Dutton of Gainesville, Fla. but it is to
acquire large field for public play
ground, the impetus for the purchase of
the field being given by the liberal spirit
displayed by the donor of the town hall
and by her interest manifested in the old
town Under the spur Of that spirit, the
voters went into special meeting and
voted not merely TO purchase an en-
larged site for the proposed town hall
but to acquire several acres of land adj
joining, the latter to be devoted to use
as playground and baseball field. This
purchase of a playground was not ex.
travagance; it was an investment from
which the returns are likely to prove far
greater than any of the supporters Of
the movement anticipated when they adj
yoeated the move. The returns on the
investment will not come directly in dol
lars and cents, but they will come in a
better equipped physical life for the peo-
Pile of the community and, still more i'm
portant, in more contented spirit
among the young people who may have
become restless under the comparative
barrenness of home town attractions and
were making their plans to leave home
for some place with more spirit and more
attractions. A public playground and a
public baseball field will convey to the
minds Of the young people the idea that
their desires are not to be shunted off
under the pressure of the events Of a
workaday existence, that there is some,
thing to keep them in Townshend and
to encourage them to make that their
life residence. And when those young
people become contented, it is likely to
follow that others will be attracted to
the place as a center of better rounded
life. The growth and upbuilding Of
Townshend cannot be expected to be
very great but it can stand out in
marked contrast with the decline in
population and decadence in public life
in many other of the smaller communi-
ties of Vermont. If Somerset and few
similar decadent towns had had the bene-
fit of some attractions like public play
grounds, baseball fields and other fea-
lures of play life when those towns were
in the heyday OF their development there
might be different story to tell about
them at the present time. Investment in
public Fairgrounds, baseball fields and
the like is a splendid investment.

Our agricultural authorities inform
us that since 1894 the boil weevil has
extended its range from 40 to 20 miles,
having made its 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 26,8S0 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 its palate.
On the underside of cotton leaves on
the midrib, or principal vein, and some
| times on two other veins, can be founG
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 leafiet are other little cups,
and between the bract 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
This iS tho fin
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 tive
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 a single boil
conservative estimate of the
progeny of a single pair of weevils
during season. beginning on June 20
and extending to November 4, is r.
755, 100!
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 weevil's drink
can be poisoned, and as it Stakes its
thirst at least once every day it's
doom can be sealed
