YAzOO PLANTER MAY
HAVE WEEV|L CURE
UNITED STATES Department OF
AGRICULTURE WILL SEND
MAN TO INVESTIGATE.

Jackson, Miss, July II. - If his
claims prove true, w. T. Clarke, a
prominent Yazoo county planter, has
succeeded in doing what the federal
government has vainly spent millions
of dollars in trying to do.
Briefly stated, Mr.. Clark believes
that he has discovered parasite that
will destroy the dreaded Mexican boil
weevil, and DR.. w. o. Hunter chief en-
tomogogist of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has been request
ed to visit the Clark plantation and
make a personal investigation.
Notice of Mr.. Clark's discovery was
sent to the department at Washington
several days ago, and R. S. Wilson,
state agent, who is in charge of the co
operative and demonstration farm
work in Mississippi, will go to Yazoo
City on Monday to make personal in
vestigation.
Until the federal experts pass judg
ment on his discovery, Mr.. Clark de
clines to furnish any details, except to
say that he has been engaged in re
search work for several years, and Is
confident he has found a parasite that
will destroy the boil weevil. The eX
periments thus far made on his own
plantation, which is one of the largest
in Yazoo county, shows the destruc
ton of twenty per cent of the weevil'
in infected fields, and he has beel

breeding the parasites very carefully,
limiting their development until he can
obtain the judgment of agricultural
experts on their effectiveness.
The parasite, says Mr.. Clark, de-
stroys the boil weevil in its formative
state, before the insect has an oppor-
tunity to reach maturity. He has been
conducting his experiments in thor
oughly scientific manner, and has made
complete record Of results to present
to the federal authorities.
1t is expected that DR.. Hunter will
make trip to Mississippi within the
next few days, and take corps of his
special agents with him to the Clark
plantation.
A few days ago, it will be recalled
Dr.. Hunter imported Gautemalan ants,
believing that they would prove an eff.
fective agency in destroying the boil
weevil, but the experiments were fruit.

about $500 day, or nearly S150,O00
year. This return would equal just
100 per cent on the investment. With
capacity of 100 cords a day, the
plant would yield an even better per-
centage, as the average cost of operat-
ing expense decreases as the size of
the plant increases.
South Mississippi will derive its
greatest benefit, however, not from
the stockholders profits, but from the
advantage that will accrue to the land
owners, who will be enabled not only
to clear their lands for nothing but to
make a profit on the stumps, which
have heretofore been the greatest OBJ
stacles in the pathway of South Mis-
sissippi's progress
Mr.. Jackson has made careful inves-
legations into the question of stump
ing lands. He estimates that the
landowner can remove the stumps
from his land by the old methods and
come out even, but that by expanding
about 81, 900 for improved stump-pull-
ing machinery, he can make profit
of from SO to $40 an acre from the
stumps.
81 no longer have any doubt that
the plant is a success" said Mr.. Jack
son today, land l have delayed max
ing this public announcement until we
have had ample time to test it. l be-
lieve it will be the greatest benefit to
the community of any industry that
has been started in recent years, for
it will create cash value on products
that have heretofore been considered
worthless.

DIPPING DIVIDES
FAMILIES IN Jones
COSTS COUNTY Sis A MONTH TO
ENFORCE TICK LAW, SAYS
PROF. w. r. BOND.

The enforcement of the cattle-dip-
ping law in Jones county costs the tax
payers of that county $500 a month,
with neighborly resentment and ill
feeling that almost reaches a state of
feudism thrown in for good measure.
w. F. Bond, professor of history in
the Normal College, has just returned
from trip. to Jones county, where he
mas been working in the interest of the
consolidation OF schools
Mr.. Bond said. 81 found that in near
1y every instance where man objected
to the dipping of his cattle, he stoutly
resisted the consolidation of schools
also. There is a great need of an I'M
derstanding of both questions all over
that county.
''The whole county is a beehive OF
enmity. Next-door neighbors. who
have been friends for years, will not
speak to each other because one is for
.cattle-dipping and the other against.
Threats of killing are frequently made.

In River Forest it was found that
the cost per week for oil to each indi-

Tobacco Detection Effective.
For use on marshes and pools which

Health as follows:
"One hundred and fifty gallons of
crude carbolic acid is heated in an iron

