BRITISH HOSPITALS

London, Jan. 4.-According 70 the
Daily Telegraph, arrangements are be-
ing made to replace a number OF the
young surgeons in the British hospl =
tails by Americans, in order to enable
the Britishers to enter the army. There
are hundreds of doctors Of military
age in home hospitals who wish to
Join the army, says the Telegraph, but
hitherto they have been denied that
honor owing to lacl1sof substitutes.
With a view to meeting the dincuis
ty, the Daily Telegraph continues, the
army authorities some time ago In
quired of the medical authorities in
the United States whether they could
send to England detachments OF young
American doctors.
Hundreds of young doctors IN the
United States, according to the Tele-

AMERICAN DELEGATES REPORT
TO PRESIDENT ON MEXICO
President Wilson Refused to Discuss
Any Phase of the Situation.

Washington, Jan. 3.-AlI the threads
of the angled situation, between the
United States and Mexico were held
tonight by President Wilson. The
American members of the Mexican
American joint commission made to
late today a deadlock and whether the
conferences of the commission shall
continue is a question the president
has added to those already under con-
sideration, the determination of which
will shape the administrators future
policy toward the de facto government
Although an authoritative admission
to that effect was lacking, it became
known that Secretary Lane. DR.. ]. r.
Mott and Judge George Gray, the
American commissioners, regarded as
useless further attempts to secure a
settlement of questions at issue
through the joint commission. They
submitted to the president a written
report of their failure to have ratified
by Carranza the protocol providing for
withdrawal Of the American troops
control of the border, and a@zed him
to decide whether they should continue
their conferences on other subjects as
suggested by Carranza.
The president and the three commits
sioners discussed the report an hour
quiries to the president: The pres
ident said he did not wish to discuss
the question in any Of its phases.
AT least one more conference with
the MexicanH will be held. Some day
this week Luis Cabrera, chairman OF
the Mexican commission. and the 9TH
or two members. Ignacio Bonillas and
Albert ]. Piano, are expected to meet
the American commissioners here and
receive their reply to Carranza's latest
communication.
Tt seemed certain tonight that some
radical changes in policy would be
adopted soon by the United States

Mike Don1in, formerly New York

star, is to have charge of all the base
ball and boxing exhibitions for the
Cuba Exhibition company this coming

class ball players just now Mike is
having his troubles getting the right
men in line.
The chief trouble seems to be that
owners and managers of big league
clubs are putting on the screws these
days, and while aNgeneral cut in SAL
aries seems to be on the schedule, the
club owners are taking measures to see
that none of their men play ball or
perform in any athletic exhibitions
during the off season that might yield
them either exercise or profit. Only

men engaged in some occupation that
will harden them up for the regular
season.

PAGE TALKS ABOUT
THE BOIL WEEVIL

weevil. In some cases the wee
wills are puncturing a large share
of the early squares. The dam
age done will depend largely
upon weather conditions and the
treatment that the cotton gets
during the next few weeks. The
adult weevil prefers to feed upon
the young squares. When one
is punctured an egg is deposited
which develops into small white
worm within three or five days.
From the time the egg is laid
until the adult WeeVil comes out
is from two to three weeks.
After the square has been pune
tured it usually falls to the
ground within a few days. If
the square falls in the shade of
the plant or in a bunch of grass,
the chances for the development
Of the weevil are good, but if
the direct sunlight can strike it
the young weevil will usually be
killed. The temperature at the
surface of the ground is much
higher than it is two or three
feet above. Because of the
above facts the most practical
method of combating the insect
is by giving constant and shall
low cultivation. This will keep
down the grass and weeds, so
that the sun has the very best
chance to strike every falling
square. Very frequently a chain
attachment is put on the pillow,
which will tend to drag the
squares to the middle of the
rows. The constant cultivation
will also help to maintain the
moisture in the soil and foster
the rapid growth of the cotton
plants. A few weeks of rain or
lack of proper cultivation would
mean absolute destruction of the
crop in many instances. Write
to the State Department of Ag-
riculture for Farmers Bulletin
No. 512. This bulletin covers
the boil weevil problem thor
oughly.
Altho the seed of cowpeas and
soy beans are high, a small patch
at least should be planted on
every farm. From this patch
the seed for next year can be
saved. The vines can then be
pastured off or turned under.
Feed is high priced, and an acre
of cowpeas will help in furnish
ing feed for the hogs that are to
make the meat for the family.
Try turning under an acre of cow
pea vines after they have been
pastured and see the effect that
it will have on the cotton or corn
crop next year. In addition to

WAR ON THE GRUBS.

Corn we must have! White Grubs
will not allow us to have it. There
fore we must get the grub and make
it possible to produce good crop. We
cannot kill the grub very easily ex-
cept by fall blowing but all grubs
turn into what is known as the June
Bug. AS the June bug is the adult Of
the white grub we must get the in
sect that lays the eggs that produce
the grub.
4 Now is the time when we can elm
mate q great number Of these pests
Every June bug lays a number Of
eggs and every egg means more grubs
and every grub means less corn.
| The people who live in town have
without doubt noticed the swarms of
June bugs that are attracted by the
street lights. Has it occurred to you
that as inhuman as it may seem it
would be doing a good deed by killing
as many of these as possible? 1t is
true they may not affect you much
directly but they do affect the farm
er's crop very greatly, and what can

They are attracted by light. In
view Of this fact why not take a pail,
or better yet a wash tub, fill it half
full of water, pour a little kerosene
over the surface, set this vessel con-
tanning water and oil out in your pas
ture lands and hang a lantern about
one foot from the surface. The light
will attract the bugs, they will strike
the lantern and fall into the liquid
and the kerosene will soon kill them.

next years corn crop if he would set
one or two such traps in his field.

better
