WANTS JOINT CAMPAIGN
Voter Says Candidates Should
Take the Stump.
Mr. Editor.—I heartily en
I dorse what The Journal said
last week concerning the joint
campaign among the candi-j
dates for office in Independ
ence county.
I certainly believe they
should come out in the open
and get on the “stump” and
tell us what they stand for., '
and how they propose to man
age the affairs of the county,'
or district, should he be elect
ed.
The present system of cam-1
paigning seems to be a kind of
sneaking way of telling the]
“dear people” why they should j
elect one man instead of the
other fellow.
The political interest of the
voting people today is dying
down, and half of the voters do
not know how many are ask
ing for the different offices of
the county, and when the time
comes to go to the polls and
vote we have to look the ticket
over to find someone to vote
for.
I think we should get back
to the good old fashioned doc
trine that the government de
rives its power from the people
and we certainly do think the
candidates should come out in
the open and tell the people
how they intend to manage the
county’s affairs should they be
elected. A VOTER.
MAKE HOGS SMILE WITH
SHADE AND WATER
Good Water and Protection
From Heat Very Essential
in Raising Hogs
Dust, extremely hot sunshine,
and filthy wallows, are some
oi the hazards that help to in
crease the summer losses of
hogs, according to T. Roy Ried,
live stock specialist of Arkan
sas.
Protect the hog from the hot
sun of the summer, provide a
wallow but keep a supply of
clean water accessible a, all
times and keep the dust down
in the beds, Mr. Reid advises.
Do these things and the sum
mer keeping of hogs will be
less hazardous.
If natural shade is available
it should be used, but if not,
a shade made of poles covered
with brush will furnish cool
place for the hogs. A good
plank or concrete wallow will
prove to be a good investment
to the man who is keeping
hogs as a permanent part of his
farm operations. Troughs built
so that hogs cannot wallow .in
them and kept filled with clean
water help to keep the hogs
healthy.
Plans for constructing ser
viceable shades, wallows and
hog troughs which have been
*
prepared by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture will be
sent free from the Extension
Office in Little Rock to those
who request them.

Boll Weevil
CULTIVATION GOOD WAY TO
FIGHT THE BOLL WEEVIL
-NOW IS THE TIME!
We have given the boll wee
vil considerable thought and
attention. Only a few days
ago, we were in Oklahoma and
talked to people that had real
experience with the weevil.
We were told there that the
first year they had boll weevil
there, they had only a few, like
we had here last year. The
next year the weevil practi
cally ruined them. In one town
in particular, they had 8,000
bales of cotton the year the
weevil was light, and the next
year they had only 1,000 bales.
This convinces us that the wee
vil is very dangerous for us this
year. As far north as we are,
we believe that with a deter
mined and united effort on the
part of every body, we can
eventually stamp out the boll
weevil in this county.
We have inquired as to the
best way to fight the weevil,
and we find that the best w'a.y
out of it is as follows:
The boll weevil, like a house
fly, multiplies very rapidly
Every weevil that you kill early
saves many litters before fall
comes. When the w’eevil
stings a cotton square, it depos
its eggs in the square. If these
eggs are not destroyed it is only
a few days until there are lot.'
of newr weevils that come frorr
each square. When this square
is stung by the weevil, it wil
either fall off or die on the
stalk. In order to get rid ol
I these squares that have the
eggs in them, the best way is
i to go through your cotton every
three or four days and gather
I the squares off the ground and
pull the dead ones from the
stalks and burn them. You can
use a bucket to put them in un
til you get enough in a bunch to
burn. One hand can pick up
from two to four acres a day.
By doing this job right, you
will keep the eggs from hatch-!
ing in a very great number.
This picking of the squares
is to destroy the egg more than
anything else.
Now, as how to handle the
weevil that is already hatched!
The weevil is very much like a
potato bug or an opossum.
When you shake the stalk the
least bit, this weevil will sull
and fall off. Therefore you
have a lot more weevil than you
think you have. You do not
see many of them because they
fall off and once they hit the
ground you can not find them.'
One of the best ways to hold
, the weevil back is to use most
anything you can to brush the
stalk while plowing. Put a!
gunny sack on the arch of your'
cultivator and let it drag over
the top of the stalk. Use an
extra long single tree that will
i brush the stalk. If you use
this, put some old sacks around
the end, so that you will not
bruise the cotton. Hang some
old rope on your hames and
let them dangle among the
limbs of the cotton. These
things will cause the weevil
to turn loose and fall off. Then
you will cover him up as you
plow. The weevil cannot make
any headway if you can keep
him knocked off and keep cov
ering him up with dirt. Keep
up this plowing every three
days, and keep the squares
burned as they dry or fall off,
and you will make cotton. You
need not plow deep, just use
a big sweep and one furrow
to a row will do the work. The
main idea is to plow often, not
later than every three or four
days—keep it up. In Jeffer
son county last year one man
that did this made three quar
ters of a bale to the acre, while
the man right next to him that
did not try to fight the weevil
made nothing. The boll wee
vil cannot stand dust or dirt.
A strip along the road where
dust from cars and wagons
keep the cotton covered will
make good cotton while fur
ther out in the same patch
there will be nothing made.
This shows that they do not
like the dust.
You hear some talk of spray
ing. Spraying is good, but ex
pensive and we think should be
used as a last resort.
If this country gets where it
cannot raise cotton, we would
like to know what is going to
become of us. This is a seri
ous situation, and let us all pull
together.
