AMER|CUs MAN
TRAVELS TEXAS
WEEv|L REGIONS
TELLS HOW PEOPLE KEEP THE
PLAGUE DOWN.

Mr.. Richard E. Allison, president Of
the Allison Furniture Co. here, has
probably seen as much of boil weevii
devastation as anyone here and knows
something of the habits of that enemy
of the cotton farmer. Mr.. Allison
travels extensively in Texas, where tie
boil weevil has been exceedingly buoy
during fifteen years and is still ac-
lively on the job in chewing up cotton
fields, though not as numerous now as
in former years, he says.
Texas farmers are still raising COT
ton," Mr.. Allison said today, "but the
boil weevil has made them produce
more food crops and, consequently,
they are not really so bad off. They
live at home and have pelnty of ev-
erything."
"Out in Texas, Mr.. Allison said,
farmers burn cotton stalks or turn
them underground just as soon as the
crop is gathered. In that way they
keep the pests reduced in number.
Then too, they plant cotton of early
maturing variety and have the crop
picked before the weevil wakes up and
calls for his fodder.
One cotton producing county, which
previously had raised little else than
cotton, began diversifying crops, and
the next year raised and shipped two
hundred carloads potatoes, for which
good prices were received. Besides
potatoes, the farmers raised more
wheat and corn and oats than the
county had ever produced before. They
continued to plant cotton, Mr.. Allison
said, and at profit, but they raised
abundant food supplies as we'll.
The weevil has been in Texas fif-
teen years, MIR. Alloison states, but the
farmers there fight it systematically
in the manner above stated, and are
getting along quite as well as before

With the Fighting French.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE capture of
the village hill of Tahure, by the
French, is of considerable local I'M
portance. The hill is less than 200
feet high, and was one of the most
important of the Geman positions in
that sector.
The French official statement says
that the Germans violently bombarded
Lascarre last night. They delivered
ffur counter attacks against the new
French positions near Souchez and
north of Tahure, which were all re-
pulsed. The Germ, losses were
heavy.

Greece's Move Obscure

LODON, Oct. 7.-Greece is forming
a coalition cabinet. Pending this her
policy is obscure. There is no misgiv-
ing here, however, that she will CO
operate in any way with Bulgaria.
The cabinet crisis did not impede the
Banding of French troops at Saloniki.
The fact that these forces are on
Greek soil is considered the best guar
artee that Greece will ultimately join
the Allies, with whom the premier
elect Zaimis is in sympathy.
