So painter til ' Some, Section r Some Year to Come. r Alfred Bheppron;.dlecuase boll weevil. In his ;book. Cotton eta, jost issued. He concludes his fcr at follows; '- " In a circular written by Mr. W. D. 'unter, the agent of the United States apartment -of Agriculture- In charge t the Cotton' Boll Weevil Inveetlaa ona, wat published on October loth, 04, , by. the Secretary of Agriculture. ,t is earnestly recommended that the cotton plants .In all fields Infested with the boll weevil should be plowed up; and burned early in October or whenever the weevils are so numerous that there Is no prospect of any more cotton -being made, fnds destroying nearly al of tne weevils In their sever al stages Of growth. It la evident that this -course would prevent the escape , to hibernating quarters of the great majority of the weevils, with the re- suit at a much reduced attacking force of them. In the next spring. The De oartment has also recommended that , in-aH 'weevil infected sections, farmers ' should plant early with seed of early - maturing varieties of cotton ana cul tivate most thorougnly as the best . .means of inducing rapid and vigorous s growth and development. The use of j fertilisers Is also recommended to stim ulate aulck growth. 1 1 '"On two experimental farms In Tex " as of the Department of Agriculture ' , k has beer clearly shown that ty pro 1 Br methods of cultivation most sat- , J isfactory yields of cottow can bo made - despite the boll weevil. , - 'i do not share the belief expressed some of the governmental officials ' that It is merely a question. or a com 1 Daratlvely few years when the boll ' weevil will be found in every cotton crowing State. This Is a country of " .'magnificent distance,' of broad rivers , and extensive forests ana the Don ja weevil travels slowly. I prefer to In , dulge the hope that some enterprising citizen of an Investigating turn of mind will soon discover a practical method of exterminating the weevils and thus win the reward of $50,000 offered by the State of Texas. ... , ' ib Mexican boll weevil has exlst- Sd In Cuba for many years, subsisting ' onfthe small quantity of cotton which , t grows wild there, and it will doubtless .appear in Porto Rico, Barbados and " ether West Jndlan Islands In which ' the cultivation of cotton Is attempted. f I am Indebted to the courtesy of Professor L. O. Howard, chief of the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture, for the illustrations showing the several t' stages of growth of the boll weevil and for various circulars and bulletins issued by the bureau In regard to the pest (Signed) .

About five months before the birth of my first" child I was taken with some blod trouble, which the doctora said was dropsical In its nature. My some blood trouble, which the doctora nounced it dropsy, and said my blood had turned almost absolutely to water. My whole body was rear- fully swollen, and when I would press upon it tha dent would remain, as is so well known in dropsy.' The doctors' treatment did not do one particle of good, and at the birth of my child I had convulsions and was critically ill, and for weeks I was very low. When I got up I was In a fearfully weak condition and still suffered from that dropsical trouble This remained my condition until a few months before the birth of my second child. I then determined to quit doctors' treatment, and bought one dozen bottles of Mrs. Joe Per sons Remedy and took It. ,.T3y the time I finished the doxen bottles, every Indication of , that dropsical trouble had disappeared, and my health was good. At the birth of my second child my condition was nat ural, and I was soon up and well, and my health has remained so ever since. Before the birth of my third child, I again took a dozen bottles, and I never had a touch of that dropsical affection, and had as healthy, natural outcome as was pos sible. I do not believe that there Is another medicine In the world Its equal, and no one need hesitate to try Itonly take enough to counter act the acid In the . blood and It will cure. It Is a grand medicine. MRS. MART H. MAYHEW.
