nter normal con ditions the poll weevil advances into new aU ie eate of about 50 miles each year, but during a period i only two weeks during the present season there was an algance oI about 100 miles. This movement carried the insect into Georgia for the first time, and 11 oodnties ip that state became oc Several counties in fI1r.,,,, lave been infested for sef#-eai years. but additional ones became infested by the mo.eHent.

 arre were several conditions according to the eutOmologigts ot the United States Department of Agriculture, which contribu: ted to this unusual dispersion. One ot them was the drought iD A toama and mississippi, which c.used the plants to cease fruit and deprived the weevils of tha squares upon which they feed, The more important condition. however, was a series of very high winds which began on Aug 18th and blew continu- ousl for several days toward the northeast. The weeils were thus carried much farther than they would have gone by natura flight or even by the aid of ordinary winds.

The lesson to be drawn from 5Hg fact is that the planters in the eartern part oJ the cotton belt must make streneous fight, and should realize that since the boil weevil has not died out either in Texas CT mexicoit is not at all likely to do in other regions that may become invaded. They should adjust their systems o1 farming to boil 3eevil conditions without delay.

MUCH RUBBISH PILED UP
As People Take Advantage of 0ppor-
tunity to Get 1t Carted Off Free

Yesterdays favorable results in the
cleanup campaign promise to be
matched this evening by the achieve
ments of to-day. In every quarter of
the city, campaigners in the movement
are entering heartily into the spirit of
the work, and members of the committee
who toured every ward to-day were
agreeably surprised to see the amount of
refuse and waste that has been assem-
bled in barrels, boxes and bags and placed
on the curbing to await the removal
teams. Scarcely an avenue, alley, street
or cross-cut in Barre is without at least
three or four bags or barrels of rubbish.
Although the response has been almost
spontaneous, much remains TO be ac-
complshed, and people who have sat idly
by while their neighbors put the cleanup
precepts into practice are urged to join
the ranks of those who are eliminating
all waste and unsanitsry accumulations
from their premises.
The health committee is ready TO act
on any reports made by persons cogni-
zant OF spots that have not been cleaned
up, and the suggestion has been made
that a photographer be employed to make
the rounds of the city tomorrow and
take pictures OF lots. back yards, etc,
that haven't been slicked up. II is pro-
posed further to label these pictures
with the name of the owner of the prem
scs and display them in a conspicuous
place. On the other hand, il is conf. !
lently expected that the committee will
not have recourse TO such action. The |
service is now quite thoroughly !
organized. and teams will be ready for |
he collection tours Thursday.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph. the
ollowing commandments for cleanup \
reek have been CLEANED,
Thou shalt honor thy ncighborhood and
leep il clean.
Remember thy eleaning-day and keep
{ wholly.
Thou shalt take care Of thy rubbish
leap; else thy neighbor will bear wit
less against thee.
Thou shalt keep in order thy alley.
by back yard, thy hall and thy stair
,ay.
Thou shalt not let the wicked hy
reed.
Thou shalt not Kill thy neighbor by
gnoring fire menaces. nor by poisoning
he AIR with rubbish and garbage.
