FIGHT ON BOIL WEEVIL.

Work TO Control Pest Should be
Extended and Congress Should Ap-
propriate $1O,OOO,OOO.

washington, July ga more ag-
gressive fight against the spread of the
boil weevil which Is devastating the
southern cotton field was today de-
termined upon at conference be-
tween senators and representatives of
southern States and agricultural de-
partment officials. The conference,
called at the suggestion of Senator
Ransdell of Louisiana, agreed that all
the government resources should be
brought into the fight against the in
sect.
In the course of the discussion, SEN
ator Vardaman of Mississippi declar-
ed that congress should make avail
able $1O,0O0,00O Immediately to aid
the department of agriculture in its
fight against the pest. Several men,
Ders or the congress present agreed
with Mr.. Vardaman.
Senator Ransdell in opening the dis
cussion declared there was urgent
need for an Immediately more agrees
sive fight against the boil weevil in
stead of the indirect methods now en-
ployed by the department. In reply
1t was pointed out that these methods
thus far had proven effective and that
they could be made more so through
the extension of the work.
E. F. Evans, an expert of the de-
partment, declared that there was a
small section in Mississippi and Louis
lana where the boil weevil could not
be checked through proper agricul-
tural methods. He said there were
not enough men in the work to reach
the vast territory involved and urged
that the demonstrations work be ex-
tended.
Tie proposal for a neutral zone to
head Off encroachments Of the pest
was only briefly referred to. At the
suggestion Of Assistant Secretary Gal
loway a committee probably will be
appointed at an early date to consider
all the phases Of this proposal with
the view Of putting 1t into operation
If found feasible.
Among those who took part in the
conference In the office Of Secretary
Houston were: Senator'S Bankhead
and Johnston, Alabama; Robinson,
Arkansas: Williams and Vardaman,
Mississippi; Gore. Oklahoma; Smith,
South Carolina; Smith, Georgia; |;
Fletcher. Florida; Sheppard, Texas
and Ransdell of Louisiana. and Rep
lesentatives Abercombie and Hehin,
Alabama; Sisson, Harrison, Collier
and Quinn, Mississippi; Aswell. Elder,
LazarO and Morgan. Louisiana.
From the department were present.
Secretary Houston. Assistant Secre-
tary Galloway, w. A. Taylor, Chief
of the bureau of plant industry, and
l.. o. Howard, chief of the bureau OF
entomology.
Secretary Houston has decided to
hold another conference next week.
Entomologists at the conference to-
day as we'll as the senators differed as
to the practicability Of the barrier
method. The entomologists who have
studied the habits of the cotton pest,
legal advisers and crop experts will
discuss the various phases of the sub
ject at the conference.
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
author of the plan, will be present.

lous ascent of the steep hillside, and,
after numerous terrific battles with
the deadly sand-bur, succeeded in
reaching the summit, where most
wonderful view of Hanauma bay was
secured. The natives assured the ex-
plorers and their wahines that they
were the first white persons who had
gazed on that scene of splendor since

drenched to the skin and, only by
heroic efforts did they retain their
equilibrium and escape being washed
off by the angry pillows.
Samples of portions of coral strand
and sea shells of wondrous beauty
were collected by the party during
this trip and 1t is probable that they
will be forwarded to Washington to
the national museum, following a mi
mute examination by the scientists of
the party.

halted. In this cave we're found more

TRAINING SCHOOL
OF The navy
The Goat

It Is my ambition as secretary OF
the navy to make the navy q great
university, with the college extension
system, high school extension. and pri-
mary extension, all on board ship.
Every ship should be q school, and
every officer should be q schoolmas-
ter. In this way we can give the
young man his rightful chance to bet
ter his position, and at the same time
benefit the navy by Increasing the
knowledge and usefulness of its per-
sonnet.
II is not easy to secure the full com
plement of young men of character
needed each year to man our ships.
To stimulate enlistments It has been
necessary to resort to recruiting sta
tions, travelling recruiting parties and
advertisements.
We are all familiar with the gaily
Icoiored advertisements rot the. spaFEs
showing the American blueiaeket n
4 natfy costume, doing all sorts Of IN
teresting things. One Of the chief fsa-
lures of these advertisements u the
offer to young men, as an inducen1ent
to enlist, Of the opportunity TO learn
one of more than a score Of trades.
When became secretary Of the
navy. determined to find out II the
young men who had been attracted to
the navy by these advertisements
we're really getting what had been
PROMISED them. / soon reached the
conclusion that only in exceptional
cases has the navy been making good
its promises. found that 1t was only
the young man of exceptional merit
and ability, or with unusual deter
mination to learn a useful trader who
was really getting the kind Of instruc-
ton which all who enlisted had been
led to believe would be offered them.
decided then that theither the navy
must stop publishing such advertise
ments, or else it must give the young
nan all that the advertisements prom
Use.
intend to do the latter intend to
see that the young man who In good
faith accepts the promise Of the navy
to teach him useful trade shall have
abundant opportunity to learn. con-
slider that to give the enlisted man
that chance which as an ambitious
American he demands is my chief bus
mess in the navy department todAy.
To establish on each ship school
of instruction for the enlisted man Is
my aim at present. These ship schools
should be open not exclusively to the
exceptional man, but to each young
man on board. purpose that every
young man who enlists shall be given
at the outset an opportunity to choose
for himself what line of training he
wishes to pursue, whether 1t be cleo
tricity, photograph. carpentry, maehi-
merry. plumbing, painting. shipfitting,
coppersmithing blacksmithing, boiler
making, gun-pointing, hospital, stew
ardship, commissary stewardship,
bookkeeping, stenography, or any OF
the other occupations for which the
navy is prepared to fit him. When he
has made his choice he sould be as
signed to regular course and given
regular instruction in the kind OF
work that he has selected. l wish to
emphasize the fact that intend to see
that first of all every young man Is
given his choice, and, second, that he
actually receives that kind Of instrnc-
ton which he elects. The rest must
depend upon the young man himself.
