Omitted Press Staff Correspondence
London, June 25.-By maiD The
Prince of Wales is celebrating his
25th birthday by starting housekeep-
ing on his own, free from the re-
straint Of Buckingham palace, where
he has had to govern his comlngs
and goings by the etiquette of court
and the convenience of his royal par,
ents. York house, st. James is the
princes new home, and the altera-
tions and redecoration being practi-
cally completed he is busily engaged
in moving in.
Whatever the war has done for
most royal families, it has firmly es-
tablished the house of Windsor on
the throne of England, at least, as far
as the present heir to the throne Is
concerned. The stranger does not
need to probe public opinion very
deeply to find that there is a sincere
popular and personal regard for the
Prince of Wales, who has already in
herited most of the national affection
for his grandfather the late King Ed
ward. King Edwards hold on public
affection, engendered after most
unpopular period of wild oat sow
ing, was due to his very human fail
ings and virtues, due possibly to the
fact that he advertised no special
vices, has attained the same goal by
proving himself very human young
man.
Prior to the war he was always re-
garded as being too much impressed
with the responsibilities of his future

Here's HOU You
Can Get Grenade
Banks From, u. S.

The following brief rules will regu-
late the distribution of the Hand
Grenade banks in the Tenth federal
reserve district:
Amy school pupil under ten
years may receive a hand grenade
bank at the opening of school this
fall, by purchasing from his teacher
at least one war savings stamp,
face value $500, with money earned
during vacation, and presenting a
letter to the teacher telling briefly
how the money was earned.
Pupils ten years or over must
buy at least two war savings stamps
with money earned during vacation.
3-Teachers shall submit letters
and lists of pupils complying with
rules to county superintendents dur
ing the first week of school.
County superintendent shall put
his approval on list and deliver list
with letters to the county chairman
of savings, after copying such letters
as he may desire to publish in the
local papers of his county.
5-County chairman shall then ap-
prove the list and send it at once to
John T. Wayland, director of savings
Tenth federal reserve district, who
will Immediately forward to the coun
ty chairman the county's allotmen
of hand grenade banks to be distrib
uted at his direction to the pupils
who have complied with the rules.
6-The name of each pupil mus
be represented by a letter writer
either by pupil, parent or teacher
telling how money was earned.
County chairmen are already ar
ranging to award prizes in war saw
| ings stamps to pupils buying the
largest number of savings stamps
and thrift stamps with vacation earn
ings.
Hand grenades, just like big Broth
er Bill hurled at the Hun a few
months ago, are being emptied OF
high explosive and percussion caps
by the war department, and turned
over to the treasury department by
the thousand to be converted into
souvenir savings banks, many OF
which will, no doubt, reach this
] county.

position, and likely to develop into a
colorless personality. In public he
was solemn and shy, and was sus-
pected of being too mother idden."
Then came the war, with the rush
of young men to the front The prince
by insisting on being allowed to take
showed himself spirited youngster
his chance with the youths of his own
age. Revolutionary opponents of the
monarchical system declared that this
was good advertising" but the sol
diers who encountered him in France
and Italy say that If it was merely ad-
vertising the monarchy, it was a risky
job the way the prince did it, Far
from sitting in the shelter of G H. @.
or in the comparative safety of the
S. 0. S. he took his turn in the front
line and more than once narrowly
escaped the further advertisement of
"Blighty," (B E. f. for woundl.
This welcome escape from the frig.
id atmosphere of the court deyeloped
his character in manner which
would have been quite impossible un |
der any other conditins. And the de- |
velopment was all for the good. His
preternatural solemnity fell from him
like cloak, and the open air life.
with its mixture of danger, freedom
and democratic camaraderie, disclosed |
a most essentially human personality.
Command of men has given him self
confidence and an intimate knowl-
edge of men, matters and social con
dition.s
The prince is a most capable sailor,
fully worthy of his naval rank of
lieutenant and his promotion to the
army rank of colonel on the staff
was more than complimentary step
due to royal favor, for Sir Douglas
Haig's staff swear there is no more
competent staff officer than the heir
to the British throne He is also a
capable aviator, although his brother
Prince Albert aims at the title of
flying prince" and is in the Royal
air force He has lately developed a
keen interest in the housing question.
and as a considerable landlord he has
every opportunity of obtaining first
hand information Which opportuni-
ties he has taken, considerably to the
chagrin and surprise of the estate
agents. The prince, as Duke of Corn
wall owns a large portion of the most
congested districts of South London,
and he has made a number of sur
prise visits to investigate living CON
ditions
Another proof of his popularity is
that the prince has been accepted as
fashion leader and the nuts" are as
siduously initiating his style of dress,
and studying his taste in socks, ties,
shoes and hats.

