A WARNING
Boil Weeyils Are Not Disappearing, as
Many Farmers Suppose

Reports are now beginning to reach
us from planters in various parts of the
boil weevil section to the effect that the
boil weevils are disappearing.
The planters of Texas, during the first
few years of the weevil infestation, ex-
perienced this same pleasurable sensa-
ton each summer, until few years of
sad experience taught them that appear
ances were deceitful
The reports received from entomolo-
gists of the United States Department of
Agriculture now at work in western
Louisiana, show that adult weevils are
getting scarce in many of the fields.
This apparent disappearance of adult
weeyils is accounted for by the fact that
the hibernated weevils that survived the
winter, and most of which have now
emerged from their winter quarters, are
now dying off very rapidly, but another
brood, the first brood of the summer, is
now developing in the squares and when
this brood has matured and starts to
depositing eggs in the squares in July,
the farmer will quickly realize that there
has been no ,real disappearance at all.
This article is sent out as a warning
to the farmer, to caution him against
letting this coming temporary absence
of adult weevils lull him into a false Sc
curity. This same thing has taken place
in the boil weevil section each year and
will take place in every year to come
Therefore do not neglect those measures
which will protect the crop. Give fire.
quent shallow cultivation and pick uf
/ and cage the fallen squares as directed
in Circular No. IS of the Crop Pes'
Commission Any farmer who has mo-
received this circular should write a
once TO the commission at Baton Rougs
for a copy.
The farmers who have been expert
menting with paris green on the cotton
now behold this seemingly miraculous
disappearance of adult weevils and nat
urally lump to the conclusion that thu
poison has done it. Circumstance
could not conspire more perfectly to ere
ate false results in these experiments.
| Whether he has banked on ParI
green or not, our advice to every farme
Iii the weevil territory is to protect hi
crop by giving frequent civilizations ant
taking care of the fallen squares, for il
most of the infested area these are tn
lonly means by which cotton can be mad
now.

Father-in-Law in the
Mix-Up

The Ely Mining Expositor Of July 5
contaius the following particulars Of a
family row that occurred in that city
ON the 4th instant, one of the parties to
the trouble having lived in Eureka q
few years ago:
Earl Farlinger, an engineer in the
employ Of the Nevada Consolidated
Copper Company. was arrested last
night for ~slugging Mrs. George l..
Acocks, his mother-in-law, and on his
appearance in the Justice court this
morning he pleaded guilty to the
charge and was fined $40 and costs.
~Farlinger's domestic troubles have
Just started, for a complaint will be
sworn out against him to-day, charging
him with having beat up his sister.in-
law. Mrs. Eldridge.
According to the story Of the affair,
as told by George l.. Acocks, Farlin.
gers father -in-law. Farlinger has m ade
1t a practice the last few months to
abuse his wife frightfully, and even
went so far as to forbid her to take
part in the Fourth OF July celebration
In this city. The strife was started
when Acocks announced that he would
go up to the mines after his daughter.
FariiSser changed his mind, and
brought his wife down to the Acocks
home, and Immediately took his de-
parture. Acocks says that his son.in-
law attended the wedding dance at
Lane City all by hi lonely, and that
he returned at 4 o'clock in the morn
Ing In an intoxicated condition.
Announcing his intention of taking
IN one of the social hops last evening,
Farllnger again made a getaway with
out taking his wife. Mrs. Farlinger,
her sister. Mrs. Eldridge, and Charles
Farlinger, also attended the dance,
and while az that public function Far.
hnger told his wife that he did not
want to have anything to do with her.
Acocks became enraged at the treat
ment his daughter received, and began
a quiet search for his son-in-law, with
success.
Finally the party encountered Far
linger at the skating rink, and Acocks
Invited him out for the purpose of ex-
planning matters. Farlinger refused
for a short time. but when Mrs. Acocks
threatened to expose him, he followed,
unwil.ingly. 1t was at this stage of
the game that he struck Mrs. Acoeks,
while they were on the way home.
FarllDger then ran away. according to
the story that Acocks tells. but Mrs.
Eldridge pursued and grabbed him near
the corner of High and Third streets.
1t is claimed that Farlinger took offense
at his sister.in.law's Intrusion slugged
her in the mouth, and called her abusive
names. He will have to answer to this
charge in the Justice Court tomorrow.
At the corner of Third and High
streets Acocks and Farlinger engaged
in a little mix-up. Farlinger tripped
on a rock, and the two were thrown to
the ground. Acocks say that they
both rolled down the hillside. When
they came to a stop, Farlinger was on
top, and Acocks claims hat Farlinger
disappeared in the darkness when this
opportunity was afforded. Acocks i'm
mediately procured a warrant for Far
fingers arrest.

LONGEST POWER LINE IN WORLD
Will Extend From Alpine. Cali

and on to Ely

About six weeks ago the SENTINEL
noted the arrival here by automobile Of
II. A. Lemon and +. @. Baum. repre-
~sentatives Of the California Nevada
Electric Power Company. ON their way
to Ely. 1t was also stated at the time
that the trip was made for the purpose
Of ascertaining the most practical route
for a proposed electric line for the trans
mission of power from q point in Alpine
County, California, through the princi-
pal cities and towns of Nevada to Ely.
White Pine County.
That the proposition has passed the
speculative and entered the operative
stage. the following article from the
Reno Journal of July 5 will fully demon
strate:
The California Nevada Electric Power
Company has entered upon . campaign
which means the expenditure Of $751;
600. 900. the transmission Of the highest
voltage in the world and over . longer
line.
r. E. Maynard, vice-president Of the
company, aud H. A. Lemon, who has
charge of one Of the departments Of
construction work, spent yesterday in
this city. They report that the com
pany has already expended $780, 900 in
the purchase of reservoir sites and now
owns more than third Of the taxable
land in Alpine County.
Eight splendid power sites have al
ready been secured, including Hope and
Fish Valleys, which will be converted
into immense reservoirs, so large that
the power plants can be operated for Eve
months without a single drop Of water
coming into the reservoirs.
Four surveying parties and n con-
struction crew are now actively an
gagged. AS the season advances and the
preliminary work is completed. more
men will be put to work.
The power to be generated will be
conveyed as far as to Ely, Nevada, the
longest transmission line in the world.
and unique in another point, in that it
will carry the largest voltage. 100000
volts.
Within the next 10 years the COM
pauy expects to expend $l5. 600. 900. and
will then possess the most elaborate
electrical generating AMI transmission
plant in the world. Power will be sold
so cheap. the officials say, that it will be
possible to establish industries Of every
sort in the State.
