The plan outlined ythis committee Is
described in part, as follows:
1t calls attention TO the fact that the
Commissioners. who signed the treaty OF
Client on behalf of the United States
were appointed at Washington received
their Instructions from the Department
of State. and their work was ratified al
the National Capital and promulgated al
the White House. 1t is at Washington,
therefore. that these three events. which
laid the foundation of the one hundred
years of peace, can be celebrated with
the requisite local as we'll as national
environment. From this point of view.
the Washington celebration. which Will
be only one of many. In England. in
Canada and in the United States. Is the
most important of all TO the American
people. and it should therefore be made
imposing and picturesque. as BELTS the
National Capital and the political center
of the country.

Diplomats May Participate.

Another reason which especially
marks the National Capital as the nat
ural place for an impressive celebration
of the centenary of the Treaty OF Client
Is the presence here not only of all
brancehs Of our national government. but
Of the entire diplomatic corps. accredited
to the United States. 1t might. therefore.
properly he made the occasion for re-
union of the diplomatic representatives OF
al countries. at which the good will VIII CHI
exists among all Of them toward the
United States. and II 30 cordially re-
ciprocated by the American people. can
be given visible and adequate expression.
The committee recommends that the
Washington celebration of the one hun
dred years of peace between Great
Britain and the United States, establish
ed by the Treaty of 4hent. signed De-
cember -. 1914, be initiated on the Tooth
anniversary of the date Of signature, and
that 1t be afterward concentrated In the
week which includes the one hundredth
anniversary of the ratification or the
treaty by the United States Senate. by
the President, the exchange OF ratifica-
tons and the proclamation Of the treaty
by the President.
These are the significant events which
mark the actual beginning of the cente-
nary of peace. and are, therefore, the
dates which should be recognized.

URGES FARMERS
PICK SQUARES
DEMONSTRATION AGENT SAYS
COTTON TOO OLD TO PICK
ADULT WEEVILS.

County Demonstration Agent H. A.
Carpenter, in discussing the boil
Weevil situation says that nearly all
the cotton in Forrest county is now
too old to admit of the picking of
adult weevils. He asks the farmers,
"Are you going to raise cotton or is it
the intention to raise boil weevils?'
and adds if they intend to raise cotton
they must pick all infested squares.
He suggests that the farmers go over
every cotton field carefully, picking
all punctured squares once a week
twice a week would be better. The
squares should be burned when picked
Mr.. Carpenter says handful of pune
tured squares destroyed now is worth
more than bushel of squares destroy
ed next month. 'It will be impossible
to raise cotton if the first brood OF
weevils is permitted to hatch. Don't
wait until the squares fall to the
ground, but look for them on the plant
Get every square that is turning vel
low or is flared open," were state
ments which Mr.. Carpenter especially
emphasizes.
