WORMS DO DAMAGE
Scarcity of Paris Green May lead
10 Considerable Loss 10
Texas Cotton Plants

Beaumont, Texas, August 2 81.
The cotton worm is doing great
damage in this county. One diff
ficulty in fighting this worm has
been the scarcity of Paris
Green.
In the north where they fight
the tree caterpillar and the army
worm, a smudge pot and flour
of sulphur is used. A charcoal
fire is built IN a brazier or char
coal heating pot and sulpher
thrown on the Goals by the
handsfull, allowing the fumes of
the sulphur to pass through the
infected foliage. 1t has been
suggested that this may be the

phur fumes the operation should
be discontinued, bat in the face
of the present situation It is
worth trial.
Parties coming into the city
from the cotton fields report that
the work of the worm on cot
ton that is well along is like
soaring of the topmost foliage
of the field with a hot iron. The
main part of the leaf is entire
ly eaten away, leaving but the
skeleton in a lacey effect, which
turns brown. Big fields of
twenty-five acres or more will be
completely covered. One .pecu-
liar thing about the work of
the worm is that Its effects are
seldom seen in the outer rows of
the field. and cotton plants

neighbors, and for that reason
if nothing else we should feel
a deep interest in keeping the
cemetery well protected and
the grounds nicely arranged and
clean. 1t is necessary then that
we have the cooperation Of all
the people of this town to do this.

place and as many as will and

say the dismissed employees who have
testified, to prove that men were re
moved from the service through polit-
ical influence.
Some of the new members of the
house who have become much interest
ed in the grievances of the postal en-
ployees believe remedy of some sort
will be found in the committee on civil
service.
The whole subject is likely to hold
the attention of congress throughout
this special session and perhaps
throughout the regular session. The
committee on expenditures in the post
office department has been authorized
by the house to make an investigation
of the postoffice department, and it,
too, will go into this question as to
whether the employees OF the differ
ent branches of the service are being
properly treated.

Would Label the Unspoken "Speeches'

The Record, under the present sys-
TEN, is not a true report of the pro-
ceedings of the house 1t may well
be that an article of value, prepared
by a member of congress, should be
printed in the Record, but 1t should be
so designated.
But to my mind the greatest end
that would be attained under this sys-
tenn would be the shortening of
speeches in congress and the restora-
tion of debate to a plane 1t once occu-
pied.
"The first result of labelling things
in the record by their right names
would be the abandoning of the pres
ent abuse by individual representa-
tives. When a mans constituents be-
gin to ask HIM, Did you really deliver
this speech, or did you just have it
printed?' he will quit the practice.
Congress could not possibly afford
the time that would be necessary for
the delivery of all the speeches that
appear in the Record. Therefore,
speeches will have to be shortened.
and they ought to be. No man needs
an hour in congress to explain an
idea. Half an hour. and usually less.

The Dick bill originally provided for

to be troublesome.
The bill also provided for a separate

The section providing for the vol

over the privilege of the states to or

the contingent section bringing into ex-
istence the list of eligibles for the

disturbed. The bill thus passed con-

Postal Clerks Ask Right to Organize

which they may organize and affiliate

the federation, is supporting the move

Many men formerly in the postal
service, but who were let out because
they were active in encouraging en-
ployees of the service to organize, have
told the committee of the wrongs
which they assert are done the en-
ployees. In a general way, the griev-
ance of the employees is that men are
frequently dismissed for purely polit-
ical reasons, men let out of the serv-
ice have no recourse.
1t is pointed out that the postoffice
department now forbids the individual
employee from laying any complaint
he may have before his senator or
member of congress. The civil service
commission has come in for much
criticism because 1t has not taken
more interest in cases of dismissed en-
ployees. Witnesses have pointed out
to the committee that the commission
