POLICE ARREST SUSPECT ON
ROBBERY CHARGE
DETECTIVES SAY PRISONER HAS
MADE CONFESSION
Jewelry Valued at Several Hundred Is
Recovered in Room Alleged to
Have Been Occupied by Man
Now in Custody of Law

In the arrest of H. c. Lockwood, a
young man who was taken into Gus
tody by Detectives Murray and Nc
Cam. and who when searched had in
his possession jewelry and silverware
estimated to be valued at several hun
dred dollars, the detectives believe they
have one of the daring daylight burg
lars. The police say Lockwood con-
fessed to having broken into nearly
a score of houses and stolen jewelry,
silVerware and other articles, valued
approximately at $500.
Lockwood was arrested on South
Main street while trying to dispose of
several articles of jewelry. He was
searched at the police station and In
addition to a quantity of jewelry the
detectives found a large bunch of pass
keys.
The officers went to the room of
Lockwood on East Fifth street near
the Arcade station and found suit
case full of rings, watches, silverware
and various other articles. At first
when asked to explain his possession
Of the stuff, Lockwood denied having
stolen them, but later weakened and
admitted he stole them from fifteen or
twenty places.
Silverware to the value of $500 was
identified as having been stolen from
houses at South Pasadena, and other
articles of jewelry were recognized by
description given in reports made by
persons whose houses in Los Angeles
have been entered.
Among the number of places which
the detectives say Lockwood confessed
to having entered and the goods stolen
are:

brooches, earrings, opera glasses, lock-
cts, etc, were stolen.

With the exception of the case of
Mr.. Percy, whose home was entered
in the night while the family was
asleep, the other burglaries have been
committed in the afternoon during the
absence of the occupants of the places
visited. In each case pass key was
used to effect an entrance.

NIT to the invasion supinely or 20 pre-
pare himself by aggressive action TO
meet the inroads OF this pest in the
most effective manner.
Just arow much damage the boil wee
vii will inflict on certain or our SOUTH
eastern states is still matter OF more
or less conjecture This is due In part
70 the fact that a good deal OF upland
cotton is produced in the Piedmont re-
gion where the elevation above sea lev
ell is quite considerable and comparative
" early frosts may he counted on.
The winter weather is also rather Sc
we're. and hence produces conditions
which are unfavOrable to the hiberna-
ton of the boil weevil, provided the lit
ter and stalks. which are his natural
cover are destroyed as completely as
seems advisable from the Investigations
made up 10 this time On the other
hand, the Piedmont region is a section
in which the rainfall is much greater
than that in most sections OF Texas,
rnd in this respect offers the weevil
very favorable conditions since il is
likely TO keep the cotton growing until
cutie late in the fall. and afford him
more young squares to work on than in
a locality where the rainfall is more
restricted and there is less setting on
of cotton and the more thorough de-
struction of the squares which fall to
the ground by their complete drying up.
Owing to the fact that Texas now
produces comparatively large crops Of
cotton. some have reached the conclu-
sion that tire boil weevil will not neces-
sarily- prove as destructive as has been
pointed out by many Investigators An
examination OF the situation IN Texas
shows that the ceaters of cotton pro-
cuctIon have been materially changed
BY the advance of the boil weevil- In
other words. many counties in middle
and eastern Texas which at one time
produced enormous crors now only grow

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT
PREPRAING FOR THE BOIL WEEVIL

Iy changed It is well for the farmer
to bear these facts in mind and ad-
Just his operations to meet the new
conditions to the best possible advant-
age. He can do this by taking fore
thought. and the greater part of the
loss which the boil weevil is certain to
inflict may be avoided and the prosper
ity of the southern states maintained at
its present high level.
Some Of the things which demand at
tention in order to meet this invasion
successfully is the general cultivation
OF early, rapid fruiting. short Jointed,
bushy varieties of cotton. Many per-
sons suppose that these varieties are
non-existant at the present time, but
there is a good basis on which to build
by careful and systematic selection on
the part of both the scientist and the
farmer a strain. that will meet the new
conditions which the coming of the boil
weevil is likely to impose 1t has been
demonstrated that If a variety Of cot
ton can be developed which will set on
a large number of bolls early in the
season that it is damaged comparative
ly little by the boil weevil. This state
ment possibly needs a little amplifica-
ton to make il clear. In an early fruit
ing variety OF cotton the bolls set on
at first become comparatively hard and
are not readily attacked by the weevil
as long as II continues to make fruit
and there are immature and tender bolls
for il to feed on. This emphasizes the
great Importance of earliness in secur-
ing a comparatively large yield of cot
ton in the presence of the boil weevil,
and its importance swill be quickly APP
preciated by all The question is will
the farmer profit as completely as he
may in the next few years by this
knowledge. In seeking an early strain
of cotton, il is also necessary to en-
phasize productiveness. In meeting the
boil weevil increased yields per plant
and per acre must be sought because or
the destruction of a cons -derable part
OF the bolls which may set on. In 9TH
err words, the only way 10 offset this
loss is through the development Of more
prolific types and strains of plants.
AS to the best varieties to commence
work with there is some diversity OF
opinion. but. OF course. IL has long since
been established that an early, large
boiled. prolific type of cotton is more de-
sirahle TO cultivate than any other
was thought for many years -sowever,
that this type of plant "-uId not be Sc
cured. IL being generally believed that
Iarge-bolled cotton could not be early or
rapid fruiting. and that a good staple
varieties, could not be secured in an
early maturing and large seeded variety.
These fctions OF the Imagination, for
they were little else. have been exploded
and this should afford great relief and

FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH LAND.

