He spoke innocently enough, and

he had dealt the other. He contin-

Far across the waste there came
the bowling of wolf. Both listened.
Then:
'It is nothing. There are wolves
about" said Emile indifferently.
They were nearing the edge of the
timber belt when the bowling broke
out afresh. Many wolf voices took
up the cry. Now the lean forms of

Alphonse and he strode on tegeth-

shadows, but their cries resounded all
about them. And among the trees it
was quite dark already.
Neither of the men had any weapon
except a hunting knife. AS is custom
ary among the habitants, they had
expended their store of cartridges
early in the winter, shooting their
supply of caribou meat, and they had
left their rifles cached, rather than
bear the weight of them on the re-

Now from all sides the pack bayed

again retreating. Again wolf leap

That was to save Alphonse.
But it would soon be dark, and then

new PLAN TO
CHECK THE BOIL WEEV|L
Senator Smith, Of South Car
DINA, Would Establish
Cotton Growing Zones
INV Associated Press,)

WASHINGTON, Dec 7.-Creation of
series of zones in the south in whlch
no cotton could be grown for period
of one year as a means of checking and
discriminating the boil weevil in this
Country will be proposed in bill which
senator Smith, of South Carolina, an
nounced he soon would offer and urge
for massage. The senator proposes that
the non-growing area snail be started III
the extreme northeastern limit or the
cotton section and gradually work south-
ward and westward in series OF zones
100 miles i'm width each year until the
entire cotton-growins section shall nave
been covered. ,.,
The federal government, Senator Smlth
said, would be given the power to ponce
the zone to see that the law was Cd
served and growers and ginners anecteo
would be compensated by the govern,
ment Experts estimated that it would
cost 5000. 600 a year to maintain the
boil weevil zone in Alabama when SEN
ator Smith proposed a year ago.
The first year the cotton prohibttlVe
zone would include the extreme eastern
horizons of North Carolina and South
Carolina The next year this zone would
he released and the non-productive area
extended 100 miles and this rotation
would be kept up until the entire ter
ritory had been covered.
Highest chronological authorities
have approved the zone system as the
only practical means of exterminad ting
the devastating boil weevil in this coun
try" said Senator Smith. THE annual
cost would be ininitesimal as compared
to the benefit that would be derived. six
hundred million dollars has been eX-
pended to eradicate the boil weevil in
this country, but he still thrives and
is moving rapidly toward the fields OF
North ana South Carolina.
The zone system not only would
prove the practicability of this method
of discriminating the boil weevil, but by
giving farmers opportunity to grow over
crops, would demonstrate whether the
south can successfully grow other food
