"WEEV|L PICKING"
IN THE DELTA
OF AGRICULTURE
TELLS OF BENEFITS DE-
RIVED FROM 1T.

Washington, July 10.-Both "weevII
| picking" and square picking have
been found helpful in lessening the
damage from the boil weevil in the
Mississippi delta. Because of the la
Dor involved in these operations. how
ever, specialists of the United State
Department of Agriculture do not rec
ommend them except where picking
can be performed by tenants without
any direct cash outlay and without in
terfering with the other plantation
work.
"Weevil picking and square pick
ing" are based upon the fact that the
numbers of the boil weevil are lowest
in the spring, for comparatively few
of the insects survive the winter BY
picking the weevil from the plants
then or by collecting the fallen forms
which contain weevil of the first gen-
GRAFTON in their immature stages, -cry
much can be done to prevent the NAL
duplication of the pest later in the sca-
son. The practical effect of these
methods has recently been tested by
investigators of the Department Of
Agriculture and the results published
in department bulletin No. 3S2. In
this bulletin, the author, B. r. Coad,
states that an increased yield Of 90
per cent was obtained by making five
square pickings" at intervals Of seven
days. Somewhat similar results were
obtained by "weevil picking" with the
apparatus.
Despite this very definite advantage,
however, conditions in the delta are
such that these methods may Irove
far from profitable. In May and June,
the time when picking should be done,
there is almost always more or less
shortage of labor. Under these CIR
both square picking" and
'weevil picking" may compel the
planter to slight other operations and
he loss caused in this way may more
han offset any benefit from the pick |
ng. 1t seems generally inadvisable, |
says the bulletin, to practice these !,
control measures except in the pres |
,nce of an abundance of labor. In |
.ase it is necessary to choose between !,
! cultivation and picking, it adds, cul-
ivate !.
When '.weevil picking" is resorted I
o, much better results are obtained !,
rom the bag-and-hoop method than !.
rom hand picking. Furthermore, if /
he plant is shaken across the sack i
instead of lengthwise, many more
veevil are collected. Several pick i

SMITH DEF|ES |. c. C.;
LUKE LEA ATTACKED
SAYS L. & MS POLITICS DO NOT
CONCERN COMMERCE
COMMISSION.

Washington, July 1..-MiltOn II.
Smith, president of the Louisville e.
Nashville Railroad, today charged the
Interstate Commerce Commissions in.
vestigation into the roads affairs was
the result of personal animus of Sem
tor Lea, of Tennessee, and denied the
power of the commission to investigate
political activities of railroads.
The charges and challenge were con
sion's petition requesting the District
of Columbia Supreme Court to compel
him to testify regarding alleged cam
paign contributions in Southern states.
The commissions petition followed
Mr.. Smiths refusal several months
ago to answer questions as to the
roads political relations. A hearing
will be had on August II.
Mr.. Smith asserted that the powers
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion was purely ministerial, and that
it had no authority to investigate po-
litical questions or whether roads have
engaged in attempts to create senti-
ment in favor of their plans.
Neither has the commission the
power to investigate questions as to
whether or not a particular common
carrier has attempted to prevent an
other from entering the territory in
which the first carrier operates" the
document declares.
The answer says that when the Sen
ate resolution under which Mr.. Smith
was questioned was introduced there
were only Ia members of the Senate
in their seats.
Senator Lea" it continues, was
engaged in an attack on the railroad
due to the fact that the railroad and
its officials had declined to do for him
what he had requested"

iings early in the season with a short
interval between each have proved
more efficient than the same number
of pickings extended over a long pc
riod. If the labor conditions are such
that all the cotton cannot be treated
in this way at short intervals, it is
better, says the bulletin, to concen-
trate the labor on a portion of the
crop and to allow the remainder to so
untreated. This, however, is not Ce
sirable in seasons of heavy weevil in
festation because at such times the
weevil having exhausted the 'upHly
of food on the untreated cotton vii,
migrate into the picked cotton. We,
vii picking" with the bag and hoop is,
on the whole, more profitable II an

Gas Works in Japan.

For a nation accustomed to lamps
and candles for centuries, the fact that
nearly 100000 people in Japan now
use gas for lighting purposes, is
worthy Of notice. Despite the charges
for gas, higher than in Europe or
America, the per capita consumption
continues on the increase. In time a
more developed condition of the in
dustry will permit of a lower rate
through the production and sale of
dyes, coal tar and other b%y-products.
Superstition and ignorance were the
causes of numerous accidents at first,
but the results have not been SO uni
formly fatal as In many foreign coun-
tries. This is principally due to the
fact that the rooms of Japanese houses
are not so nearly alright as the
houses of this country. The amount of
capital now invested in gas works in
Japan amounts to about $26, 900, 900,
with about $50 miles of piping. The
concerns engaged in the enterprise
have on the whole done well from the
standpoint of profit, the dividend
yields being about 10 per cent annu-
ally. The hydroelectric industry in ia
pan, however, is developing fast, which

Culture.

Culture is not a useless thing for
ornament. Culture is service, growth.
Culture Of the field means the highest
development of life. Without culture
of this kind there can be no success
full agriculture. The lack of culture
means idleness and waste of the field
as well as Of the human intellect.
Plant food in the soil becomes avail
able, assimilable, only by culture. BAG
terial life in the soil becomes most
active and productive under culture.
Culture, properly guided, is vision
realized. Nowhere is there a higher
or more useful culture than in the de-
velopment Of plant and animal life.
A trained mind is a cultured mind. A
highly productive field is cultured
field. The farm is natures culture
garden. There is culture in agricul-
ture, and agriculture is culture In a
highly intensified form.-Breeder's Ga
zette.
