COTTON BOIL WORM
Don't Confuse II With Boil 'WeeMl.
How TO Detect and Deal with
the Worm.

Washington, D. c., Oct. q. The
Department of Agriculture has re-
Gently received numerous inquiries
about injury by the cotton boil worm,
especially in the eastern part of the
belt. In many cases this insect has
been confused with the boil weevil, and
several erroneous reports about the oc-
currence of that pest in new regions
have thus become prevalent.
The boil worm is the larva of a moth,
and is only very distantly related to the
weevil, which belongs to the large
group of teetles. The worm when first
| Matched is very tiny, but grows rapidly,
becoming finally little over an inch
long, greenish or brown in color. The
weevil grub is white and found onlv
within the cotton square or boil. 1t
never exceeds over one-half inch in
length.
In the case of the present outbreak,
the injury began so late in the season
that little can be done to protect the
present crop. Nevertheless. farmer
can insure the crop of the coming sea
son against injury by the pest with
comparatively little trouble and ex-
pense. The action that should be Ia
ken wherever injury has occurred this
year is to pick the cotton as quickly
as possible and Immediately thereafter
to plow and harrow the fields. This
work will result in the destruction OF
the immature stages of the worm which
have passed just beneath the surface
of the soil. In addition to the effect il
destroying the insect, the blowing anC
narrowing and e-harrowing of the field
will have very great value in the way
of preparing for the crop of the follow
ing season.
Methods of control of the boil worn
which are applicable in different sea
sons of the year are described in Farm
ers' Bulletin go.

Or. Rowan in Grenada.

DIR. w. H. Rowan, who has charge OF
the work of better hygiene and santa
ton in this state, spent Monday night
and par: of Tuesday in Grenada. Tues
day morning he lectured at the public
school and also to the student body OF
Grenada College. The Doctor is very
earnest in his work and his lectures car
not fail to arouse the people to the i'm
portance of the great work he is en-.
gagged in. His addresses are spicy anc
can not fail to get the attention of ev-
cry layman and especially and most i'm
portant of all, the ladies'.
The Doctor ''kinder" shook up things
little in Grenada. He ordered those
who were residing in their grocery
stores to move out, and made affidavit:
against several grocerymen.

Some National Needs.

That the states be left free to
regulate the right of suffrage. In this
matter certainly the state is the unit.
California has suffrage problems which
New York knows not of, and conse-
quently can not help to solve.
2 That Congress be reduced to one
house of not more than one hundred
members that is, never to exceed 100
Every person who thinks along demo-
cratic lines knows that we do not need
two houses, and all likewise know that
the present law making body is entire
ly unwieldly.
3 That all federal courts save the
supreme court be abolished, and that
court be created by the people and
made coordinate to the other depart
ments of the government, and not the
head of the government, as now.
| 4 A national currency created and
protected by the national government,
and banking laws so arranged that all
banks will have equal opportunities be-
kfore the law.
That the government be complete
ly divorced from the liquor traffic by
the repeal of the war measures thru
which said traffic buys the protection
of the government.
6 That labor and capital have the
right of petition to an authorized body,
and that all strikes and lockouts be
made unlawful while said petitions are
being heard. A strike is small civi
war, and like all wars the weak are the
losers which weak are generally the
latprers who strike.
7 That our war department be con
verted into a national highway builder
and the navy into a conservation de
partment. having for its object drain
age, education, health, eulture,. an'
conservation of human life and ou
other national resources.
s That the people may have the op
portunity to select and elect the Presi
dent of the United States without tn
intervention of politicians in conventio
assembled.
9 That each department of our gol
ernment issue weekly bulletin, show
ing what it is doing, which bulleti
shall be mailed free to every family
the u. S. G. 7. HowertOn.

6OOd Progress in Tick Eradication.

A dipping vat has been completed at
the railroad stock pens, at which farm
ers and stock raisers Of districts ], 3
and and a small portion of districts
and may dip their cattle Immediately
before loading, and are permitted to
ship them to any of the free markets
of the world and receive from 500 to
$500 more per car than they would if
shipped from areas where the work of
tick eradication was not being con-
Quoted.
Sixty-four vats in the above men
toned districts have al been changed
from one to two times with new medi-
cine so as to keep them up to the
standard strength. These watts are all
| in active operation and the farmers
living near by are dipping their cattle
! every TWO weeks so that they will go
into the winter free OF ticks and come
out next spring in better condition and
require less feed.
245 herds Of 20S4 cattle have been
dipped regularly the past 30days Sixty
herds of infested cattle have been quar-
antined, 2S herds Of these infested herds
Of these have been freed from ticks.
With a little effort by every one for
the next SO days, ticks will be scarce ii

Statement by fair Management.

