DOSE WEEvIL WITH LEAD
WAR ON COTTON DESTROYER
WILL BE ON IN EARNEST.
Battle, Too, Will Be Made
Against Cattle Ticks, Which Cost
Mississippi Millions.

Mississippi is campaigning against
the boil weevil armies and the cattle
tick brigades.
At the Farmers Institute at Match
ez last week there was a full dis
cussion of the Mexican cotton boil
weevil. Prof. Newell, SECRETARY of
the Louisiana Crop Pest Commission,
read an extended paper on "Arse-
nate Of Lead as a Boil Weevil Poi
son"
Conferences have been held on a
proposed experiment with the arse
nate of lead. One thousand attended
the meeting to learn how to put the
lead to work and kill off the weevil
After this meeting it is expected
that the farmers will at once go into
battle with the weevil, with full con-
fidence that they have the ammuni-
ton at hand to destroy them.
The tick eradication movement
goes forward. The little tick has
cost the people of Mississippi mil
lions of dollars a year. The official
bulletin of the Mississippi depart
ment of agriculture and Commerce
says:
The quarantine line is now down
to the Mississippi line on the north
and we cannot ship or drive cattle
into Tennessee. The only pens that
we can use in the northern markets
are what are known as the quaran-
tine pens, where the cattle are only
allowed to be sold for immediate
slaughter. Alabama and Louisiana
are clearing their territory of ticks.
The work of tick eradication mas
already been commenced in five couh-
ties of north Mississippi, ana Vlll De
extended to others as soon as these
are cleared.

FIGURES ON FERTILIZERS.
Annual Bulletin Issued by State De.
partment of Agriculture.

paftment OF Agriculture.
The annual fertilizer bulletin OF
the state department of agriculture
has been received by The News. The
report contains some Interesting fig
ures in connection with the sales of
fertilizers in Georgia for each year
since the inspection law went into
effect, beginning with the season of
1874-75, when the department had to
handle only 10 different brands and
the total sales of the state aggre-
gated but 4S,648 tons
From that time on there has been
a gradual increase year by year, and
more particularly since the farmers
began to sell their cotton seed to the
oil mills instead of using it as fer
tilizer, until during the season of
19O7-08, just closed the department
has had to analyze and inspect 1922
brands, and the total sales for the
season were 842,775.5 tons, the Iarg-
est in the states history.
Up to this season the season of
1905-'06 held the record with sales
of 838,5595 tons, while there was
"a slight drop during the season of
19O6-'07 to 78G,736.5 tons There
are no sales between now and Oct.
/, when the new fertilizer season
opens.

THE SOLONS GET A SHOCK
SOME OF THEM TRIED TO DRAW
THEIR PER DIEM FIRST DAY.
Were Mortified When Informed They
Might Have to Serve Through
Extra Session Without Pay.

Are the members of the general
assembly facing the necessity of
serving through the extra session of
the legislature without pay, not even
mileage for the expense of going to
and returning from the capital?
Happening to recall that no APP
preparation had been made for the
session and nothing said in the call
about such a bill being passed State
Treasurer r. E. Park turned down
all applications for money made by
the lawmakers.
Before the rolls of the two houses
had been called several members
called at the treasurers office to col
lect mileage or pay in advance
Each admitted he was rather hard
up and needed the money. One con
fessed that his available monetary
assets at the time consisted of a
twenty-five cent piece.
The first was given the money by
the treasurer, but after he had gone
and others came, making a similar
demand, the treasurer began tC
think, reaching the conclusion that
in the absence of an appropriation
he might be called on to refund all
the money he was paying out Then
the state till was closed, and all
/ requests for cash were referred to
the encouragement
Until Judge Hart passes upon the
question involved those members
who are short on cash will have to
seek aid from friends or pawn their
jewelry. And if the encouragement
holds that the money cannot be paid
out except on regular appropriation
the members may have to prove true
patriots and serve their state without
financial reward.
Without questioning the patriot
ism of the members such a ruling
would in all probability bring the
session to close at the earliest pos
sible time.
Before the house adjourned Joe
Hall introduced a resolution provid-
ing for the appointment of three
members on a committee to make an
investigation

Among the Former Savages, With

PAWHUSKA, Okla, August %
The red man as a religious power in
the new state is a matter not gem
orally considered outside it's boun-
laries, vet the Indian, when con-
VERIFIED is deeply religious and enjoys
more so even than the average white
man the privilege of holding and at
tending religious meetings. His
preference, however, is for camp
meetings, as this form more closely
resembles the customary religious
convictions held by the tribes be-
fore their conversion to christianity.
Annually it is the custom for the
MethOdists and Baptists, in particu-
lar, to hold camp meetings for the
Indian tribes, among whom they
have been doing missionary work.
The KioWas and Comanches are es-
peCially favorable to these Open-air
meetings each summer, and attend
in great numbers.
The Catholics hold first place in
doing missionary work among the
Indians of the southwest, with the
MethOdists and Baptists close to-
gether for second place and the
Presbyterians and Episcopalians
punched for third position. Recent
congressional action has given all
these denominations the control and
ownership of the church and school
lands, which they have improved by
The erection of buildings thereon,
thus recognizing the church as q
great civilizing power among the In
dlans. All these denominations have
numerous schools and churches for

