THE GAY-sHATTUCK LAW.

-
If as has been decreed BY the Su-
&C. Court Of Louisiana, the Gay
Shattuck law is not operative against
the saloon which has been in existence
prior e January I, 1909; and, it there
fore such a saloon is exempt from and
i relieved of the requirements of the
law which provides the obtaining OF a
sermit for selling intoxicating liquors
and which excludes the opening OF
saloon within three hundred feet OF
eh,,rch or a school, it follows from
= common sense view that this law IS
delusion, travesty of justice in its I'M
fairness when measured squarely IN the
scales Of equity and should be repealed
= the first sitting of the General As
sembiy.
Under the construction Of the law
there is created an exclusive monopoly
Of the liquoE traffic to the saloons and

IN iERESTING REPORT BY CROP
PEST COMMISSION.
MANSURA EXPERIMENTS
AS the Weather Becomes Warmer the
"eevils Emerge IRON Their ifiber-
hating Quarters in the Cages at d
Faster and Faster Rate.

baton Rouge, La, March ,o-The
o'ate crop Pest Commission has re
eeised many requests for information
as 10 how It's experiments at Ma1lsllra.
La IN studying the Information and
spring ernergence OF the boil weevlls. are
enoing out. Accordingly. the Co,nnlis-
sion today gave out the following state
rent:
The experiments, in large cages, at
Aansura were instituted for the pur-
pose OF finding out what per cent Of the
weevils survive the winter in central
Louisiana. At different times in the All
t1iInH of 1908 d total OF 1o,2SI weevils
were collected in the cotton fields about
Mahsura and placed in large wire cloth
cages. each cage containing stumps,
corn stalks, grass. etc. in which the
weevils could find average winter pro
lection. These cages are now being ex-
ahmed twice daily and at each exarni-
nation the weevils out OF the trash and
active are removed from the cage and
counted
A number of planters have expressed
the desire that the observations and
figures on this emergence of weevils be
given to the public from time to time.
Accordingly We will try to furnish a
report to the newspaper about every
ten days or two weeks
The first weevils began to leave their
winter quarters in the cages as early as
February IS. Uh to March 18th. oS6 or
per cent of the original number placed
IN the cages last fall had emerged
The experiment is SO arranged that
the percentage of weevils surviving the
winter can be determined when the cot
ton plants are destroyed at different
dates in the fall Weevils taken from
the field on, say, October I and placed
have the same chance for living to the
following spring as they would have If
allowed to remain in the field and all
cotton plants destroyed October /.
Following are the results up to March
e, 1909: Of the weevils collected from
THE fields on September %, 1908. 1-63
per cent have emerged from hiberna
ton; of those collected October IL, 3.44:
Of those collected October 70, o. 70: col
lected October 26, 5.51; collected No
venlber 2, o.88; collected November 9,
S. s.; collected November 16, SIT; col
lected November 70, S. SO; collected No
vember 80, IL 80; collected December
7, 8.6z; collected December Ii. I4.6;
collected December Fl, oI.53.
The most striking thing about this
emergence thus far is the enormous
percentage surviving the winter OF the
weevils collected in December. This
seems to indicate that the farmer who
failed to destroy his cotton plants reas-
onably early last fall will this year have
to contend with dangerously heavy in
festation.
As the weather becomes warmer the
weevils emerge from their alternating
caarters in the cages at faster and
lister rate. On cool days very few
ernerxe. but on warm days the emerg-
enoe IS rapid.
