port of the operations of the fire depart
ment for the month of November. The de-

amounted to SAG 225, or little over 81 per
cent of the total insurance, $S7, 74O, on the
property.

insurance there being greater by $4,000

PARIS GREEN INTELLECTUAL.
Vain Efforts to Destroy the Cotton Boil
Weevil

Paris green has been tried by the De-
partment of Agriculture for the destruc-
ton of the cotton boil weevil and found to
be ineffective. 1t has been used persist
emily and for long time. and has had not
the slightest deterrent effect on the ad-
vancement of this pest. Its use does not
reduce the number of weevils to any ma
terial extent nor does it increase the yield
of cotton.
y report on the subject from the de-
partment says that the reasons for the
lack of success of this powerful poison are
that but a small proportion of weevils
emerge from their Information before the
squares are set upon the cotton plants; they
do not drink the dew that falls upon the
plants during the night and all their feed
ing is done within the plant where the
poison cannot reach them. The expert
ments of the department will therefore be
continued along other lines, it being the
hope that some effective agent for the de-
struction of the insect will be found.
