bales, based on the experience of
the counties in Texas, to $50, 900
and 100000 bales on the produce

Ravage's OF The Boil Weeyil.

Washington, D. c., January 16,
1914-The boil weevil has caused
a loss in the production of cotton
in the United States il excess Of
10000, 900 bales which, at a value
of only $50 a bale, represents
financial loss Of S500,000,000. This
is only the loss in areas'actually
planted. The reduction in the pro-
duction of cotton due to the fact
that farmers retained from plant
ing because of the fear that the
weevil would not allow the plant
to mature can never be estimated.
These and other interesting facts
and statistics concerning the boil
weevil are given in a little pocket
pamphlet Just issued by Director
W. j. Harris, of the Census
Bureau, Department of Commerce.
DAMAGE TO CROPS, BY STATES.
Mississippl.-In seven selected
counties of Mississippi the pro-
duction of cotton in 1907 amount
ed to 191, 100, bales, valued at
nearly $11, 100000. The boil
weevif reduced this production to
1851 bales in 1909, to 81, 432
bales in 1910; to 1856 bales in
1911; and to $1,000 bales in 1912.
The aggregate production for the
four years amounted to 219, 1884
bales, valued at approximately
$14,600,OOO. Had the crop of 1907
been produced for each of these
years the aggregate would have
exceeded 10000 bales, valued at
about $48, 100000. Many farmers
in these counties abandoned en-
tirely the attempt to produce cot
ton. The majority of the farm
laborers have been thrown out of
employment and emigrated to
other places.
louisiana Louisiana's largest
cotton crop, 1,089,526 bales, was
grown In 1904. The production
was reduced to 245,648 bales in
1910. This great loss was due
principally to the ravages of the
boil weevil. In 10 of the large
cotton producing parishes the cop
amounted to 256, o18 bales, valued
at SIS, 100000 duling the year i'm
mediately preceding the advent of
the weevil in each of these parish
es. The aggregate production of
these 10 parishes for the following
four years amounted to only 211,-
253 bales, valued at approximate
Iy $13, 100000. Had the produc-

Alabama, Selecting six counties
in the eastern part of the state,
which are in the direct path of the

years has amounted to 1926

ton equaled that of the year pre-,

would have amounted to 1,O24, O72
bales, valued at S65, 100000. The
loss to the cotton growers in these
10 parishes attributed very large
lY to the boil weevil amounted to
more than $50,0OO,00O for the four
years.
Arkansas. During 1905, 1907
and 1908 the boil weevil was dis
persed over an area covering about
one-third of the state of Arkansas.
In four selected counties of.tne
state the crop for 1906 amounted
to 70, 1926 bales. By 1909 the crop
of these counties had been reduced
by the weevil to 26,962 bales, and
in 1910 it was 35.49 bales. The
aggregate value of these two crops
was about 81, 100000 whereas had
each equaled the crop of 1906 the
cotton for these counties would
have brought into them more than
$4,000, 900.
Texas-The boil weevil first ap-
peared in the state of Texas in
1892 and during the next Is years
CAUSED an enormous loss in the
cotton crop of the state. In seven
selected counties in the northeast
section of the state the production
in 1905 amounted to 232, O63 bales.
This was reduced to 114,7 bales
in 1907; to 153,347 bales in 1908
and to 145, 725 bales in 1909. The
aggregate value of the three crops
in these counties amounted to
about 1914, 100000. 1.-THE produc-
ton of 1906 had been maintained,
the value would have been approx
matelv $4o,OOO,O0O.

(Advt., IT.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Radfcal
changes in the methods of applying

entirely wrong.

have been kept away from contact
with the patient as much as possible
have an effect upon the cancer that

TREASURY Department
REPORT OPTIMISTIC
TOUR OF UNIT.
ED STATES HAS BEEN
FINISHED.
Have Mass Of Information Relative
TO Reserve Bank Locations,
But Not Ready to Decide.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Fanancial
optimism. radiated today from a
Treasury Department report of the
recent tour of the United States
made by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston, to organize the nation
into federal reserve districts and
select cities for federal reserve
banks. The committee found bankers
generally of the opinion that the en-
forcement of the new currency law
will relieve them of apprehension
and give confidence and stability to
business. AS to the date of enforce
ment of the new law, the committee
finds that it is unable to sift the
mass of information collected and
that any announcement of district
lgerrymandering on federal reserve
bank locations must await further in
vestigation.
yin every section of the country
the committee has found practical
ly unanimous conviction among bank
ers and business men that the cur
rency bill will bring about most bene-
fetal changes in the business of the
country" says the report. "In fact
the committee heard no bankers
speak who did not say that the
measure was a great step in ad-
vance. The facts and figures pre-
scented to the committee in every part
of the country show amazing growth
and strength of financial, industrial,
commercial and agricultural sound
ness and prosperity that leaves nc
doubt as to the future"
The committee is gratified with
the result of its trip.
