Mr.. Hunter says the probable ultimate

spread over the entire belt, would ap-
proximate S250,000,00O annually, pro-
viding nothing were done to check it..
Planters, however, are adopting
changes in methods that tend to avoid
so much damage.
The report predicts that the weevil
eventually will be distributed all over
the cotton belt, advancing into new
territory at the rate OF approximately
500 miles IN a decade, and it probably
always will be as destructive in Sc
ries of years as it has been in Texas
since 1894.
MIGHT GO ON A VOYAGE.
The report suggests that the proba-
bility of its being carried to West AT
RIGA or elsewhere abroad is not at all
remote.
In case the seed happens to be soaked
or even shipped in bulk there is moth
ing to prevent the weevils from being
carried long distances on shipboarl, as
they are able to adapt themselves sue
cessfully 10 climatic conditions. It is
pointed out, however, that the danger
could be avoided by fumigation or by
leaving the seed sacked in store rooms,
isolated from new cotton, for year
previous to shipment.

riculture at Washington, and written
by w. D. Hunter, who has charge OF

Mr.. Hunter says the conservative
authorities agree that unless contin-

the pest soon will cause an increase ia
the price of cotton throughout the
world. By living within the fruit of
the plant the weevil is we'll protected

OF interest to Peach Growers.

A bulletin is in course OF prepare
ton at the Department of Agriculture,
it is said, describing a method of ex-
terminating a peach tree parasite
known as little peach" The reason
this pest was SO named is because a
tree bearing large fruit when attacked
by these parasites is affected by the
disease commonly known among peach
growers of western Maryland as the
"go back" and thereafter produces a
small and bitter peach, instead of the
former large ana luscious product.
The Agricultural Department experts
have been experimenting with this
matter for ten years, it is stated.
Mr.. Morton B. Waite, chief of the d.
vision of orchard fruits, reports that
the parasite can be exterminated by
cutting out of the orchard every tree
affected by the little peach"

THE ORIGIN or suRNAMEs.
They Were First Used in Normandy
i Before the Conquest.

They Were First Used in Normandy
Before the Conquest.
Neither Hebrews, Egyptians, Assyri-
ans, Babylonians, Persians nor Greeks
had >surnames and in the earliest
period of their history the same may
be said of the Romans, says the WAY
erly Magazine. In course of time,
however, every Roman citizen had
three names-the praenomen, or per-
sonal name; the nomen, or name Of
the gems or clan, and the cognomen,
or family name. as Publius Corelius
Scipio. Conquerors were occasionally
complimented by the addition of a
fourth name, or agnomen, commemor.
alive of their conquest, as Publius
Cornelius Scipio Africanus.
1t is impossible to state with any
degree of certainty when the modern
system of personal nomenclature be-
came general. 1t has been stated that
the practice of surnames began in
Normandy and extended to England
after the Norman conquest, but a
document in the Cottonian manuscript
quoted in Turner's History Of the
Anglo-Saxons" contains reference to
Invita- HATTIE, keeper of bees in
Hathfelda; to Tate HATTIE, his daugh.
ter, mother of Wulsige the shooter,
and Lulle HATTIE, sister of Wulsige.
The date of these records of the
Hates is not to be ascertained. but
they were certainly written before the
year 1866. So far as antiquarians have
been able to discover HATTIE is the
first surname whose existence can be
traced in England. It is not improb-
able that the founder of the HATTIE
family was SO called because of some

he was in the habit of wearing,
