declare, was beyond question in the
high plateau region of Mexico or Cen
trail America. The records indicate
that the insect in all likelihood oc-
caSfoned the abandonment of cotton
growing in parts of Mexico and Cen
trail America.
Our agricultural authorities inform
us that since 1894 the boil weevil has
extended its range from 40 to 20 miles,
having made it's first appearance near
Brownsville, Texas, in 1892. During
the first ten years after its advent into
this country the annual rate of spread
was 5,640 square miles. Since 1901
the annual infested territory has aver
aged 26,SS0 square miles. In 1904, an
exceptional season, 81 500 square miles
became infested.
The weevil has periodic thirst and
apparently there is just one liquid that
appeals overwhelmingly to it's palate.
On the underside of cotton leaves, on
the midrib, or principal vein, and some
times on two other veins. can be found
little elongated depression which
usually looks sticky and frequently
holds drop of liquid. On the outside
of the squares at the base of each
bract or leaflet are other little cups,
and between the hact and the bud
itself are three more cups. At the
bottom of the flower cup still more of
these tiny vessels are found. They
are called nectar cups because they
exude a sweet liquid. This is the tip
pie that the boil weevil is drawn to.
The adult boil weevil is about one
fourth of an inch in length, but its
size depends upon the amount of food
that it contains while in the larvae
stage. The boil weevil passes the win
ter in the adult condition. In the
spring and throughout the fruiting
season of cotton the eggs are deposited
by the females in cavities formed by
eating into the fruit of the plant. An
egg matches under normal conditions
in about three days and the grub i'm
mediately begins to feed. In from
seven to twelve days the grub passes
into its pupal stage, corresponding to
the cocoon of butterflies and moths.
This stage lasts from three to five
days. Then the adult issues and In
about five days begins the production
of another generation. Males and
females are produced in about equal
numbers. The males feed upon the
squares and the bolls without moving
until the food begins to deteriorate.
The females refrain from depositing
eggs in squares visited by other
females AS many as fifteen larvae
have been found in single boil.
A conservative estimate of the
progeny of single pair Of weevils
during season. beginning on June 20
and extending to November 4, is H.
755, 1901
Government authorities have shown
that the boil weevil can be held greatly
in check by proper cultural processes
and also by the use of insecticides
which can be sprayed upon the plants
at certain stages of their growth. BY
the latter process the weevils drink
can be poisoned, and as 1t slakes its
thirst at least once every day its
doom can be sealed.

WILL JUDGE LINDSEY GO TO JAIL?

Two hundred and fifty days in Jail
for a principle. That is the penalty
that Judge Ben B. Lindsey, the IA
nous "kids' judge" of Denver, expects
to pay for holding inviolate the con-
tidence of small boy. The supreme
court of the state has ruled that he
must carry out the sentence. Judge
Lindsey has taken an appeal to the
United States Supreme court, but law
yers say there is no federal question
involved and they expect the Supreme
court to deny Jurisdiction.
The only alternative Is the pay
ment of fine of $500. Judge Lindsey
has fatty refused to pay this fine and
says that he will go to Jail for life
rather than do so. He maintains that
in spite of his conviction he is not
guilty Of contempt of court. Friends
have offered to pay the fine and costs
for him, and even the children have
offered to raise the money.

of wintering is Of interest. When full
| grown the larvae work their way into
the ground to depth ranging from
a quarter Of an inch to an inch and a
quarter. In the spring the worms ap-
pear, work their havoc and, after n
brief while, re-enter the earth. They
remain in the cocoon state for several
weeks, at the conclusion Of which they
emerge as moths, which, In their turn,
lay eggs and start again the evolu-
tional life Of the army worm. In the
period of its active career the army
worm can do deal of damage, and to
eradicate the pest 1t is essential to kill
the parent moths as we'll as to destroy
the worms themselves.
Luckily, the army worm has some
natural enemies, and among these the
sparrow is probably the most effective
because Of its numbers. The bluejay
comes next, and then follow the tachina
fly and certain variety of beetle.
These foes will not suffice to keep the
army worm within bounds when their
name is legion, and it is needful then
to resort to man-made expedients.
Trenching the fields, generous use
of Kerosene and ample spreading of
arsenical powders will aid in a crisis,
but clean cultural methods will do
much more toward eradicating the
alternating or slumbering pests. This
is to say, keep the edges of the fields
and the hedges of the gardens free
| from long grass and weeds, where the
larvae Turk; fall blowing will kill
those that have already entered the
ground for wintering. OF course these
efforts will not avail If = the parent
moths come from the South in the
springtime. We cannot expect to de-
tect the eggs and to destroy them be-
fore the worms are Matched out.
Just when the spindles of the world
are preparing to resume their prewar
activities, just when so many of the
nations are anxious to obtain more cot
ton fabrics, comes the unwelcome news
that the cotton boil weevil is up and
doing with increased energy. Again
we have the past mild winter to thank
in large part for this disturbing state
of affairs, very considerable per-
centage of the alternating weevils
having survived when with colder
weather they would have been in great
measure exterminated.
The experts tell us that the boil
weevil In a single year may occasion
a cotton loss of more than 100000
bales. and at prewa'r prices this would
.epresent a money sacrifice of quite
100000. Today. at the present
price Of cotton, the toll levied by these
insects would he equivalent to fully
100000. No wonder the United
States department of agriculture has
pronounced the boil weevil to be the
worst cotton pest In this country and,
probably, the most destructive cotton
insect in the world. This ravaging
creature apparently will not feed upon
any other plant-it just insists upon
eating the precious cotton boil.
Like many others of the consbicu-
ously injurious insects present in this
country the cotton boil weevil is not
a native OF the United States. Its

the Smithsonian institution In Wash

count of the field work of the last year

of the will of James Smithson (1765-
1920, who bequeathed in 1926 the sum
of $4,000 to the United States ''for
the increase and diffusion of knowl-
edge among men," Smithson was the
natural son of the duke of NOrthum-
berland and said that his bequest
would make his name better known
than his fathers. The income of the
Smithsonian is now about 100000
