To secure the fine luster on cows
horns when they are to be exhibited

Careful investigations by the depart
ment of agriculture IN southern cotton
growing states show a considerable
and very satisfactory decrease In the
numbers of the cotton boil weevi.
which is by. all odds the worst pest
that the growers OF this great staple
have to contend with. While the de.
crease In number OF the insects may
be due in part TO causes not known, a
considerable portion OF the change is
thought to be due to the unfavorable
weather last fall. especially to the first
early killing frost.

People often wonder, particularly
those who have Travelled for hundreds
OF miles through the corn belt, what
becomes OF the enormous amount of
corn which is grown every year. The
Crop Reporter for June seeks to an
swer this query. Some OF the Stats
ties presented are Of interest. In the
year 1890. when the total crop was
2,6e6,o0000o bushels. PAL. 600, 600 bush.
els were consumed In -four and grIst-
mill products, 100000 bushels in the
manufacture OF starch, 100000 for
malt liquors. 100000 bushels In the
production OF distilled liquors, 10000
600 for glucose. 100000 for export
and 100000 for seed, making n total
OF 51S,oO0,0Oo bushels. or 1913 per cent
Of the entire crop. The remaining so. Z
per cent, or 2, las, 000,OO bushels, seems
to have been used almost entirely for
feeding purposes. II Is an interesting
fact that about so per cent OF the
corn crop grown. roughly the above
amount. was shipped out OF the coun.
ties In which II was grown.
