Now he has a farm Of 500 acres in the
Wyandotte valley that is worth all the
way from 1925 to $3.50 an acre, on which
he has built a mansion with all of the
modern improvements. He has besides

cases no infestation has been attrlb-
utable to the seed so collected. In
one case, however, a farmer known
to have collected the seed ON sheet
in the way described, and during the
present season It was found that the
only field on his farm where the wee
vii is found was that to which he had
hauled bulk seed for fertilizer from
the same gin at which he had so care
fully guarded his cotton seed.
One farmer in Caleasieu parish gin
ned his cotton partly at an infested
and partly at an uninfested gin. 1t
has been found that the weevils upon
his plantation occur only in the field
grown from seed brought from the in.
tested gin.
In a sparsely settled country, like
the western portion Of Caleasieu Par
lsh, where the cotton fields are small
and the gins consequently located at
considerable distance from one an
other, the weevil has been carried
astonishipgly long distances. Prof
H. a. Morgan, secretary of the Louisi
ana Crop Pest Commission. has fur
nished the writer with many interest
ing examples of this. In one ease II
has been ascertained that farmer in
the neighborhood of Jerryville trans
ported the pest for sixteen miles, thus
establishing an isolated infestation
That the occurrence Of the pest in
this locality was not due to its being
blown by the wind is demonstrated by
the fact that no other cotton fields ii
the neighborhood are infested, thu
neighbors having glnned their cottor

South, namely, control of the boil

les; and on account Of the fact that
the ginning season is now at its height
and that the farmers in Texas and
Louisiana will soon be obtaining seed
for planting purposes, Special Agent
Hunter states, in opening his report,
that the extent to which cotton seed
and ginnerles are factors in the dis

present season, he writes, the Bureau

ton Of this department with the Louis

engaged in an attempt to prevent the

ties for determining the exact means
whereby weeyils reach new regions
At the present time this work has led
to the conclusion that if 1t were posi-

bed he could see the dark bulk Of the
cabin with a CLINT OF starlight on its
window. Above, the black boughs Of
the pine made a network against the
sky sown with stars Of an extraordi
nary size and luster. He could hear
the river sleepily murmuring to itself.
Once, far off, In the higher mountains,
the shrlll. weird cry OF a California
lion tore the silence. He rose on his
elbow, looking toward the cabin. The
sound was a terrifying cne, ard he was
prepared to see the woman come out,
frightened, and had the words of reas-
surance ready to call to her. But there
was no movement from the little hut.
She was evidently wrapped in the sleep
of utter fatigue.

Lucy was standing on the bank In
the clear morning light she looked

been her husbands.

without regret In the still peaceful

But before she had fairly mounted

her back to give Lucy good-by kiss.
There was more feeling In this action

He clucked at the horses, and the
wagon moved forward amid a stir of
red dust. The woman on the front seat
drew her sunbonnet over her face. The
