BOIL WEEVIL LOSES GROUND
Second Year In History of Insect That
There Has Been Reduction In
Infested Territory.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Due to the hard winter of 1917-1S
the boil weevil lost ground in his con-
quest of the cotton belt last year. This
is exceptional in the history of the
weevil, in that it is the second year
since the establishment of this insect
in the United States that there has
been net reduction in territory in
tested by this pest.
This does not mean that the move
ment of the boil weevil has been per-
manently stopped. In fact, the net
loss of territory for the wear was but
fraction of the ross at the begin
ming of 1913. Much of the lost ter
ritory was regained by the weevil later
In the year.
The losses in territory occurred in
Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Ala
bama The weevil gained territory In
Florida. South Carolina, Georgia, and
New Mexico. This is the first report

QUAINT OLD FINNISH TOWN
Everything in Borga Seems to Go
Back to About the Earliest
Period of History.

The first glimpse of Borga from the
water is a cluster of old wooden build
ings carelesSly assembled along the
skyline. You gather that the town is
red, owing TO the bulky, crimson-paint-
ed packhouses In the foreground, but
upon climbing up the steep. cObhle-
stoned street to the town. you change
your mind. and decide that ii is going
to be yellow. For all the funny, old
fashioned houses are painted that
color. A little farther on, however, Ii
comes upon you suddenly that Borga
possesses color scheme-that all the
red and yellow Is just background
for the splendid, solemn grayness OF
its ancient cathedral, which complete
ly dominates the town from the depths
of a walled courtyard of the type that
was popular in the early fifteenth cen
fury.
Borga began about thirteen hundred
and something and must have reached
its height about the seventeenth cen
turyS for 1t contains very little Of a
later date than that. The cathedral
contains nothing more modern than an
organ. for example. Its white and
gold pulpit was carved In the sixteenth
century, and its wall sconces and won
derful crystal chandeliers are CEN
turtles old. Other Finnish towns have
replaced their marvellous chandeliers
with less beautiful but more practical
fixtures Of the current century, but
BOrga proudly upholds the past. The
BOrga cathedral still measures time by
means of quaint old hourglass filed
with sand.
1t was In this cathedral that the en-
peror of Russia, Alexander I, received
the oaths Of allegiance of the newly
conquered Films, few days after he
had signed the constitution which gave
them their freedom. The house In
which the constitution was signed--a
modest. little, frame structure with
old-fashioned, blue-painted blinds-is
also pointed out with reverence to the
traveller, and If you are duly sympa-
thetic. the Borgans will then lead you
up to the site of an old fortress re-
ported to date back to an obscure
period. even before the cathedral.
when the Films were heathens. 1t
must be admitted that this site is any
thing but impressive now. There are
some peculiar bitches. which, one is
assured, are meats, and several barb
wire fences which are supposed to in
battlements. Nevertheless, the place
must have atmosphere. If you can only
find it, for it was here that Walter
Runeberg, the great Finnish poet, used
to find the inspiration for so many Of
his splendid songs.

after they have been mixed is added
q quart of common salt, the whole
being stirred until the salt has been

castings can be made as bright as new

Altogether the weevil invaded only
1900 square miles Of new territory

Soil erosion, or the washing away
of earth by water, costs the farmers
of the United States $1,000,000 every
year. Soil losses from this cause oc-
cur In every state of the Union and
In almost every county of every state.
Nine years ago the National Conserva-
tion congress reported that 100000
acres of farm land had been practi-
cally ruined by soil erosion. SO seri-
GUS is the condition that DR.. N. 8,
Shaler, formerly dean of the Law
renee Scientific school. was once
moved to remark that "If mankind
cannot devise and enforce ways of
dealing with the earth which will pre-
serve this source of life, we must look
forward to the time-remote it may
be, yet clearly DISQUALIFICATION our
kind, having wasted it's greatest in
heritance. will fade from the earth
because of the ruin it has accom-.
plished."
Ruins Fertile Land.
Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile lands In number of ways
The upper and most fertile parts of
the soil are washed away until the
land becomes barren and unproduc-
tive. Deep gullies are formed which
result In an actual loss of land for
cultivation, a lowering of the water
table and a deficient supply of mois-
ture. Drainage bitches are often filled
up with sand, which frequently re-
suits in the flooding of the adjoining
bottom land and the destruction of
crops. Rich bottom lands are often
covered with deposits Of sand WASHED
from the hill lands. Hence the direct
losses of the upland farmer are the
land occupied by gullies, smaller crop
yields each year, and continued de-
crease in the value of the land. Some
of the losses of the bottom farmer are
the land covered to a great depth with
sand, crops damaged by Overf1ows or
deposits Of sand, continued decrease
in the value of the land, and the
money invested in the construction Of
drainage bitches that have been filed
or partly filled with sand. Thus 1t is
apparent that both the bottom and the
upland farmer should be concerned in

Protection Of Vegetation.

Vegetation covering the surface OF
the ground protects the soil from the
direct action Of the rain and checks
the flow of the water over the surface,
giving the soil better opportunity to
absorb the water. 1t Is therefore i'm
portant that some kind of cover crop,
such as vetch, clover, oats, wheat or
rye, be grown on the land during the
winter or at any time that the land
Is not used for other crops.
Contour blowing, which consists of
breaking the ground along level lines
across the slopes, reduces the flow of
water directly down the slope. Also
in planting and cultiyating the crops
the same level lines are followed so
that a shallow trough Is made ABOVE
each row. Most Of the rain water is
caught and held in this trough until
1t either evaporates or is absorbed by
the soil. Contour blowing should In
variably be practiced on all hill lands.
The beginning Of great many gullies
Is due to the practice Of blowing and
cultivating directly up and down the
slopes.

Methods of Preventing Erosion.

the adoption OF effectlve measures Tor
stopping erosion.
Methods Of Preventing Erosion.
Since erosion Is due largely to the
rapid movement of the rain water over
the surface of the ground, methods OF
preventing erosion must cause the wa
ter either to sink into the soil or flow
away slowly over the surface to a
drainage channel. If the rain water
were absorbed by the soil as fast as
1t falls, there would be very little
erosion.
In order to drink up surface water
rapidly a soil must be very permeable,
which means that it must contain fair
ly large open spaces through which the
rain water can pass easily, or where
1t can be stored temporarily. Some
soils are naturally very permeable. A
number of ways of increasing the
permeability of soil are deep plow-
ing, blowing under organic matter
such as manure, stubble, stalks and
cover crops; the practice of tile drain
age, and, in certain soils, the use OF
explosives.
