Of the farmers In the groups studied
have been making large profits during

The figures indicate chiefly:
That the farmers average return on
investment Increased from per cent
in 1913 to per cent in 1913.
That most of them are making less

above the things the farm furnishes

Shreveport, La. - The work of pick
ing cotton and cleaning up the fields
In the areas in Bossier parish that is
infested with the pink boil worm is
being retarded by lack of help, ac-
cording to a statement made by H.
c. Killender, federal supervisor of the
work. I'VE have but eighty or ninety
men at present, and we could use Ut
least $780," continued Mr.. Millender.
1T seems strange, too, that sufficient
help cannot be obtained, as we pay
81 per day for an eight-hour shift.
w. E. Anderson, chief entomogolist
of the state of Louisiana, was in
Shreveport to look over the situation.
He states that about another month
will be required tcolear up the stu
alton in Bossier parish, and about the
same length of time will be consumed
to pick the cotton and destroy the
stalks in the infested areas in Caddo
parish.
SIN the districts where the pink
boil worm has appeared" continued
Mr.. Anderson, the cotton is first pick
EIDE, then all the rubbish, stalks and
such things in the field is collected
and burnt. In order that nothing may
escape the ground isthen gone over by
hand, and every stick or sprig that
may serve to protect the pest is pick
ed upand destroyed. Even the bushes
and rank gras sis not suffered to con-
tinue In the field.
I'VE are extremely anxious to rush
the work Of gathering the cotton, and
placing the exterminating measures in
full Operation. as this is the time of
the year when the mothfy is laying
the eggs that will hatch out a crop
of worms next year. II we can get
all the staple gathered from the fields
and sent to the gin 1t will deprive
the moth fly of a suitable place In
which to lay her eggs.
"The place that is infected in Bos-
sier parish lisa spot near the Louisi-
ana Cotton OIL Mills, and the place
that has developed the worm in Caddo
parish Is In the vicinity OF the Hen
derson Cotton Oil Company's plant.
Both of these places have been plac-
ed in non-cotton producing areas. and
none of the staple will be allowed TO
be raised on this land for two years.
'"The infested area in Caddo parish
is much greater than in the adjoining
parish, and l am not certain that the
state relmburses the farmer who is
prevented from raising cotton on his
farm. II would be well for the peo-
pie in this eection. of the country to
bring the matter before the Legisla-
ture. About the matter Of payment
