THE BOIL WEEVIL IN LAFA-
YETTE.

The invasion of the parish by
the boil weevil, which has come
to stay, has created a new con
ditiou in the cultivation of cotton.
But fortunately the condition
can DE be satisfactorily met, for
while the boil weevil is a serious
pest. experience in other sections
with the insect has dem0nstra-
ted the ability of the cotton
planters to overcome his de-
structiveness and raise a good
crop in spite of him.
And the method of dealing
with the boil weevil is not
complicated; on the contrary. it
is very simple. The principal
requirement is to use all possible
means to decrease the number
alternating Or sleeping through
the winter. TO accomplish this,
it is advised to destroy all cotton
stalks, cut up and pillow under, or
burn, before frost, and so .starve
the bugs before the Information
period arrives. In connection
with this clean out weeds and
cut cherokee hedges which
serve as places for Information.
Plant early an early variety of
cotton and watch all squares that
fall and destroy them, thus kill
ing the larvae of the weevils
which have survived the winter.
If this couse is thoroughly fol-
lowed the weevil will be rendered
practically harmless.
The coming of the weevil
could have been dispensed with.
but since he would come, it
should be q source Of satisfac.
tivn, if not consolation, that
others who have encountered the
pest in the past have met him
and defeated him, and we, too
face to face with the same eremy
can as successfully. go and do
likewise.

The coming engagement of
Florence Davis. with Elliott Dex-
ter and other capable players in
her support, is sure to be well
come by captious theatre goers,
as her annual visits to this and
other cities of the South have
coined to be marked as impor-
tant theatrical events. Her re-
turn this year will be doubly
notable because of the unprec.
edented success rumored of her
in the new comedy. Under the
Green wood Tree" in which she
is to be seen at the Jefferson
Theatre on Monday, Sept. 81.
This is q verdant comedy of the
woodlands. laid in the present
day. but fanciful in the extreme.
described as a sort of modern
fairy tale, in uhich the noted
playwright. Henry ". Esmond.
is said to have embodied some of
his brightest ideas, happiest
thoughts and cleverest comedy
lines and situations.

MT. Hood DEVELOPMENT League.

Last Saturday evening the public
spirited citizens of Mount Hood met
at Gribbles hall and perfected the Or
ganization of the Mount Hood Devel
opment League, with the object Of
advancing the interests OF the upper
Hood River valley.
Ihe officers elected we're: President,
L. II. Larwood; vice president, G.
M. Wishart seer etary- treasurer, II.
B. Langille. The first work undeI-
taken was the appointment of com.
mittee composed of A. M. Kelly, J.
l. Langills and j. M. Lenz to circu-
late subscription list to raise funds
for the purpose OF constructing the
new Dumas road, about three and
one half miles long, which will follow
the grade Of Neal creek and avoid the
long and difficult climbing of Straight
and Booth hills. and giving a "trct.
ting grade" from the lower to the up
per valleys. The repair of the pres.
ent road st several places badly in
need OF it win also be urged by an
other committee.
There is a strong determination to
make the securing of good roads one
of the principal objects of the organi-
zation, and to secure as soon as pos
sible relief from the present unfor-
tunate conditions In that regard.
After considerable discussions the
meeting adjourned until next Satnr-
day evening at 7:30, at the same
place, to hear reports OF various com.
mittees, etc.
All citizens of the upper valley are
strongly urged to be present and as.
sist in the advancement of the inter
ests OF that section.
