To our schedule list of scenic at

town and easily accessible. called by
some The Oyster Beds and by 9TH

this is drift, or a rift, is not in my
province as this item deals with the
subject from purely a scenic stand
point
II seems to the writer that our
scenic advantages should go hand in
hand with the Tourist Movement and

Boil Weevil and LOuisiana's Diversi-
fed Crops.

Governor Sanders of Louisiana, In
a recent interview, stated that "the
boil weevil proved to be not an un-
mitigated curse. On the contrary, 1t
has resulted in good. 1t has made
the cotton planters go in for diversi-
fled farming. Up to the time that
the boil weevil scare came our peo-
pie were raising cotton almost exclu-
sively and bought what they ate from
other sections of the country. The
boil weevil brought home to them the
necessity OF growing at home what
they ate, and now they are raising
the hogs and corn and grits that they
used to buy outside. Two years ago
our cotton crop was a little over a
million and a quarter bales. Last
year 1t was only a little over a quar-
ter of a million. Yet on the first of
January this year the city and coun-
ty banks had bigger balances on de-
posit than they had two years ago.
Last year, for the first time, Louisiana
shipped corn to Texas and to Europe
and Ii graded up with the best Of To-
wa corn. Yes. the boil weevil Was a
blessing in disguise, and it will even

Pittsburg, Pa, March 3O.-Dr. f.
K. Walters, former president of Sc
lect council, who is now director of

dicted today as the alleged recipient
of $1,000 in bribe money and fifteen
other former selectmen were named
