useful in destroying boil weevils
are the three species Of orioles,
which frequent the cotton belts Of
this entire section-the orchard orr
ole, the Baltimore oriole and the
Bullock oriole. The orchard is the
species more widely distributed over
the cotton belt. OF the eIghty-four
specimens of this bird examined,
twenty-six. or about 81 per cent
had ealeu boil weevils the total
number Of weeviIs taken by the
twenty-six birds was forty-seven, an.
average Of nearly two to the bird,
or SO per cent Of all the birds ex-
amined. All three specimens of
orioles are migratory and spend
only the early spring and summer
in Texas and Louisiana.
Another bird is the night hawk.
OF four birds examined two had
eaten weevils, aud one had taken
six weevils for a meal. This Is a
pretty good recommendation for the
night hawk.
The object of this investigation
is to find the useful birds in this
fight and to see that they receive
better protection.

Birds to Aid In Boil WeevlI Fight.
Arthur H. Howell of the Biolog-
ical Survey Of the U. S. govern
ment, who was In New Orleans last
week, had the following interview
with a reporter of the Picayune in
regard to the boil weevil
This scheme of turning to the
birds for relief in the boil weevil
fight, is the latest development in
the situation, and is predicated on
the welI-founded belief among en-
tomologists and all the government
experts that have ever spoken on
the subject, that unless some furth-
er relief is discovered that the Mex
ican boil weevil will devastate the
whole cotton belt.
There is no question that the
weevil is migrating TO the East ev-
cry year. and is moving at the rate
of forty miles year. It has now
reached the Mississippi River, and

geese impounded (Which I most

was offended or became tangled up
In an alteration as a result of
being offended. As to the aIterca-
ton referred to, the only part I
played in it was to defend myself.
The attack was made upon me
while engaged in conversation with
Will Allen, the mayor. I certainly
said nothing at what he could take
offense, and can conceive of nothing
I did. unless to refuse to pay s3.1s
for cost and damage.
My geese were turned ont of my
premises, and I question If any one
will ever find out from me who it
was that I think did it.

Peyton. Aug. 20, root

Editor Reveille
1 see in your paper and elsewhere
a great deal said about the good
prospects for another large cotton
crop this year. Now, Mr.. Editor,
I want to say that think some
body has over-shot the mark long
ways, and it is at the expense of
the producer. ] want to say that
1 do have some idea Of what a crop
is when / see it. have spent my
life on the farm, and if am any
judge 1 think the crop has been
over-estimated long ways, espec-
tally with reference to Claiborne
county, or the part Of it that / have
seen. Now, I know nothing about
the river OF western half Of the
county. for I have not seen il, but
in the last two weeks I have been
over the eastern half Of the county,
or the biggest part oft. and a por-
tion of Jefferson also, and in my
opinion the crop will not exceed 90
per cent. or 65 at the outside. About
the third week in July the prospect
was as fine as I ever saw, but since
that time the continued dry wealth
er and almost constant north wind |
have stripped it, except the few
matured bolls we have, and they
are very light for the time Of year.
Now, I look upon the situation
as being a serious one. These fine
reports, which are net true as far
as the 1. c. to my knowledge, |
are calculated to run the prices
down, probably as low as 8 cents,
before the true condition of things
are found out, and In that time
what little we have got will be
gone, for the man that owes what
he has made, like I do, has got to
turn it loose at maturity Of his
notes, and thus you can readily see
the attitude these things that are
not true puts us in. And. now, I
do hope that the future reports will
be based on the true condition of
things as they are and not on what
we would like them to be.
Yours truly,
@. D. PARKER.
This is no exception to what we
usually hear at this time Of year.
Isn't it fact that we always have
north winds in August ? Isn't it
a fact that cotton always sheds in
August7 Isn't 1t fact that such
reports make the government $ esti-
mate invariably below the actual
yield9 The editor OF the ReveiIle
knows that cotton IS shedding, and
Is shedding worse this year than

Rogers Must Answer.

The Supreme Court of Missouri
has held that witnesses were com
PEELED to answer questions in the
Standard Oil hearing in St. Louis
The same point was involved when
II. ii. Rogers declined to answer
questions at the hearing in New
York The st. Louis hearing was
discontinued a week ago until the
Supreme Courts decision on the
point involved should be handed
down.
This practically decides the case
against Mr.. Rogers, who with Mr..
Rockefeller, is one of the biggest
oil magnates in the world. At
the hearing before the Commits
Sionels appointed to investigate
certain proceedings of the Stand
ard Oil Company, Mr.. Rogers
practically showed his contempt
for the courts and blankly refused
to answer any questions asked
him. The press of the country
took the matter up and roundly
scored the witness and the methods
with which he is allied.
1t shows that the Standard Oil
Company considers itself above
the courts and the law and one
can better understand how true
are the many charges made against
1t. If its officers are above the
law, then the company is without
authority to transact business and
should promptly be so proceeded
against. Mr.. Rogers will now be
made to tell what the Commits
sioners want to know and it will
certainly go harder with him and
his company than if he had acted
with the proper spirit. 1t looks
like the people are gradually com.
ing into their rights, after all.
