ADVICE ON FIGHTING
 THE BOIL WEEVIL
Picking Up and Destroying the First Punctured Squares is Most Important Say Agricul- tural Experts.

W. C. Lasseter, assistant director of the Agricultural Extension Depart 'ment of the University of Arkansas, says that reports from all parts of central and southern Arkansas snow that the boil weevil is at work in many cotton fields.
 This early appearance of the wee vii threatens almost total destruction of the August crop and partial des- truction of the July crop" says Mr.. Lasseter Right now and during the next four weeks is the most critical part of the fight on the boil weevil "
 Weevils Multiply Rapidly.
 Pref. G. c. Becker, entomologist for the university experiment station, says that an infestation of 10000 boil weevils per acre will kill all squares that can be put on the cotton plants even in the heaviest .fruiting season which usually is in August.
 "One pair of weevils coming out early in the spring may, by the time of frost, have 25O,OOO living descend ants says Professor Becker. For each pair of weevils in the field now, we may expect thousands of descend- ants by the middle of August or enough infestation to kill all squares formed on several acres of cotton. If we are to avoid heavy infestation dur ing August, we must destroy, as far as possible, all weevils as fast as they appear now.
 Where weevils already have ap- peared, there will be little chance for an August crop of cotton unless rapid multiplication of the weevil is pre- vented. The only way to prevent this rapid multiplication is to destroy the squares which contain the young.
 When the weevil punctures the square, it deposits its eggs, which hatch and in a few days the young weevil appears. After a square has been punctured, it soon turns yellow, flares open and in a few days falls off. It Is easy to pick out these fared squares on the plant or from the ground after they have fallen. If the tlared squares are picked up and des- troyed once a week, the spread of the weevil can be kept under control.
 After the weevils appear in the field in large numbers, it is too late to accomplish much in this way. The time for effective work is when the weevil first appears. Usually it first appears in isolated spots over which it is easy to pick the squares. This will prevent the spread of the weevil to other portions of the field.
 Continued Cultivation Necessary.
 Where there is danger of boil weevil infestation, the cotton must be managed so as to make it fruit very rapidly in order to produce as heavy a crop as possible before the weevils become numerous enough to destroy the squares. Consequently continued and rapid cultivation is very neces- sary at this time This cultivation
The Prescott daily news., 1916-07-10

should be maintained until the crop is practically matured.
 "Tc sum up: Keep up cultivation and hasten the fruiting as rapidly as possible. Above all, pick up and Ges- troy the first squares that are pune tured. The weevil is serious men ace and immediate and drastic action must be taken if the cotton is to be saved. Cotton can be grown in spite of the boil weevil, but hard work is necessary"

COMMISSION DEADLOCKED

The commission dealing with the Mexican situation
has bumped up against stump in its negotiations The
Mexican commissioners acting under instructions from
Carranza have changed their tactics and now demand
the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico as con-
diton precedent to further negotiations The American
commissioners faty refused to consider this unless it
could be shown that Carranza had troops ready to patrol
the border and power to maintain order On the Mex
can side no promises made and the Americans were
piyen to understand that none would be made. This
means that deadlock has been reached and unless the
Mexicans withdraw their demands or make the showing
required as to Carranzas ability to control and protect
the border there is an end to all negotiations
The recent events in Northern Mexico, the overrun-
ming of Chihuahua the whipping of general Trevino by
Villa with less than half large force the capture OF
Caranza garrisons the deseon OF Calranzas soldiers
at every opportunity and the whole situation generally is
such that the Mexican demand cannot be complied WITH
with safety to the border AS matter of fact is more
than possible that if the troops withdrawn Villa will
pet in and whip Carranza to finish and again get all
northern Mexico in turmoil. Carranza's own safety
depends on his either getting strong enough to conquer
villa and drive him from the country to have Pershng
and his army remain Mexican territory In the mean
while the Mexican Ambassador Arredondo, has made
hurried trip to his country presumably to consult his
chief over the situation 1t may be possible ne can IN
duce Carranza change his plans but if not the whole
Mexican situation may be up in the air again

NEEDS OF THE STATE FAIR

This year the need was clearly shown than ever
before of large auditorium stadium at the state fair
grounds. Such building with seats for not less than
10000 with dirt floor, and bandstand in the CENTER
would make an ideal place for the horse show which
promises to become popular annual event. band con-
certs and other large gatherings during the fair.
The music hall at the pavilion will only hold 700
or 300 hundred persons and absurd to give band
certs in such place when there 10000 people in the
grounds expecting to be entertained by the advertised
program The horse show promoters did the best they
could this year with circus tent that would hold three
four thousand but found themselves swamped by the
crowds.
The growing attendance at the state fair with crowds
of 10000 or 10000 becoming common there must be
better facilities for taking of them and providing
entertainment and conveniences The people these
things because it is their fair and they desire the
rangments to be such that they will enjoy to the fullest
extent Grand stands beachers and livestock quarters
alike have all been outgrown
The fair board ought to formulate comprehensive
plan for state fair Improvement in keeping with the
growth of the institution and go before the legislature
with it at the next session We do not believe there
would be any opposition from any reasonable
appropriation for the facilities which really needed
to make the state fair bigger and better in keeping with
its patronage.

Word comes of terrific battle being fought between

miles southwest of Chihuahua. Details OF the hght are
meager and come from the CaTanza commander VINO

captured among these Baudeio Urbe Villas lieutenant
and the gentleman who originated the pleasing pastme OF
cutting off the ears Of captured government soldiers IL
is also stated that Carranza troops are being sent from

1t claimed the soldiers from the southern part OF the
country are not in sympathy with the bandit and can be
depended to fight him rather than desert TO ms pan
ner If this true there is some hope of the Mexicans
being able to patrol the border in the near future and per-
nit the withdrawal of the Americans for when Carranza
can show he make the border safe there Will be no
hestancy about withdrawing the Pershing forces
However, it is hardly worthwhile speculating as to
results until the other side is heard FROM So many OF
those Mexican victories are like that of the man who
