periods as may be designated by the
federal horticultural board, and full
compensation to planters within the
non-cotton zones for whatever finan-
cial damage Or loss they may sus-
tain by reason Of the prohibition
Steps were taken to raise a fund Of
$225, 900 or $350,000 for this COM
pensation. The resolutions adopted
concluded with the recommendation
that all citizens of the state of
Louisiana be urged to support the
movement to avert disaster to the
cotton producing industry of the
state and of the SOUTH" ..
Legislation Necessary
A telegram, in which the governor
and the governor-elect Joined with
the president Of the Louisiana divi-
sion of the American Cotton. asso-
citation, was sent to all members of
the state legislature asking them to
indicate as soon as possible whether
their support can be relied upon for
such legislation as is necessary for
pink boil worm eradication. This
legislation will include a bale tax
OF so cents on the basis of aver
age production for the past five years
or other adequate means to raise
money for the compensation of
planters in the non-cotton zones.
The pink boil worm is now known
to be present in three parishes of
Louisiana-Cameron, Calcasieu. and
jeff Davis, all of them nj the south
western corner Of the state THE
officials of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture entertain no
doubt that they will have the full,
cooperation of the state of HouisiA
ana in eradicating the pest from
these parishes and anywhere else
that it may be discovered in that
state. If similar cooperation can be
secured on the part of Texas, the diff
ficulties that now appear will be
greatly reduced.
States to Establish Quarantine
On the day prior to the New Or
leans conference, official representa-
ttves of practically all the cotton
growing states met in Vicksburg,
Miss, and agreed that they would
promptly establish state quarantines
against Texas and Louisiana, prohib-
iting the shipment of both lint and
seed from those states into other
cotton-growing territory until all
possible precautions are taken to
guard the cotton Industry against
the menace. The department Of ag.
riculture will probably find it neces-
sary to establish such federal quar-
antines as will complete the safe

/ II. NJ. w, waycross, Ga, writes: I
wish to know which is the best kind of
cotton to plant on low, flat land, and
would also like for you to tell me the best
method of planting and cultivating the
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1920-03-30

for covering your manures with soil
as promptly as possible is always
good practice.
e. L. G., Garfield, Ga. writes: What
will be the best fertilizer and how much
per acre for Spanish peanuts? 1 have red
pebble land with q clay subsof. How
many peanuts will 1t take to plant an
acre?
The peanut is a legume and should
as a rule not require fertilizer con-
tanning any nitrogen. This should
certainly be true in the case of red
pebbly land such as you describe,
which is presumably what is known
technically as the Triton sandy loan
and constitutes one of the best soils
in the southern part of the state. On
land of this character we would ap1
ply from 100 to 200 pounds of crush
ed raw lime rock per acre before
planting the peanuts. This should
be put on the land after the ground
has been plowed and narrowed and
prepared Cor planting. Allow it to
stand for a few days after being
narrowed in.
Fertil'ze your peanuts at the time
of planting say with 800 pounds of
acid phosphate, or some other car
rier which contains an equivalent
amount Of available plant food. It
is desirable under ordinary cireum-
stances, to use some potash as we'll.
Potash, however, will presumably be
rather scarce this year and high in
price, but we think an application
of some carrier Of this element that
will provide your land with Is to 25
pounds of available potash per acre
will be desirable.
About two bushels of un-hulled
seed, Or one-half bushel of hulled
peanuts is required to plant an acre
of land.

LOUISIANA OPENS BIG ATTACK ON
PINK BOIL WORM OF COTTON

Louisiana is going into the fight
for the eradication of the pink boil

MAYOR HOFF CLIPS OFF
THREE OFFICIAL HEADS
Asks for the designations Of Police Officers Hill
lier and Buck and Water Supt. Holmes
Action Was Unexpected.

the Examiner has no word OF criti-
cism to make. Mr.. Nye has had
considerable experiences as deputy
sheriff and IL familiar with the du-
ties OF a police officer. However.
Mr.. Nye has accepted the appoint
ment conditionally, and that ia. II
he can secure n competent man to
take charge OF his harness ahop. In
the event that he cannot do this. Mr..
Nye informed the Examiner that he
would resign as chief OF poiIcs.
Regarding tho appointment Of Mr..
George and Mr.. Nelson. II Ia extreme
iy doubtful II they can hold the po-
eltions on account OF tho Idaho nep-
otism law. which prohibits blood
relatives OF couneilmen from being
appointed TO any position. As the
city clerks records show that the
vote on the confirmation OF Nelson
and George was unanimous. Il lndi-
Gates that councilman George and
Nelson consented TO tho appointment
OF blood relatives aa officers 10 re-
coive pay. They did this doubtless
not thinking Of the law on this point.
Tho nepotism law has been upheld
by the Idaho supreme court. The Law
on this question. aa found on page
~ Of the complied statutes OF Idaho,

