The Cotton Boil Weevil.
Mary Frances Jones.

Mary Frances Jones.
AS We live in the cotton growing
section of the South, the most impor-
tant insect for US to know sonlething g
about is the Mexican cottonboll wee
vii. 1t feeds only upon cotton and its
injury to this crop amounts every
year to s25,oOO,0OO.
Let US look into the life history Of
the weeyil. In 1892 he crossed the
Mexican border and entered the cot
ton growing States west Of the Mis-
sissippi. In few years more, for he
travels fast, he crossed the Mississip-
pi and has since made himself at
home in most Of the cotton States east
OF the river. We fear he will very
soon have possession of the entire cot
ton section of the South.
How does he travel? He flies easily,
especially in the fall and during a sea-
son may go fifty miles. Another way
for which man is directly responsible
is by carrying seed from gin on the
border of a weevil section into parts
where no weevils have been. Why
can't we kill them when they first ap-
pear? Let us see.
There are four stages in this in
sect's life-frst, the egg, second, the
Iarva or grub, third, the pupa and
fourth, the adult.
The adult or grown weevil which
has passed a comfortable winter in
some pile of brush or trash. appears
in the cotton field early in the season
and waits for the blossoms, equares
and bolls to appear. AS soon as lit
tie green boil is seen, she bores a
deep hole with her long sncut and LAYS
her eggs-a great many Of them in the
boil. Then she seals it up airtight so
that nothing will keep them from
Matching. In a very few days these
eggs hatch into larvae or grubs. The
lavae which, Of course. is sealed up in
the boil. imediately begins to fed on
the tender green of the inside of the !
boil. SO great is its appetite that the !
boil soon begins to turn yellow. with
ars and then falls Off Think Of thou
sands, even millions of these boil
homes of the weevil dropping to the
ground! What is the result? A short
crop.
After the boil falls the !arva con-
tinues to feed and to grow. In few
days it passes into its third stage, a
oupa. 1t is developing fast. In three
iavs more it is a full grown weevil
and is ready to cut its way out OF its
prison home and to make its living in
he outside world. Since the egg was
aid in the hole only fifteen days have
passed and we have a full groWn wee
ri which begins to lay eggs for an
>ther generation. Five generations
nay come during one season. And
zach mother weevi1 lays from 100 to
100 eggs. Think Of the size Of tbe fam-

Some Common Birds That
Destroy the Boil Weevil
Ashby McGoWn.

Ashby NcGoWn.
The most injurious enemy OF the
farmer is the tMexican cottonboll wee
vii so called because it originated in
Mexico. The enemies Of the boil wee
vii are the birds. Because of the
habits of this insect man cannot kill
it. Let US protect the useful birds be-
cause they can and do protect US.
There are about forty different spe-
cies Of birds that eat the boil weevil.
We are most familiar with the bob
white or partridge, bull-bat, or night
hawk, red winged blackbird, white
trroated sparrow, mocking bird,
brown thrasher, Carolina wrenn,
meadow lark, swallows and orioles.
Let us discuss some of these The
partridge is away the most destructive
of all birds to the boil weeyil because
the boil weevil lives in the cotton
patch and Mr.. Bob White does too.
He does not always make his home in
a cotton field but often makes it on
the roadside, in the woods and corn
fields or in tufts of grass. Frequently,
however it is between cotton rows,
the nest we'll lined WITH grass. From
eight to eighteen eggs are found in
nest. but as many as thirty-seven eggs
have been found. The eggs are glosy
white, running to sharp point at one
end and are placed close together,
points downward Sometimes as
many as two broods are raised in one
season. They can be classed as an
expert at hiding, because of It's ability
to fatten itself on the ground A per-
son may be within two feet of this
bird and not see it. He is of brown
ish color resembling dried leaves and
rotten wood. One family destroy
thousands and thousands Of insects
annually.
Next comes the bull-bat or night
hawk. which is here only in summer.
1t has the advantage over all other
BIRDS because it flies about at night
when the insects are flying about,
too. 1t has mouth shaped like a
frogs. With this open he flies about
catching all sorts in his mouth, which
is trap of death. The size Of this
bird is very deceitful, 1t is very
small bird with stomach as large as
a pigeons. The eggs are laid On
rocky shelf or high plateau unfre-
Quented by man.
The red-winged olackbird lives all
over the United States, They live
in the South near large
swamps and rice fields. The nest Is

and this was followed by another Sc

Hughes stoves, manufactured in Chi

best on the market at the present time.
These stoves are sold at cost, plus the
transportation charges to this city,
and range in price from $14O down to
SO. depending, of course. on the mum.
ber of burners and the finish. An ad-
ditional charge of $22.50 is made for
installation, which includes the meter
and necessary switches and wire
Those who are now operating electric
stoves in Denison are more than
pleased with them and it is said that
the cost of operation does not average
over $3.50 per month for the ordinary
family.
Electric cooking is no longer an ex.

heat without fame, under perfect con-

1t means that in place of guess work
with COAL wood and other fuel stoves
the housewife can employ scientific
exactness. The stoves handled by the
city are built to do every kind Of
cooking we'll and are constructed for
heavy duty and durability. With one
of these stoves in the home there is
little danger of fire and in addition it
is much easier to operate as all that

in History Of City Schools Civ
en- Diplomas Thursday Evening
Mr.. JACKSON MAKES ADDRESS
Excellent Program Carried Out in
Creditable Manner-Occasion to
be Long Remembered by Class

The Germania opera house was we'll
filled Thursday evening with fond
fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters
together with friends of the thirty-four
graduates of the Denison high school
who gathered to witness the exercises
in connection with the awarding of
the diplomas to the young people who
had successfully completed the re.
Quired course in the public schools.
The class of 1916 was one of the larg-
est classes ever graduated from the
Denison high school and it was an i'm.
posing sight to see the bright young
men and women seated in a half circle
on the stage. The young ladies of the
class formed precedent which it is
hoped will be carried out by the grad.
uating classes OF the future in the
style of graduating gowns to be
worn at commencement. 1t was de-
cided by the young ladies of the class
to do away with the expensive frocks
and all wear simple dresses of the
same design. They looked charming
in their neat Peter Thompson suits
and the young men were equally at
tractive with white trousers and dark
serge coats.
The program commenced with a
musical selection by the boys and
girls glee clubs of the high school
lead by Miss Winifred Wright. On
account OF the illness of Dean Wilcox.
of the State university at Iowa City
a change was made necessary in the
speaker for the evening as word was
received Thursday morning that he
had left for Rochester Mimi. for an
operation. Supt. c. E. Humphrey
through stroke of good luck, was
able to secure Mr.. Jackson, president
of the school board of Council Bluffs,
to deliver the commencement address.
The speaker of the evening was intro.
duced by Superintendent Humphrey,
and he told those present that he had
but about two hours in which to pre-
pare his address. Mr.. Jackson chose
for his subject ..lnvestment of Per
sonality," and in most pleasing and
forceful manner gave the graduates
much valuable advice. The speaker
dwelt at some length upon the bene-
fits to be derived from close applica
tion to whatever work one wished to|
accomplish. He told what might be
accomplished by perseverance, and
