Is short on demand. The Muckermann and
Polar Wave Ice companies estimate that
the consumption of Ice. since the beginning
OF the drought, has been so to 60 per cent
greater than before.
The capacities Of the artificial ice plants
have been overtaxed, and the importation
of natural ice from outside lakes has
grown into carload lots. which the city ice
dealers say are too slowly delivered to
relieve the situation. The wholesale Ice
dealers assert that they have not advanced
the price of their product, while they are
not certain that the small dealer has failed
to take advantage Of the extremity.
Beer Is short The breweries admit they
are many hundreds Of thousands OF bottles
behind the urgent demand. Draft beer, as
brewed by the combined city plants. IS not
the sunstroke to cool their palates. despite
the medical warning that alcoholics are
the prime generators of heat prostratton.
Vegetables have gone the way OF the
pastures. An abundance OF Indifferent tu-

tables with the quality of vegetables de-
manded by the regulations of their hostel
ries. Prices on vegetables have been adj
yanced, but there Is little complaint at tho
increase. according to some OF the larger
grocery houses.
Butter has not yet been visibly affected

MexicaA boil Weevil.
Two years ago n new pest appeared IN
Texas This bug is known as the Mexi-
can boil weevil. He is supposed to have
been imported. but some OF those who have
investigated its origin say, that it couid
have been blown here easily.
According to all those who have been
trying to find some way OF getting RID OF

others are inclined to be indolent when the

and the same methods used in the destruc-
tion Of the cotton worm oid not work with
him. He taught the female to deposit the
eggs at the base of the square. or at the
heart of the boil, SO that the farmer could
spray away all day with his poison. and
the widow and orphans would be safe.
The boil worm did faster execution than
the cotton worm. He seems to have had a
notion that he had only a short time to do
business, and he tofled night and day.
Ravages On Cotton and Corn.
And his rise was rapid. In 1867, twenty
four or twenty-five years after his discov
cry. he laid waste half Of Jefferson Parish.
And he did not spare Texas, Arkansas. Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, or the Caroi-
mas. Not only did he paralyze the cotton.
but when he had finished with that he
started In on corn. and when that had been
withered and shriveled he lighted on tOma
toes. and there he stopped For this reason
he is variously known as the corn bug and
the tomato bug. All of these appellatiOns
are right In a measure. He did not seem
very particular about his diet, 30 long as
It was fresh and green. He only drew the
line at grass.
The boil worm is the most ubiquitous can
nibal that ever appeared in the insect line
Australia. In North and South America.
They ate the crops wherever they went.
and when they could not find anything
exactly to their taste they ate themselves
For awhile the farmer thought that the
boil worm was going to be a blessing. Be-
tween the boil worm and the cotton worm
there sprung up deadly feud. and the boil
worm was putting the cotton worm to sleep
Just as fast as he could get to him. But It
developed subsequently that the boil worm
was only clearing the way for himself. and
when the cotton worm was out OF the way
the boil worm settled down to carry out his
design.
