Please give sketch of the life of
Bernard Shaw. What does the Cath
olc Church think of his writings?

George Bernard Shaw was born in
Dublin, July %, 1856. Some years
afterwards he went 10 London and has
been identified with England ever
since. He has written Il great many
books. plays and articles on a wide
variety of subjects. In 1898 he mar
l'ied Charlotte Frances Payne. His
writings are considered to contain
many sOcialistic teachings. He is,
perhaps, the greatest cynic Of our
time. The Church, however, has ex-
pressed no opinion on his writings.

disastrous. according to w. ID. Hunter.
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, who addressed the con-
ference Of cotton growers and others
held in New Orleans last week. The
worm makes an attack similar to that
of the weevil. The eggs are deposited
in squares and bollS where the young
is hatched and proceeds to destroy the
cotton. AS the season advances the
larva secretes itself in the cotton. Is
carried to the gin and then scattered.
Experiments have shown that the larva

into Mexico and thence into this
country.
What would the establishment Of
this pest in the United States mean?
There is no direct basis in this country
upon which to judge. said Mr.. Hunter.
but Il fairly accurate estimate can be
made by comparing damage done In
other countries. In India, where the
eradication of this pest has received
the attention of the British Govern
ment. the cotton crop was reduced
from II to 20 per cent. Their control
was made more effective than ours

In Brazil the government estimates
that the pink boil worm has reduced
cotton production by 30 per cent to GG
per cent in one -cotton-growing state.
In Hawaii. it took the boil worm just
five years to annihilate thu. cotton crop.
In Mexico. the pink boil worm has
been studied for two years. 1t was
| introduced there during 1911 and has
not vet reached its maximum damage.
In Il test conducted In Mexico by
American growers it was found that

HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN
WOODLANDS PROFITABLE

Washington, D. O.
A bulletin containing nu-
merous illustrations has been
prepared by forestry specialists
Of the U. s. Department of Agri-
culture for the benefit of south
ern farmers interested in making
their woodlands more profitable.
1t contains suggestions regarding
the marketing Of many kinds OF
logs, and calls attention to the
Importance of wise cutting. The
need of protecting seedlings in
woodlands is emphasized, and
the wasteful stripping Of land,
such as has laid bare SO many
slopes, is condemned. Photo
graphs show the evil results that
follow shortsighted practices.

poultry improvement throughout
the country is apparent from re-
ports received by the United

paign. Figures collected thus
far indicate that more poultry is
kept on farms in the United
States than all other live stock
combined, and that a greater
proportion of the poultry is of
pure blood than any other kind
Of live stock.
The records also refute the fire.

stock raisers take little interest
in feathered stock, leaving il
largely to the women.
