1t may be urged that the folks at

not, but the price of wheat regulates
the price Of the double porterhouse

herds plaid suit, of the suite with

The War Against the Boil weeviI.

The cotton boil weevil, known to
the North generally only as something
which with unfaillng regularity for
many years has had an item devoted
to it in agricultural appropriation
bills, Is really pest which has ma
terially reduced successive cotton
crops and proportionately increased
the price of cotton fabrics, an increase
which users have Of course paid.
Two Senators, experts in cotton
growing. recently announced the good
news that an Agricultural Depart
ment experiment station in Tallulah,
La, has after eight or ten years
work produced poison which"
wrote a planter described by Senator
RANsDELL as general manager of the
largest cotton plantation in the world,
will control the weevll at a cost
which is not prohibitlve."
Senator HARRISON of Mississippi
said that two managers of large cot
ton plantations had written to him
that they were carried away" with

The High Cos. OF Being a Sport.

Word comes from Saratoga that the
speculation, both at the racetrack and
in those houses where men gather at
night to watch the spinning Of a ball
or the withdrawal Of a card from a
silver box, is the heaviest in the Spas
history. The astonished watchers
seem to forget that the cost of taking
q chance-that is, the money cost
rises as other luxuries and necessities
rise in price.
To illustrate the economic force
which compels the burdened gambler
to increase his stakes, cast the mem
DRY back to Saratoga in 1899 and pick
out a race which looked like a soft
spot. Here it is: the United States
Hotel Stakes, with Kinley Mack at 1
to ., and nothing much to beat ex-
cept Satlrlst and Queen of Song. To
win the price Of bushel of wheat,
the genuine standard of value, the
Spectator had TO bet only S1.40. as
wheat was selling that summer at
20 cents. But what were the condi-
lions facing the same Spectator II
he was alive and in Saratoga and
looking for a good bet last Saturday,
twenty years after Kinley Mack's VIC
tory? They were appalling. True,
there was another soft spot for a
wager, with 1 to 2 quoted against
Man O. War in the Grand Union
Hotel Stakes, but to win his bushel
OF wheat the player was obliged TO
risk $4.52, or twice the 1925 guar
nnteed by the Government to the
farmer! The relation Of $140 to
$452 is, approximately, as is to 3.
So, when a gentleman at Saratoga
this summer is observed to bet $780,
600 on a race 1t should be no more
alarming to the student of economics,
than n wager Of $4,000 would have
been in the days when SPENCER (not
HERBERT, but HARRY and BURNS were
the heroes of the paddock.
AS on the track. so it is in the
gambling house. The high cost OF
living has not changed the roulette
wheel, which still preserves its per,
'centage Of five and five-nineteenth>
against the punter; nor has it at
fected the freedom of the ace in the
faro box to lose ten times running
