SPREAD OF BOIL WEEvIL.
Enemies Introduced to Fight It
Effect on Southern Farming.

from the New orleans Flcayune
The boil weevil is undoubtedly the most
serious menace the cotton planter has ever
faced. Until it arrived there was appar-
emily nothing to prevent a steady increase
in cotton production answering to the en-
Iarging demands of the world, as it was
generally held that within the area now
devoted to cotton raising there could be
produced double the present crop. This
bright outlook faded before the weevil, al
though the earlier apprehensions of pos
sible abandonment of cotton raising as 4
result of it's ravages have subsided.
In 1895 the weevil was not known in this
country outside of a few counties on the
southern Texas coast. BY 1903 it had eA-
tended northward over much OF eastern
Texas. and in October of that year ii es-
tablished isolated colonies in Louisiana
By 1903 the enemy had entered nearly all
OF the cotton counties of Texas, had over
spread Louisiana. and was present in parts
of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and 1t has
since invaded Mississippi.
Some idea of the damage wrought may
be obtained from comparison of yield in
ten counties that were free from the wee

yield in the latter year was only A per
cent as great as in the formen
The pest Is hard to exterminate on ac-
count of its habits and rapfdity of growth
and multiplication. As its name indicates.
the boil Weevil passes nearly all Of its life
in the fruit Of the plant and cannot be
reached with poisons. From egg to adult
stage requires but fourteen days, and a
single pair will lay enough eggs In a sea-
son to reproduce 134. 600 individuals.
Much good was expected from the intro
duction OF the Guatemalan ant. In its own
country the natural enemy Of the weevil,
but this importation succumbed to changed
climatic conditions. A native ant, how
ever. known as Solenopsis geminata. and
which travels up and down the cotton
stalk. has taken issue with the weevil.
first fighting him as an interloper and
later hunting him out as an article OF diet.
According to the bureau OF entomology.
Solenopsis geminata is responsible for the
destruction Of more than half the weevils
that fall before their various natural ene-
mics. Good results have followed the In
PRODUCTION of new cultural methods such
as burning the cotton stalk in the fall as
soon as possible after the last Of the crop
has been gathered. and by inducing speedy
maturity OF the following seasons crop
through early planting and the use of fer
tilizers.
One beneficial effect OF the weevil has
been the increased attention given to
diversified farming in many sections
where this had been too much neglected.

fierce that the stout, bony sword went

side the vessel. The struggle of the fish
broke the sword, leaving part of it still

Desecrating Cathedrals.

The question Of the desecration of Eng
lish cathedrals Is threatening to give some
trouble. The comp plaints. which are of a
grave kind. chiefly come from the high
church party. Not long ago 1t pro-
fessed to be shocked at the idea that AL
fred Austin. the poet laureate. should re-
cite an ode to Shakespeare within the
walls of Southwark Cathedral. The whole
Shakespearean service on ST. Georges
day was indeed considered an oHense. The
arrangement just completed for g. great
choir festival has accentuated the griev-
ance.
It Is to be held this year in Hereford
Cathedral. and q plan OF the building is
issued showing the prices Of the seats ac-
cording to position. The prices range
from g to 81. This Is held to be down
grade. Bishop Percival, who is an ad-
vanced liberal churchman, will probably
take no notice Of the expressions of pain
on the part OF the sacerdotalists. but 1t is
not improbable that the subject will be
raised at the coming church congress in
Swansea. The question may be asked in
this form: Whether the time has not come
when in the cathedrals a sharper line
should be. drawn between the secular and
the religious elements.

Bohmenians Indulge In Duel
at Milan.

Milan, Mich, June 3O.-One man is
dead and another is dying as the re-

company's plant here, is the victim,
and John Mascaros of Delray, a sugar
beet worker, is in University hospital.

body, probably fatally wounded.
Mascaros came here from Delray. He
expected to go to work in the sugar
beet fields. He spent most of the day.
1t is said, in the Palica home, with
Mrs. Palica and he was in the kitchen
when the woman's husband returned
from. work The two men had met
before and, it is said, had quarreled
frequently. Palicz is alleged to have
drawn a gun and threatened to shoot
the other, and when Mascaros refused
to leave the house struck him over
the head with the butt Of the gun.
The men carried the fight to the
door, and just as Mascaros was about
to leave Palicz is said to have shot
at him three times.
One bullet struck him In the head
one in the back, and the other lodged
in his hip. The wounded man dropped
to the ground, and as he went down he
pulled his gun and shot once. The
bullet struck Palicz In the head. and
he soon died.

letter signed Edith" parts of which
were found In the bungalow OF the

The missive, which is in Mrs. Wood

sentimental language, was presumably
sent to Eastman. 1t not only indicates
a warm attachment for the man, but
seems. to prove that she had known

paper, in Eastman's handwriting, is
the following:

our short - of bliss. With the COM
ing of you, and parting, ever before
me. If we meet in the unknown, let's
continue the blissful times that we
spent here. l am with you in every
thought"
The letter, signed Edith, contains
the following passages:
II do not feel myself to be bold or
wrong, or in myself for drifting to-
ward you as l do. l would not feel
myself wrong to go straight to you to-
morrow.
