To Fight The Boil Weevil.

Practical steps are being taken

of the United States Agricultural
Department and the State Com
missioners of Agriculture in ad-

which may eventually be reach
ed by the Mexican cotton boil

growing cotton in spite of the
presence of that insect. The
experience of the farmers in
Texas, where the weevil has
been for some years, demon
strates that, by the adoption of
proper methods, practically as
large yields of cotton can be OBJ.
t.ined as before the appearance
of the weevil. In most localities
in Texas the invasion of the
weevil has generally been fol-
lowed by short crops fol two or
three years until the farmers
have learned how to Geal with
the insect.
For the purpose of making the
cooperative work of the Compa-
nies as effective as possible, an
organization has been perfected
to be known as the Cotton Cul-
ture Department of the Southern
Railway, the Alabama Great
Southern Railroad, and the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad, with a
view to encouraging the adoption
of the most improved methods in
advance of the appearance cf
the weevil. This, it is felt, will
have the effect of maintaining
the normal production of cotton.
Practical farmers who have had
experience in dealing with the
coll weevil will be employed and
will devote their entire tine to

Maud Lillian Berri, the retired comic

Ter mother for control of the fortune
of 100000 left by her father, Fulton
Berry of Fresno, last spring.
The trouble arises over the fact that
Miss Berri and her cousin, Eugene La

mother is executor of the will, are al

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 29.--lt is
almost a foregone conclusion that the
legislature, in special session here,
will designate Oklahoma City as the
future capital of Oklahoma. This was
practically assured when members Of
the senate and the house ratified Gov.
Haskells call for the special SEES
sion.
Contests in the courts by represen-
tatives of Muskogee and Guthrie are
sure to follow the action of the legis-
lature. A fight conferred on the ratiti-
cation of the governors call for the
special session, because of the fact
that it required the concurrence of a
two-thirds majority of the members
elected to each house. The house met
and ratified the call by vote of 81
to 26. two members being absent.
1t became known to the Haskell
men that eleven republicans had
agreed to vote against concurrence,
together with four democrats from
the Muskogee district. During recess
influence was brought to bear that
caused three republicans and the
four Muskogee supporters to vote
for concurrence.

Fifteen votes would have defeated

and Representative j. H. Maxey,

concurrence, for the reason that they
believed the special session was in
