letter From TuSCdnia Survivor.

Mrs. C. A. Berry received the following letter last Saturday from her brother, James L. (Fatie) Garter, of Go. E, 9th Bn. 2oth Eng, who was on board the trans port Tuseania sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on February 6. He does not say. but 1t is presumed the letter was written from England as he states they had not arrived at their desti- nation:
 Dear sister
 am safe across the ocean and hope you haven't worrieQ5 a minute about me, but am afraid you have, though You have seen in the pa pers of some trouble on sea since l left.
 It has been like a paradise with us since we arrived here. The people couldn't do enough for us. They take us to shows and give concerts snd entertainments for US and while at these places they passed cakes. coffee and cigarettes. It was mostly the Red Cross that furnished these good things 1 think. Anyway, the girls of the town. We get from three to five meals each day and are being feds better here than we were in America, but don't know how long it will last.
 We are not to cur stopping place yet, but are safely on land. don't think l care to go back home until the war is over for got some little scare.
 l wasn't sea sick a minute, neith- CT was my partner, but nearly all of the boys were for a day or two and then they got over it and we had pretty nice trip, but were all worn out when we reached here. It is lots warmer here than 1t was in Washington. D. C..
 Please send me another razor, shaving soap, brush, tooth brush and paste, also some Prince Albert tobacco, as lost everything had on the ship.
 This is sure pretty country. Wish l could tell you all l have seen and my experience up until the present date. l wouldn't take in the world for this trip and my experience If can only get home again, and 1 am sure 1 will. 1 can't feel any other way.

FREEZES AND BOIL WttvII.
No Reason to Believe That the Cotton Pest
 Has Been fxterminated.

It is extremely unwise for cot ton farmers to assume that the freezes of the past winter have ex- terminated the cotton boil weevl, says the Department of Agricul- ture, in answer to many inquiries from the South.
 During the past winter the tenn peratures have been lower than at any time since 1899, and there can hardly be any doubt that this extreme cold has reduced the num- bers of weeyils in many sections of the South. The impression has been gained by many planters that the Weevil has been reduced to neglible numbers, if not altogether exterminated. It is too much to expect that the temperatures have been uniformly cold enough to ab- solutely eXterminate the WeeVil from large areas. The records of the department of agriculture in- dicate that there is at least from l to 5 per cent survival of the weevil in those sections which have been thoroughly studied as against a normal of z.6 per cent survival. This percentage of surviving wee Vils is sufficient to restock the cot ton fields of the South before the end of the growing season.
 The instinct of the Weevil leads it to seek the warmest shelter available in the vicinity of it's breeding ground It will shelter it. self under the bark of trees, or in thick hanging moss upon the trees, under the thatch of roofs. in straw stacks. in seed storehouses and gins and in other buildings. It is, therefore. quite easy to see that no matter how cold the external tenn peratures are there is always a possibility that there will be wee wills surviving in each field sheltered securely enough to carry them through the winter.
 The experience of 25 years with the boil weevil in this country has shown that one or two weevils sur viving in field can easily produce enough offsprings to destroy all but earliest portions of the crop.
 In the opinion of the department of agriculture, it would be very un- fortunate if the prevailing impress ion concerning the boil weevil should increased the acreage of cotton at the expense of food crops. At the present time what is most urgently needed throughout the South is an increased production of food and feed crops. Indications are that the normal acreage in cot ton, will give a supply of the staple sufficient for all purposes. It is clearly a matter of patriotism as as we'll as sound judgment for the planters to increase the acreage in food crops.
 Director General McAdoo has al ready issued a warning that trans portation difficulties in 1918 may make it difficult, if not impossible, to supply food and feed to commun- ities that neglect to provide their own necessities. If the South does not feed itself it will go hungry or retard the war activities of the na- tion and prolong the war.
