DISCOVER WAY TO KILL
BOIL WEEVIL, PARASITE
Federal Experts Hope to Be Able to
Rid South of Cotton Pest.

After twelve years of patient. sclen-
ttnc investigation, the Department of
Agriculture believes II has at last dis
covered a method Of destroying The
boil weevil, the parasite which the
Department only recently reported has
caused this seasons cotton crop to be
practically a failure
The Department Is keeping the new
method secret pending Anal absolute
proof Of its efficiency. For two years
past the method has worked with
phenomenal success, according to De-
partment officials. and one year more
Of experimentation Is desired before
the method is to be given the public
with the assurance that it will destroy
the curse of the Southern planter.
The discovery, II 1t comes up to ex-
pectation. will be in the nick of time,
for Department cotton experts admit
that nothing short Of a hard winter
will prevent the boil weevil pest from
becoming more destructive OF cotton
next season than this.
II we have a hard early frost as
far South as the Gulf coast, great
numbers Of the parasites will be de-
stroyed," said one expert yesterday.
SBut II the winter be mild the weevu
will multiply prodigiously and prove a
greater burden next season than II has
been this year"

RED CROSS WORK HALTED.

The British government has blocked
temporarily the plan Of the American Red
Cross to establish units in Austrta-Hun-
gary. and through its Embassy here has
asked the State Department to delay such
plans until the full scope of the con-
templated work has been outlined.
Red Cross headquarters had gone for
ward with preparations for extending its
stations in that theater Of operations
after the Austro-Hungartan government
had given consent for such action. when
suddenly all plans were halted by an
unexpected query from the British EN-
bassy that led the State Department to
make representations at London.

FEAST OF TABERNACLES

The Jewish feast of Tabernacles or
Succoth win commence on Wednesday
evening, October i, and will last for
nine days. According TO the Bible the
feast lasted only seven days. In the
course of time, however, the feast was
heightened to nine days; the last two
being the eighth day of solemn as
sembly or the feast of conclusion, and
the day of rejoicing for the law.
Succoth means booths. and the name
owes its origin to the fact that on this
feast many families build festive
booths in which the holiday meals are
served. In some cases pious people
will spend all the days of the feast
living in the booth in order to give
literal fulflment to the injunction: "In
booths shall We dwell seven days"
The frail booth built as temper
airy dwelling, an imperfect shelter
from the elements, is to remind man
that he is constantly under the protec-
ton of the Almighty, just as the faith
ers of Israel were under his protec-
tion in the wilderness. fIn order that
your generations may know that I
made the children of Israel dwell in
booths, when 7 brought them up from
the land Of Egypt"
The sentiment of the feast is rooted
deep in the ancient agricultural life of
Israel Succoth was one of the great
pilgrimage festivals. The other two
were passover and the feast of weeks.
Each Of these was at the harvest time
|of some particular crop. On these
three occasions the people from all
over the land of Canaan would jour-
|ney to the Holy City and spend the
festival there. This feast, Succoth,
known also as the Feast of Ingather-
ing was at the time Of the gathering
1 in of fruits. The booths therefore
may be reminiscent of the booths
erected by the busy harvesters as
temporary dwellings in the field. The
palm branches and the willows, the
myrtle and citron still borne in pro-
cession around the synagog on this
feast also suggest this ancient harvest
setting.
Succoth was the last of the three
harvest festivals; and as it ushered in
the winter season when rain was need
ed for next years crop, water SER
vice was held in the temple; and to
this day the prayers for the last day
of Succoth include special prayers for
rain, which are continued in the SER
vices until the time when the spring
harvest comes again with the feast OF
Passover.
