WEEYIL IS HEAVY,
 GOVT. TEST SHOWS HEAVIEST SINCE 1916
Actual Count of Weevils per Plant Made in Louisiana by Federal
 Farm Forces.
(By the Associated Pressl

Washington, July 9.-How heavy is
 the weevil infestation this year IS a question received from farmers from all portions of the cotton belt early each summer and is naturally one of considerable interest to all men con- neeted with the cotton industry Con- sequently, for a number of years back the delta laboratory of the bureau of entomology of the United States de partment of agriculture at TalluDah, La, has been conducting a series of observations which afford fair de- gree of comparison of the infestations developing each season. This consists of series of surveys made on 12 plantations in Madison, Parish, La, the same points being taken each year. A specified number of plants are ex- amined at each point under observa- tion and the number of weevils found is noted.
 In the course of this survey, which is usually made about the first week of June, something over 100000 plants are examined each year and from these is computed the ratio of cotton per weevil. The following table gives the records from 1915 to date: 1915, TT plants per weevil; 1916, 100; 1917, 5,525; 1918, Al; 1919, 245; 1920, 221; 1921, 152.
 It will be noted from this that the infestation for the present year is the heaviest which has been experienced in any of the seasons on which the de partment has record, except that of 1916; and is very nearly as heavy as 1t was that year. In addition, hiber- nation cage tests have been conducted as usual and show very high per~ centage of survival this season. Furthermore, the department is now receiving reports from it's men from practically all portions of the cotton belt and 1t is quite obvious that there is an unusually severe infestation in nearly all portions of the south.
 These comments, of course, apply only to the infestation of hibernated weevlls, and this infestation does not necessarily determine the degree of damage which will be experienced throughout the season, because wealth CT conditions may operate to offset this heavy initial infestation and thus reduce the damage later. However, it means simply this: If the injury by the weevil is to be no more than nor nal, the weather must be abnormally unfavorable to the weevil and abnoral ly favorable to the cotton plant. Thus the chances are against the farmer at the outset.

BIG COTTON ROLLS.

Boil weevils so far have failed to locate the "easy picking" they would find in the field of John Hale on the
 Stonewall Anderson place one mile west of Conway. Hale has six acres of cotton of the Mebane variety, and six bolls which he displayed today at the Log Cabin Democrat office indi- cate the prospect he has for a big crop. The samples are not above the average for the field, Hale said, and few weevils are to be found on them.

VETERANS MISUSE
 BENEFITS, CHARGE
(By the Associated Press)

Indianapolis, Ind, July 9.-Nation- al headquarters of the American Lc- zion has taken steps to prevent mis- usC of government benefits for ex- service men, according to a state rent made today by Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant.
 "It has been brought to our atten- tion that a few men have deliberate ly falsified claims for compensation, vocational training and medical treat ment, said MT. Boles. Considering the large number of wounded veter- ans who are entitled to every benefit the government can give, the number of imposters is not large. But, few as they are, their action works a hardship on the disabled.
 "Cases of deception have been more numerous lately, due to the rush of claims, following the Legion's fight for government efficiency. However, the legion will find time and means to expose any imposters who come to us for assistance in pressing their claims
 All legion posts have been instruct ed to furnish government bureaus with information they obtain about men concerning whose disability any doubt exists. The post activities in favor of the genuinely disabled will continue.

New York, Mar 16.- Take the

hidden eyes to make them larger

This is the advice of a woman
attorney, Mrs. Clarice Margolies
Baright, stirred to wrath by re-
cent court ruling.
Said ruling being:
"a wife's place at night is in her
home, by her husband. - BY Ma
gistrate Frank x. McQuade, in
Jefferson Market court.
And the ruling resulted from
charges of disorderly conduct pre-
ferred by a woman against the
husband who. followed her to her
mothers home, where she had,
gone to pass the night, and drag
ged her home.
Perfectly right" said the judge.
"a wife's place Is in her home
with her husband. Just as his is,
too. She has no right to go away
for the night without telling him
where she is going. Nor has he,
for that matter
"The defendant was justified"

Baright comments:
