Getting Ready for the Boil WeeVllS

Dr. L. o. Howard, chief Of the bureau of entomology of the department of agri' culture, says the worst center of boil wee vii damage this year is at a point in Madison parish. Louisiana. near Bat ,n eastward on a line drawn through Baton Rouge faster than it does on line drawn through Meridian. It Is doubtful indee1 whether much damage will be done in this state by the dreaded insects in the black belt counties next year
 But still 1t Is better to prepare against the coming of the insects. The diversia- cation of crops should be begun in earn est next year. Louisiana has been trans formed into a corn-growing state, and the black belt section of Alabama shou.1 do likewise. The Is counties in that belt should be filled with Boys Co-.1 clubs. The boys who this year cultivated an acre in accordance with Professor Duncan's instructions readily increased production to 50 bushels an acre, and in some cases to 75 bushels, as against a previous average yield in this state of 1S.5 bushels an acre. The average yi.il in the black belt should be carried to 30 bushels an acre. The boys of the state may easily set the pace next year ties that have a black soil should be cordance with the government method.

Turbines and High Speed

The new warship Bristol of the British navy is equipped with turbine engines of the Curtis type. MT. Curtis is an American, and his turbines were pre- ferred to those of the Parsons type. MT. Parsons is to the manner born where the Bristol was built.
 The Bristol's trial trip, made last week. developed a speed of 27 knots, a speed that approaches that of the swiftest torpedo boat destroyer in any navy.
 The Bristol is not Dreadnought, but still 1t Is of 4soo tons displacement. No turbine has been placed in a larger war vessel as yet, but the indications are that the turbine will yet drive recipro- eating engines out of all new ships that desire a high rate of speed.
 When a vessel is equipped with tur- pines and uses oil as fuel 1t will be a distinct advance over the ships of ten years ago. A warship Is pretty sure to become out of class and fashion in ten years anyway. The constructive ability and energy of the maritime nations has by no means been exhausted, and the chances are that warship ten years old will hereafter be ship outdone in speed and in warlike capacity.

Mobiles River Front

The entire state, and particularly this district is interested in the efforts tha. are being made to keep the river front of the states one port out of the hands of any monopoly. The railroads are eb- titled to a just share of Mobiles front age, but they should not monopolize it. There should be some of that frontage left available to all corners who are will ing to pay a reasonable equivalent.
 No doubt Mobile will take steps to render its frontage accessible to ali branches of business, come as it may We need not concern ourselves over tho plans to be adopted to secure this. Mo- bile has too much at stake to permit 2 monopoly of it's frontage to become es tablished. The state and particularly this district stands behind it, and what ever steps it may take. whatever leg. islation it may ask for, will have the backing of the remainder of the state. It is really grave problem, and Mobile should meet 1t in courageous and un- flinching manner.

Panama Canal Notifications

The British government will not op- pose the fortihcation of the Panama canal. There is no express prohibition n the Hays-Pauncefoot treaty, and no other nation has any grounds to go on, sr any deep interest in the matter. This country is left free to fortify the canal in any way 1t may seem fit.
 But the question then arises, is 1t worth while? We are building Dreadnoughts every year, and by 1915 we will presum- lbly be able to defend both ends of the ,anal. The matter of the marine ap- breaches of the canal will be master of the canal no matter how many forti- ications frown upon 1t. The land guns could not be used while the fleets at either end control the canal.
 Either we are expending vast sums on the navy uselessly or else the navy will De able to protect the canal. If the navy can do the work, it would be sheer and wholly superfuous expendi- .ure to add Notifications with all their treat expense. If our ships can control .he approaches of the canal we need m aIa not do this the canal becomes at once ueseless, anyway. It is wholly a mat ter of naval defense. and no amount of argument can change the situation. Nor ,an it be said that Notifications would ave from destruction the locks and dams case of war, for any enemy strong enough to control the canals terminals ould land troops and assail the forts rom the land and probably capture hem.
 The defense of the canal is entirely a naval matter. and any expenditure for 'ortihcations is simply a waste of money after all. Our right to fortlfy the canal is not contested, but our right to waste money at Panama will be contested when it is seen that the canal must be de- ended by our navy at all times and n all contingencies.
 This at first did not seem to be the aorrect view, but the more the situation t Panama is studied the plainer it is seen that Notifications at Panama are not needed.

WILBUR WRIGHT ON AvIAToRs

From the New York Press.
 Wilbur Wright, at the Asbury Park avi- ation meetin, said of risky aviators; These daredevils ought to be hurt a little now and then. It teaches them a lesson. Otherwise they have too much faith in their luck. Their faith becomes as ridiculous as that of Hiram Bucktoss of West Carrolton.
 farmer, used to come in to Dayton every Saturday afternoon to shop, and the boys at the feed store would take many a rise out of him on account of his faith. He believe anything-accede to the tallest propositions One Saturday, to see if he couldn't shatter Hiram's proverbial faith, a Dayton wit said:
 'Speakn' of buffaloes, Mir. Bucktoss, did I ever tell you that when I was out west I seen a buffalo up a tree eatin apples?
 ' Indeed said Hiram. He didn't even look bit startled. but only interested and pleased 1ndeedr
 That's what I said,' repeated the wit Why, MT. Bucktoss. didn't you never see no buffaloes up treesr
 ''No,' faltered Hiram. No; I can't say ever did Then he frightened up. But I've often heard. he added, how very fond they are of grapes ]"
