He did not use poison, but picked as many of the squares aa possible. He says that the fnxmoKa nt T onunater rniinttf are di- vided this year as to whether, they will use poison. Good old Happy Hiram Trull came from Tom Dillon. . Mr. Trull is an old time fiddler but he has lost his hear ing somewhat and has decided that when he plays to amuse himself he must have an instrument that makes lmifW noise-music. When young he learned the "mouth organ" along with fiddling and so he is going to take it up again. Twelve months ago he fell and crippled himself and is now just -able to get about with pis cane and he has to put in a lot of time amusing himself. :, (. :- Mr. G.

After covering 629 miles they reached home in safety without any car trouble1, whatsoever.- v ;.

Various v. f Me family-having at dif ferent times invited him. to ride and eA. one of them said to him some time ago jokinely, "well, you may as well ride in one, for when you die they will certainly carry you to the cemetery in one." This probably had nothing to do with his decision to ride Wednesday, but, at any rate Uncle Alfred has prevented them from taking snap judgment on him later on. . J . ' ' .'' - .

He saya that he is convinc ed mat the weevil is conquered if the fight upon him is properly made. Mr. Clyburn uaid, "You've got xo get tne iumn on ' the weevil' or he will get the iumo on you." .; On the Coker farms they are now putting on the fourth application of molasses ,'and calcium arsenate. They use a pump mounted upon a small wagon taking two rows at a time. Their fields are very large and the rows srtaight. But they say it makes no difference how you get the mola l.es and arsenic out Just bo you get it on the plant. This remedy is especially erricacious in dry weather, for the weevil seeks the moisture aorded by the mixture, in wet weather it is not so good because .the insect Eets moisture elsewhere. Later in the season when the stalk is very bushy they use the dust. But tnro Rt nnea as soon as weevils are discovered.
