Roy F'oWles, who is in charge of the office of the Pine Bluff Corpor ation during the absence of his fath- CT, Manager E. C. Fow1es, stated yes terday that the finding of wiggle- tails and small worms in the water furnished residents of South Walnut street was being thoroughly investi- gated by his company, and that it is believed that the Wiggletails and worms formed ill small two-inch pipe which is being used temporarily on that street. Stagnant water formed in dead pipe there and the wiggletails and worms came from that quarter.
 Mayor Toney, who had been ap- pealed to by the residents of Walnut street, also investigated the matter yesterday. He at first thought that the wiggletails and worms might have come from the reservoir of the company at their plant on West Fourth avenue, but the water there was found to be as clear as a crys- tai. The fact that the worms and wiggletails were not found ;n any other parts of the city is an assur- ance that they are not in all the water being furnished the consum- CTS by the Pine Bluff Corporation, Mr. Fowles has given orders that the plugs be flushed regularly and the be remedied

NO BOIL WEEY|L
 IN THIS COUNTY J. J. Moore, Representative Bureau of Plant Indus
 try, Positive Of It.
GIVES GOOD ADVICE
Lectures to Bankers. Merchants and Planters at the Board oi Trade
 ',n tht Boil Nrtsil.


 In the presence or q large 2ather-
 ing oI bankers. merchants and plant CTS of this county, who were present
 at the Board of Trade headquarters yesterday afternoon to hear ! !. Moore, representative of the HHteaH of Plant Industry, lecture on Crop
 Diversification and the Boil Weevil.e
 Mir. Moore made the positive stat ,~ nent that there were no evidences of boil Weevil in this immediate locality and the statement Was made follow ing a thorough inspection Of many plantations throughout this county h.. the crop and boil Weevil expert Tine positive a4nouncement was made by Mr. Moore to assure the planters that the unconfirmed rumors to the effect that the boil weevil would reach this section this year, was somewhat ,ln- founded
 MT. Moore lectured here yesterday at the invitation of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade. His address was a complete review of the boil weevil situation throughout the South, and the systematic fight being waged against the little enemy of prosper ity, as it is termed by government experts, and the speaker gave the bus mess men, financiers an, planters some valuable advice for the future
 He said that in time of peace they should sprepare for war on the boll WeeTfr He urged the empl0tment of wage hands, rather than the uusal custom of leasing small farms to them or sharing with them at the end of q cotton season. He argued that by em- ploying labor by the day OF week, the planter could have them under his control, while on the other hand, the glects his crop if he is inclined to do so. MT, Moore asserted that under the advice of government eXperts, who are fighting the boll weevil, planters 'of the Southern states have been en- abled to make a bale and half of cotton to the acre under boil WeeVil conditions, and in many instances they have made even more cotton .by im- proved methods than usual.
 II to keep in touch with the Bureau of Plant Industry, and to make all tie insect if it makes it's appearance in this section next year He adyo- cated the purchase of a team, wagon and tools for the local agent of the Bureau of Plant Industry, stating that more effective demonstration work could be done if these convenicnces were supplied.
 Mr. Moore says that the govern ment's Bureau of Etymology has thoroughly proven that the boil weevil cannot be poisoned The most deadly poisons have been used without eff feet. He said there was but one way to conquer the little weevl and that was to follow the directions of the government experts in planting and working cotton, put the land in a higher state of cultivation cultivate rapidly, keep the farm clean and cul- tiFate a little less land and give it
