sent to conserve his energies, to exert
himself not beyond the bounds Of his
limited endurance.
Several years ago Darrow, who is the
author of several books, wrote:
All my life have been planning and
hoping and thinking and dreaming and
lettering and waiting. All my life I
have been getting ready to begin to do
something worth while. I have been
waiting for the summer and waiting
for the fall. have been waiting for
the winter and waiting for the spring,
waiting for the night and waiting for
the morning, waiting and dawdling and
dreaming until the day is almost
spent and the twilight close at hand"
Yet the man who wrote that Of him
self was only fifty when it was written,
and he is now only f1fty-four. The
words breathe humility and lack of
self assertiveness, but Darrow is
mott at all humble when occasion de-
mands expression Of his true self, which
is that of whole souled fighter for the
causes In which he enlists body and
mind. Yet he is believer, theoretical
at least, in the doctrine Of nonresist-
ance. which he learned from Tolstoy.
It may be said of barrow that he
hates fight; that he would like to see
the asperittes Of the world smoothed
down without fighting. but that he can
and does battle Justify when his sym
pathies are reused. His philosophy,
then, is something like that of Hamlet
when he declared: y Il.
The time is out Of Joint: o cursed spite
That ever was born to set it right! 4
For thirty-six Of his fifty-four years
barrow has been q lawyer, most OF the
time in Chicago. He is an Ohio man
by birth. and his schooling was re-
ceived in the public schools Of his
state. He was still q very young man
when he met John P. Altgeld, the
greatly criticised governor of Illinois.
and the two men found much in COM
mon in their ideas Of life and society.
His attention was turned early to the
labor union question, and he attracted
international notice when he defended
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone in the
dynamitin9 case. He served as coun-
sci in the famous Debs strike case and
in other Important matters. He has
been member Of tho Illinois legisla-
ture for one term and has been urged
to stand for mayor Of Chicago on q
radical Platform. but he has refused. as
he has no liking for public ONCE.
The word most frequently applied to
Darrow IL radical" and both his
friends and his enemies assert that It
is the. term which describes him best.
He is not only radical. however; he
is one Of Americas most radical radi-
Gals in ideas and expression.

looking at his back might reveal some
thing abont HMM other words, that
inspection of a mans back, disclosing
the way in which he carries himself,
might tell something about the mans
mental and moral makeup?
The chain of reasoning runs about as
follows: If a man has reason to think
well of himself, either because he has
attained success in the world or is in
the way of attaining it or because he
has in him the stuff which makes for
success. that fact will be reflected in
his bearing. He will stand erect, with
shoulders braced back, consciously or
unconsciously, SO that he looks the
world in the face. The hollow Of the
back Is drawn in, the chest Is thrown
out. and the mans dorsal line, running
along his spine, becomes an index to his
character.
Speaking generally, it may be assert
ed that the owner Of a strong, square,
well set back is man Of consequence

are exceptions in the men who seek to

working hours Of the day-or of the

fail, and their backs demonstrate their

Pasturing cotton fields is a good
method of destroying the squares,

ply of the mature weevils and the in
where the cotton fields are fenced and
the number of cattle turned into a
field is sufficient to eat all the squares,
bolls and foliage in a 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 OBJ
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 in 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 plows and strong teams
can be had. I have held the pillow

WORK CONTINUES

Little Rock, April 4.-The high
water in the Fourche drainage dis
! trict has not interfered with the work
of building levees near the mouth of
Fourche, so far as Lund & Hill, engi-
neers of the district, are aware. They
have two inspectors with the camp of
|. R. Bobbit, at the mouth of Fourche,
.ard these inspectors have not report
ed a suspension of work. Mr.. Bobbit
has about 100 teams at work on the
levee contract, divided into two
camps The largest camp is at Judge
Asher's place, near the mouth of
Fourche, and the other is on the
Keats plantation.
Joseph McCoppin, who has the con-
tract for cutting out the right of way,
stated yesterday that he had been
able to do little work for a week on
account of the rains, but that as soon
as the weather permits he would con-
tinue cutting out the right of way.
He has sub-contractors and camps
scattered along the right of way.
The present overflow and backwat-
er, the engineers say, is good indi-
cation of the need of drainage and
protection from overflow in the

KILL BOIL WEEV|LS
Necessity of Reducing Number oil
Insects Very Urgent.
Most Important Step In Producing Cot
ton as Found by Experimenters Is
Destruction Of Foliage and
Squares.

