THE BOIL KEEVIL.
Burn Your Cotton Stalks Early Reasons
Why.


From the time the boil weevil
first entered West Texas. which
was in 1902. until the present. the
work done by the Bureau of En-
tomology in all of its experiments,
points clearly to the supreme inn
portance of this method Of control,
the early burning Of the cotton
stalks.
In Calhoun county. Texas. the
stalks growing on 41G acres of land
were destroyed early in October.
Carefully kept records showed an
increased production of more than
a quarter of bale per acre over
the check area where the work was
not done, or $14.56 per acre at cur
rent prices of cotton in favor of
early stalk destruction. This was
20 times the cost of uprooting and
burning. Some of the most vital
reasons follow:
First, "Hordes of adult weevlls,
many for each plant in the field,
are killed outright.
Second. Many more weevils in
immature stages, possibly as many
as hundred for each plant in the
field, are also killed"
Third. The few adult weevils es-
Gaping will be weakened by starva-
tion and the great majority will
not have sufficient strength to get
through the winter. -
Fourth. The development of the
late broods, which experiments
have shown furnish the vast major
ity of the weevils that pass through
the winter, is cut off Immediately.
In this way hundreds of weevils
that would develop from each plant
are absolutely prevented from SO
doing.
Fifth. The removal of the in
tested plants with the weeyils facil-
itates fall or early winter plowing,
which is the best possible procedure
in raising cotton. Moreover. this
plowing greatly assists in the pro-
duction of an early crop Of cotton
the next season.
TAKE WARNING -SPROUT AND
VOLUNTEER COTTON.
By Investigations in the fields
the writer finds that on account of
the late storm nearly all of the cot
ton stalks are leaning andtherefere
are beginning to send out upright,
tender, rapid growing sprouts.
The occurrence of such cotton in
Southern Texas and occasionally in
Southern Louisiana is there the
most important local difficulty in
the control of the boil weevil."
These sprout plants could be instru-
mental in helping over hundreds
of weevils, so uproot your stalks.
A great deal of cotton. especially
from varieties that were not storm
resistent, was blown out and scat
tered on the ground.
Many Of the seed of this blown
out cotton have not only come up
and are growing young plants, but
are found to be harborIng numbers
of weevils and possibly furnishing
them some food supply. Plow ear
iy and get rid of them.

HUSBAND REFUSED TO
WORK AFTER MARRIAGE
Mrs. FeIice Bauchau Secures
Divorce From Lazy Spouse

Work to John Peter Bauchau. accord
ing to the claims of his wife, Mrs. Felie
Bauchau, who secured divorce from
him in Judge Graham court yesterday,
was something which her lord and
master abhorred. She testified that
while before marriage he was quite
willing to earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow, he relapsed into a state of
pleasurable idleness when the matri-
.monial knot had been tied.
Such were his views on the subject
of work, she said, that he allowed her
to do all the toll necessary for two.
She testified that after a fairly long
spell of love and drudgery she awak-
ened from her romantic dream and,
packing up her clothes, left his roof
tree
The following divorce suits were fled
yesterday:
Mary Touts from Ray r. Touts on
the ground of desertion; John H. Col

INJUNCTION STOPS
MINORITY MEETING
Majority OF Stock Holders in Old
Mission Oil Company Out
wit Insurgents
Elect New Board of Directors,
While Restraining Order
Checks Warning Faction

To prevent the holding of meeting
Old Mission oil company, a subsidiary
company of the Palmer oil company.
which figured prominently in the
courts Monday, Fred w. Hall, a stock
holder in the Old Mission company
and representative of the majority
stock holders. secured an injunction
from Judges Murasky and Mogan yes
terday. and while the injunction was
in effect the majority elected it's board
of directors and apparently settled the
battle which has been convulsing the
directorate of the two companies.
The injunction granted yesterday re-
strained Victor Engineer, j. c. Ramp
van Ee and William Henshaw from
holding meeting scheduled to take
place at 2 o'clock, also restraining
them from preventing Hall from cast
? ing his votes according to the number
of shares in his name.
Hall is allied with the majority and
the restraining order secured by him
was only move on the part of the
majority to prevent the minority hold
ing a meeting before the majority held
it's meeting, because, as explained by
one of the directors yesterday. the
minority might have been able to Sc
cure sufficient proxies to elect its own
people.
The officers elected were: Frank l.
Brown, president: Lewis A. Hflborn
vice president; H. C. Strstton, secre-
tary, and ]. C. Kemp van Ee and w. G.
Henshaw, directors.
The only change is that in the office

the company who would talk yesterday

The Youths directory headquarters
were also besieged with inquiries dur
ing the day and those in charge were
busy receiving visitors and answering
telephone messages. At the same Tune
plans were being urged forward to
continue the campaign for funds with
which to carry out Father Crowley's
ambition Of Hquidating the debt on the
new building by the time the struc-
ture is ready for occupancy.
NEW BUILDING IS NEEDED
With It's present attendance of about
80 boys, the Youths directory is
cramped in it's present quarters and
the new building is needed at the
earliest possible date. 1t has received
loyal support from all sides. and those
in charge have hopes that Father
Crowley's plans will be carried out in
full, even without his personal as
sistance.
On the occasion of Archbishop Rior-
dams last visit to Rome he was &C
companied by Father Crowley and at
that time the lat ar explained person

nonsectarian home for homeless boys
which he had founded. Pope Plus was
so impressed by Father Crowley's de-
scription of the work being accom-
plished that he gave him an autograph
letter which is among the choicest pos
sessions of the Youths directory to-
day.
At Golden Rule hall at Ito Silver
street the home of the California pris-
on commission, a special prayer serv-
ice under the leadership OF Captain
william 1. Day, superintendent OF the
commission, was held last night for
Father Crowley's speedy recovery. Cap
tain Day announced early yesterday
morning his intention to turn the reg
ular Tuesday evening meeting into a
prayer service where persons of all
faiths could join in supplicating that
Father Crowley might be restored to
health, and as result the hall was
well filled with Representatives of many
religious sects.

speakers referred in the highest terms

The festival committee believes that
merchants and property owners should
awaken to consideration q just how
their stores and buildings will be
decked for the big festival. To
delay any longer may mean the loss
of one of the proffered prizes to be
awarded for the most successful pri-
vate displays.
WORK NOW IN PROGRESS
Work on the decoration and illu-
minatfon of the streets is already in
progress and the result will far sur
pass any of the former successes along
this line for which San Francisco has
always been noted.
The prizes offered by the Portola
committee for the most beautifully
decorated exteriors will probably
bring about a great deal of friendly
competition. in the downtown business
district. There are to be two sets of
prizes, one to be awarded for the night
display and one for the day display.
The first prize for the day will be 5000.
the second prize 800 and the third
$50. The best illuminative display will
be awarded a prize of 500 and the sec
ond best will receive $50

be purely a Pacific coast attraction

CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS
An energetic campaign to raise funds
