INJURIES THE COTTON PLANT.
Boot Louise Lessons Crop, Doing
Great amage.

For several years past this insect
has been recognized as more or less
serious pest to young cotton plants.
The insect is known to OCCUR through
out South Carolina, but seems to as
sumo the role of an important insect
pest to cotton oily on the coast and
near coast counties Of the state. In
these counties, the injury seems to
be increasing with each succeeding
year. The present season has been
very favorable for the root louse de-
velopment and consequently, the in
Jury to cotton has been unusually Sc
we're. The insect is easily recognized
by its position on the plant and by
being of blush color, less than 1872
of an inch in length. 1t is somewhat
similar to the ordinary cotton leaf
of louse which causes the cotton
leaves to curl up during cool, moist
weather. The injury is occasioned by
the small insects sucking the juice
from the young tap roots Of the cot
ton, causing them to die. An infested
plant is easily recognized by the
stunted and wilted appearance OF the
foliage. In their activity, the root lice
are dependant upon the ants as a
means OF travelling from one plant to
another and, consequently the farmer
must look upon the ants as enemeis
instead of friends.
In the spring, as soon as the ants
are noticed ecavaxting about the
Young cotton plants, begin a system

nossible. n in1c ted cotton should

this way the -nts are thoroughly
iisorganized and must turn attention
20 organization instead of nursing the
cotton root lice-hence their progress
IS greatly retarded. This process
should be kept up until the cotton is
thoroughly established in the soil]
and in a thrifty growing condition.
BY far the most satisfactory means
IF controlling the cotton root louse
vet found is by following carefully
planned system of rotation Of at leas'
.hree years duration. This system
should be planned in such a way as
o prevent cotton from following eth
or cotton or corn, but a crop OF smal
grain and cowpea hay should precde
4 crop of cotton on badly infested
lands. The following three year TO
tation system has been used VIII
marked success on the farm OF Juoge
G. A. Woods at Marion. Corn followed
5y oats and cowpea hay, followed b!
lotion the third year. This system
has been followed on an orlglnall!
badly infested field for the past nV'
wears and as a result the root lous'
injury has been reduced to PRACTICAL!
nothing.
# is OF immense value to have
winter cover crop upon the infested
and at all times as it prevents tn
winter food plants of the cotton roo
'ouse from growing upon the land
This naturally reduces the lnfcsta
ton for the following spring.
So far repellents against this IN
sect have been of little value as rem
I edial measures.

the three-year-old eggs were still per-
fectly wholesome.
AS evidence he told Of feeding
them to members Of his family with
no i'll effects. He joined to the GUS

hundred years old", because there
were no eggs in this country old
enough to suit him.

ANDREW RosenbIatt.
BOY IS HURLED TO
DEATH FLYING KITE
PIunges Three Stories Down
misunderstanding by Par
ents Is Unheeded.

AS the result of not needing his
parents repeated warning, 9-year-old
Andrew Rosenblatt is lying dead at
his home, 81 Jones street The lad
was instantly killed today when he
fell from the roof of a three-story
house at 81 Jones street, while flying
a kite. Patrolman Philip Benz, of
the Fourth precinct who was sta
toned at Springfield and Belmont
avenues, summoned the City Hospital
ambulance, but when it arrived the
boy was beyond medical aid.
The boy left his home about s
o'clock this morning with a newly
made kite in his hand. His mother
forbade him to climb to sany of the
roofs. Abraham Rosenblatt, the lads
father, had spanked him last Sunday
for going to the roof of his home with
his kite, and today the father remind
ed him of the incident. But, despite
their admonitions, Andrew, in COM
pany with one of his playmates, Isa-
dore Lovengrub, of 43 Jones street,
went to the roof of the house at 81.
The two youngsters had been there
but a short time when the Loven-
grub boy was called down by his
Dust how Andrew came to
plunge down the airshaft between
numbers 35 and 81 is not known, but
it is thought that he attempted to
raise the kite by running short dis
tance on the roof and as he ran back
wards went into the shaft.
After the City Hospital ambulance
had gone a neighbor carried the boys
body to the front stoop of his home.
When Mrs. Rosenblatt saw that her
son was dead. she tainted, and for a
time it was thought that she would
have TO be removed to the hospital.
County Physician Mckenzie was noti-
fed. The lad is survived by his par
ents, a brother. who is in the navy,
and an S-year-old sister, Lillian.

WILL URGE COLBY
TO DESERT SPHINX
Progressives Expect Candidacy
Silence to. Be Broken
Tonight.

Efforts will be made at the meet
ing of the Progressive County Com
mittee tonight to have former Sena-
tor Everett Colby make definite an
nouncement Of his gubernatorial in
tentions. Mrs. Colby, as a member
of the committee, will attend the ses-
sion after the Commission Govern
ment League meeting at the Conti-
mental Hotel.
All the last meeting his fellow
members backed Mr. Colby into a
corner and demanded that he say
Just what his intentions were. He
declined to say anything at that
time, but since he has showed a
tendency to yield to 'the call of the
people," as his followers put 1t, and
the members of the county committee
feel that he may be brought to make
an admission tonight.
Irving K. Taylor, chairman of the
committee, is in Massachusetts, and
his place will probably be occupied
by William Fellowes Morgan. The
resolution committee will report on
Osborne's anti-fusion resolution. 1t
is declared that the committee is
ready to turn it down, while it's re-
port on the proposition to amend the
State statute of morals to allow band
concerts, ETC., on Sunday afternoons
is said to be favorable.
Many members of the county com
mittee belong to the new Commission
Government League. and will attend
the meeting tonight at the Cont
mental. 1t will get under way early,
however, so these members may
leave for Progressive headquarters
Colby supporters are of the opinion
that the single tax, the main plank in
Osbornes platform, Is going to do its
supporter more harm than good, espe-
cially in South Jersey, where there
are vast areas of undeveloped land
The theory of the single tax is to ex-
empt all buildings and other improve
ments, limiting the tax to the land it.
self 1t is pointed out that the State
will have to make up the revenue in
some way and as land will be the
only taxable property, the tariff on
that will naturally have to be raised.
Thus, the Colby supporters point
out, owners of undeveloped land will
not be very anxious to see Osborne
in a position to inflict his single tax.
They declare. too that Colby sentI-
ment is developing strong in Middle
sex, Monmouth and counties south of
these and they are confident that he
will have little trouble there.
If Colby is just as optimistic as his
lieutenants and followers are, he does
not express it. He is still holding off
his announcement until he gets as
surance that he is actually wanted as
candidate. but Progressive leaders
here are confident that If he does not
say anything tonight he will break
his sphinxlike attitude before the end
of this week. He will probably COM
municate with committee chairmen
from the larger counties and with
the several larger lights of the party
and on their advices accept or de-
cline the nomination.

Following parade through the
streets of the resort last night, fully
1000 Republicans attended dollar
dinner" given at the Hotel Rudolf, in

being waged throughout the city and
county. Among the speakers We're
former Governor e. G. Stokes, for

enthusiastic in their predictions Of
success for the fall campaign.
State Chairman Wakelee was the
first speaker and did not finish until
