Cotton Fields of u. S.
Threatened by Pink Huns

weevil, In that it can live and gorge
Itself upon cotton in dry and wet sea-
sons, and may be transported inside the
cOttonseed.
The boil weeyil causes millions OF
dollars OF loss each year. The boil
worm is a worse pest. and when once
Il gets a firm foothold Is much harder
to get rid OF than the boil weevll.
Many Texas farmers believe that Ger
man agents during last winter were
quietly at work distributing cotton
seed infested with boil worms, and that
they hoped to ruin all or much OF the
American Gotten crop this year and
next.
Cotton experts say that n the Pink
Hun spreads over the coiton-producing
area OF the United States, American
farmers will have 20 quit raising cot
ton and turn their fields 10 other crops
or leave them idle They assert that
cetton growers cannot cope with both
the boil weeyil and the boil worm.
That's why the government is spend
ing millions OF dollars right now In
fighting the Pink Huns in. southern
Texas.

Another day I visited town in the
area that was evacuated by Hindenburg
year ago last spring when he was
forced TO shorten his western line. Il
was beautiful town OF 10000 people.
The Germans, the day they left It. sys-
tematlcally dynamited every building In
the little city, except those in three
blocks at one edge. This story was
told me by an old man I found wan
dering about:
Before they began their dynamlting,"I
he said, they picked out OF the civilian
population all the able-bodled women
and girls and sent them to Germany
leaving only old people and little chill
dren. Then they put us in three blocks
and told us they were going 10 blow
up the town. but the three blocks we
were In would be spared.
From our places in the spared area
we saw them destroy all the rest OF
The town. Then they retired But when
they had gone two or three miles out
side the town. they turned their can
non on the three blocks where the old
folks and children were sheltered, and
more than a hundred OF them were
killed."

Ratify Prohibition

In the Methodist church at Nichols, Sunday morning, MT. I4anphear of 9Hartford, assistant secretary of the Connecticut Temperance Union. after speaking of the prevalence of prohi- bition of the bipartisan variety and of the certainty of national p1ohibi- ton, spoke in substance as follows:
 Our government has shown what it thinks of liquor and the liquor inter ests as affecting our winning of the war. If we of Connecticut disap- prove of the determination to win the war, a good way to show it would be in refusing to ratify prohibition. Also government investigations have shown many of the brewers are directly or indirectly involved in pro- German schemes. If we want to further such schemes one good way is to favor the brewers in their fight against ratifica- ton. But if we are 100 per cent American and are really open-eyed we can't be less than 51 per cent. prohibition.

MUST FEED 2.sOO,OO MORE
U. S. Must Supply People in Recon
 quercd Territory.

Washington, Oct. 22-Allied vic tories in France and Belgium are daily adding to the number of mouths that must be fed by the people of the United States, it was declared by the United States Food Administration yesterday.
 The victories of the past week have added a French population of 1,560,- GOO and Belgian population of S00,- 900, it is estimated, to the number this government recently estimates must be fed.
 The situation will be somewhat re- lieved when the Allies get through to Ghent, for that will enable the dis tributlon of immense stores of fooG at Rotterdam.
 But the continuous gains of terri tory add increasing numbers to off set any advantage in facilities. Fol ! instance, 1t is estimated by the Foo6 Administration that 9,750,000 per. sons will have to be fed when tht Allies have pushed the Germans bacl to the Mouse.
 Without these additions, the in l crease in the amount of food neces sary for the United States to shiI abroad is not less than 50 per cent over last years supply, or 17,55O, ,00 tons as compared with 11,S2O, % tons.
