Boil Weevil Found In Stalks.

Commissioner of Agriculture Guy B. Tucker has received a package con- taining several boil weevils that have been found in the cotton stalks in Drew county. The boil weevil, which is very destructive to cotton crops, is found almost entirely in the boil of the cotton plant, but according to the letter which accompanied the package containing the boil weevils, the latter are found in Drew county in the stalk and not in the boil.
 The letter follows
 "NIr. Guy B. Tucker, Little Rock, Ark:
 Dear Sir-I am sending you by mail, under separate cover, two speci- mems of a weeyil we have here. Will you kindly advise us if you know this to be cotton boil weevil, or is it a less harmful weevil?
 This gentleman is here in abun- dance and we are, of course, little curious to know his specie.
 The ones mailed you were taken from the roots of cotton plant at or near the top of the ground. In every instance we find him In the pith or center of the stalk.
 Awaiting your reply and thanking you in advance, 1 am,
 YOurS truly

Hot Springs, Va, summer outing place
in the heart of the Virginia mountains,
where they will spend the next two
months and Mr.. Taft will make ready for
the strenuous work of the presidential

variety OF glttering generalities. He de-
clared that Prouty would be the peer Of
any governor in business ability that Yer
mont has ever had and in his character
the peer Of any that could be named in
any commonwealth.
The first seconding speech was by
James Fisk Hooker of Bratteboro for
Mr. Prouty. Mr. Hooker said he spoke
in behalf Of fully one-half Of Windham
county r. Searls of ST. Johnsbury, who
seconded Prouty thought 1t had been
demonstrated that business man made
a better governor than lawyer F. c.
Dyer of Salisbury spoke for Addison
county, saying he represented 80 dele
gates. A. e. Cudworth of South Lon
donderry set the Stanton camp into &C.
stacies by seconding the Roxbury man on
behalf of a great majority from Windham
county +. b. Finn of Springfield handed
a similar bouquet from Windsor county.
The hit of the day was made by Rev
+. ]. Ranslow of Enosburg, who spoke
for Stanton on behalf of a good number
from Franklin county He said Mr.. Stan
ton came before the people with record
and not with money. He deprecated the
paid political advertisements in the news
papers. He told the story of the little
girl in Brattleboro, who testified in the
balloon shooting case that she heard a
voice from above saying 'Nhat IN hell are
you doing down there?' The convention
was convused with laughter when he
reached this point Mr.. Ranslow said a
rebuke must come to present political
methods or there will come a question
which will emOody the essential features
of the words waited down in Brattleboro
from the balloon.

oIeomargaflne Must Bear the Govern
ment Inspection dark.

a''SNNNAAS'a
The law imposing a tax on oleomar-
garine colored to initiate butter was sup
plemented by an act of Congress requir-
ing the inspection of oleomargarine, and
the department of agriculture recently
ruled that under this statute the product
in question should bear a mark showing
that 1t had been inspected. The oleo
people took exceptions to this ruling, and
in order to settle the question Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson held a hearing last
week at which representatives of both
oleomargarine and dairy interests were
present. After listening to the presen-
tation of both sides of the case Secretary
Wilson took the case under consideration
and on Saturday his decision was pub
lished to the effect that the statute with
reference to the placing of the govern
ment mark of inspection on oleomargarine
was clear, admitting of only one construc-
ton, and the recent ruling of the depart
ment calling for the use of this mark
must stand.
