"Any farmer" says Mr.. Pierce
who will destroy his cotton stalks by
the first of November, will force the
weevil to leave his field, and will not
be greatly bothered by the weevil be
fore the first of August, 1910, when
his crop should be out of danger.
1.-THE reasons for asking the farm
ers to destroy their cotton stalks are
several. In the first place, the weevi1
must have cotton squares or bolls tc
feed upon until frost. The removal
of this food supply causes the insects
to abandon any given field.
THE second reason is that the des
truction of the stalks removes the
winter shelter of the weevils.
1.-THE third reason is to have the
field in good condition to start an
early crop next year"
To complete the scheme for making
cotton despite the boil weevil, the
planting of early varieties of cotton,
early and intensive cultivation are
recommended. When these are done
the terrors of the boil weevil are large
ly removed, and the farmer who heeds
the advice need have no fear of Sc
rious injury from that source.

minister for some financial assistance

GREETED that he could not afford to
assist the Highlander, but advised him
to visit wealthy layman in the city.
The latter was not only disinclined to
give, but ungracious in manner.
Nettled at his reception, the High

ing the tone, the rich man asked:
And whom do you take me for?" "A
hell deserving sinner, like myself"
came the quick retort. Returning to
DR.. Whyte. he explained the circum-
stances. You did not say that?''

Has Covered More Mississippi Ter

Before.
Special TO the Mems.

JACKSON, Miss, October 19.-The
movement of the boil weevil has GOV.
cred more Mississippi area during the
past thirty days than during all the
year up to a month ago, according to
map prepared by Mr.. w. Dwight
Pierce, first assistant to Mr.. w. d.
Hunter, in charge of the Southern
Field Crop Insect Inspection work of
the Bureau of Entomology, United
States Department of Agriculture.
So great is the importance of the
recent discoveries made by Mr.. Pierce
who has ben assisted by Mr.. Tucker
OF his own department, and Prof. r.
w. Harmed, entmologist at the A. &
M. College at Starkville, that Mr..
Pierce today deviated from his usual
rule of reticence and consented to an
interview upon these results, telling
not only the places where the weevil
has been found during the past
month, but how every farmer in the
infested territory may make sure by
acting quickly, that he will not be Sc.
riously troubled with the weevil next
year..

Plentiful About jackson.

AT Roadside, in Yazoo county, and
at Jackson, where the weevil was
found last year but had disappeared
this year. no weeVils have been
found, although they are plentiful
around this city in other places.
these sporadic cases, however, caus-
ed the line to be greatly extended
last year, and without them the line,
for 1908 would run several miles fur
Their west.
The principal points of entry for
the weevil from Louisiana were
around Natchez and below Red river
For this reason there has been little
movement north OF these points, ow-
ing to the fact that little cotton is
grown on the Louisiana side Just
above Natchez and few weevils have
crossed over. The result is that,
while the distance covered during the
year has been eighty-five miles east

New Infested Points.

The investigation of 1908 showed
that the weevil had not then crossed
Pearl river on its westward flight,
and that it had barely got over the
Illinois Central railroad at one or
two points. Since then it has tray
eled fully seventy-five miles eastward
and during the past month has spread
from its former eastern extremity in
Pearl River and Hancock counties,
until it has reached almost into the
heart OF Harrison, and in the south
west corner Of Perry, with only one
county to cross to reach the Alabama
line. There has been little spread
north of Jackson, and the present en-
IRENE line of infestation runs from a
point a few miles south of Greenvile,
in Washington county, almost on a
straight southwestern line through
Jackson, leaving Hattiesburg ten
miles to the east, to Virgins, in
Harrison county, with an imaginary
line to Deauvoir, near Biloxi. The
insect has been found at numerous
places along the Gulf G. Ship Island
railroad.
Among the points where he has
been recently found are Glen Allen,
Washington county; Rolling Fork,
Sharkey county; Holly Bluff, Yazoo
county; Satartia, Yazoo county;
Jackson, three miles north and three
miles south, but not east of Pey'l
river; one mile south of Cate, Rankin
county; Braxton, D'Lo and Menden-
hall, Simpson county; all through
Jefferson Davis sounty; Mt. Olive.
Covington county; three miles east
of Mt. Olive. around Clyde, in Lamar
and Forrest counties; four miles east
of Purvis, Lamar county, four miles
west of Brooklyn, two miles west of
Make, at Helena and north and
south of Bond, Harrison county.
The insect is also believed to be in
the southwest corner of Smith and in
the southwest corner of Perry. al
though no investigation has been
made in either place. Both are per-
ilously near the line of infestation
already determined.

FIRE CLAY AS FOUND IN NEVADA

Clay, which is one of the most
widely distributed materials and n
of the most valuable from an econo-
mic standpoint, is a fine grained mix
ture of the mineral kaolinite with
fragments of other minerals such as
s~ilicates, oxides, and hydrates, and
also often organic compounds; the
mass possessing Elasticity when wet
and becoming rock when heated to a
temperature of redness. =
The term, f%ireclay, is used as a
name for the claps, which have re-
factory qualities, sufficient to enable
them t. resist high temperature. 1t is
used in the technical arts, mostly in
the construction of furnaces, cruel
bles and glass melting pots.
Fireclay beds are found in the
rocks of all ages. In the eastern
states where clays are mined extern
sively, they not only support a thriv-
ing industry, but they serve also as a
source of supply for clay factories in
other states. Fireclays are also
found in the Black Hills of South
Dakota; in the Laramie beds of
Colorado, in California, and; accord
ing to recent reports near this city.
With the exception of the beds
near Denver, which are used to sup
ply material for the manufacture. of
friedrich and assayers' clayware, the
deposits named are as yet but slight
ly developed.

mines and that the situation was very

While there is nothing new of note
at the mine, work is being attended
by such results as expected from the
line of development being pursued
and the property looks very favor
able.
Mr.. Humphreys states that the Ely
district continues to hold much at
tention wherever mining is the sub
ject of interest and discussion. Con-
fidence in the camp is very high and
the belief general that the year will
witness the accomplishment of a
great deal here, both as to mining
and in general industrial and bust
ness progress. No camp in the west
is held to enjoy brighter outlook.
