stand this law they will uphold it. 1t
might be amended in one or two features
so as not TO materially cripple it. For in
stance, aliens might be allowed to purchase,
own and hold small quantities of land suit
able for manufacturing sites, on which to
establish and operate manufactures. etc
But they are not by this law prohibited
from investing their money in other Sc
curltieS III Texas except real estate, as
many claim.
Certainly, the great state of Texas, with
her broad extent of territory, diversity of
climate and varied resources is not so de-
pendent for her success and prosperity as
state as to have TO depend on nortgaging
her bonds to foreign syndicates and cor
poratiOnS for their money in order TO sur
vive. If this is the case, il is a sad calamity
on Texas and the United States. and we
had better quit advertising to the world
what a wonderful country we have, and
dissolve our state government ana reorgan-
ize and try again on a different basis.
1t seems very strange that people will
ClamOr for and demand the enactment of
law in their representative and collective
capacity and the press of the country will
agitate question until the legislature sue
cumbs to their demand and passes the law,
and then before it is generally known and
understood turn in, condemn it and ask for
its repeal before its effects are known.
But such seems to be the case in refer
enCe to the alien law if the representatives
of corporations are to be believed. Every
failure of every bank and every merchant
in the state is now attributable to this poor
little alien land law even before it takes
effect l wonder ii the failure of the noto-
rious keystone bank the banks in Kan
sas and Oklahoma and all the merchants in
the United States are not caused by the
Texas alien land lawl If not it is almost
miracle.
The truth is the great bulk of the people,
the farmers and laborerS of Texas, are not
oojecting to it, but only the moueyed specu-
lators. l am not only an advocate of the
principles OF the present alien land law, but
| believe that our Legislature should have
gone further and prohibited corporations of
all kinds, whether home or foreign, from
owning or acquiring large bodies of land as
Is now the case in many portions of Texas,
especially this Western portion where
whole counties are now fenced and under
control of capitalists, corporations and
moneyed monopolies. It would prove to be
to the best interest of the country in the
end to throw some restrictions around them
and limit them in their greed for largest
estates of freehold. | am subject to criti-
cism and don't mind it so long as the facts
are regarded aud l am permitted to reply,
and l propose to be bold enough TO write
under my own and not an assumed name

FLY WEEVIL.
Directions Which, if Needed, Will Pre-
vent Serious Loss from Its
Ravszes.

In the following letter from Mr.. L. o.
Howard, acting entomOlogist, United States
department agriculture, will be found some
interesting items regarding the trouble
some insect pest, and also some directions,
which, if needed, will prevent serious loss
from its ravages:
L. :. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
DIVISION OF ENTOMOLOGY
WASHINGTON. ID. c. Aug. l, 1881.
Editor American Grocer:
Yours of July 81 is at hand We have
long been familiar with the so-called fly
weevil" and the damage which it does.
particularly in the Southern states, but to
find a satisfactory remedy is u problem
which has never been solved. So long as
Southern planters are obliged TO adopt the
plan of leaving their crop in the field
until late in the fall, or even winter,
there is little hope that the insect
Will ever be diminished in numbers. Il
seems to be necessary for them to grow this
crop, however. and by means of more labor
and storage space, ] should think that it
would be possible to get sound corn. The
weevil never touches the grain while it is
ripening. The eggs are laid only after the
corn has ripened Therefore, | should grow
only heavy husked variety, and
should pick il soon after ripening and
store it in the hush until time for use
Meantime, l should thoroughly clean out
Ile ErdudTN UT OIlCc ii
sprinkle kerosene around pretty thor
oughly, leaving time for the odor to thor
oughly dissipate before putting in any corn.
A good tight husk will undoubtedly pre-
vent the deposition of eggs TO a very large
extent. As before stated, this method will
take more labor than the one ordin-
arily employed, and the corn in the
husl. will take up a great deal more
storage space, but it is the only tolerably
certain method which know of preventing
great loss in weight from weevil attack.
After storing il in the husk through the
winter. if for plantation consumption it is
desirable to keep a large quantity shelled,
it should be shelled at least as early as
April and thereafter Kept in tight bins
which have been previously thoroughly
cleaned. L. Q. HOWARD,
Acting Entomologist.

RATE OF INTEREST.
Questions Arising In Regard to the Amend
nnent Just Voted On.
MIDLAND, TEN, Aug. 12, 1921.

Editor Gazette.
The following questions have been pre-
senting themselves TO my mind for some
days, and III view of the election just held,
may not Ut this time seem out of place in
print:
Did the last legislature have the right to
pass the law they did (as shown by the acts
of said body. page S9s) reducing the rate Of
interest permitted to be charged, where no
rate had been agreed upon, from per cent
to per cent? If they had the right TO
change the rate as aforesaid, where none
had been agreed upon, and that TOO with
out the constitution being amended, why
then die they not have the same right,
without an amendment" TO Tx the rate TO
be permitted by contract! If they had
the right, the amendment was unnecessary.
If they had rot that right, is not the law as
passed contrary 10 the constitution! See
Art. IL. Sec. HI.
We submit these questions at what they
ars-worth IF anything, and that without
comment. Respectfully,
A 6 HAWKINS
