said: This is the season when
the boil weevil can be gwen the
the heaviest setback and next
years cotton crop protected.
The damage to this years crop
has already been done, but the
crop for next year, as far as
the boil weevil is concerned, can
practically be insured by des'
troying the weevils now.
"The cotton throughout the
southern portion of Texas has
already been picked, while in
other sections it is being picked
out rapidly. The custom for
merly has been to leave the
plants standing in the field, after
the cotton is picked, and allow
all the immature bolls to develop.
In these late, and at the present,
immature bolls, there is contained
innumerable thousands of boil
weevils to every acre. which will
simply go into winter quarters
and come out next spring to re
sumo their work of damage.
1T just happens that the
weevils which are able to go
through the winter weather are
the ones maturing late in the
fall, and the majority of the
weevils that go through this sea-
son can be killed outright if the
farmers will simply pull up and
burn the plant as soon as the
cotton is picked from it. 1t is
true there would be some little
cotton wasted by reason of the
immature hollis remaining, but
this sacrifice would be more than
Offset by the gain in next year S
CROP"
DR.. Hunter gave four reasons
why the stalks should be des-
troyed in the fall which are as
follows:
Il. Fall destruction prevents
absolutely the development of a
multitude of weevils which would
otherwise become adult within
a few weeks of the time of hiber
nation. The destruction of the
immature stages of weevil in
infested squares and hollis is
accomplished. while the further
growth of squares, which may
become infested later, is also
prevented. This stops material
ly the development of weevils
which would normally hiber-
nate successfully; and by thus
decreasing the number of vice.
wills which will emerge in the
spring, the chances for a sue
cessful crop the following sea
son are very greatly increased.
2. A proper manipulation
of the stalks will bring about the
destruction of a great majority
of the weevils which are already
adult. This will be accompanied
partly by causing the starvation
of many weevils before the
natural time for Information, and
partly by exposure to severe colo
during the fall and winter.
% It has been shown con.
clusively that the bulk Of the
weevils which survive the winter
are those which reach maturity
late IN the season. It is evident
that the weevils which pass the
winter and attack the crop of
the following season are among
those developed latest in the fall,
and which in consequence of
that fact have not exhausted

Brilliant AIpine Flora.

Comparisons made by Dr.. Dufour
show that the superior purity and
splendor of floral colors in the Alps
are not imaginary or a mere effect of
contrast. The reds. blues and yellows
of the mountain blossoms are much
more intense than those of the same
species of flowers grown Mt ordinary
levels. The leaves also have a deeper
and richer green, and microscopic ex-
animation shows that chlorophyl is
more abundant III Alpine plants than
in those of the plains. One fact which
seems quite natural. yet is very inter-
esting. is that on the mountain plants
have relatively small aerial organs and
larger subterranean ones. Thus a
graceful flower which in the plains Is
seen nodding at the summit of an as
piring stem will be found high on the
mountain slopes hugging the soil, an
chored by comparatively heavy roots
and beaming up with accumulated
beauty from the ground.-Pearson's

Taft and Denecn.

Republicans, many of them who I'M
derstand the situation, admit the prob
ability of the defeat of Governor De-
neen. At the republican headquarters
in Chicago they have made the signifi-
cant statement that if Taft runs 100,-
600 votes ahead of Deneen in this state
Deneen is beaten.
Just what totals they figure on or
what vote they take as a standard
matters little. 1t is important, how
ever, that they expect Deneen to run
100000 votes behind the presidential
candidate.
This means that Deneen is over
whelmingly defeated.
Taft will unquestionably run ahead
of Deneen, but while Deneen is admit.
tedly weak. Taft's unpopularity must
also be considered. Democrats have
good reason to place Illinois in the
doubtful class as to whether it will
be in the republican or democratic
presidential column this fall
So, with Taft none too sure of car
rying the state. and with Deneen ad.
nittedly 100000 votes weaker than
Taft what show on earth has Deneen
of election.
But anyway. perhaps Deneen would
rather go back to Chicago and run for
states attorney again. That Office ne
has found to be so much more re-
munerative than the gubernatorial

\ Little More of the Contrast.

The contrast in attendance between
meeting held in Rock Island this week
in connection with the Rock Island
Exposition is generally admitted
While Bryan and Monnett spoke in
the evening with the weather cold
and a stiff cutting wind blowing,
Sherman and Longworth had the ad-
vantage of balmy afternoon at the
same place. the Island City ball park
opposite the Exposition grounds. But
Bryan's audience numbered at least
five times that which heard the presi-
dents son-in-iaw, and the .;unning
mate of Mr.. Taft. This fact will be
admitted by any fair-minded person,
as has heretofore been stated, who
attended both meetings.
But just little more of the con-
trast. Mr.. Bryans address was of
the argumentative. forceful kind. ex-
temEoraneous, and every point driven
home with the force of logic and elo-
quence. Mr.. Bryan made a wonderful
impression.

teresting and without effect.
| The Argus is glad that Rock Island
has been SO honored by the presence
of all these distinguished gentlemen
during Exposition week, and the few
remarks here made on the contrast OF
the TWO meetings are not TO be taken
as il disparagement of the republican
efforts Or as indicative of an inhos
pitable spirit. They are simply b.

The Steel Trust Charge.

lions could only do so by cutting off
competition by means of the tariff
and persuading congressman TO pass

But while this is an old story of
old wrong, which yet continues-to
