WEEVIL INVADES
TERRELL FIELDS
The Cotton Pest Is Doing Much Dam
age to Crop Below Doverel, and
Will Curtail Yield.

1t is reported from reliable sources
that the boil weevil in large numbers
has invaded the cotton fields near
Doverel, in the lower section of Ter
rell county, and is doing much dam
age to the crop.
1t is also said that the boil weevil
is doing some damage to cotton in
the northwestern section of the coun-
ty in the Bridges neighborhood.
Farmers say the weevil will consid-
erably cut the yield of cotton in these
sections this year.
The early appearance of the pest in
this county should warn farmers to go
slow and not risk too large an acre
age in cotton another year. A large
acreage may mean bankruptcy to
many farmers, and they should wage
a fight against the weevil with a small
acreage and plenty of hog and hom-
my and other feedstuffs.

Some time ago II was decided that the
ration of this type, adopted for the serv-
ice, was not suitable because of the
chocolate component and, although this
particular ration was not intended for
general use, but only as a substitute
IUr nothing at all in the way OF food in
the field, the reports contained such
alarming statements that the War De-
partment- decided 10 abandon the ration
and seek an improved article.
Several samples have been prepared
and now ii has been decided to make
practical trial of one which is in the
form of a cracker and composed OF
flour and lean beef in equal quantities,
with one-half as much dried milk. II
was at one time intended to include
ratsins and beans with flour and the lean
beef, but these ingredients have been laid
aside in favor OF dried milk.
The nutritive qualities of the new ra-
ton have been fully tested by the experts
and pronounced satisfactory. 1t now
remains to test the keeping qualities of
the ration, which may only be deter
mined. of course, by long periods of
storage under various conditions OF cli-
mate or temperature. 1t is believed that
the cracker manufacturers of this coun-
try will be able to produce this emer-
Gency ration on a numerical basis, there
being demand for it among sportsmen
and travellers. II il necessary to have
it available in large quantities in the
market to avoid the necessity OF pur-
chasing ii by special manufacture for the
purpose OF maintaining a reserve stock
The availability OF the old ration was
one of its advantages.

False Economy IN Government.

BY methods more cunning than commendable
Representative w. p Borland, of Missouri, has
taken upon himself the taskmasters duty of
worming through Congress a law designed to
squeeze from the government clerks Of Washing
ton an extra hour OF service each day. 1t is not
likely that he will succeed in his attempt, and it
wh make him little more unpopular in Washing
ton; but what is much more important, it will win
him plaudits in Kansas City Mr. Borland pro-
fesses to believe that the legislation he advocates
would save the government 100000 a year, and
no one will trouble to inquire where he gets the
figures. Presumably he looks forward to the dis
charge of some 1000 employees of the executive
departments the result of his endeavors, but of
course that doesn't matter, since the days of spols
are over and Missouri would not suffer. Quite
likely saving at all would be effected by forcing
an extra hours work from the clerks since the
government departments not operated under
the rules in force in shirt factory, for instance.
One result to be expected il the Borland proposal
prevails is the lowering of the standard Of the civil
service because under present conditions of low
pay and provision for the retirement of the
aged and incapactated, almost the only induce
ment the service offers is in the matter of hours,
which give young men and women the opportunity,
least for study to fit themselves for something bet
tier
Mr.. Bofland knows, of course, that while a
score OF years ago government clerks were very
we'll paid, today their remuneration is below that
offered by private employers. In every sphere of
industry in this country salaries and wages have
been advanced to meet the rapid increase in the
cost of living, while government salaries have re-
manned stationary. Most of the great corporations
have established pension systems, to provide for
employees in their old age. The government on the
other hand continues to throw them upon the
mercies Of the world when they are worn out un-
less they bring sufficient influence to bear,
and then they kept the pay rolls while
others do the work-a most reprehensiblc and cx-
ltravagant system.
If Mr.. Borland had really desired to do use
full work he would have undertaken to place the
civil service upon business basis, by readjusting
salaries and providing retirement system, so that
no draws salary without rendering service In
this direction he could easily have discovered the
way to make the civil service more efficient and
the clerks more eontented, and at the same time
he might even have effected substantial saving
But it is doubtful whether in such an undertaking
there would be any appeal to the voters of Kansas
City
The Washington herald., 1916-02-25
Senators in Strange Position.

subcommittee OF the Senate Committee on
the District of Columbia has reported adversely
on the nomination of Gen. Smith for chairman of
the Excise Board. The vote was three to two
against Gen. Smith and the majority was composed
OF avowed prohibtionists who-reprcsent prohibi-
ton States. They are opposed to the regulation
of the liquor traffic in Washington and favor alb
soute prohibition. Their position on the general
question may or may not have influenced them to
vote against Gen. Smith But it is a peculiar de-
velopment in the Senate when the vote on con-
irmaton OF appointment by the President di-
vides political lines for prohibition is now ad-
mittedly a political question 1t reflects on the
judicial temperament of the Senator's Cen Smiths
fitness for the office is lost sight of in such con-
test He was reappointcd to office which clothes
him with power to regulate the liquor traffic and
he is condemned by Senators who do not believe
that this traffic should be regulated but prohibited
If other nominations of the President were
treated in this way, there would be continual
drawing OF party lines, and no Republican Senator
would vote for the confirmation of any Democrat
and Democratic Senator would vote for the
confirmation Of any Republican There has never
been such division in the Senate on such nominal
tons.
II all the Senators should divide on prohibition
lines over the nomination of Gen. Smith, as have
those who compose the subcommittee he would be
confirmed, because less than one-half the Senator's
represent prohibition constituencies In such a
division the fitness of Cen Smith for the work OF
executing the law for the regulation of the liquor
traffic in the District of Columbia would not he
considered, it appears not to have been in the
subcommittee. The law and not the man to -execute
it becomes the issue.
1t is as manifestly impossible for conscientious
prohbitonist to execute excise law as it is for
Ia conscientious pacihst to conduct military CAM
paign. While we have an excise law, the man an
pointed to execute that law should be man who
would eenscientiously try to have the law oh.
served, not one who would try to make il fail
ure.
When the Senators who are the authors of the
present excise law, try to make that law failure
and an excuse for supplanting it with prohibition
law, and object to the man who executes the law
because he tries to enforce it in letter and shirt
they cast suspicion their own legislative progeny
The nomination OF Gen. Smith ought to be treated
on its merits and not an issue between the
present law and some other proposed legislation
