DESTROY THE BOIL wEEvIL

Clemson College. Dec. 22-To make
the cotton crop more certain and ia
make the weevil crop less certain for
1921. cotton growers should exert ev-
cry effort. even II other work must be
suspended to give right OF way. to
destroy millions Of wecvils just as
soon as possible after picking is finish
ed by cleaning up the old 1920 cotton
stalks and other trash around in the
field. This Is the advice Of the entom-
Ologists OF Clemson College.
Weevils are almost entirely depen-
dent upon cotton for feeding and
breeding. Afr the crop has matured,
the late growth Of squares (forms)
blooms and young bOils makes a
breeding place for the weevil. In old
infested fields II is a common sight to
find from one to six weevils on each
growing plant In the field. This
means that from 5000 to $4,000 weev-
lis per acre may be found Mt the time
Of the first killing frost. 1t il a we'll
established fact that weevils dcvel-
oping late I'm fall are those which are
most likely to pass the winter safely.
1t is therefore extremely important
that this late weevil development be
prevented as far as possible.
Most Of the weevils continue to feed
and breed as long as green cotton Is
to be found In fields. When the first
killing frost occurs. most weevils seek
protection from the cold by finding
shelter in any ind Of rubbish in or
around the cotton fields as q place in
which to pass the winter i'm the DOR
mant state. This dormant condition
is spoken OF as Information. Nor
mally. the weevils do not fly very far
from the cotton fields for Information.
Th emost favorable conditions for the
weevil to pass the winter successfully
are found i'm those fields in which the
cotton stalks. dead grass. weeds, fall
len leaves and other rubbish. COM
monty found i'm fields where no clean
ing up is done until spring planting
time. are allowed TO remain.
Experiments have shown that when
conditions have been made unfavor-
able by cleaning up the fields for the
Information, as low as fraction of
one per cent OF weevils succeeded in
passing the winter. while on the other
hand, where fields have been left
undisturbed during fall and winter, as
high as 40 to so per cent of weevils
passed the winter SUCCESSFULLY.
The earlier the stalks are destroy
ed and the fields cleaned by burning
or turning under all rubbish. cleaning
ditch banks and fence corners. dirty
orchards and pasture lots and waste
lands adjoining the cotton field. the
smaller the damage will be to the next
years crop.
VIII You choose to destroy tho
wcevils I'm the fall or have them de-
stroy your crop next season?

PUBLIC SWIMMING
BATHS IN PARIS

Paris, Dec. 2S.-The Paris Mu-
nicipal council has decided that public
swimming baths are not only neces-
sity but that they are likely to prove
a paying venture and has. asked the
city architects to prepare plans for
three baths 10 be erected in Paris
within is months. The only swimming
baths in Paris except for those moor
ed along the Seine banks which, al
though popular in the summer
months prove no attraction in WIN
ter ff
The probable cost Of each establish :.
ment is estimated AZ 5000. 900 francs.
Delegates from the municipal council
have been sent to Alsace to inspect
the baths there. The Paris baths are
to be modelled after those of stras-
bourg.

Berlin's Street Railways Lose Money

Berlin, Dec. l3.--Street railways in
Perrin have been operated at loss
Of 49,000,000 marks during the first
nine months OF municipal ownership,
and in spite of increased rates it is
estimated this loss will reach 60,000,-
900 marks before tie end OF the first
year. Fares already have been in
it is proposed to further increase them
to one mark
Increased wages and higher costs
for power arc given as the chief rea-
sOns for the large deficit.
Although employees have been CIV
en- several wage increases, demands
for more pay have been always pend
ing, with the threat Of strike if they
are not granted.
In view Of the financial situation
and ever-increasing wage demands ii
Eas been suggested that commit
tee be created to keep workmen in
formed about the operation and cost
Of the street railway system, in the
hope hat well-informed employees
will be more moderate Some OF
the supporters Of municipal plan is
being discredited By wcrkmen who
make unusual demands and threats
They also demand a more careful
check on the management OF the
street railways, particularly with re-
gard to expenditures.
