MOI Afraid of the Weevil

This plantation will have 10 power
machines and 100 hand machines in
operation this year. They do not fig

OF their acreage unless the Weeyil i'll
Hesitation becomes heavy. asked Mr..
Fox if he was afraid the weevil would
put them out Of business. He said
he did not fear the boil weevil now,
for he believed from their experience
and from the observations he had
made elsewhere, that the weevil could
be successfully and economically con-
trolled by busting with calcium arse
nate.
At Rosedale, Miss. they visited the
Alexander Scott Plantation, where
last year 1000 acres were busted. NO
cost account was kept Of this work
and no checks were left, so they could
not state exactly the increase secur-
cd from dusting MIR. Scott expressed
himself SIS very well satisfied with the
results. and stated he would not grow
catton without busting any more than
he would conduct his business With
ont Insurance. He estimated his gain
last year on 400 acres that were busted
at so bales.
II should be remembered, however,
fiat in the Delta country of Missls-
eippi. tie conditions under which cot
ton is grown are very different from
what they are here. Their land IS
rich. has the ability to produce high
weld Of cotton under normal condl-
Sions. They do not use any fertilizer,
mud hence can afford TO spend from
81 90 to $1,000 per acre on busting
tbe cotton for the control of the boil
weevil; and if they make yieid OF
ona.haIf to tbree-fourths OF a bale per
acre. they make a profit.

Peggy was astounded at this bold
demand. And her indignation grew
as she thought how all winter long
she had fed these sparrows each day.
In cold and snow, in storm and bliz-
yards she had kept them plentifully
supplied with crumbs and scraps
from the family table and at times
when they had seemed especially
hungry she had even shared her own
meals with them. If 1t had not been
for her kindness and generosity

and they agreed to work by the old
time, but on the second day ! was
informed that they would only work
under the new time because they did
not like to work after what they
considered o'clock, even if they
did commence an hour later in the
morning, and also because when they
reached town at night they were an
hour behind the times. So they had
to wait from one to three hours each
morning for the dew to dry off so
the grain would do to handle, and
often would not be able to work
much before noon, and then, at 5
o'clock, l would have to stop and
take our harvest hands to town when
the sun was high in the heavens

cool enough to make rapid work

man who commenced his days work

sentative or of the domestic organization of the

must furnish proof of certain qualifications,
which will be investigated by examiners of the
civil service. In the grading of candidates,
business experience counts 80 per cent, educa-
ton, 20, and politics nothing

no doubt senator's and representatives will be

Futile Defense of the Kaiser.

DR.. Karl Helfferich, late chancellor of the
exchequer under William II of Germany, has
devoted himself to providing defense for his
imperial master, work that is interesting be-
cause Of the further light it sheds on the pecu-
liar workings Of the German mind. II am
thoroughly convinced" writes Dr. Heferich
that William II knew no higher goal than to
keep peace for the German people and the
world"
So the kaiser, to maintain peace, not only
consented but urged that Austria send an
utimatum to Serbia which he knew must be
followed by war, or by acknowledgement Of his
mighty power over all the politics of Europe.
In the days that interviewed between the MUIR
ders at Sarajevo on June 80 and the declaration
Of war on August !, the kaiser resoutey de-
clined to intervene for peace on terms other
than Germany should dictate. He would not
listen to the pleas of Sir Edwin Grey, who
sought to have the powers called together in
conference, as had been done at Algeciras, to
avert if possible the conflict Finally, on the
pretext that Germany had been attacked he
sent his troops across the border of Belgium in
violation of solemn treaty, aiming blow at
both France and England, deeming Russia, as
events proved, an enemy that might be over
looked for the moment
Every step taken by the German military
machine in that eventful month of July was
taken with the full knowledge and approval
Of the kaiser. He might have stopped the war;
and he did not. How empty this sounds:
From the moment when the seriousness of
the situation had come to his consciousness
he had implored and begged the king of Eng
land and the car to save the world from the
misfortune of war. He had to limit the pos
sibility Of putting. pressure upon Emperor
Francis Joseph. The kaiser had implored the
car up to the last moment to stop Russian
mobilization which would compel US to strike.
In other words, the kaiser impored the king
and the car to permit Austria to crush Serbia
because of crime committed on Austrian soil
If they would submit to his imperial will, he
would save the world again, as he had done at
Algeciras, accepting the tribute of concession
as he did then.
But the saber-rattng habit of his sudden
ness had menaced the world too long, and it
was time for the emperor Of Germany to show
his good faith by making concession. This he
would not do. He struck instead, deluged a
world in blood, and brought Fuin to Germany.
How futile it is to apologize for or defend a
despot who has wrecked his peoples hope by
a @nad action!

