WORM DESTROYS COTTON

New Orleans, June 3.-[By The AS
ISOLATED Press. 1.-The pink boil worm,
more destructive to cotton than the
boil weevil, is to be steamed. Pois-
oning has failed to kill the pest but
it is expected that steaming will do
the job and make it possible for oil
mills to handle seed from infected
territory.
The decision was the outcome of
a conference here between superin-
tendents of cotton seed mills in
Louisiana and other places where
seed has been purchased from areas
known to be infected with the worm.

"If he takes such oath, the
judges have no further discre-
ton in the matter. They must
permit him to vote.
"If he has sworn falsely, he
can, Of course, be prosecuted.
There is no way Of preventing
