LOCAL OPERATORS
 HEAR PANAMA TALK
w. IL. Williams and D. E. Andrews Awaiting Presidents Call, Get
 Wireless From Colon.

Wireless journals and a number of newspapers recently publishedd an ar ticle stating that at il p. m. on Octo- Der 27,, President Wilson would send from the government wireless station at Arlington a message to be re- layed throughout the United States to test the preparedness of amateur Op- orators. Last night L.Williams of 59 Hart street, who has a government radio license and an excellent sta- ton at his home, and l.. E, Andrews waited from 9:30 until 11:45 o'clock in an attempt to catch the message but heard none. Neither did any oth- CT of the operators in this section MT. Andrews of 447 Arch street was for merly a wireless operator on the U. s. s. Rhode Isand.
 While waiting for" the presidents s preparedness message, the local wire less men heard numerous messages from all parts of the Atlantic sea- sent out from the government station at Colon, Panama, to the Philadelphia navy yard. They hear privaee mes sages being flashed from the Mar conf station at Cape Cod to outgoing and incoming steamers and heard the Liner Ryndam talking from away out at sea. They also heard the station at Fire Isand, N. Y, talking with Philadelphia as well as the Ar lington station sending out govern ment messages in code. To test their own ability, they conversed via wire less with Frank Mulvihill, who has a station on Main street, this city.
 MT Williams states that during the recent German submarine activity off the New England coast, he was able to get flashes of the Teuton's mes sages all in code. Last night MT. Williams had a lantern attached to the top of his aerial, causing much curiosity about the city.

THE PINK BOIL WORM
NOW THREATENS COTTON
Pest Is Considered Greater Menace
Than the Boil WeeviI. Is More
Difficult to Fight.

WASHINGTON-The pink boil
worm, most destructive cotton pest
known, has appeared for the first
time in North America. The depart
ment of agriculture announced today
that worms had been discovered in
northern Mexico, where their pres
ence, the department says in an Off
cial bulletin, CONSTITUTES one of the
greatest menaces which has come to
the American industry in its history"
Importation from Mexico of cotton
seed, cotton seed hulls and seed cot
ton is prohibited under an order is
sued late today.
Discovery of the worm was an
nounced in the following statement;
Most Destructive Pest Known.
"The pink boil worm, the most de-
structive of known pests of cotton,
has been discovered in the Laguna
district, Coahuila, Mexico, within 200
miles of the Texas border. Amend

ulations, effective Immediately, have
been promulgated by the secretary of
agriculture prohibiting the importa-

VEL VET BEANS IN CORN
and Emancipation OfSOutFtUest Georgia

A method that has proved very sat
isfactory is to plant hill of beans
after every two hills of corn. 1t is
not necessary to plant the beans be-
tween each two hills of corn because
they run so far; the corn is usually
completely wrapped up before the
end of August.
1t is the experience of many who
have been growing the combination
for years that the beans do not de-
crease the yield of corn; others main
tain that there is a slight decrease in
yield, but not enough to make the
combination undesirable. Still others
declare that there is actually an in
crease in the Yield, because the grow
ing corn is benefited by the nitrogen
that the legume takes from the soil
and air. Certainly the succeeding crop
is benefited by the velvet beans.
The common practice is to gather
all the beans needed for seed about
the time the corn is pulled, or imme-
diately afterward. Very few try to
pick the beans clean. Many livestock
men say that the cheapest and best
meat they have ever produced, both
beef and pork, has been by utilizing
velvet beans in the cornfeld.

LOSS OF S20O,OOO,OOO
CAUSED BY BOIL WEEVIL
ESTIMATED 2,OOO,O 10000 BALES OF
COTTON HAVE BEEN DE-
STROYED THIS YEAR.

NEW YORK.-Approximately two
million bales of cotton, valued at
about $200,000,0OO, has been de-
stroyed by the boil weevil, and about
70 per cent of the cotton belt was in
tested by the insect this season, re-
ports j. A. Taylor, president of the
National Ginners' Association, who
has just returned from an extensive
trip through the cotton belt.
There has never been a year in
the cotton industry when the weevil
had done so much damage" said Mr..
Taylor. ''The pest has spread rapid
ly. l estimate the damage at "a per
cent greater than last year, all of it
in new territory where the boil Wee
vii has never been known. The Wee
vii this year reached the Atlantic
coast for the first time"
Mr.. Taylor said that he had re-
ceived reports from the South show
ing that the pest had covered more
counties this year than during the
last four years combined. Alabama,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Ar
kansas and Oklahoma were most Sc
riously affected.

.EL PASO GROWING
RICH Off SOLDIERS
BORDER CITY is REAPING MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS A MONTH.
MEXICANS PAY TRIBUTE.

Residents of Ell Paso, Tx, are reap
ing a harvest of gold from United
States soldiers on the border and
from Mexicans who are forced to
seek food and shelter in Texas. Cost
ly new homes are being erected on
the gray-brown hills that encircle the
city. Hundreds of new automobiles
roll through the streets and large
hotels are crowded nightly with SOL
diers and officers and those who are
being enriched. Surrounding towns
are bitterly jealous of Ell Paso, for
the Pass City is said to be reaping
from $1,500,000 to $4,000,000 a
month from the soldiers.
Mexican refugees are forced to pay
we'll for what they get in Ell Paso,
whose population of 10000 is nearly
half Mexican. Even the Mexicans on
the north side of the Rio Grande have
the fever for making money
Ell Paso Is Enjoying Sensation.
The location of Ell Paso is such
that lines of communication from
Mexico seem to focus at this point.
Almost every day an unnamed 'ref-
ugee" or mining man" or "Carranza
adherent" appears on the border
with story that Villa is raising Cain
again, or that Carranza is losing his
pull, or that Gen. Pershing has adj
vanced his column deeper into Mex
leo. He is received with acclaim.
Texas politicians shout: "See there
We are trembling in our beds nights
for fear of raid across the border.
We must be protected. More troops!
More troops"
Army experts who have studied the
situation in Mexico and on the Texas
border have arrived at the conclusion
that the FL Paso cries are due to a
combination of 20 per cent of fear
and of so per cent of desire for fat
pickings.
