TO ExTERMlNATE CROP PESTS
Scientist Plans to Use Flame Throwers
and Other Methods to De
stroy Enemies.

In 1918 and 1919 the territory near
the delta OF the Rhone suffered greatly
from swarms of the Morocco cricket,
which multiplied so excessively as TO
be OF great injury to the crops. AZ
recent meeting of the French Academy
of Sciences a report was made BY NJ.
VayssIere on the use Of the "fiame
throwers," employed in the war for
throwing liquid fire. to exterminate
these pests. With an apparatus hold
ing about twelve liters Of petroleum an
extent of 200 square meters can be so
thoroughly swept with flames as TO kill
all the insects. Asphyxiating gases
had but little effect but applications
of powered chloroplcrin were much
more satisfactory. While vegetation
suffered somewhat the effects we're
only temporary. Lastly, III. Vayssiere
made use of poisoned bait with basis
OF arsenic like that employed In italy
and In the United States and obtained
good results. He proposes to utilize
all three methOds-hrst the flame
thr0wers to exterminate the hOrdes OF

use does not involve danger Of FIRE;

REV. E. K. COBBS MADE
 RECTOR EMERITUS OF | NASHVILLE CHURCH

Friends of Mrs. J. B. Danforth of Bir- mingham will be grieved to know of the continued illness of her brother, the Rev. E. E.. Cobbs, who was for many years rector of St. John's Episcopal Church in Montgomery but more re- gently rector of Christ Church in Nash vile.
 Last Sunday morning At Christ Church the senior warden. Charles $. Martin, officially reported the formal resignation of the rector because the continued seriousness of his condition made it impossible for him to resume his work. He had been i'll for many months and only few times since last April had he been able to be with his congregation.
 When the seriousness of his illness became known the ves,rv an wardens of Christ church unanimously voted him a monthly stipend with the title of rector emeritus as long as he lives When the letter of resignation was read to the congregation last Sunday, it is said to have presented one of the most moving scenes ever witnessed in Christ Church.
 While in Alabama MT. Cobbs was a leader in religious and civic work.

Lifting of Differential Through North Atlantic
 Ports Is Asked
sy A,,ooIated Pres,

St. Louis, April 20.-Resolutions urging that the United States shipping board equalize rates on all imports and exports were adopted here tonight at the convention of the Mississippi Val ley Association.
 The resolutions asked that the diff ferential on shipping through north Atlantic ports be lifted. They stated that under present rates some ship ments are allowed to pass through these ports 15 cents per 100 pounds cheaper than through the gulf gate ways.
 This differential, it was stated. di- verts many shipments to the Atlantic ports that under equal rights. would pass through the gulf ports.
 An increased percentage of ships also was requested from the shipping board. It was declared in resolutions that although 50 per cent of the coun- try's commerce is controlled in the Mississippi valley the board has as- signed only 1214 per cent of it's ton mage to the gulf gateways.
 The principal speaker at banquet tonight was Admiral Corderio Da Graca of the Brazilian navy. He ex- plained that his mission to this coun- try was to further trade relatio be- tween Brazil and the Mississippi val ley, and asserted 1t was the first for eign country to seek direct relations of this nature. He said these efforts probably would result in decrease ir the price of coffee
