BEAUTY OF CITY
INVITES GROWTH
Toastmasters' Club Speakers
Advance Some Ideas Worthy
of Consideration.
KEEPING STREETS CLEAN
Suggested That Squad Of Men Be
Employed by Merchants-Park
on the River Front.

The Toastmasters' club held forth at
the Y. NJ c. A. last night with an elab-
crate program On the timely topic OF
"The City Beautiful" Some excellent
talks were made, and good suggestions
offered for the Improvement Of the
beauty of this city.
Frank Barker acted as toastmaster.
G. E. Crews spoke on THE Commercial
Value of Civic Beauty" He showed
how there is a real money value to the
community in improvements of the
sort A city that presents an attract
i've appearance gets the business and
the people. for it becomes a better
place TO live. and place to which trav-
elers like to return. The provision OF
parks and other places of recreation
not only adds to the beauty, but pro
notes public health, and leads to i'm
provement of private property by the
citizens
Norman Kerr discussed the need of
Clean Streets" Good pavements and
their maintenance, and proper methods
. of cleaning were discussed. 1t was
suggested that It would pay the mer-
chants to follow the example of other
cities, where business men have by pri-
vate enterprise employed special men
to clean the blocks in front OF their
stores and Offices. One man can keep
a city block well swept and cleaned
at moderate expense, thus adding not
only 90 the looks, but 70 the comfort
and tation.
AXE LEVEE ATTRACTIVE.
L.. possibilities in using the river
front were presented by H. C. Fulmer.
Among other things Mr.. Fulmer advo-
Gated that some kind OF park should
be provided, even though it be a small
one, between Seventeenth and Tweuti-
eth streets, where grass and flowers
would relieve the brick and sand, and
where seats might be provided for visi-

Qrat SlZe. Authors llluStratlOn.J the infested plants in the fall after the weevils have become so numerous that there is no prospect of the matu rity of any additional crop. Wholesale Destruction.
 There are many vital reasons why the wholesale destruction of the wee wills in the fall should be practiced by every cotton planter in the infested re- zion. Some of these are stated below:
 First. -Hordes of adult weevils. many for each plant in the field. are killed outright.
 Second.-Many more weevils that are in the immature stages, possibly as many as a hundred for each plant in the field. are also killed.
 Third. The few adult Weevils es- caping will be weakened by starvation, and the great majority will not have sufficient strength to pass through the winter
 Fouvth.-The development of the late brOOds. which experiments have shown furnish the vas, majority of weevils that pass through the winter. is cut off immediately.
 Fifth. -Thp reuoval of the infested plants with the weevils facilitates fall or early winter blowing. which is the best possible procedure ill cotton rais- ing. Moreover. this blowing assists greatly in the production of an early crop the following season.
 Should Be Done Early.
 No definite rule can be laid down as to the proper time for destroying the weevilS upon and in the fruit of the plants in the fall In general the prop CT time is whenever the weevils have reached such numbers as to infest practically all of the squares that are being set. ran destruction as late as November will accomplish much. but several times the number of weevils can be destroyed if the work he done in October The proper method in general Is to uproot the plants by means of blows and to burn them as soon as possible.
 All stumpase or sprout cotton is prevented where the plants are prop crly uprooted Where such sprout 1 cotton or volunteer cotton appears 1t should be destroyed. Trash along hedges. in fence corners. on turn rows and around old buildings should also be burned, and. old sorghnm fields should ha carefully cleaned They of- fer exceptional advantages as placer fnr kilnr,,. fsnn an1 s..,rl, ii s1s ra ,l iosa source of danger.

 Since lS0i the boil Weevil has eX- tended it's range annually from forty Ito seventy miles. During the first ten years after it's advent the annual rate 'of spread was J.Gt0 square miles. IS;n"e 1901 the annual increase in the lin:ested territory has averaged 26,SS0 square miles. hl.t in 1904 51,500 square ln,,ei became infested. Of course the IG@ures given do not refer to the area Nn cotton In many parts of the in- Tested territory the area devoted to lcotton is much less than 10 per cent of the total area.
 Five States Affected.
 At present tlIe w2evi is found il TcSas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkar- sas and Oklahoma. In Mississippi le. .rlUeen counties are infested. in Ar kansas twenty eight and in Oklahoma about one-fifth of the state. The total area infested comprises about 225,000 square miles, and this covers about 36 per cent of the cotton acreage of the United States.
 ! Undoubtedly for several years the i,ol weevil has caused loss of about E0O.0OO bales of cotton annually. conservative estimate shows that since the weeyil has invaded this country is has caused a loss of 2,550,O00 bales of cotton at q value of about $125.o0o,ooo, Characteristics of Weevil ' The adult boil weevil is about one fourth of an inch ill length. varying from one-cighth to onet third of an inch. with breadth about one-third of ths length This measurement includes the Sn0ut. which is about one-half the length of the body Variation ill size Is due to the amount of food the insect has obtained in the larval stage. h. rividuals from bolls are therefore nearly always larger than those from squares (unblown buds,.

 The boil Wcevil is strictly diurnal in It's habits and is not active after Snn- down. Unlike some related insects, 1t is ast attracted 10 lights During the summer the ula jority of weeyils Go not live longer than sixty days. During the cooler part of the year many of them live as long as six months. The longest lived weeyil on record lived from Dec. 10 to the following October
 The boil weevil passes the winter in the adult stage. In the fall, when frosts occur. immature stages may be found ill the squares or bols. Proyid- ed the food supply is sufficient many of these immature stages continue their development at a very slow rate. and adults finally emerge Ordinarily, however. the frosts that destroy the cotton generally kill practically all of the immature stages of the weevil.
 With the advent of cool weather ip the fall the adult boil weevils in cot ton fields begin to seek protection against tine winter They fly from the fields in every direction. although their movements are governed par italy by the prevailing winds. They may fly into hedges, woods. cornields haystacks and farm buildings.
 Burning infested Plants In the Fall
 A number of weevils also obtain Iii bernating quarters without leaving the cotton fields by crawling into cracks in the ground under grass; weeds and other trash and into thp burs from which cotton has been picked Here. however. the mortality is greater than where the protection is better. The majority of weevils that hibernate successfully do not pas; the winter in the cotton fields. Dur ing the winter the weevils take ns food and remain practically dormant
 Foremost among the methods of con trolling this expensive pest is the kil' ing of the hordeS of adult weevils that are ready to enter Information in the fall and the prevention of the develop ment of millions more that would later emerge to pass through the win ter. This is accomplished by burning

 Like many of the most important in furious insects in this country. the cotton boil Weevil is not a native of the United States. It's original home was undoubtedly in the plateau region of Mexico or Central America. and it may originally have fed upon some plant other than cotton. Previous t0 1892 the insect had spread through Mexico, but little is known regarding the extent or rapidity of this disper sion.
 About 1892 the boil weevil crossed the Rio Grande near Brownsville, Tex.
