Doctor Wiley Found That Borax
Didn't Hurt Some Men

RFrUBLIc SPECIAL.
Washington. July 12.-Doctor Wiley. CHIEF
Chemist of the Agricultural Department. is
striving hard to keep secret the results of
his recent sensational experiments with
borax and boracic acid Enough has be-
come known. however. to justify the asser-
ton that the ma jority of the men fed with
the preservatives suffered practically no
i'll effects.
Doctor Wiley has the conclusion forced
upon him that all human stomachs are not
alike: that some men can eat great quant-
ties of borax without the slightest harm.
while other men apparently equally strong
cannot take even small quantities without
feeling its effects. The doctor is also hav-
ing the conclusion reluctantly. forced upon
him that what is one mans food is another
mans poison.
Doctor Wiley has tried his experiments
upon greater number of subjects than
any other scientist. The result will leave
the question where it was before the en-
perimeuts were undertaken.
Some scientists nave declared preser"a-
tivcs to he injurious while others were
equally emphatic i'll holding that they were
harmless.

COTTON AREAS IN THE SOUTH.

The report brought back from Texas
and Arkansas by government expert |
sounds in most disquieting terms, If |
correctly reported, he says that the Mis-
sissIppi river lands are fatally affee-
ted by the ravages of the Mexican boil
weeviI and that the insect appears to
be lneradicable He predicts that by
reason of it, the trans-M Mississippi
country in the south will be forced to
abandon cotton culture.
Should that calamity be forced upon
the people of that region it would
mean the annual loss of nearly $780,,
900, 600 in that one cash crop. How
much they could recoup of that loss by
devotIng their lands to other crops
cannot be at all calculated. But the
impoverishing effectupon the states in

to attract universal attention and re-

It is to be ehoped-indeed, expected
that modern science will be adequate

There was time when the army worm
marched with Unsuitable NAV over our
cotton fields and neither floods nor
fire were of avail against the deyasta-
ting columns. But now we scarcely
ever hear the army worm mentioned.
| Science found amethod for it's exter-

vindicate itself by going after the boil

habitats and prevent it's breeding and