By G. H. ALFOE1D, Special Agent of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work, Jackson, Miss)
This is lesson No. one, and it should
be thoroughly learned. The need OF
SO reducing the over-wintered weevils
as to reduce the cost and labor of pick
ing the weevils and punctured squares
to the minimum is very urgent.
There are four methods of reducing
the number of weeyils to the mini
mum: First, completely denude the cot
bolls, the weevils sole food supply
pillow the stalks under good and deep,
or burn the stalks at the earliest pos
sible moment in the fall. Second, at
some time during the winter, destroy
the rubbish in and about the fields
quarters for weevils. Third, when the
weevils appear ON the little cotton
in the spring pick them off and destroy
them. Fourth, pick up the punctured
squares and destroy them for at least
one month after the first squares form
on the cotton.
The results obtained by the United
States bureau Of entomology, the farm
ers' demonstration work, the Louisi-
ana State Crop Pest commission and
thousands Of successful farmers point
to the supreme importance of the early
fall destruction of the boil weevirs
sole food supply, the squares. small
bolls, and foliage on the cotton stalks.
The conclusion reached by thousands
of experimenters justify me in making
the statement that the most impor-
tant step in producing cotton in boil
weevil territory is the early fall de-
struction of the foliage, squares, and
immature punctured bolls on the cot
ton stalks. In fact, feel almost JUS
titled in saying that the early fall de-
struction of the cotton stalks outbal-
ances all other remedies that may be
employed to destroy the weevils.
In an experiment performed by the
Bureau of Entomology in Calhoun
County, Tex, the stalks growing on
40 acres of land were destroyed early
in October. Careful records kept dur
ing the following season showed that
the destruction of stalks on this land
increased the yield $14.56 per acre.
An experiment was conducted On OPP
posite sides of the Guadalupe river
near Victoria, Tex. The stalks were
burned on one farm the latter part Of
September, and on the other they were
allowed to stand until in spring before
planting time. Forty acres on the
farm on which the stalks were de-
stroyed made Is bales. Forty acres
on the other farm made and 10 bales.

COUNCIL NAMES
SEWER ASSESSORS
BOARD FILES ESTIMATES
COST OF PROPOSED SEWER
SYSTEM is ESTIMATED
AT S48,959.00.

From Saturdays Daily.
John Hartley, c.. E. Durham an
Prof. C. j. Greene were elected last
night by the city council to serve as
assessors for Sewer Improvement
District No. / and to ascertain the
amount of benefits derived by each lot
in this district by reason of the in
stallation of tbs sewer system.
The election of the assessors follow
ed the receipt of report by the board
of improvement of the district giving
a preliminary estimate of the cost of
constructing the proposed system at
S48,959. The board in it's formal re-
port stated that it had organized by
the election of J. w. James as chair
man and S. E. Anderson as secretary,
H. B. Ingram being the third men,
Der, and had employed G. H. Burr to
make plans and estimates for the pro-
posed system.
Prof. Burr's estimate is, in brief, as
follows:
S;x-inch sewer, $500 feet at 81
cents, 1892; eight-inch sewer, 47,100
feet at As cents, $21, 1875; 10-inch sew
er, $500 feet at Sc cents, $3,136; r.
inch sewer, $500 feet at 81 cents, $4,-
026; flush tanks, 26 at S62, $1,612;
manholes, 1877 at $34, $6,69S; septic
tanks, two at $3,400, $4,000; real es-
tate $4,000; supervision and sundries,
$4,000; total cost, S48,959.
The council also adopted a resolu-
ton organized a fire department of
three companies, one to be located in
each ward. Each company is to be
composed of nine men, of whom one is
to be the captain, and all are to be un-
der the direction of the chief. j. A
King was elected to the latter posi-
ton, at salary of $50 per ,annum,
and instructed to enlist men for the
companies and report them to the
council for election. Each member
of the company is excused from street
and road service.

Experiments conducted by the Lou
isiana State Crop Pest commission are
summed up in the following extracts
from Circular No. %. Where the cot
ton plants were destroyed before Oc-
tober 18th, only per cent of the Vice.
wills survived the winter to infest the
next years's crop. Where the stalks
were destroyed from October 18th to
October 9th, an average of about IS
per cent. Of the weevils passed through
the winter successfully. Where the
stalks were destroyed between No
vember 1st and 25th, an average ap-
proximately of % 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
the next crop. Where the stalks were
destroyed before October 18th only 3
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 GER
tainly silence all opposition to the
early fall destruction Of the boil Wee
Wis 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.
1t is much better to turn the cattle
in the field, cut the stalks into pieces
and pillow them under good and deep,
or cut and burn the stalks at an early
date and thereby destroy a small
amount of cotton than to defer the
work until later date. When the

in the fall, they will either starve for
