Charlotte, N. c., May 21.-
President Taft has come to the
conclusion from consultations with
leaders Of both the senate and
the house that the tariff bill will
be in his hands not later than
June 20. The president express
ed himself positively on the sub
ject today. Taft adheres to the
belief that when the bill does
come from conference it will con-
stitute a "revision of the tariff"
in the generally accepted sense
and that it will be such measure
as will warrant his signature as
step in the right direction.

THE COTTON BOIL WORM.

The Cotton Boil Worm. The
most important insect enemy of
cotton in the United States, aside
from the boil weevil, is the boil
worm. This pest has existed in this
country for many years and fre-
quently reduces the crop very con
siderably. The annual damage to
cotton in the United States by the
boil worm has been conservatively
estimated at over $4,000, 900. In
addition to the injury to cotton this
insect Is a very important enemy to
corn, tomatoes, okra, cowpeas and
some other crops. Careful studies
of the boil worm were conducted by
Mr.. A. l.. Quaintance, of the Bu-
reau of Entomology, in connection
with large scale field expert
ments in many localities The con
clusion drawn from this practical
work was that the essential steps to
be resorted to in the control of the
boil weevil are exactly the ones
that should be followed in the war
fare against the boil worm.
From the foregoing, all of which
is taken from the bulletin issued by
the Department of Agriculture and
based on experiments extend
ing over a period of seventeen
years. does not the imperative
command Burn you Stalk" stand
out over and above every statement?
How to accomplish this all over the
five states that are known to be in
tested in whole are in part, we ask
our readers to answer.
De we need legislation on this
subject? Or will the planters Of
the South rise up in their intelli-
gence and do it themselves.
The question is; How can the
stalks be burned this fall not only
over the infested area, but in the
parts of Mississippi and Arkansas
where the weeyil has not yet been
reported.
The necessity for this is so clear
when we consider that the imigra-
ton at this season will carry a lew
weevils into new territory which
universal burning will Immediately
stamp out.
Neglected, a handful of weevils
increase to several millions next
spring. Again there is the boil
worm and innumerable other insects
injurious to the plant that viii be
exterminated by this means.
Should the Board of Supervisors
in each county appropriate money
for the purpose of hiring 80 to -
hands with foremen to direct the
work of assisting planters who are
short of labor2

area in the United States year by

any particular direction except as
governed by the wind. If there is
no wind or only a light one, Wee
vii is as likely to fly in one direc-
tion as another.
BURNING INFESTED PLANTS IN FALL.
Foremost among the methods of
control is the killing of the hordes
of adult weevils that are ready to
The Aberdeen weekly. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1878-1933, 1909-09-10

enter Information in the fall and
the prevention of the development
of millions more that would later
emerge to pass through the winter.
| This is accomplished by burning the
infested plants in the fall. There are
many vital reasons why the whole
sale destruction of the weevils in the
fall should be practiced by every
cotton planter in the infested region.
Some of these are stated below :;
First. Hordes of adult weevils
many for each plant in the field,
are killed outright.
Second. Many more weevils that
are in the immature stages, possibly
as many as hundred for each
plant in the field, are also killed.
Third. The few adult weevils es-
Gaping are weakened by starvation
and the great majority DO not have
sufficient strength to pass through
the winter.
Fourth. The development of the
late broods, which experiments have
shown furnish the vast majority 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 infest-
ed plants with the weevils facilitates
fall or early winter blowing, which
is the best possible procedure in cot
ton raising. Moreover. this blowing
assists greatly in the production Of
an early crop the following season.
In short, in the fall the weevil is
at the mercy of the planter as it is
at no other time. If the planter de-
sires to kill the weevil he can do so.
Work in weevil destruction at that
time far outbalances all remedial
measures that may be applied at
all other times of the year. Old
cornfields also furnish favorable
alternating quarters and should be
carefully cleared by the farmer who
desire to minimize the weeyil dam
| age on his place.

Texas. (This II years ago. Dur
ing the first ten years after its adj
vent into this country the annual
rate of spread was 5,640 square
miles.
Since 1901 the annual increase
in the infested territory has averaged
26, $50 square miles, but in one ex-
ceptional season, namely, 1904,
81 500 square miles became in
tested.
At the present time the weevil
is found more or less extensively IN
five states. Texas, Louisiana, Miss
issippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
In Mississippi Is counties are in
tested, in Arkansas % and and in
Oklahoma about one fifth of the
State. The total area infested COM
prises about 225, 900 square miles
and this covers about 80 per cent Of
the cotton acreage of the United
States. A conservative estimate
shows that since the weevil has in
vaded this country, it has caused
a loss of 2, $50, 900 bales Of cotton,
at value of about 1925. 900. 600.
And now at this season we have
the opportunity to check his adj
vance and utterly destroy him.

School Notes

The high school work is conducted by
Mr.. King. Miss Gladwin and Miss Cow
ing. The high school has full four
year course of study, laboratories and
fairly good reference library to be used
in connection with the various branches
pursued. Following are the subjects
offered for the first semester: Begin
ners' algebra, advanced algebra, plane
geometry, English literature. American
literature, rhetoric, grammar, beginners
Latin, Caesar, Cicero, first year German,
second year German, geology, physical
geography, physics, chemistry, botany
and history. Laboratory courses are
presented in all science classes.
The crowded condition in the grades
has been partially relieved by the addi-
ton of another teacher and an extra
room. The old school moved into town
last summer has been fitted up for this
purpose. The fifth grade has been
moved into this and is under the in
struction of Miss Smith. This has re-
moved the congested condition which
occasioned some little trouble last year.
1t will be well for parents who con-
template having their children enter the
chart or beginners class to do so before
the expiration of next week, after which
time it will be impossible to enter them
until after the holidays.

barley, oats, cabbage, some excellent
potatoes, pumpkins, squash and alfalfa
from the third cutting. The products
are all of fine quality and were all raised
without irrigation. This exhibit speaks
