TO FIGHT THE BOIL WEEVIL


lect and seeming indifference tn
cotton interests of Texas and th
neighborlng States have been thorough
ly awakened to the seriousness of th,
danger which threaten them. Fal
from dying out, as some people hat
confidently expected, the weevils hay,
become more aud more numerous
each season, and have steadily extend
ed the area of their ravages until il
is now evident that the little pests
will extend all over the State of Texas
in another year or two and will even
tually. unless promptly checked. in
wade the entire cotton district Of the
Southern States.
IT is only few years since the
pest entered Texas from Mexico. and
| its ravages now extend almost to the
northern most limits of the State,
while the progress eastward has been
ut n rate which makes it certain that
unless something is done this year
before the next crop is planted the
borders of Louisiana will be invaded
and the rich cotton lands of this
State laid waste. What would hap
pen to the cotton yield of Louisiana
should the weevil be permitted to find
n lodgment here, is ensy to forecast
from the experience of the weovil-in-
Tested districts of Texas.
There the cotton production as been
so terribly reduced through the Wee
vii ravages that it hardly pays to
grow cotton where the pest has become |
numerous
The department of Agriculture has |
suggested that the ravages of the |
pest might be in some measure re
duced by planting early varieties of
cotton, but even should the season
favor such early planting, which is
not always the case, Ms last year
showed, such an expedient would only
prove palliative and not cure. 1t
will be necessary to fight the pest
Systematically, and for that purpose
the assistance of the Federal Govern
ment will be absolutely necessary.
With us of Louisiana there is no
time to lose if the weevil is to be
kept out of the State. 1t has been
that broad strip of land
Oh the Texas Louisiana border could
kept free from cotton cultivation and
thus made to serve rs n barrier to the
invasion of the weevils Such n
step would require Legislative action
md enactment, and the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange has adopted resolu-
lions asking the Governor to confer
with the cotton interests and to call
the General Assembly in extraordinary
session Mt once for the purpose adopt
ing such expedients as may be deemed
necessary to fight the pest, includi ng,
)f course, the proposition to create
one along the Texas border, in which
cotton will not be planted
1t has been announced that Cover
1or Heard will meet the cotton repre-
who were recently at the
Dallas convention, in this city on
Friday, as well Ms others interested in
cotton and it is expected that ms re-
'ult of that conference call will be
ssued for special session of the
General Assembly and other means
levised Of furthering the movement
% activity combat the destructiv @
veeyil and arrest his further progress.

highly pleased with it, and liked 1t bet

FOOT BALL SQUAD is OUT.
Candidates for High School Eleven Be
ain Practice TUESDAY,.

With the opening of the fall term In
the public schools the foot ball season
has also opened, and the first practice
of the year was held yesterday after
noon. 1t is, as yet, trifie early in the
season, to attempt to predict just what
sort of a team the high school will be
able to put out. but the prospects, as
they now appear, are rather fiattering.
Nine of the eleven of last year have
returned and will try for the team
Other promising new material has
showed up. and it is thought that no
trouble will be anticipated in getting
together as good, and probably better
eleven than represented the school
during last season. Lounsberry will
captain this years team and the old
men who are back are George and
Russell Powell. Maurice Kent Ross
Salisbury, Earl Perry. Carol Kirk.
Johnson and Walter Hull. John
Wright will coach and manage the
team and has the schedule for the year
about completed. Several of the dates

a Marvellous Accomplishment.

A noted New York chef, in speaking
on the subject few days ago, said
Did you ever stop to think what i
means to serve from fifty to 125 people
a meal in a dining car? The necessarily
small space in which the meal must be
prepared, the rapid manner in which 1t
must be served, the fact that all the
time the train is running at high rate
Of speed, and that the diners are NOV
ing in and out of the dining car in the
very limited space allotted for the
walters to serve the meal, all add ma
terially to the difficulty of the situa-
ton.
SIN looking over dinner menu IN
use on the New York Central's TWen-
tteth Century Limited was surprised
to find that this dinner would cost. at
any first-class hotel in New York, be-
tween "a and IS. OF course, all of the
dishes on the menu would not likely
be ordered by any one person. but the
fact that each patron has the entire
menu to order from is the foundation
for my estimate OF what the dinner
would cost in New York.
Among the dishes served on the day
I examined the menu were green turtle
soup, shad, fresh mushrooms. spring
lamb, teal duck fresh tomatoes, straw
berry shortcake, etc. etc.'-F'rom the
