Washington, April 6.—A
startling increase over last
year in number of boll weevils
which survived winter hiberna-
tion was indicated in a report
announced Thursday by the
department of agriculture
based on examinations of
Spanish moss in the states of
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina and Texas.
The findings, based on the
number of weevils per ton of
moss, recorded 65.9 as the
Louisiana state average, com-
pared with 15.7 for last year,
43.0 in 1926 and 6.0 in 1927.
In South Carolina 21.1 were
found, compared with nine last
year.
Southern Louisiana showed
365.1 per ton in 1928, com-
pared with 70.0 last year,
while the northern part of the
state had 1.0 compared with
4.04 last year.
Comparative figures are not
available for the entire cot-
ton belt, as expectations were
made last year in Louisiana
and South Carolina only.
In Alabama 45.2 were
found in each ton of moss ex-
amined; in Texas 74.5 and in
Georgia 88.7, 1926 figures
showed 2.0 in Georgia.
All expectations, with the
exception of those in Texas,
were made from February 21
to March 10. Those in Texas
were made January 14, 15 and
20 and February 24.

of the Timpson Methodist
church, Rev. C. Pugsley, will
preach the first sermon, on

The purpose of this article
at this time is to acquaint the
people of Timpson with the
nature of the District Confer-
ence that they may co-operate
with the entertainment com-
mittee as they visit you this
coming week.
For convenience our little
city has been divided into four
sections. Using the point
where the highway crosses the
railroad as the center, Section
No. 1 is east of that street, and
north of the railroad, the
soliciting committee being
Mrs. Thomas Hairston and
Mrs. W. E. Neal, Section No.
2 is east of that street and
south of the railroad, and the
soliciting committee is Mrs. G-

Espy and Mrs. A. F. Bryan.
Section No. 4 is north of the
railroad but west of that street,
and the soliciting committee
is Mrs. Jim Taylor and Mrs. F.

Perhaps one half of the 104
delegates will be ’adies, so the
several solicit; :g committees
are asking if you will care for
men or ladies. Please be pre-
pared to assist them when
they call on you.
I am printing a list of the
preachers of the district, so if
anyone hBS a choice of preach-
ers, please let the committee
know when they call on you.
Your delegate will likely ar-
rive Monday afternoon, and re-
main until Wednesday after
dinner. It is possible that
some can ‘sleep’ one or more
delegates, but don’t Teed’
them; while others can ‘feed’
delegates, but cannot ‘sleep’
them. Thanks, you can help
us either way. Just let the
committee know what you can
do. The preachers who will
be here are as follows: Ed J-
Harris, W. A. Thomas, C. W.
McPhail, John F. Kidd, J. T.

On behalf of the Missionary

Timpson extend that same
royal hospitality which they
have always shown.