RESUME OF BEST METHODS Of
FERED TO FIGHT THE PEST
CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

directed by w. A. Evans, M. d.
"The Chicago Tribune" gives herewith
the more generally accepted methods
of dealing with the mosquito nuisance.
The authorities for the information
are: William B. Herms, M. A, officer
in charge Of the malaria Investigations
of the California state board of health,
Alvah H. Doty, formerly health officer
of the port of New York, and Graham
f. Henson, M. D., expert in malaria
etiology, pathology, prophylaxis, and
treatment.
Among the questions which have
been asked since The Chicago Tri-
bune's comfort campaign against
mosquitoes began have been:
What kind of oil should be used and
how is it applied to low, marshy land
where the water is not in open pools,
Can the oil be used effectively in
an ordinary sprayer?
On open water how is the oil applied
and in what quantity?
Is kerosene effective in the oiling
process?
What can be done to marshy land
which cannot be drained?
Expense important Factor.
The expense is a matter largely to
be considered in the oiling process.
Kerosene is effective and can be used
about the house on small tanks of
water, but the cost is prohibitive for
use on large bodies of water. Further
more, kerosene evaporates too quickly.
The oil to be used is one which will
spread most rapidly on the surface of
the water, which will not break up in
patches, and which does not easily
evaporate. Crude oil breaks up in
patches and cannot be used in the or
binary spray pump. And the spray
is the most economical contrivance
although the water can be oiled with
a can or receptacle of any kind.
Since kerosene spreads most salts
factorily, a combination of kerosene
and crude oil is advocated by Herms
The oil filament need not be thick
hence the spray is generally used
Kerosene bought at the grade AZ de
grees Beaume, and crude oil at the
grade Is degrees Beaume, mixed to the
proportion of ten gallons Of kerosene
to twelve of crude oil, is advocated
For summer use a heavier oil al
about &c degrees is preferable.
Several knapsack Sprays.
The knapsack spray of about fiv,
gallons capacity, of which there ar,
several excellent kinds on the market
has a container with a bulb and no2
zle through which the oil is forced b,
a compressed air attachment. TIL
spray covers a comparatively larg
area, thus enabling the filament Il
spread rapidly. In open bodies o
water the field agent, equipped witt
the sprayer, wades about in boots t.
spread the oil rapidly.
The cost of the right oil is between
$3.50 and "a barrel. 1t Is necessar
to spread the filament of oil over tn

ANNOUNCEMENT COMES
: AT END OF CONFERENCE
WITH GOVERNOR WALSH

Boston, June pa bill to separate
the Boston & Maine from the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road will be unanimously reported to
the Legislature before the end of the
week by the committee on railroads,
it was announced at the close of a
two-hours conference between Gov.
Walsh and the committee late today.
Under the terms of the proposed
measure, the state would retain the
right to buy at any time the 81 per
cent. of the Boston & Maine stock
now held by the Boston Holding Co.
for the New Haven. This stock, should
the bill become a law, must be sold
in the open market.

Action by the committee was hasten
ed by word from Washington today
that President Wilson and Attorney
General McReynolds were agreed that
the dissolution suit against the New
Haven would go forward unless the
state gave the holding company au-
thority to sell it's Boston & Maine
stock The railroad company last week
reported a resolve to have the rail-
road separation matter go over until
next January, pending an investigation
by a recess committee.
While the committee was unanimous
in agreeing to meet the wishes of the
Governor and the Federal authorities,
some of the members announced that
they would reserve the right to offer
amendments which, they said, were
intended to perfect the bill and would
not alter its main purpose.
The bill follows the lines recon-
mended by Gov. Walsh in his inaug-
ural speech. The New Haven, al

taken towards settling the disposition

by which the state could, at any time,

Washington, June 22.-The Inter

tanned as valid today by the supreme
court which held, at the same time
that the long and short haul clause of
the interstate commerce law was con-
stitutional Both had been attacked by

The defunct commerce court, pass
ing over the Constitutional question
had annulled the orders on the ground
that the commission had no authority
10 issue blanket" or zone" orders and
might act only on the reasonableness
of specific rates. In overturning that
contention. today, and holding that
the commission did have such power,
the supreme court decided a point
which lawyers and close observers of
the Interstate Commerce Commission S
procedure say is of equal importance
to the intermountain rate case itself
of not greater.

plain, however that the rights of the

Five Per Cent. Increase

Opposition to the 5 per cent. increase
in freight rates being asked by the
Eastern rallroads-and upon which
the Interstate Commerce Commission
is expected to announce its decision at
any day-had been based principally
upon the contention that the commits
sion did not have authority under the
law to grant such blanket" in
crease. Copies of the courts decision
today were sent Immediately to the
commission for it's guidance.
What the effect-if any-of the de-
cision upon the rate case may be, can
be the subject only of conjecture.
There are those among the we'll in
formed in the commissions procedure,
however, who say the decision in the
disposition of the railroads applica-
ton has been delayed awaiting the
supreme courts decision on that i'm
portant point
As to the intermountain rate orders
themselves, however, the effect is that
such Western cities as Renol, Spokane
and Phoenix will not be expected to
pay upon their freight from the East
the regular rate through to the Pacific
coast and then also another rate
from the Pacific back to their stations,
because the railroads are competing
with water-b borne traffic around Cape
Horn or through the Panama canal.
They will, however. pay certain in
ereases over the normal rates from
certain zones.
