Washington, D. c.. March 18.-As.
Stunning that William H. Taft will be
the presidential nominee of the repub-
lican party, the leaders of the Tepub-
lican party are busy discussing the
character of the platform that is to be
adopted by the Chicago convention in
June.
1t is known that at several import
ant conferences among the republican
leaders the question of a platform has
been carefully considered, and it has
been determined to put in plank
strongly indorsing the attitude of
President Taft in prosecuting trusts
under the Sherman law.
Every plank that is being considered
has in view the character, personality
and achievements of President Taft.
1t has been informally agreed that
there shall be no reference to Cana
dian reciprocity, and that there shall
be liberal labor planks. 1t is the pres
ent intention to give strong indorse-
ment to a parcels post system, and it
is understood that many of the South
ern and rural delegates have deter
mined to fight for a plank recommend
ing federal aid in the building of in
terstate highways.
The platform, however, will deal
chiefly with the tariff, and the pledge

Washington, Feb. I4.-Reduc-
tion of boil weeviI in the cotton
belt during 1917 undoubtedly had
an important bearing OIL the pro-
duction of the record cotton crop,
in the opinion of w. D. Hunter,
of the Department of Agriculture's
Bureau of Entomology. III a report
on the movement of the Mexican
cotton boil weevil, Mr.. Hunter
says:
During 1917 the boil weevil
was greatly reduced in numbers
throughout its entire range. This
resulted from combination of eli
matte influences extending over a
period of about three years The
insect was exterminated in about
20, 900 square miles in northwes-
tern Texas and western Oklahoma.
Undoubtedly these conditions had
an important bearing on the large
crop of 1911.
Notwithstanding the great re.
duction its advance was made to
the east and north when the dis.
persion movement began in Au-
gust"
The recurrence of the climatic
conditions which did so much to-
ward reducing the numbers of boil
weevils can be expected only al
very infrequent intervals, says Mr..
Hunter.
with the return of seasons fa-
vorable to 1t the boil weeviI I'M
doubtedIy will regain all of the
lost territory and multiply to the
same extent as it has in the PAST,
he continues.
1T must not be supposed from
the situation in 1917 that there i
any hope for a permanent elimina
ton. On the contrary 1t Is neces
sary tor planters.to continue thei
fight against the pest according Il
the plans detailed by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture"
