RiCh|and County
Is Successful

On Wednesday afternoon OF
this week the Dawson county
commissioners finished with the
work Of going over the various
petitions for and against the new
proposed Richland county, and
found that it went through with
an assessed valuation of ST, l93, :
900. According to this an cleo
tion will be called about May,
18th to vote on the proposition.
On account Of the badly mixed
uD mess Of the various petitions
it necessitated considerable time
in Strengthening out the matter,
but the county went through
with about a million and a quar-

Those were days thirty years or more
ago when on the praires OF Texas, in

Virginia to Florida hardly anything was
cultivated but cotton-tal and rank
varieties OF the plant, producing few
seeds and a long fibre.
But the development Of the cotton
seed oil industry brought about a
change. the tall plants being replaced
by smaller varieties. which produce
much seed. shorter fibre and fewer
leaves for the caterp.llars to feed on.
incidentally the cotton fields were
broken everywhere by fields OF corn.
AS a result of these changes in cultural
methods the cotton caterpillar has

these clumps they could prevent the ex-
pected outbreak. The Governor of Kan
sas has even issued "A proclamation ad-
dressed to farmers calling their atten-
ton to the danger and urging them to
adopt this precaution. But Will they do
so? 1t is safe TO say that many Of them
will not.
"The cotton boil weevil has spread
steadily year after year and we have
not been able to stop it. But the fact
should not be overlooked that, taking
the country as "A whole, there is as much
cotton grown and marketed as before
the advent of the pest. And why is this
the case? Simply because the farmers
have adopted certain new cultural
methods which were recommended as
IA result Of study of the habits and life
history Of the insect. So deeply have
we gone into the problem that to-day
we know more about the cotton boil

Norman Give Nicholson of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity Performs Experiments Which May
Prove of Value to Medical Science

Young Nicholson uses three methods
of putting his subjects to sleep: simple
passes with his hands downward, a
crystal bali at which the subject gazes
intently and "a "fascnator," IA whirlng
mirror similar to that made familiar to
theatregoers in THE Case of Becky"
His record time for the transition was
mades by the latter method and is 20
seconds.
At the Hopkins faculty demonstration
three subjects were used and they were
controlled by Mesmer's method, simple
passes with the hands. Then the pro-
fessors were asked to satisfy themselves
that the hypnotic state really had been
secured, and this they did by pricking
the subjects with needle on the fingers
where the nail meets the skin and hold
ing a lighted match so close to the face
that the eyelashes were almost singed

increased far beyond the limit of the

neighboring territory had begun to be

Incidentally they gave birth to young.

"Grasshoppers lay their eggs in the

With the progressive extension of agr