state, and occasionally may be found

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 27.-Judge Taft
and William J. Bryan exchanged cour-
tesies here today. Bryan arrived here
Immediately sent one of the men trav-
cling with him to the West hotel with
a message to Judge Taft that he would
be glad to call on him at the hotel at
$50 in the afternoon. Taft sent word
to the democratic leader that he would
be glad to see him at that time. Taft
spoke at the dedication of a new Y. NJ
G. A. building in st. Paul at 2.30 o'clock
and he hurried back in an automobile
to keep his engagement with Bryan
When he arrived at the hotel he
found a message from the Nebraskan
which said that Bryan was very sorry,
but that he had forgotten that he had a
dinner engagement at $40. Bryan sug-
gested that if it was convenient for
Taft he would drop in at the hotel on
his way to the railroad station about
o'clock and shake hands with him.
Taft, however, had an engagement to
speak before the congregation of the
Fowler Methodist Episcopal church
here in the evening, and sent Colonel
Daniel, ,Ransden, sergeant at arms Of
the United States senate, who has per-
sonal charge of the Taft train. to ex-
plain the situation to Bryan and con-
vey his regrets. This Colonel RansdelI
did Bryan expressed his regret at
missing an opportunity TO greet Taft.
and, after inquiring about the condi-
tion Of Taft's voice. said that he hoped
he would speedily recover.
Bryan, while he was in the city
stopped at the home of John Lind. for
mer governor of Minnesota Bryan's
arrival in the city was signalized by
vociferous cheers from a great crowd
which had assembled at the station At
St Paul he was met by f. B. Lynch,
national committeeman, and escorted
here. Because of the fact that Governor
Johnson had speaking engagement in
St Paul, he was unable to meet the
Democratic candidate. En- route from
Milwaukee to this place, Bryan was
greeted by several large crowds. who
cheered him and demanded that he
make a speech Bryan informed his
hearers that Sunday was his only day
of rest and it was his invariabIe rule
not to make political talks on that day.
In the frantic struggle OF the crowd at
the station here to- get TO him and
shake his hand a man had his arm
broken.
Bryan left tonight over the Omaha
branch of the Chicago and Northwest
ern for Mitchell. s. d. a.
Taft's Y. NJ. C. a. speech in st. Paul
was before a large audience. At the
conclusion of his speech Taft held a
reception, meeting. among others. about

was in the audience. He is just getting
back from hunting trip in the north

THE same day the governor left the
state to go to Denver the Prairie com
pany started TO trespass. This, L be-
lieve, was prearrangeds between the
governor and the Prairie company, as
the Prairie company rushed the laying
the governor from the state.
Il wired the governor on the 1St of
July asking whether he had given the
Prairie oil company permission to build
their line His reply evaded my ques-
ton and instead of answering it he
said that he was satisfied that the
Prairie company would not violate the
law.
PERSONAL MOTIVE CHARGED
Between the 22d of April and the
Cd of July Governor Haskell received
no advice from me, as his legal ad-
wiser, as to the matter, and If he
had received advice from his assistant
attorney general he did not do me the
honor Of submitting the same TO me.
When he heard of the bringing of
the suit he directed the acting gov
and indulged in insolent language to
the effect that he would not tolerate
any proceeding by me except at his
direction.
regarding me, together with his sud-
den change of heart between April and
July, evidences that some very deep
and controlling motive of personal
nature was back of his action.
The only person that the prohibi-
tions could help was the Standard oil
company. and that he hazarded as
much as he did for them. as he did
plies the necessary factor for any in
telligent man to reckon whether the
governor of Oklahoma has leaning
toward the Standard oil company, and
or ot af1f
seems to be a very mild rebuke.

OPPOSED TO DEMAGOGUERY

against the law and against every
principle of honesty and fair dealing.
Disseminated in favor of the Standard
oil corporation. Failure to see the
distinction between the two cases indi-
Gates moral rather than mental OBJ
tuseness.
I believe in radical reforms, and the
movement for such reforms can be sue
cessful only If it frowns on the denIa-
gogue as it does on the corrup ptionist;
if it shows itself as far removed from
government by mob as from govern
ment by plutocracy.
OF all corruption the most far reach
ing for evil is that which hides itself
behind a mask of furious demagoguery,
seeking to arouse and to pander to the
baSest passions of mankind. No better
exemplification of this type of corrup-
tion could be found than In the case
of Mr. Haskell.
You have uttered no word of con-
demnation of Haskellism. as we thus
see it. That you consciously sought
to bring IL about ! do not believe. That
II was the natural result of the effort
to apply in practice your teachings
have no question. Yours truly.
