BOIL WEEVIL REMAINS
No Probability of Graduating the Pest,
He Says.

washington. Feb Wv. D. Hunter,
special agent in charge of cotton boil
weevil investigations for the division of
entomology, department of agriculture. in
a report issued today as an EMERGENCY
bulletin, SAYS the work of his division
for several years has demonstrated that
there is not even remote probability
that the boil weevil ever will be ex-
terminated.
The bulletin adds: Although the very
large yields of cotton for former times
may mol onger be possible, 1t is never
theIess entirely feasible to produce cotton
at a margin of profit that will compare
favorably with that involved in the pro-
ductiOn of most of staple crops OF the
United States, by following what have
become known generally as the cultural
methods. involving changes and modifi-
cations of the system of sotton raising
made necessary by the weevil. They
were originally suggested by careful
study of the life history and hibits Of
the pest, and naturally. any improve
ments that may eventually be made will
be the result of the continuation of that
study. They have now been tested sue
cessfuIIy on a large scale by the division
of entomology las we'll as by many
planters. during two very unfavorable
seasons. OF greatest advantage is the
reducing Of the numbers of the weevii
by the destruction of thep lants in the
fall. The advantage thus gained is fol-
lowed up by bending every effort to-
ward procuring an early crop the fol-
lowing season
The changes in the cotton raising sys
TEN urgently recommended are: early
planting with seed from as far north
as possible; thorough cultivation OF the
fields. which influences the constant
growth and consequent early maturity
of the crop; planting the rows as far
apart as feasible and thorough thinning
out OF thep lants in the rows. dsstruc-
ton by blowing up. windrowing and
burning all the cotton stalks in the fields
as soon as the weevils become so num-
erous that practically all the fruit is
being punctured. thus destroying the
very great proportion Of weevils develop
ing late IN the autumn. and extensive
use Of fertilizers so as to procure earlier
crops

RoER FRucALlTY.

An amusing story is told of ex- Pres ident Kruger's first voyage on an ocean liner. His fellow passengers remarked with some surprise that he regularly absented himself from the dinner table. At first they surrnised that he was ayt1 fering from seasickness, but that hy- pothesis had to be rejected when 1t was seen that during the dinner hour he paced the deck, eating huge ouantI- ties Of biscuit and blltong. One of his conpantaps at asE made SO bold as 10 inquire the reason Of this habit. ii was, 1t appeared, frugaiity based upon understanding. The president did not know chat his meals were included in the price of his ticket. and he had laid in a, great stock of hardtack and dried meat in order to avoid running mp q long bill for extrass

Imprisoned or exiled by administrative order. This fundamental document was signed by the presidents of 1o2 zemstvos, It is the more remarkable chat every one of, those presidents was confirmed by the government when he was elected. All Of them are the ofd- cialIy chosen agents of the governments and the signatories also included five marshals of the nobility, who were like- wise confirmed by the government. To add to the boldness of the proceeding this frankly comprehensive memorial was presented to the minister of the in terior by deputation headed by a man who had spent twenty four years in ex- iIe and had returned home since Prince SviatopoIk~ BfirslSy assumed the port folio of the interior.
 Having disposed of it's resolution de- Efnanding representation in the vital af- fairs of the government, the zernstvo meeting took up the consideration of various topics of minor i1npol tance among which were primary education. the Reorganization attendant upon mobilization, relief for the families of those sent to the front and the Red Cross work. Highly indicative of the interest excited throughout the empire by the meeting were the floods of proc Ae-AAeAAAQAG WAhCAA @t@1A1G HI AAOA4A IG0ACcl organizations of every kind. Messages of sympathy and encouragement were received from mostsof the distant prov inces; even Finland the latest sufferer from Russia's policy of abAorpt sent an infiuentially signed note. Many sympathetic demonstrations were made In various parts of the country, and so many liberals of all shades of opinion flocked into St. Petersburg that accom- modation could not be secured for the multitude. Excitement ran high. but perfect order was maintained. The scene in the hotel Hobbies was ikened by an observer to presidential conven- ton times in an, American city. ss
 The zemstvo was a pacificatory, de- vice of the assassinated Alex derlsII To check the tide of anarchy and tli- hilisn which threatened to overwhelm him he instituted this shadow of re- form, which was accepted at the mo- follow. He left behind him an unpro- mulgated ukase which is supposed to have been D further step in the liberal- ization Of Russia At his death this document was destroyed by the auto cratic party, and its animus has never been divulged.
