lands and l know whereof I speak when I say that 1t is very difficult to completely bury average size cotton stalks. l have hitched three large
 mules to a twelve inch steel beam turning blow with log chain attach ment and failed to completely turn un- der average size cotton stalks on land clear of stumps. l have failed to turn under large size cotton stalks with four large mules hitched to a thirty inch disk blow. In fact, farmers who have attempted to blow under green cotton stalks early in the fall laugh at the advice sometimes given to blow under the stalks at all times and under all conditions as means of destroy ing the food supply of the weevils
 However, let us use large blows and strong teams and completely bury the stalks wherever 1t can be done.
 There is an insufficient number of cattle on many farms and plantations to thoroughly and completely denude the cotton stalks of every vestige of foliage, squares and bolls in a short time and it Is impossible to completely bury the cotton stalks on many farms and plantations. hence, 1t Is absolute ly necessary to burn the stalks as soon as the cotton Is picked out. When the stalks are burned the food supply of the adult weevils Is de- stroyed at once. The weevils in the immature stages in the squares and bolls are all destroyed at once, and the large majority of the adult weevils perish in the flames especially when the stalks are burned after sundown.

LAST OF THE PARIS LANTERNS.

A relic of the days of terror in the revolution, when the aristocrats were strung up to lanterns in the Paris streets, has disappeared. Un- til few weeks ago the last of these old lanterns, which were pulled up and down on pulley to a gallows- shaped iron rod, still hung opposite the Hotel de Lausanne on the Quai des Celestins. Some necessary re- pairs to the quay made it imperative to pull down the wall, and the lan- tern has been sent to the Musee Carnavalet, It was the last oil lamp in the Paris streets, and until few weeks ago was filled and lighted ev- cry evening.

the next crop. where the stalks were destroyed before October 18th only 8 per cent. of the weevils passed the winter. Where the stalks remained in the field until December 18th over 43 per cent of the weevils survived the winter. These figures will cer- tainly silence all opposition to the early fall destruction of the boil wee vil's food supply.
 No definite rule can be laid down as to the exact time for destroying the sole food supply of the boil weevil in the fall. However, the rule should be to destroy the squares. bolls, and foliage on the cotton stalks at the earliest possible moment in the fall. It Is much better to turn the cattle in the field, cut the stalks into pieces and blow them under good and deep, or cut and burn the stalks at an early date and thereby destroy small amount of cotton than to defer the work until later date When the weevil's only food is destroyed early
 
 lack of food before cold drives them into winter quarters or will go into winters quarters Hank and lean" and very few will survive for spring depre. datons.
 There are three methods of destroy. ing the squares, bolls and foliage on the cotton stalks, CD pasturing. (2) blowing under, (3) burning.
 Pasturing cotton fields is a good method of destroying the squares, bolls, and foliage-the sole food sup ply of the mature weevils and the in- cubators of the immature weevils- Nhere the cotton fields are fenced and the number of cattle turned into 8 field Is sufficient to eat all the squares, bolls and foliage in 8 few days. How, ever. let it be distinctly understood that the practice of turning a few head of cattle into fifteen or twenty acre cotton and corn field accomplishes no particular good. We all know from ob- servation that two or three head of cattle per acre, even when confined to the cotton field will eat very little of the green foliage tn one week. And let us not forget that it is necessary to completely destroy the food supply of the mature weevils and the breed ing places of the immature weevils at the earliest possible moment
 Flowing under cotton stalks Is a good method of destroying the only food supply of the mature weevils and of ending the life of all the immature weevils where there are few stumps and roots, small cotton stalks. and where large blows and strong teams can be had. I have held the blow handles in the piney woods, in the prairie section and in rich bottom

Experiments conducted by the Lou isiana State Crop Pest commission are summed up in the following extracts from Circular No. 2S. Where the cot ton plants were destroyed before Oc- tober 18th, only Der cent of the wee wills survived the winter to infest the next years's crop. Where the stalks were destroyed from October 18th to October 27th, an average of about 10 Der cent. of the weevils passed through the winter successfully. Where the stalks were destroyed between No vember 1st and 18th. an average ap-
 proximately of 22 per cent of the wee wills survived the winter. Postponing fall destruction of cotton stalks until
 the middle of December or later, per mitted over 43 per cent. of the wee wills to survive the winter and attack
