Optimistic

DISCUSSES BOIL WEEVIL

DR.. J. A. 3. Lovett of Brownsville, who is
and has been for many years president
of the Ninth district Agricultural school,
commonly known as the Central Agricul-
tural school, spent yesterday in Birming-
ham. DR.. Lovett is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the practical and scientific
phases of agriculture.
He was actively connected with the
Southern Cotton association in it's ineip-
iency at Shreveport and afterward in it's
, conventions at New Orleans For some
years he has been president of the Ala
bama division. He is now a candidate
for nomination to the office of commits
sioner of agriculture and industries.
DR.. Lovett is optimistic as to the future
price of cotton and believes that higher
range of values will be established. This
opinion, he says, was based on increase
in the worlds consumption in the first
place and the scarcity of labor in the sec
/ ond. Another factor making for higher
prices he thinks is the inevitable invasion
of the Mexican boil weevil.
The Dreaded Pest.
AT the rate of fifty miles year" said
DR.. Lovett this dreaded pest is making
its way to the cotton fields of Alabama.
Two or three years hence the boil weevl
will most likely be in our midst Now
is the time to take the mater in hand
to awaken to the menace. Every state
east of the Mississippi should lose no
time in forming battle line to meet the
distinctive foe. With knowledge of
the life and habits of this bug a famil-
iarty with the nature of the cotton plant,
and a mastery of the cultural methods
of production, this insect can be mater
tally weakened in its devastations.
THE cotton association has a great ser
vice TO perform and its claims should eff
fectively appeal to every patriotic citizen
of the south, but its mission is one of
such limitations that it cannot take the
place of an agricultural association. In
this connection | would say that our fam
ers' Institutes are accomplishing great
good in the line of technical instruc-
ton, and they should continue unabated.
In my Judgment, however, these Institutes
should be carried more into the rural
districts, where they would secure a bet
ter attendance and receive a keener APP
probation.
Retaining Lands.
much of the abandoned lands of Ala
bama should be reclaimed and those
lands which are far on the way to ster-
ility should and can be checked in their
downward course. Much of the land now
in cultivation is being stripped of its
productive soil by erosion and unwise
farm management Ample terracing, crop
rotation and diversified farming demand
immediate and constant attention, and
in this new era of southern agriculture
these vital subjects are demanding the

COLE AND GOOD ROADS.

The Minneapolis Journal says that
the new state highway commission
has no funds for work this year, but
it is beginning to attract attention
with it's plans for system of state
roads. The possibilities Of intelli-
gent state roadmaking are beginning
to dawn on the people Of Minnesota,
who will have cause to appreciate
the wisdom of the highway commits
sion law more every year that fol-
lows.
1t may not be generally known
that the law in question is another
piece of able constructive work by
Albert L. Cole, the Republican NOM
inee for governor. In his two terms
of service as legislator Mr.. Cole
has left deep impress on the in
stitutions of the state, and his rec
ord of accomplishment is a strong
argument for promoting him to the
office of chief executive. He came
to the rescue when there seemed
little chance of passing a highway
commission law, and framed meas
ure which united all interests.
Sectional hostility defeated one
bill after another, till the session of
1905, when Mr.. Cole was chairman
of the house committee on roads
and bridges. Two or three highway
commission bills were introduced,
but they all met with the same old
objection. Finally Mr.. Cole himself
took all the bills and worked out a
draft which was adopted with hard
ly any change. 1t gives every safe
guard necessary to prevent wasteful
expenditures of state money, and at
the same time is elastic enough to
permit road-making on less expen-
sive methods for the newly settled
counties. 1t also insures every
county a share in the fund, provided
the conditions of the act are COM
piled with. 1t requires economy in
administration, which will mean that
every dollar in the road and bridge
fund will go into actual construc-
ton of roads and bridges.
The measure gives promise of
general satisfaction, and the credit
for it's passage is due to the Repub-
lican nominee for governor, more
than any one man. In his public
life A. L. Cole has been man who
does things.

In recent article written by AL
fred Henry Lewis that gentleman
gives clear idea of the abuses prac-
ticed by railroad companies. A pri-
vate coal company doing business
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
a road practically owned and con-
trolled by the Pennsylvania COM
pany, made application to the form
er company for a track leading to
their dump, a distance of about
1900 feet from the company's main
track, offering to pay for the con-
struction of the spur out of the coal
company's own exchequer. The B.
& O. refused on the ground that
they owned nearly all of the coal
mining property along their line and
that they proposed to do business
only for themselves. The local COM
pany took up the matter with con-
gress and that led to the investiga-
ton now going on, and in a large
measure to recent congressional
legislation. The railroad companies
stand in their own light when they
refuse such requests as made by
this private coal company. Such
actions lead to publicity, publicity
leads to stirring up the people, and
when the people are stirred up Leg
islation must be enacted. If the

Some of the best attorneys in the
state disagree with Attorney Gen.
eral Young in the latter's opinion
that women cannot vote at the pri-
maries on Sept. 18th for superin-
tendent of schools. They point to
section 1876 of the new code which
says that judges of primary election
in canvassing the election returns,
shall certify as to the number of
ballots cast by men and the number
cast by women. We advise women
to go up and vote and further adj
wise judges of the primary election
to not refuse them that privilege,
for fear of being brought into court
later and show cause why they did
not do so. If the vote is illegal it
can be thrown out, and if courts
hold that they have the right to
vote and judges refused, it will go
hard with the latter. Mr.. Young's
opinion is just an opinion de-
cision. Women. don't forget to
vote Sept. 18th.
