BOLL WEEVILS NUW IN ARKANSAS
Director of Experimental Station
Thinks the Pest Has In
vaded This State
In answer to an inquiry by the
Gazette, \V. G. Vineenheller, di
rector of the Arkansas Agricultur
al Experimental Station at Fay
etteville, writes that there is no
question in his mind but that the
boll weevil has already made its
appearance in Arkansas and that
unless precautions are taken by
the farmers it will spread to a lar
ger territory next year. Mr.
Vineenheller has been in commun
ication with Dr. \V. I). Hunter,
who is in charge of the govern
ment entomologist work in Texas
and Louisiana, and Dr. Hunter
states that already the weevil has
made its appearance in Miller,
Lafayette and Columbia counties.
According to the report from Mr.
Hunter the weevil has been found
not more than twelve or fifteen
miles north of the Louisiana state
line in Columbia county, but he

; believes it will spread farther
north and will migrate eastward
just as it has done in Louisiana.
Mr. Yincenheller says; “The
boll weevil is undoubtedly in Ar
kansas. It has been found in Mil
ler county as far north as Kouke,
about 20 miles above the Louisiana
line, and from that point the limit
of infestation extends in a more or
less easterly direction through La
; fayette and Columbia counties. In
the latter county it has not extend
i ed more than twelve miles across
the Louisiana line. This infor
mation comes from Dr. W. 1).
Hunter, in charge of cotton boll
weevil investigations. There is a
strong probability that the infest
ed territory will be increased con
\ siderably by December.”

FOR EVERYBODY
There is only one way to make a success in the mercantile business today. The time has gone
by when sharp practice and dickering will succeed. The people today know which side of their
bread is buttered, and competition is so sharp that the merchant who seeks to take advantage of
his customers may as well prepare to go out of business, it requires a great deal of study to keep
the right kind of a store; one must know all kinds of goods, and this knowledge does not come ex
cept from experience. We employ only the best help--those who know their business and what our
trade requires. Every article we offer for sale has passed the most rigorous tests and we guaran
tee everything we sell to be the very best of its kind.
