REPUBLICANS OFFER
 A NEW WOOL BILL

Washington, March 22.-Repubican members of the ways and means com mittee introduced a minority bill today revising the woolen schedule of the tariff law in accordance with their in- depreciation of the report of the tar if board. The bill would reduce the duties on wool and wool manufactures about 36 per cent. It would reclassify the grades of wool according to the recomm endation of the tariff board and duties would be made specific as in the present Payne Aldrich act. Under the bill offered today the equivalent ad valorem duty would be about 35 per cent on raw material as compared with 20 per cent in the Underwood bill. which was reported by the ways and means committee yesterday.
 In a statement Representative Hill pointed out that the republican measure would eliminate discriminations between thev woolen and worsted branches of the industry. He said it would make woolen rags dutiable at cents pound instead of 10 cents, would practically fix a duty on the wool on the manufactured article the same as if the same amount of wool was imported and would fix, in addition. an ad valorem duty adjusted to the cost of conversion in accordance with the tar- if boards schedule.
 The republican bill its framers say. would admit carpet wools practically free. It would compel carpet manufacturer to pay the duty and then allow a rebate of 99 per cent if he proved that he had used the products in processes of manu- facture. MT. Hill said as an offset fo this reductions averaging 311s per cent would be made on all grades of lcarpets
 ''The rate on all carpets win be 3O her cent ad valorem on a free wool basis. said Mir. Hill. This is substantially A reduction of 421s per cent on 90000. 600 pounds of wool over half the amount imported. and a corresponding reduction on carpets, with further reduction of probably 10 per cent in addition on the conversion cost. In every paragraph re- lating to manufactured articles the spe- cific duty applies only to the wool con- tained therein. It is impossible to say how much this will further reduce the net ad vaIorem of the measure until it is determined by the actual in1portations.
 If this bill passes the old scandal of rubber boots and furniture and office desks having a little wool as constit- uent part of their manufacture bein 2 classed as woolen goods. and a duty as- sessed at the pound rate upon the whole of them. would be absolutely done away with and the wool duty will in no case be laid upon anything but the wool it. self

RAILWAY AGENT
 ADDRESSES AUTAUGA FARMERS

.Prattvilie. March 22.-(Special )-Mr. T. O. Plunkett. special agent of the Southern railway in the farming department spent several hours in this city yesterday talk ing to number of leading farmers con corning the boil weevil and growing more corn to the acre than has been grown here under ordinary conditions He proved an interesting talker on farming, and the running fire of questions from those who heard him showed they were wideawake to the work MT. Plunkett is doing for the farming interest of this section of the south.
 One of the most important facts stated by Mir. Plunkett is perhaps new to a num- Der of people who are somewhat acquant- ed with the habits of the boil weevil. He states that he has proved to his own sats- faction, at least, that cold weather does not kill the boil weevil. He points to the fact that in the winter of 1904-1905 was one of the coldest in many years at that time, and the ravages of the boil weevil in Tex as, where they were getting in their dead ly work on the cotton at that time, proved to be unusually bad in the year 1905.

He states further that he made an ev animation during the very cold weatls in January of this year and found ma boil weevils safely housed in rotten wo bark of trees and other rubbish. fs said he found some dead ones, but least three-fourths of all he found alive when warmed by artificial hea
 He encouraged the farmers who he him by telling them that it is possib
 grow cotton after the advent of the scl weevil if they will follow the directions of the government experts and work to keep the pest down by destroying as many of them at all times as possible. One very effective manner of destroying the weevil was said to be by blowing them under in the fall after they had hbernated in the cotton stalks and other vegetable matter that may be found upon the land after the summer Is over. He argued that to bury the weevils under the ground two to five inches deep was, sufficient to kill them. The speaker also urged this method of dealing with the boil weevil as being preferably safer than burning the stalks and rubbish the land for the reason as he stated that he had seen them flying ahead of the fire to places of safety when the stalks were burned.

Local Data
Weather Conditions

Birmingham, March 22.-G P. M)-The weather has been cold over the country east of the Rockies during the past 24 hours due to the continued influence of the high pressure conditions that prevail. The center of the controlling disturbance overlies the eastern lake region and central Appalachian system. Temperatures have fallen over the Atlantic coast states and the gulf states east of the Mississippi, but a slight rise has occurred to the rear of the storm extending from the Rockies to the Appalachans, except along the gulf coast.
 A moderate low pressure area overlies the southern Rocky mountain and plateau sections of the country. It has caused fall in temperature of about 15 de- grees in the southwest.
