profitable, provided cheap labor can
be secured, to have the weeviIs hand
picked and killed, and all punctured
squares picked and burned. One
adult weeyil or one square that has
young weevils growing on it destroy
ed now, will mean several thousand
weevils less within the pext few
weeks.
After the cotton plant has reached
height Of about fourteen to eighteen
inches and has begun to fruit rapidly,
It may not be found profitable to con
tinue the practice Of hand-pieking,
but even after this time the farmer
should continue intensive, shallow cul-
tiyation, using either brush or stick
attached to his cultiyator in such way
as viii agitate the stalks, causing the
punctured squares to more readily fail

the sun can strike them, a large per
cent viii dry up. thus destroying the
young weeyil. This rapid, shallow
cultivation should continue until cot

VIII conserve the moisture and keep
the cotton fruiting rapidly through a
long period of drouth Second, it will
enable the farmer to agitate the plants
SO that many Of the squares will fall
to the ground and be destroyed as de-
scribed above.
Unless farmers pick the weevils and
punctured squares at this time, the
young cotton will not be able to set
any fruit until such time as we may
have sufficient hot, dry weather to
check the depredations Of the weevil
II the rapid, shallow cultivation is not
continued until late in the season. the
vitality Of the plant will be SO reduced
that during the hot, dry weather the
plant Will be unable to set fruit.
Therefore, cultivation becomes the sec.
ond most important factor in dealing
with the weevil problem, at this par
ticular time.
It is well to continually bear in mind
that after fields once become infested
with the weevil, the hot sunshine is
about the only remedy for this pest.
This being the case, if crop is tn be
made after hot weather sets in in
earnest it win be necessary to con
tinue cultivation in order to conserve
all the moisture possible.
Specialists in the work Of boil wee
vii control have advocated many diff
ferent methods as important, but it is
demonstrated fact that farmers who
have made the most marked success
in growing cotton under weevil condi-
tons are the farmers who have foi-
lowed very close cultural methods and
practices outlined in this circular. We
would have it understood that this ad-
vice is intended to meet present con
ditions and that it is not intended to
displace our suggestions in regard to
destruction Of stalks and other hiber-
mating places, deep fall-breaKing and
other measures of control heretofore
advocated.

speedy torpedo boat destroyers are
tonight combing the ocean off Nan
tucket Shoals lightship in final search
for the crew of the British freighter
Kingstonian, but naval officers feel
there is no hope of their being found.
In fact they are now extremely
doubtful II a boat of that name was
a victim OF Sundays submarine OPP
erations of the U-53.
The whereabouts OF the daring
E-boat is now a mystery. 1t can be
definitely stated, however. that she
has made good her escape from these
waters.
Rear-Admtrals Austin D knight
and Albert Gleaves at noon today de-
cided to once and for all settle specu-
lation over the fate of the mysterious
kingstonian.
Last night Admiral Gleaves recalled
all the destroyers and then went to
sea, after a wireless was received say
ing the Kngstonians crew had been
rescued by tramp steamer and were
being taken to New York. This
proved to be erroneous and probably
referred TO the survivors Of the
Strathdene.
Make Thorough Search.
At 1880 this afternoon the first of
the searching fotilla put to sea. She
was followed closely by the others.
No specific orders were given for their
return. The commanders were told
to thoroughly search the ocean for a
distance two hundred miles east and
northeast off the Nantucket Lightship
and fifty-five miles to the north and
south.
The search Is thorough and pains
I ~ tad AI
the sweep of water between Nantucket
Lightship and Montauk Point into
five-mile strips and assigned each OF
the destroyers to comb one of the
strips
The sweep covered Is in the form
OF an isosceles triangle, each arm of
which Is 100 miles long and with a
200-mile base. Starting from the
longitude of Montauk Point, the no
tilla of destroyers. in parallel columns,
swept a hundred miles west OF the
lightship. They travelled at q uni
form speed of twenty one knots an
hour.
Failure to md the Kingstonian' &
crew leads many to believe only Ave
vessels fell victims to the submarine
instead of six. as officially reported.
Think May Have Been Mistake.
The similarity of names of the
steamer Christian Knudsen and the
kingstonian-or Kingston, rs first re-
ports referred to her-suggested the
possibility OF there being 4 mistake.
Admiral Knight said this afternoon
that if no survivors OF the Kingstonian
