FINAL OUTCOME
OF EXPERIMENTS.
Crop Pest Commission Gives The Outcome Of
Work With WseViIS.
over 20 PER Cent LIVED.
Through the winter During The HlbernatiOn
Experiments al MaRsuFa--SOme Remark.
able Traits Of the Pest are Discovered

Baton Rouge, July 30.-Announce
ment was made today by the State
Crop Pest Commission of the fna
outcome Of the boil weevil hiberna.
ton experiments made at Mansura
AYoyeIles parish, the past winter, tt
which reference has heretofore beer
made in these dispatches.
The experiment at Mansura was
one Of the largest of the kind evel
undertaken, sixteen large wire clott
cages having been constructed espe
cially for securing information as tt
the percentage of boil weevils sur.
wing the winter in that latitute.
the rate at which they left hibernat-
ing quarters in spring and much other
! information of interest to the sci
entiic people who are engaged in a
critical study of the pest.
The first striking point brought to
light is the remarkably large number
Of weeyils surviving the winter in the
central part Of Louisiana. In the
sixteen cages mentioned a total Of
1921 live, healthy boil weeviIs were
placed at different times last fall,
each cage containing a pile of moss,
trash, leaves ETC., in which the wee
wills could seek shelter during the
winter just as they do out Of doors.
Out Of this 1921 weeviIs, $3.50, or
twenty and sixty-three-one-hundredt
per cent, lived through the winter
and emerged from the trash the past
spring and summer.
The second remarkable feature of
the weevils habits was found to lie
in the slow rate at which they left
their winter quarters. Commencing
On Feb. Is, 1909, the commission
stationed Assistant EntomoIogist NJ.
IS nougherty at Mansura with in
structions to watch the cages and
count and remove the weeviIs as fast
as they left the trash and presented
themselves TO view The cages were
examined twice each day from Feb.
18th to July Is and a complete re-
cord make on the emergence.
The first weevils left Information
Oh Feb. 21st and the last one on
June 10Th. The period through
which they were emerging from hi
bernation was therefore 129 days, or
more than four munths.
Following is the rate at which the
$3.50 surviving weevils left their
winter quarters:
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1909-08-07

Observations were also made to de-
termine the effect of destroying the
cotton plants, at different dates in
the fall, in determining the NAM
Der Of weeviIs living through the win
ter. The length Of time which the
hibernated Weevils lived after leaving
their alternating quarters the past
spring was also determined. This
information together with a chart
showing the daily rate Of emergence
from hibernation will be published in
bulletin form by the commission as
soon as possible. The records made
in the Mansura experiment are very
volaminous and several weeks time
viii be required for putting them in
shape for the printer.

Samuel Chicello, arrested at his home on Broad street Sunday after noon, was presented before Judge liar ry E. Back in the town court Monday morning to answer to a charge of sell ing liquor on Sunday. Chicello's case was continued until Dec. II. Joseph Sandy, or Lardine, who started a fight with Chicello and created a sensation on Broad street Sunday afternoon, was fined $10 and the costs of the court, amounting to $12.29. He could not pay and went to jail.
 Chicello has been serving beer to some of the Italians building the sewer who take their meals at his home and because Sandy could not get more than Chicello thought he ought to have the men became mixed up in a fight. A feature of the excitement that fol- lowed in the nefghborhood of the Chi cello home was the appearance of Per cy Brown with a military rife and a deTleanor that evidently impressed the combatants that it was about time to cease their breach of the peace.

FOUND DEAD.
Boys Discover Body in Grove--Proves
 to Be George Mccann.


 George McCann, cotton weaver. about 50 years of age, was found dead in grove on land of the Quinebaug company near the old Indian burying ground off Dyer street, early Monday evening. William and Arthur Bar deau. aged Is and 12 years, found the body. They had noticed McCann lying in the grove during all of Monday, put presumed he was sleeping. When he did not show signs of awakening as night came on, they investigated, and when the coat was pulled from over McCann's head and face, it was seen that he was dead.
 Chief George NJ. Filling and Medi- cal Examiner Dr. Rienzi Robinson were notified. They found. McCann lying on his back, with several news papers spread beneath him, evidently to keep away the dampness. The dead man presumably went to sleep Sunday night and never awakened. He was last seen alive Sunday after noon near the east entrance to the footbridge of the Quinehaug com any and at that time appeared to be very i'll.
 McCann came here from Warren, R. l., about the first of the month He has been sleeping in barns and out buildings since that time and has had little to eat as far as can be learned.
 McCann was well known in Kill ingly where he has worked at differ ent' cotton mills. He was at one time a man of considerable ability is said to have been a registered pharmacist and Q member of a good family. The body was taken to the undertaking rooms of Lewis B. Kennedy. The dead man has a brother Felix, believed to be living in Enfield, R. l.

NEW STEEL BRIDGE
Swung Into Place at Moosup Sunday.

At Moosup Sunday the new steel bridge to carry the tracks of the New Haven road over the river west of the station was swung into place. The work was accomplished between the morn- ing and evening trains and without any delay to traffic over the division.
 The span inserted carries the rails over the riverbed at a considerable height above the stream and rests on abutments that have been completed for several weeks. The approach to this section of the bridge from both the east and the west is over wooden trestle that was a part of the old bridge. The steel section put in place Sunday is not new, but has evidently been taken from some other point of the system after being replaced by a heavier bridge.
