Government Red Tape Brings Trouble

Fort Riley, Kan, June 30.-Consid-
cradle discussion has arisen among
army officers here as to just what the
Kansas troops should be called 1t
was explained that they could not be
designated as the First Infantry, U.
S. A. of Kansas" because of a conflict
with the names of other units. Army
officers say that Second Regiment of
Kansas Militia now in the service of
the United States" is proper.

an officer explained, but it is tech
nically correct"

Beat The Boil Weevil

llC OOll WCCNi 10 llCIC w quay
1t is likely that in few years it
will infest all cotton growing dis
tricts. Under proper farming
methods as much cotton can be
raised with the boil weevi as
have been produced under the
old methods at any time before
the pest came. In large districts
where the boil weevil almost
wiped out cotton 8 to II years
ago has been persistent since, as
much cotton is being raised now
as in the best years before the
weevil came. Everything nece-
ssary to do to secure good yields
under boil weevil infestation is
profitable to do where there is
no boil Weevil.
The strong weevils that live
through the winter and are the
beginning of the hordes that de-
stroy the cotton next summer
|are developed in the squares and
feed on the tender shoots of the
top growth that is made the last
weeks before frost. Destroy all
stalks while they are green and
before frost and the weevils per-
ish. The earlier this is done,
the more weevils will be destroy
ed. One weevil killed in the
fall may result in thousands less
the following summer.
Cut the stalks with a mower
and cure the hay to feed horses,
mules and cattle. The leaves
and finer stems make rich hay,
the stalks will be waste. Cut
the stalks with stalk cutter or
hoe and pillow them under to a
depth of 6 to s inches.
Weevils live through the win
ter under trash in the cotton
fields, ditch banks, fence rows,
turn rows and in the old bark and
rubbish around stumps, clumps
of trees and timber. Clean up
these places.
Save seed of early fruiting va
rieties now before it is ship
ped away. The boil weevil does
not do serious damage until Aug
ust and a variety that fruits
heavily in July will give a profit
table yield in spite of severe boil
weevil infestation.
An early fruiting variety yield
ed this year at the Experiment
Station, Stoneville, Mississippi,
where the weevil was abundant,
2, 200 pounds seed cotton per acre,
while, in the same field, ordinary
late fruiting varieties produced
500 pounds seed cotton an acre.

7EHEARlNG IS DENIED DEPOs- ED SUPERINTENDENT AND lN-
 ClDENT IS CLOSED.

Little Rock, Dec 11.-Dr E. P. B!edsoe. superintendent of the Stat4 Hospital For Nervous Diseases, this morning lost in his fina! effort to prvent his removal by the State Board Of Control The supreme eour. refused to grant the deposed hospital superintendent a reaeariag on his ap- plication for writ of certio7ari to prevent the board from enforcing it's removal action
 Attorneys for Dr. Bledsoe requested members of the hoard to allow Dr. Bedsoe n few days in which to re- move his effects from the hospitA The request was granted. Dr. Bledsoe declined to make a statement of his future plans. Dr. c. Arkebaucr sen for physician at the institution by virtue of his election last summer, automatically became superintendent .of the hospital His election by the board was temporary it being speci- fled that he hold the position until a permanent superintendent was retain ed
 Members of the board said they were not ready to make a statement concerning the election of a new su perintendent but said they would take no action until after Dr. Bled- soc had left the institution.
 The courts action had no direct i bearing on other officials and em. poyes at the hospital who were in volyed in the controversy causing the trouble between Dr. Bledsoe and the 1 board It was expected, however. that Dr. R. r. Darneu assistant superinten-
 dent at the institution, as well a l other employees involved, would re l sign. Dr. Pat Murphy also involved | in the controversy, could not be locat l ed at noon.
 Simultaneously with the announce
 ment by the supreme court that thu petition for a rehea7ing was overrui