As there seems to be misapprehen-
sion as to the cause of the closing of
the Ladies Building at the Fair on Fri
day evening during the rain, the man
agement of the fair desire to make the
following statement in regard thereto;
l The Ladies' building is very old
and dilapdated. There are numerous
holes in the roof as large as person 5
head. The rain pours into the building
almost as if there We're no roof. The
management thought of covering the
building before this fair, but for lack
of funds decided to take 'chance'
and, if able, do the repairing before
another fair.
2 The exhibits of fancy work in the
Ladies' department We're very numer-
Gus and valuable, there being over 800
different articles tackled on the coun-
ters and displayed on the walls, many
of which would have been damaged or
completely ruined if allowed to become
wet.
3 As all of these articles had nc
name on them and were only described
! by number, when it began to rain the
management of the fair requested the
people to vacate the building in order
that the ladies in charge of the depart
ment might gather up the exhibits
without damaging them and without
getting any numbers or tags misplaced
which they could not have done will
the men, women and children and ne
groes that were crowding in the hall
For that reason, and that reason alone
the people were requested to vacate tn
building. The grand stand, which |
we'll covered and leaks but little, wa
amply large to house every on tn
grounds.

sponsible for the different exhibits, q

Ray were in charge of the Ladies' de-
partment, the actual responsibility for
the preservation and safe keeping of
the valuable collection of exhibits was
on their shoulders. On Thursday night
when it began to rain, Mrs. Ray went
ont to the fair grounds and took up ev-
cry piece of fancy work exhibit, and at
Z O. clock Friday morning she was at
the fair grounds rearranging them for
exhibition-this to show you the work
and responsibility these ladies had.
The management deeply regrets that
the public misunderstood the order to
vacate the Ladies building, and hopes
that after this statement is read any
criticism or hard feelings will cease.
The management appreciates the
work done by Mrs. Morrison and Mrs
Ray and other ladies', in making thi:
department such decided success, ant
is willing to take the responsibility TO
all acts of them in connection with tn

Safety of Railway Travel.

New York. Oct. 19. .-Iutsresting H.
lustrations of the great degree Of safe
ty attending travel on American rail-
ways are given by prominent news
paper in an article based on Interstate
Commerce Commission figures which
show that during the SIX year period,
l905-ll, only one passenger out Of ev-
cry IA, 736 received injury Of any kind
and only one out of every 2,15, l25 was
killed.
Commenting upon these figures this
paper says;
"A typical journey for all roads in
the coutry is now "a miles, and there
taken on the average 2.275,l l22 suct
Journeys in safety to each journey
which results fatally: If a man Were
to ride out these 2,275, l22 safe jour
neys at two per day for each business
day in the year. it would take him 379-
years. To have begun in time to meet
his death in 1914, he would have had t
start in the year IT'S B. C., 45S year!
before Moses led the children of lsraae
through the Red Sea. By 80 B. {.
when Romulus was Regulating Re
mus by modern methods, the commu
ter would have ridden q 900. 900 miles
and have had So, 800, 600 yet to go
When Phydias. in 460 B. c., was car
rying the Olympian Zeus, our wayfare
would have been but one-third of tn
way toward his death; and even in III
year 800 A. D., when Alfred the Grea
was letting the griddle cakes burn, thi
traveller would have spent the equiva
lent of 207 years on the trains running
at 80 miles an hour, and would have s
wears more of actual travel to spend be
| fore meeting his fatal accident.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence Of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia, use cough medicines
that contain codine. morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have a
cold. An expectorant like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of pneu-
monia and other germ diseases. That
is why pneumonia never results from a
cold when Chamberlain's Cough Rene
DIV is used. 1t has worldwide reputa-
ton for its cures. Contains no NOR
phine or other sedative. Sold by al
| dealers.

Dickens as a criminoIooist.

Harper's Weekly: Dickens ante
dates Lombroso as a criminologist.
The laws delay and it's attendant in
conveniences serve as an object lesson
in many Of his works. In Barnaby
Ridge is to be found a comprehensive
study Of the criminal crowd. II
Crime has tempted many authors;
but 1t was Dickens who discovered the
criminal. Kurella, the anthropologist.
maintains that the descriptions of the
English author reveal the maIefactor
in a new light, with a quite peculiar
psychological organization. Certain 1t
is that Dickens was the first in the
field with his illusions to the facial
and other physical characteristics of
the criminal. See, for example, his
description of Jack Dawkins, the
youthful pickpocket: He was a
snub-nosed, aat-browed, common
faced boy enough; short Of his age.
with rather bow legs and little sharp,
ugly eyes" Moreover, Dickens laid
stress on the theory of heredity.
Where Dickens shines especially Is.
in his definitions of the economic fac
tors of crime. Poverty and misery.
have been depicted by him in all their
aspects and revolving squalor. Unfor-
tunate and erring childhood, is shown
up by this author of the doomed and
often irresponsible victim Of criminal
surroundings. Another favorite theme
of his is the conduct Of a person,
haunted by the ~recollections and wor-
ried by the long concealment Of a
crime. w-
