"A REALLY FINE BLUNDERER,

To the men who fail, success seems a matter of luck The critics of the Presidents policy in Mexico are con- founded by the failure of their predic- tions. Each lay they have expected bloodshed, disaster to our forces, or dissensions in the camp of Carranza. They could not believe that moral pressure strong enough could be ex- erted to drive Huerta from Mexico.
 When it was manifest that the dy- nasty of assassination was certain to fall, they predicted that Mexico City would be surrendered, but only after a bloody battle. Then that Gen. Villa in the North would organize another revolution; then that the United States would have to send a great army to Mexico to keep the peace.
 It is grevious disappointment to all these prophets of evil that none of these disasters has come upon these two nations. They console themselves with the declaration that they have been narrowly averted--which may be true-or that there will be trouble in the land before the winter is over which is possible. Indeed, anything is possible in Mexico now, even peace and prosperity under the Wilson doc Urine of moral suasion, backed by a demonstration in force"
 The Review of Reviews is especially disconsolate. It writes about dipo- macy in the most oracular manner, and discusses our foreign relations in a most patronizing way. It says "No one pretends that the seizure of Vera Cruz was premediated policy"
 The seizure of Vera Cruz took place in the execution of premeditated policy of exclusion and peace. Had that step not sufficed, another would have been taken.
 All that We have done and all that we have refrained from doing has been done, or not done, in the execu- tion of policy clearly outlined by the President in public addresses and in official messages and orders, and ad- hered to with persistency of pur- pose like unto that of Washington, like unto that declared by Lincoln in his letter to Horace Greedy, a news paper critic of his day.
 For the Review to speak of it as a really fine blunder discredits the Re- view, but does not in the least dis

CROP REMNANTS
 AND INSECT CONTROL
(By Geo. C. Becker, Entomologist.
 Ark. Experiment Station.)

The advantage which is offered us in the way of preventing insect injury by removing the stalks or crop rem nants as soon as the crop has been gathered offers us probably the great est opportunity and the least exercised opportunity of which we avail our selves in controlling our insect pests.
 From the standpoint of insect con- trol the overwinter insect is the most important generation of any pest, not because the injury of this particular generation is larger or greater than any other but because the overwinter- ing generation is responsible for all the damage of subsequent genera tions. The progency of single pair of boil weevils will, in the course of four generations be over 3,OOO,0OO enough to put one boil wevil on every square foot of a 75 acre cotton field.
 It is the last generation which de- velops in the course of a season which supplies the insects best adapted for spending the winter. These are the in- sects which develop on the crop remnants and not on the crop. Their very existence might have been pre- vented to large extent by removing the crop remnants on which they were able to breed. Under favorable cir cumstances the early removal of crop remnants might reduce the number of overwintering insects to perhaps a small per cent of what they would have been had the remnants been al- lowed to remain. In view of the inn portance of one pair of any insect at the beginning of season the signif- canoe of this will be readily under- stood.
 Early destruction of stalk or crop remnants is the most important single practice in the control of the boil weevil. The same practice can be employed with the pests of any other crop.
 Remove the crop remnants early and prevent the carrying of seed for next years insect troubles.

One of the most interesting rem nants of a prehistoric lake in the United States, according to the United States Geological Survey, is that now
 known as Estancia Valley, which lies south of Santa Fe and east of AL buquerque, New Mexico. From ex- animation of the deposits in this sec ton geologists are of the opinion that this lake existed at the same time as Lake Bonneville, in Utah, and other ancient lakes of the arid West, dur nig the cold, humid glacial period.
 The theory of the existence of an ancient lake in the valley is based on the presence of shore features and lake sediments. Sea cliffs, terraces. beaches, beach ridges, spits, and bars are found on all sides of the lake flat, at attitudes between 6,100 and 6.2OO feet above the sea level.
 During recent years insufficient rainfall has caused crop failures and has created an urgent demand for an investigation of the feasibility of ir- rlgating with ground water. In res ponse to this demand the valley was examined by Oscar E Meinzer of the United States Geological Survey, and a report on the subject has been is- sued by the Survey as Water-Supply Paper 275.

DOROTHY GISH TAMES
 A HUGE WOLFHOUND
Mutual Star Makes Animal Behave.

Dorothy Gish, the attractive Majes- tic-Mutual star, proved her persuasive powers over animals when during the production of "A Lesson in Mechan- ics" she came to the rescue of Direc- tor w. C. Cabanne and succeeded in making friends with big wolfhound that was defying the entire company to take a scene.
 Cabanne had hired launch at San Pedro harbor, and the launch owners assistant was preparing to take the entire party out on the bay. The own CT had left his big wolfhound aboard the boat, and when Cabanne attempted to get aboard with his company the big animal stood guard and refused to permit them to approach. No other launch was available. A messenger was hastily dispatched to locate the launch owner, but he could not be found.
 After wasting about two hours Dor othy Gish came to the rescue and, walking up fearlessly to the big dog, soon was batting the animals head. The attractive Majestic star and the big dog quickly were the best of friends.
 When Miss Gish approached Cab anne and the other members of the company and led them aboard the

While many Alaskans have worked ceaselessly for her inter ests for a dozen wears or more, the man who has done most to present her claims 10 the powers that be is her delegate 70 congress, James W'ckersham. True, owing to his office, ke has had better and more opportunity to preach" Alaska than have his Conferers, but he has i'm proved his opportunities with the result that he has preached and pounded away on Alaska, until, one bv one, statesmen and congressman began to listen, become interested and investigated and the result was the passage of the Liu apprOpriat- ing thirty-five millions Of dollars for the purpose of building railroads in the district. The appropriation may seem a big one, but it is mere pittauce compared with land grants made to some of the trans continental roads in beth the states and Canada. But 'he area, the country served is almost equal to that benefited by~the latter.
 The address of Delegate Wick ersham on the Alaska railroad bill in Washington on the 14th of January showed such masterly- pre- paralion, such thorough knowledge O. the subject, such clear and con- else elucIdation as is seldom the privilege of legislative bodies to enjoy. Jim had the goods and he delivered them. "

JIM WICKERSHANI.

After years of ceaseless and strenuous labor, during the contin- uance of which he must have at times almost despaired4 of ultim- lte success, the Hon. James Wick ersham, delegate to congress from the territory of Alaska, has lived to see his efforts for the recognl- ton of the importance of the land of his adoption commence to bear fruit, with a promise of surpasSing in future extent the most optim- istic and visionary of his dreams.
 His long fight against almost overwhelming odds, in the earlier stages of which he stood practic- ally alone, has compelled the ad- miration and respect ot many of those who were most bitterly oppos- ed to the measures for which he stood. This feeling is not confin- ed to Alaska alone, but finds eX- pression through the columns of the press across the line, in Can addian territory, as witness the following from the WhitehOrse Star of yesterday:
 Tt has taken the , district of Al aska a long time to even make a start toward coming into her own but she is headed in that direction at last, the passage of the railroad bill being the first act in opening the way for her future growth and development and prosperity.
