WEEVIL PROOF COTTON PLANT.

Au announcement of great interest to every
cotton grower in the country was made the 9TH
or day by Entomologist Wmot Newell of Louis
lana State Crop Pest Commission, to the effect
that the commission had succeeded in produc-
ing a new variety of cotton plant that is immune
from the attacks of boil weevs and similar in
sect pests. What this means to the cotton belt
may be in a measure understood when it is re-
called that the boil weevl has been causing mill
lions of dollars damage year in Texas alone
during the past several years, and that eminent
authorities have declared there is every pros
pect that the weevil will eventually make its
appearance throughout the cotton growing Sec
tons. No method of killing outthe bug has
been discovered, and Secretary Wilson's ex-
perts who have studied the matter have said
there is none and the only way to successfully
combat the pest is to cultivate cotton plant
that is immune to it.
More than three years ago the Louisiana
commission began experimenting to the lend of
producing an immune cotton plant in which, ac-
cording to Prof. Newell, the commission has
been successful. The second crop of the new
variety, which is called the Triumph, maturing
in the experimental plantations of the commits
sion in the Red river and Mississippi bottom
lands. The unusual amount of rain has some
what damaged the plant, but Prof. Newell says
it will harvest half bale to the acre even under
these disadvantages, and he is sure the variety
will do much better in favorable seasons. The
bolls are said to be exceptionally large many of
them being as much as five and half inches in
diameter. The plant natures rapidly and bring
its crop to the picking season considerably
ahead of the old varieties, which is .said to be
one of the secrets of its success in defying the
weevl. Details of the experiment and its re-
suits will shortly be published in an expert
ment station bulletin.

State School Commissioner Merritt''s Report

According to the annual tabulated report
for 1905 issued from the press and distributed
among the members of the legislature this
week by State School ommissioner Merritt,
it will be seen that 165,840 negroes enrolled in
the schools under supervision of the state as
against $4,000 whites
Another fact in the report is in the matter
of attendance by the two races. During the
year 1905 the total number of negroes VINO at
tended school is S. 908 against 1924 whites.
In this report under the head of the num-
Der of school houses in counties belonging to
county boards of education it is shown that the
whites possess 1929; negroes FOG; value OF white
schools, $406,O58 negroes, $31, 765; total number
of school houses and value, ,635 and S437,SZ3.
Under the head of schools not belonging to the
boards of education the following is shown
White schools, 2,8O7, negro, 1896; value of for
mer, $724, 800; the latter, $153,O55 1t is also
shown that the average cost of schooling both ne
eroes and whites on the same basis is $1.15 per
month, of which amount S1.03 is paid by the
state.
Commissioner Merritts report shows that
during last year 293 school houses we're erected
at a cost of sos 1O In the preface of his re-
port the commissioner says:
"The year 1905 has been notable in the
history of our state for its material prosperity.
Our educational institutions from kindergarten
to college have en- oyed large share OF this
prosperity"
He also calls attention to the number OF ru-
raj communities which have provided for long
terms and have built splendid school houses.
There are many instances where school houses
worth one and two hundred dollars have been
replaced with buildings costing from one to two
thousand dollars. The want of high schools is
felt in every rural community. 1t is recon-
mended that more remunerative salaries be paid
to school teachers. Recognizing need Of revl-
sion of school laws the following amendments
are incorporated in senate bill:
Power of eminent domain is given county
boards for securing school sites; the county
board is given special authority in assisting in
the erection of school houses, establishing school
libraries and consolidating schools; more fire.
quent visits to schools are required of the coun-
ty school commissioners and specific duties as
to supervision are enumerated; the county board
of education may pay better salaries; the school
year is changed to begin September 1, instead of
January 1; provision is made for more than one

The way Tom Watson and Charley Pen
dleton are bombarding each other with facts
these days is nuts for the boys who are out of
range. Both will regret that the lid was ever
lifted, when the smoke clears away.
