has been to attribute the losses sus-

the boil weevil when the boil worm

In illustrating this poiit. he picks
out nine counties in Texas in which

claim that the reduction in the crop

annually. He then takes up the re-

him at 80 per cent.
Dr. Hunter then proceeds to show
next that the reduction Of produc-

less than the reduction of the pro-

much less than the reduction in the

very much less than in the cotton

The Gtrth OF Man lncrcasing.


An excellent illustration of the value
of records has been afforded lately re.
gardng the question of physical degen.
eracy. A firm in the north OF England
has compared the measurements for
clothing made two generations ago
with those of to-day, the results going
to show that chest and hip measure
ments are now three inches on the av-
erage more than they were sixty years
ago. The same conclusion is reached
10y the experience of the ready made
clOthiers. These facts. whatever may
be their generality. do not quite dis
pose of the question of degeneracy.
They are what we should expect from
the more abundant and cheaper food
Of the people their better housing and
improved sanitary surroundings; but
the testimony regarding the untitness
Of recruits and progressive lack Of

featuring, populations cannot be disre.
