BOLL WEEVIL DRIVE
PLANNED BY NORRIS
WEEK OF DEC. 11-16
CO-OPERATION OF BUSINESS
MEN NEEDED TO MAKE
IT A SUCCESS
If the business men of Norman will
lend their cooperation, an extensive
campaign will he launched in this
county against the boll weevil dur-
ing boll weevil destruction week, De-
cember 11 to 16, County agent P. K.
Norris said today.
The week has been set aside by
rient of the state board of agriculture,
Governor Robertson upon recommen-
dation of J. A. Whitehurst, presi-
and J ,F. Owens, president of the
state chamber of commerce, in an
effort to exterminate the pest* be-
fore spring hatching.
Norris will ask that a commitee be
appointed by local business men to
assist in arranging for public meet-
ings at all school houses. Plans of
the winter clean-up method of wee-
vil control would be \ discussed at
each meeting.
Destroy Waste Matter
"Destruction of all waste matter
011 the farm, including the burning
of brush grass, and straw, will be
the aim of the campaign," the county
agent said. "In this way the farm-
ers may prevent breeding and can
kill the dormant weevils which will
hatch out next spring's crop of the
tion is destroyed our next year's crop
pests.
"!f the weevil's placc of hibcrna-
tvill not be endangered as it is the di-
rect descendant of the weevil that
hatches from the winter eggs that
destroy the cotton squares in the
spring."
Weevils Multiply Rapidly
Boll Weevils multiply rapidly and
at the age of three or four days are
Once started in a crop it is difficult
vigorous enough to cut squares,
to check their spread even with the
use of calcium arsenic spray which
is much more expensive than the win-
operation of ail farmers and not
ter method of extermination.
Norris said lie would ask the co-
; rely'those who grow cotton. He
declared fresh outbreaks of the boll
weevil when often thought under con-
trol, had been traced to farmers who
failed to clean up their • fields be-
cause they did not grow cotton.
FINAL GOODBY SAID
BY SOME STUDENTS
Failures Are Asked Not to Return
After Holidays by Dean
of University
Most of the University students
who left Norman Wednesday ex- ;
pect to be away only temporarily,
but a few there were who said good-
by to the campus and school friends
for the last time, according to
George F.. Wadsack, University
registrar.
"They were the boys and girls
who failed to heed President
Brooks' warning, issued early this
year, that the 'back to the farm'
movement would be certain to get
some of them. They neglected their
work a little too long," he said.
These students were called before
Dean J. S. Buchanan and told the
verdict. Letters also were written
to their parents, suggesting that af-
ter their offspring arrived home for
the Thanksgiving holidays, no ef-
fort need be made to see that he
returns.
"Thirty years' experience con-
vinces me the boy will make a bet-
ter farmer than
A Thanksgiving Prayer
O Clod above, we humbly pra\
| o thee this Klacl Thanksgiving Day,
The time that has been set apart
To speak from overflowing heart
Of thy Krcat love.
\Ve thank Thee for Thy watchful care
O'er us, Thy children, everywhere:
For health, for food, and needs supplied—
All lias heett given, naught denied
From Thy irreat store.
Xor would we scorn our grief and patn.
For as the sunshine follows rain,
So joy with sorrow ever goes
\nd even the most lovely rost
Must have its thorn
Keep us from sin: we would not hav<
Sin kept from us. though we are weak
Hut ask Thee for the strength to rise
Above, to where a nobler prizi
Is ours to win.
Help us, that when at last we know
Our work is finished here below
Wc then may go prepared to he
Forever in eternity
With thee. Amen

CHICKEN MORE POPULAR AS
500 OF THOSE SOLD
IN NORMAN
| Fewer Norman folks than one
would imagine are enjoying turkey
here today, according to estimate-
i of produce dealers on the number of
i choice birds gold here this week. |
' More of them prefer chicken, and
i still greater number will have
ro.'M pork, beef or some other
choice of meat.
Judging by the number of birds
handled locally by produce houses
iikI grocery stores, about 2<)0 tur- 1
j keys will be eaten here today, a-
against about 500 chickens.
j A few thicks, wild geese and ;
1 poultry of other kinds will complete j
I the menus.
1 Considerable difference in price'
. between turkeys and chickens is |
given as one good reason the for-
. mer is not so popular.

In addition to mailing early,
Floyd Swank, postmaster, makes
the following suggestions:
Be sure parcels are securely,
wrapped and tied.
Address parcels plainly with pen
and ink, and include name and ad-
dress of sender. A parcel to be in-
Shawnec ■ sured must comply with this rule.
) Mail your parcels in the morning.
Merchants usually monopolize the
postoffice windows in the afternoon.
Many disappointments occur ev-
ery Christmas through carelessness
of the sender along some one or
more of these lines. Thousands
of parcels annually never reach the
person addressed.

VACCINATION LAW
URGED BY ELLISON
In the north and cast, where vac-
cination is compelled by the state,
no small pox epidemics occur, ac-
cording to Dr. Gayfree Kllison.
Not until every state enforces
vaccination, will small pox be elim-
inated, he believes. He favors adop-
tion of such a law for Oklahoma.

RELIGIOUS SERVICE
PREDOMINATES HERE
• Nonran's principal observance of
Thanksgiving day centers around
the 11 o'clock union church service
at the First Christian church, spec-
ial services at St. Joseph's and thc
Christian Science church, and fam-
ily dinners.
Banks, postoffice and most busi-
ness houses will be closed all day,
and such stores as open this morn-
ing to accomodate housewives who
need something extra for dinner,
will close before noon.
Theaters will offer the only
amusements. In a city where ath-
letic events predominate, nothing is
scheduled due to the i ne of health
authorities to prevent further spread
of disease.
