STATESMEN DISCUSS
WEEVl WITH HOUSTON



Secretary Of Agriculture Houston told =
score q Southern Senators and Repre-
sentatives at . conference yesterday that
the Hspartment Of Agriculture Ia doing
all II possibly can to fight the boil weevil.
Senatof Ransdell Of Louisiana, At
whose suggestion the conference was
called. wanted to know II the depart
ment could not employ an expert to
study the life Of the boil weevil and
learn how II can be exterminated. Secre-
tary Houston said the department has
had experts studying the weevil for
years. and that 1t has been found that
the best results are procured by tine
demonstrating to farmers how to grow
cotton despite the weevil, by improved
cultural methods, and by growing crops
other than cotton.
Senator vardaman Of Mississippi said
that Congress would appropriate SO, 900, :
coo a year to fight the weevil II the de-
partment could show that this money
was necessary to wipe out the pest. Sen
ator Ransdeli said that the weevil has
been unusually active this year. ana with
the other Representatives from the cot
ton States. gave the impression that the
department has not been doing all 1t can
to fight he weevil.
Secretary Houston said this assertion is
erroneous and pointed out that last
years cotton crop was the largest in the
history of the country. The conferences
were attended by Senators and Repre-
sentatives from Alabama. Arkansas.
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma.
South Carolina, Texas. and Mississippi.

GAS OFF T0S43-4
and BOOM ENDS
Drop Of Fourteen Points in a
Week Emphasizes Futiity
of Movement.
STOCK HAS GREAT MERIT
Wall Street Industrials Display Much
Strength-Leading Railroads
Also Make Gains.
BY j. A. FLEMING.

WASHINGTON Gass low at 81 3-4aS5.
The story is plain, telling of one more
futile movement in good solid invest
ment stock with the end Of establishing
higher prices, and at a time when every
speculative center was moving at a
funeral pace, with money tight and hard
to get
1t was an inopportune movement. and
it brought only disappointment and left
some sore spots in its wake.
All of which should not be counted
against Washington Gas. The stock is
just as good as it Was before the squirt,
its dividend is just as sure, its problems
TO be solved are not likely to affect it in
any way. Appearances were not deceit
ful-they We're a true indication to an
observer.
Perhaps it's little better. for there has
been considerable exchange of stock
above so that may call for protection, for
this stock has gone into strong hands,
and it MAJ ne that it will be protected
something that no insioer in Gas has
heretofore undertaken.
There should he no special dsappoint-
mcnt on the part of those who wanted to
sell out at about 80 or better and
couldn't. Their holdings will still continue
TO yield well on the purchase price. 1t
is to be considered first and last as an
investment security.
The Washington Herald could find no
reason for the boom movement. and said
50 plainly
That there We're good buying. orders,
several OF them is practically certain, but
that the orders did not cover any such
business as was transacted, is also I'M
deTStoOd to be fact.
In the meantime the Gas Company is
moving alcnS in its steady way, with the
best earnings of its career.
Railway preferred sold at IS.