Among the many gifts that Nature has
iavished Oh the South none is more val
liable than her gift of the cotton plant
In the soil, warmth and sunshine of the
South, the cotton plant attains its high
est perfection. Formerly, only the white,
downy lint of the cotton boil was pre-
served, but today, from the kernel of the
cotton seed is pressed an oil which, when
refined, compares favorably with the
purest olive oil. From the choicest of
this oil of the cotton seed is made a
cooking fat called Cottolene. In eff
cheney, purity and wholesomeness, Cot
tolene far excels the fat of the hog, and
it has we'll been named, Natures gift

1t seems hardly necessary to dilate on
the advantages of the several points
here enumerated. II is plain, OF course
that a relatively large seed In any va
riety is desirable because OF the extra
amount of nutriment the seed should
contain for the more rapid termination
and nourishment of the young plant I'M
til II establishes itself, early vigor ana
rapidity of growth being most essential
and desirable qualities. OF course,
long staple is worth more money than
short staple. Moreover, If the staple
is of uniform length, the yield per acre
will be larger. There is no use In grow
ing 100 pounds of seed cotton to secure
bale of 500 pounds of lint when the
same amount of lint can be secured from
200 pounds of seed cotton. 1t Is quite
possible in a big-bolled variety Of cotton
to have uniformity OF length Of lint In
stead of the butterfly type Of seed now
so frequently met with. Furthermore
earliness and productiveness are factors
which can be correlated with big bolls,
this simply being a question of hybridiza-
ton, selection and relative fixation of
type.

other way to concentrate the material
would be to reduce the amount of cot

DETERMINING SOIL ACIDITY.
M. L. H. Sylvania, Ga, writes: I in
close some litmus papers which have
been used to test the acidity OF the soil.
They were dampened and placed In the
soil about two inches from the surface
and allowed to remain about five min
utes. Do they show very great acid
ity, and about how much lime per acre
would each test require? Should the lime
be put deep into the soil or used as a
top dressing?
There is some variation in the colora-
ton of the samples of litmus paper sent.
but not enough to enable one to say
that there is a great difference in the
acidity shown by the different soils you
have tested. Evidently these soils are
more or less acid. however, as shows
by the degree of celebration of the pa

method of procedure is as follows: Scrape

should be corrected, for plants can not

bushels to the acre. Peas and velvet
beans were planted on 1t when the corn
was laid by. The peas were cut for hay
and the land has been plowed under
with a two-horse pillow running about
ten inches deep. l tested the land and
find that it needs lime. 1 want to plant
the land in cotton next year and want to
make eight bales on the five acres. If
use lime will 1T drive away the nitro

much lime would you use, and how
should it be applied? The lime l have
is oyster shell lime. What do you think
of planting rye as a cover crop? How
, wide should the cotton rows be? How
much fertilizer would you use? 1 have a
good deal of stable manure.
Taking all the circumstances into con-
sderation, it will pay you to apply lime
to your land as soon as possible this fall.
If you desire to SOW rye there is no
objection to your doing so since the
lime may be broadcasted on the soil
without injury to this crop. We presume
when you speak of oyster shell lime
you mean the finely ground or unburned
lime, which of course is not in the caus-
tic form. oyster shells, If free from
dirt and trash, furnish a very fine quail
ity of lime, though of course the caus-
tic lime is more active in the soil than
the unburned lime This being true IL
would be well for you to apply at least
a ton and a half per acre of the oyster
shells which should be broadcasted over
the surface of the ground as uniformly
as possible and worked in with a har-
row. 1t will not hurt the rye IL IL has
made a good start to run the harrow

lime on this fall lies in the fact that II

remedy for an acid soil, and that Is the
application of lime. The lime had best
be put on early in the autumn; now is
a good time. Various forms of lime may
be used and various amounts, from 500
pounds I'D to one ton. One ton is con-
sidered the standard application for
caustic lime, and two tons for the fine
ly ground limestone rock. On red clay
lands in very bad physical condition and
low in vegetable matter a ton of caustic
lime may often be applied with advant-
age. Two tons of finely ground rock
will be more satisfactory. New pro-
cess lime should not be used when IL
can be avoided since 1t is slaked with
water and contains more of that element
than II is worth while for the farmer
to pay freight on. If a farmer complains
about the cost of lime. he should remem-
Der that 1t is the only means by which
he can put his land in condition to
grow profitable crops. The excessive and
continued use of lime is, of course. OBJ
jectionable, and an application of one
ton in three years is quite sufficient for
most lands. Lime should be applied as
top dressing and worked in the soil
with a harrow. Never pillow it under, as
its tendency is to sink into the soil.
This explains why so many limestone
soils are now found to be acid.