water which the weevils would drink
The Poisoning Tests of 1915

The first tests of this nature were
instituted in 1915 and have been CT n
tinued to date by the various agents
of the Delta Laboratory of the Uni
ted States Bureau of EntomalGgy un-
der the direction of the writer. The
majority of these tests were located
in the vicinity of Tallulah, La, which
is in typical delta territory and nor
mally subject to an exceedingly
heavy degree of weevil injury due to
the great humidity and excessive
rains which prevail. For the purpose
of these experiments of 1915, tripli-
cate series Of plats were surveyed on
three different plantations near Tai
lulah. Each of these series consisted
of five plats of about one acre each
as nearly uniform as possible in all
conditions affecting their productio0
of cotton. In each case the two end
plats were given four, live, ard six
applications of poison, respectively.
1t was soon evident that this poi
soning was eXerting decided control
on the weevils, as the Weovil ,nfes-
tation was considerably reduced in
the poisoned plats and these plats
continued blooming muck ia5er in
the season than did the adjoining, I'M
poisoned ones. When the cotton was
picked from these pllts rather sur
prising results were secured Every
poisoned plat yielded more than the
untreated checks, but The mose pro-
nounced feature was the must great
er increase in yield with the larger
number of poisonings. With four ap-
plications gain of about Is aer cent
was secured; with five applications
this gain was increased to about SIS
per cent, while with SIX applications
it was increased about 70 per cent.
In other words a single extra :.rpli-
cation over four more than doubled
the gain, while two extra applica-
tons over four increased the gain
between four and five fold. AS all
applications were started at the same
time and the extra treatments con-
sisted simply of continuation that
much later in the season, this seem
ed to point out very significantly the
Importance of late-season applica-
tions.

drive the poison into the terminal
bud which forms the'tip of the young
cotton plant and which is the favor
lite weevil food before squares are
formed. AS mentioned, howev-
er, the results were, generally speak
ing, very dubious and gave no appar-
ent reason for hope for the success
full poisoning of the weevil.
The Water Drinking Habit of the
Weevil and its Bearing on Poi
soning
During the seasons of 1913 and
1914 the writer conducted a number
of biological investigations on the
boil weevil from which an intima
ton was obtained of the possibility
of utilizing certain newly discovered
features in an attempt to poison the
weevil 1t seemed quite obvious thai
there was no hope of successfully
poisoning weevils if full dependence
were placed on the amount of poi
son they would secure in the course
of their feeding. These studies, how
ever demonstrated very clearly the
Importance of water to the
continued existence of the weevil
1t was found that under cage con-
ditions they drank water very regu-
larly and it seemed reasonable to
assume that under field conditions
they would secure this apparently es-
sential moisture by drinking from the
rain or dew collected in droplets on
the leaves of the cotton plants. With
this idea in view, the writer decided
to conduct experiments in which the
attempt would be made - poison the

Early Attempts at Poisoning The
Weevil

EARLY Attempts at reasoning Inc
Weevil
Practically since the advent of the
Mexican cotton-boll weevil innum-
cradle attempts have been made to
control this pest by the use of poi
sons. The results, however, were al
ways discouraging. The best that
could be secured apparently was a
very slight degree of control which
would seldom pay for the expense of
treatment. AS a result it was gener-
ally conceded that the weevil could
not be poisoned properly under cot
ton field conditions. This was attrib-
uted to the fact that the weevil
derived its feed from deep punctures
which it made into the cotton squares
and bolls, thus ingesting very little
of the external plant tissues upon
(which the poison would be found. o.
account of this feeding habit of the
weevil the idea prevailed that the on
ly possible method of poisoning
would be one which would distribute
the poison on the plant that small
amounts would be eaten during the
process of starting the puncture
Through the external tissues. For
this reason all experiments were aim
ed toward getting a poison which
could be driven inside the bracts sur
rounding the cotton square and on tc
the bud itself. In addition, a con-
siderable portion of the experiments
include principally treatments very
early in the season before the
squares appeared. At this stage of
growth the prime objective was to