promptly be removed. Here the terror struck
and passed in the awinkling of an eye. While

into nothingness, and the inmates left in be-
wildered restitution. Mans uttermost effort

THE DOOM OF NEporIsM.

The enactment of an ant-nepotism law puts
upon the statute book of Nebraska another piece
of constructive legislation for which The Bee
feels that it may rghtfully claim the chief credit
The pernicious practice of making public Office
family snap has been decried by The Bee for
many years and the most fragrant abuses of it
have been pointed ont from time to time.
Three sessions ago, through Representative
Edward A. Smith, bill was presented along
lines advocated by The Bee to set limits on
the nepotism evil, but went upon the rocks OF
personal interest of prohteering relatives OF
public officials. The measure was rewritten and
perfected and again presented, this time through
DR.. Harry A. Foster, as member of the Doug
las delegation who has been ndefatigable in
pushing it. The bill also has the approval and
support of Governor McKelvie To soften the
blow the bill was amended to exclude from its
prohibition appointive Offices carrying salaries
under $500 year, and, as we understand it,
becomes law in this form.
Thus this principle becomes established as an
accepted rule in Nebraska and the undemocratc
notion that election to Office entities the wife,
children, sisters cousins and aunts to go on the
pay roll is definitely discredited and discarded
We have no apprehension over the exception
OF the lesser paid positions or of relatives who
happen now to be holding places, because it will
be only question of time, and of a very short
time, when this remnant OF nepotism will

Working Hours on the Farm.

To the Editor Of The Bee: I see
by your editorial, "Hours Of Work
on the Farm" that you, and no
doubt many others, can not under
stand why the farmers object to the
change in time. I believe most peo-
pie wish to be fair in their judg-
ment, and 1t is largely the inability
of each to understand the condi-
tions under which the other labors,
that causes our difference of opinion.
The time that the farmer slept
eight hours and worked the rest of
the twenty-four hours of the day is
past, and at present 95 per cent of
the farmers work just as regular
hours as the factory hands, COM
mencing promptly at o'clock and
stopping at s. If farmer does his
own work, he can, as you say. work
as many hours as he wishes. re-
gardless Of time. But all farmers
employ more or less help, especially
during haying and harvest. and
many hire all their labor, and this
labor insists on working regular
hours, Just as the city laborer does.
Now, so far as the corn crop is
concerned, the change in time would
make no difference excepting incon-
Venience. But When II comes 10 the
haying and the harvest, we are alb
solutely dependent upon the sun, as
nothing can be done until the dew
is dry. Often it is from 8 to 10
o'clock, old time, before work can
commence. and when you consider
that in Nebraska, haying commences
June l and, with the harvest, con-
tinues until September /, and that
the change in time causes the loss
of three hours in the morning, as re-
CARDS the amount Of work which
could he accomplished during that
time in saving crops, it will be seen
that this is a big handicap in these
times OF great need. In this locality,
standard old time is twenty three
minutes faster than sun time and
so the new time gives us a handicap
of one hour and twenty three
minutes
You might ask why not make
some arrangement with the help to
overcome this loss during harvest.
Last year I did make such an ar
rangement with my harvest hands

Spread of Silkmaking.

For centuries the Chinese had a
monopoly of silk making and jeal-
ously guarded the secret of its manu-

thence to Japan, where the industry
was established about the third CEN
fury of the present era. The art was
carried thence to India and finally
reached Europe.
