23,OOO MILES FREED
 OF COTTON WEEVIL
DETERMINATION, H w EVER NOT PERMANENT; FARM
 FRS MUST FIGHT ON.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Reduction of boil weevils in the cotton belt dur | ing 1911 undoubtedly had an import ant bearing on the production of the cotton crop, in the opinion of W. D. Hunter of the department of agricul- lures bureau of entomology. On a report on the movement of the Mexi- can cotton boil weevil, Mir. Hunter says:
 During 1911 the boil weevil was greatly reduced in numbers through out the entire region. This resulted from a combination of climatic infiu- ences extending over a period of about three years. The insect was ex- terminated in about 23.000 square miles in northwestern Texas and western Oklahoma. Undoubtedly these conditions had an important bearing on the large crop of 1911.
 Notwithstanding the great reduc- ton, considerable advance was made to the east and north when the dis persion movement began in August" !"
 The recurrence of the climatic con- ditions which did so much toward re ducing the numbers of boil weevils can be expected only at very infre- quent intervals, says Mir. Hunter.
 With the return of seasons favor able to it, the boil weevil will un- Goubtedly regain all of the lost terri tory and multiply to the same extent as it has in the past" he continues 1t must not be supposed from the sit uation in 1911 that there is any hope for a permanent reduction. On the contrary, it is necessary for planters to continue the:r fight against the pest according to the plans detailed by the department of agriculture"

MT. VERNON.

After much cloudiness and gloomy weather, Sunday afternoon brought a ray of sunshine, reminding us of spring day. Yet the ice and mud and slush greeted us everywhere. We have often been reminded of the fact. that much cold, freeziny weather was a sure siyn of food crop year. So may it be, and We trust it will. But Hicks, the weather man." predicts muh drcy weather in the middle and southern states for 1912 This re- minds us of the importance of deep plowiny and a thorough cultivation of the land before planting a crop, and a quick and shallow ultivation of the soil will greatly help in making a good crop. Since the advance in the price of cotton, quite lot from here has been thrown on the market, and a few days more will find it all sold. It seems the best cotton experts failed to guess we'll as to the price of cotton for February, for they predicted that to 8 1-2 cents and less would be the rul-
 ing price, so many of us sold before the advance We are glad to see 1t up to 10 cents, however, and should never be less. All sympathize with MT. and Mrs lobe in the loss of their in- fant daughter the past week. Mrs. lobe has been quite sick, too. Mrs. C. D. Plant and Mrs. Allen Barrett visited at the home of Mrs. lobe this week. ...J. R.

BUTTER TRUST"
OBJECT OF SUIT
Government Starts Action to
Dissolve the EIgin Board
of Trade.

Chicago-Suit to dissolve the Elgin
butter trust" and the American AS
sociation of Creamery Manufacturers,
was filed in the United States court
here, by Representatives of the depart
ment of justice. A conspiracy arbi-
trarily TO fix the price OF butter in the
interest of big manufacturers and
storage concerns is charged. the gov
ernment also alleging the two organ
izations work together TO fix prices Of
butter and eggs.
Twenty-one individual defendants
also are named in the suit
The petition alleges that the two
organizations for five years have been
storing sufficient butter to create
scarcity. thereby causing high prices
in violation Of the interstate COM
merce act.
Price manipulation by the Elgin
Board of Trade. the government
charges, permitted the accumulation
of the III. .OO0,O0o pound butter corner.
II is locked up safely to be doled out
in quantities small enough to prevent
the supply from catching up to the
demand
Prices inflated to from 10 to Is
cents a pound above normal will be
asked for this butter Most OF the
loot will be divided among a small
ring OF men. including several beef
packers, according to reports in the
hands OF the federal authorities.
Investigation revealed the fact that
on December ! there were 25.000, 900
pounds OF butter in cold storage in ex-
cess of the amount similarly held on
the same date year ago. This Was
made possible. say butter experts. be-
cause Of the greater supply this year.
Just who the men are who will en-
Joy this sudden and unearned wealth.
and just how they have been able to
get the butter supply of the nation SO
completely under their thumbs. is
what the government hopes to prove
80 conclusively as to shut off the IL
legal harvest.

Under present conditions il is
claimed that first class mail is pay
ing a surplus to the government
of nearly $40 100000 year. Al
.though il requires 2 cents to mail
a letter anywhere in the United
States. it is estimated that it actu-
ally costs the government about ]
cent to carry il. At present the de-
partment receives on letter mail an
average of S4 cents per pound. e.
quail to $3.50 per ton. Although
this first class mail supplies less
than one eighth of the total tonnage
o. the mails. yet it pays IS per cent
of the total revenue. This Is the
ehlef reason WHY the advocates OF

rate should be cut in two.
