weeks in the summer months,
whereas in the winter time the
life is much longer. due to the
fact that the miller hibernates
as an adult throughout the cotton
belt. with exception Of the
extreme southern part of Texas,
where pups may survive the
winter.
There are from six TO eight
generations annually, the first
brood appearing in South Texas
some time in March or April.
Most of the eggs are depos-
tied under the leaves and II IS
for this reason the worms are
usually not noticed until they

The best results in the cotton
fields last summer were OBJ

ordinary heavy blue eingham,
and applying the Paris Green
with equal parts Of alr-slacked
lime or -four at the rate OF
two pounds of the mixture per

2. Arsenate of Lead. ~ Arse
nate of lead is rapidly coming TO
the front as an insectcide.
There are two forms of this ma
terial on the market, the putty
form and the dry powder form.
This latter is used as a dust spray
by some of our growers. IL has
the advantage of adhering to
the foliage of the plant for a
longer period of time. and,
at the same time does not burn
the leaves. However, about
three pounds of this material
must be used per acre TO make
il effective. No lime is re-
quired.
3. London Purple. On ac-
count of its variation in compo-
sition, London purple is not ex-
tensiveIy used. 1t is slow in
action and IS more likely to burn
the foliage of the plants. Ordl.

manner as Paris green.
IL must be borne in mind that
il is necessary TO apply dust

plants.

HUNT BIG METE0R|TE
Huge Mass of Iron Knocked Hole
in Earth in Arizona
Such Is Belief Of Prof. EIIhu Thomson
Movement Started to Find I'm
mense Piece of Ore Believed
to Be Worth Millions.

Phoenix, Ariz.-About the origin OF
most of the craters of the earth's sur
face there is little dispute. They are
of all sizes. We find them in the
Sandwich Islands. with floors from
three to four square miles in area.
These have reminded Professor Pick
ering Of nothing less than the ring
craters on the moon. In Arizona,
near Canon Diablo, is crater-like de-
preston 1000 feet in diameter and
500 feet deep. The rim can be seen
from a great distance, and, such rims
being called "buttes," this particular
rim is known as Coon butte. The ir-
regular contour of the rim is marked
by broken rocks, some as large as a
house. The outer slopes down to the
plain are covered with similar masses,
pieces of many tons weight having
been thrown thousands of feet away
from the crater. But there is no
lava about the butte, and this would
seem summarily to dispose of the idea
that Coon butte is the site Of vol
cano.
DR.. G. K. Gilbert many years ago
suggested that the ring-shaped pits on
the moons surface were caused by
the impact of giant meteorites. and
for some time he held the view that
Coon butte must have been formed
in similar manner. This view has
of late been revived. Prof. Elihu
Thomson, in letter to the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers. re-
minds US that the masses of iron flung
down the outer slopes of the crater
are sent to all parts Of the world as
meteoric iron. Mr.. Barringe has
spent considerable sums in explora-
ton under the firm conviction that he
will find large amount of meteoric
iron below the surface. So far he has
been unsuccessful 1t is calculated
that 600 bore-holes, each costing
about 9400. will be necessary to make
sure of finding the meteoric mass. as.
suming it to have been 500 feet in
diameter.
The mass of the meteorite is esti
mated to have been at least five mil
lion tons. OF this the greater part
would be iron. but per cent. would
be nickel. and there would be three

Crime to Kiss.

In Russia 1t is crime for lovers
to kiss in public. and not very long
ago two young men and. two young
women were arrested in Odessa for
having been guilty of this offense.
They had all been dining together in
a restaurant, and kissed on parting.
They were condemned to short terms
of imprisonment, and the sentences
were confirmed on appeal. The gen
erai fine in Russia for a kiss in the
open street is Is sh.llings, but in a

Does any first voter realize the null
meaning of American citizenship?
To be a full-fedged citizen of the
United States, at the entrance to
young manhood. is one of the greatest
privileges in all the tide of time. No
citizen of ancient Babylon, or Greece,
or Rome, could claim anything re-
sembling such heritage. in enlighten-
ed freedom, unlimited opportunity,
useful development and the capacity
for real happiness. The young Amer
lean citizen is the heir of all the ages.
But his priceless heritage carries
with 1t an equal measure of RESPONSE
bility. His duties are of the highest
order ever known to man. To perform
them properly should be his chief con-
cern at all times. BY this test of eff
cheney will his usefulness be recorded
for this and future generations.
There must needs be two political
parties in our Republican form of gov
ernment. But before a young man
joins either party. he should deliber-
ately apply the supreme business
tests to both, viz: Which can give
the best reason for its existence;
which looks to the future with the
greater confidence of benefiting the
human racer"
Any young man entering business
should be glad of the chance to be-
come a member of an established firm
with years of success behind it.
Record of Republican Party.
And SO in choosing his political
affiliations the first voter should study
thoroughly the platforms, principles
and records of the great political par

lican party is great constructive.
patriotic league, whose upper register
of fame contains the names of most
great Americans who have lived and
wrought during the last fifty-eight

it was under the leadership of the Re-
publican party that our Union was
preserved and the stain of slavery
washed forever from the Stars and
Stripes; that Cuba was freed and
started her on her career of destiny;
that the Philippines and Porto Rico
were rescued from three centuries of

The democrats of N. Oak. will
certainly make no mistake in
choosing Frank A. Wilson of
Bathgate as their national com.
mitteeman. He has been true
to the cause of democracy
and steadfast in his service of
the party's best interests in the
state for more than a quarter of
q century and his reputation
for honesty, fairness and pro.
gressiveness are sufficient guar.
antee that, if elected, the affairs
of his Office will be properly
conducted for the best interests
of all To praise Wilson is not
to disparage the other good men
in the field but in our opinion
the Bathgate man is the one
upon whom, under all the cir.
cumstancee, the democrats OF
the state can unite for the best
interests of all concerned. We
ask our democratic readers to
give Mr.. Wilson favorable con
sideration.