Montpelier awoke yesterday morn
ing to the fact that Il had y new po-
lice force and a new superintendent
of water works. The change was
made at meeting OF the city coun-
ell held Wednesday night when the
Mayors guiilotine clipped Off the Of
ficial heads OF Chief Of Police Hill
lier. Night Policeman Buck aud Wat
er Superintendent Holmes.
The action was taken by the May
or and council sitting In executive
session. After open session was re-
sumed, the mayor was asked for his
reasons for making the changes. I'VE
had several reasons" no said, "but
l do not consider Il necessary 10 state
them. except that Il may be stated
that the changes were made for the
good OF the city"
The mayor announced the new APP
pointments, as follows:
Chief OF Poiice--w. G. Nye.
Night Police--Wm. George,
supt. OF Water works--Nolan
Nelson
These appointemcnts. together
those OF E. @. Brown as chief OF the
fire depai tment and VIM. Chugg, az
sexton OF the cemetery. we're confirm
ed by the council. The resignation
OF A. u. Thiel. as fire chief. was ac-
cepted several weeks ago and he was
given q hearty vote Of thanks for
his efficient services by the council.
MIR. Chugg was named sexton OF
the cemetery to succeed Ernest Bias
or who resigned on tho first OF jan
uary.
The change In the other three Of.
flces came as a surprise 10 the peo-
pie OF the city In general, as they had
no intimation that these Officers
were not discharglng their respective
duties In satisfactory manner.
Officers Hitler and Buck have
served the city for tho past. five
years. and we state. without fear OF
contradiction. that during that time
Montpelier has been as well poIiced
as any town In tho state Of Idaho
II Is true. laws and ordinances have
been violated during that time. but
In most cases the violators have been
brought to justice. Granting that
these officers have been negligent
In their duties In some cases. II must
be admitted that no two men Twins
could have filled these two positions
satisfactory to everybody.
j. II. Holmes has served ~ super.
intendent OF the water works for
nine years. during which time the
system has been gradually extended
and Mr.. Holmes labored dlllgenti,
to keep the systsm In good working
order.

LET'S HAVE A RACE MEET
-IN-MoNTPBffER- -FH4s- -xEAR

In talking with the Examiner rep
resentative last Tuesday. Les Strong
expressed the belief that a success
full race meet could be pulled off In
Montpelier next summer. 1t has
been four years since we have had a
meet here and he feels that the peo-
|ple are telling just about right to n
Joy four days OF good racing about
the first or middle of August f--EeB
sussested that a--ifvsstuciJ show
could be held in connection with the
races It would prove to be a good
attraction and would bring hundreds
of people to the city.
The secretaries OF the fair and
race associations OF Logan, Black
foot, Idaho Falls, Rexburg and pos
sibly several other towns will meet
some time next month to arrange the
dates for races this season in their
respective towns, and Les says that
he would like to be able to attend the
meeting and arrange for Montpelier
to get in the circuit this year.
The Examiner would like to see
good race meet held here this year,
and suggests that the Boosters club
take the matter up at the next meet
ing. A committee from the club
could be appointed to investigate the
proposition and see what could be
done towards raising funds with
which to make up a portion of the
purses for the races. and premiums
for the stock show. Such an event
would help to keep Montpelier on the
map and that is what makes towns
grow and prosper-doing things tba,
make people come to them and talk
about them.
Let's have race meet.

TEACHERS INTERESTED IN
WELFARE OF SCHOOLS

Considerable has been said from
the side lines regarding the condi-
tions In our schools. the demand for
teachers and the dissatisfaction of
those who continue in the service
here, etc. But the board and those
OF the teachers who are loyal and
personally interested I'm the welfare
OF the system have had little or moth
ing to say In defense OF the executive
or teaching corps.
! am reasonably sure that there
are no teachers in the force now who
haven't keen interest in the future
Of the Montpelier schools and the
children involved.
They are loyal to and have impIic-
II confidence in the present executive
body and there are none that would
not make a personal sacrifice IL nee
essary to further the advancement
and raise the standard Of the school
system Of the city generally.
The things which are mysteries to
the teachers are these: The means
by which the schools are maintained
are raised through taxation and a
number Of our citizens (many OF
whom have children in schooI) are
opposed to any move for improve.
