PINK BOIL WORM
IS BEING FOUGHT
fsy The Associated Press).

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Plans for
carrying on a war OF determination
against the pink boil worm were dis
cussed here today at a conference be-
tween representatives from every cotton
growing state and the department of
agriculture A committee of two from
each state was named TO draw up cam
pign to be presented at a session OF the
conference tomorrow.
Texas has failed to provide adequte
measures for combining the pest within
areas discovered in the state, Chairman
Marlat of the Federal Horticultural
Board told the conference. Unless Texas
was willing to cooperate fully with the
other states, he added, the latter would
be compelled to employ measures tn
protect themselves through quarantine.
Delegates from Texas disagreed with
some of the criticisms, contending that
the question was a national one and
that responsibility for the entrance of
the pink boil worm from Mexico lay
with the federal government, not with
Texas. The federal government had con-
troll of the border. they added.
The danger spot now lies in the in
festation in the Ell Paso district CT
Texas. Chairman MarIat said, adding
that it is his opinion the only way to
stamp it out, was to create a non-cotton
zone. Representative Dudspeth of Texas.
said sthe problem, required the coopera-
ton of Mexico and that creation of a
non cotton zona along the Amrican side
of the border would be useless in stamp

similar non cotton zone On her side OF

COTTON MART UP
AT new ORLEANS
Covering of Short Interest Causes
Small Stimulation in
Prices.

NEW ORLEANS, May 1.-THE
small advances that persisted in the
cotton market today were mainly due
to covering of the short interest, al
though there was small buying for
long account on continued unsatis-
factory weather over the belt and on
rumors that new proposal for ending
the coal strike in England was about
to be submitted to the coal mine own
ers and miners. Liverpool came in
better than due after the Whitsuntide
holidays in that market, which helped
the opening here but after advances
of IA points the upward movemen
was checked and during the remainder
Of the session the market made small
Says and recoveries and finally closed
one to - points UP on the day. July
traded up to 1859 and closed at 1853.
While the weather map did not show
much rain over the cotton region, tenn
peratures were too low in nearly all
sections of the belt and the barometeE
lines formed a threatening storm area
TO the northwest of the belt which
caused many traders to fear more
rain.
Reports from the interior concern
ing the crop were highly unfavorable,
telling of poor stands and much re-
planting necessary. In some portions
of the belt, it is claimed that the
acreage is suffering further reductions
because when farmers replant they
do not replant the full original acre
age of the season. Such claims had
their effect on sentiment. Steadiness
on the close was due to expectations
of unfavorab1e weekly crop reports
from the government tomorrow.

FIGURES
HIT BY WEATHER
Favorable Industrial Reports Exert
Encouraging Influence.

NEW YORK, May 17.-The cotton
market was quiet today but showed a
generally steady tone owing to unsat-
isfactory growing conditions in the
south. July contracts ranged from
1894 to 1906 and closed at 1901, COM
pared with 1887 at the close of yes
terday. The general market closed
steady at a net advance of II to 10
points. Although fourteen more no
tees were issued May was relatively
firm late in the day selling UP to 1888
or 20 points net higher.
Private advices from Liverpool re-
ported poor trade demand but quo
tations there were fully up to expec-
tations, and Liverpool was a consider
able buyer of July here during the
early trading. This demand helped the
early advance, and after opening to 9
points higher active months soon
showed net gains of some 16 to 10
points as compared with last nights
closing figures. Reports that London
was hopeful of an early settlement of
the coal strike also of an early agree
ment on allied policy in the matter of
Silesia had an encouraging influence
but the unfavorable weather was the
factor most generally discussed on the
upturn.
Temperatures were said to be too
low in practically all sections of the
belt for the best development of the
plant while rains or showers We're re-
ported east of the river where dry
weather is believed to be urgently
needed. These advices tended to con-
firm expectations of a bullish weekly
report from the weather bureau to-
morrow and it was pointed out around
the ring that the government canvas
for the end of May condition figures
would occur on Wednesday of next
week.
Even with favorable conditions from
now on the trade looks for a low re-
port compared with the ten year aver
age if not in comparison with last
years condition of 62.4 which was the
lowest on record. There was some
trade buying early but it was not
greatly in evidence and trading was
very quiet during the afternoon with
the steadiness of prices emphasizing
the scarcity of offerings.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Today's OPP

nerfunctory and dull. Dealings were
lighter in volume and narrower OF

The listless movement was accom-
nanied by conflicting advices and de-

sole impetus from the professional
element Meagre public participation
seemed restricted to the selling side
of the account.

Chautauqua, Chicago. Illinois,
Dear Mr. Cottrell: You are right,
some one it seems has to be the
goat" and it strikes me that the
women of this city have been cit" for
a number of years. Do you suppose
for a moment that all the work | did
to get the Chautauqua for next year
was for any personal gain? You
were put on notice long before the
hundred names were getten that the
women were going to expect 1917 and
they are justly entitled to same from
the fact that you could not get the
work done that they do, for any less.
1t looks to me that your company IS
short-sighted in not seeing this, for
to leave the women pleased means
the success of the Chautauqua every
season. Who is going to do all the
collecting and ticket selling other
wise? If your company does not
desire to comply with the contract
and wants to camel, it will be perfee-
ly satisfactory.
One of the head ladies at the hos
pltal told me the other day they never
intended to do another minutes work
for you unless you appreciated it
enough to allow them something for
same and she thought 1919 was little
enough. So do |.
I candidly believe that 9Of( If
those whom l got to'sign the contract

their interests, and | am satisfied
that they will be stuck" for their

to do with it, for my efforts do Mt

Dear Mr.. Lanier: | thought posi-

you again.
| have written the ocice fof The
other names to the contract. You
will admit, Mr.. Lanier, that none
of the other ninety-nine guarantors
knew that you were going to pull this
fiat clause when they were asked to
sign the contract and that all of them
signed in good faith and that Mr.
Perkins, Mr.. Everett and myself
started out to work and so advised
all those whom we solicited in good
faith that when we had 100 guaran-
tors that the Chautauqua would be
assured.
Now are we doing that? Is some
one not going to be the goat? WILL
not some of these people some time
question why Chautauqua did not
come? VIII they get the answer
that entirely Independent of 90 that
one man insisted on rewriting the
contract IN such way lhaC no
square organization could do business
with all people and treat them so
widely different?
Mr.. Lanier, please give us chance
! to meet our contract as we planned
| it and as we so advised the people we
would do. Either go \on and asso-
ciate yourself with these other good
people on this contract or notify us
that you have withdrawn your IN
reasonable clause, and if you can't
or won't do that, let US be advised
that you withdraw the clause, and if
we can get the other one to make
one hundred without you; we may
do so and you WE'LL neither talk nor
write, nor act in any way to hinder
Chautauqua when it comes next
| summer.
Now you will admit this is emf
nently fair and reasonable, and !
think that it will appeal to you and
you will decide to stay with us and
let us bring this big program to the
multitudes of your city that viii
otherwise be denied such instruction
and entertainment. Most cordially
yours. HARVEY COTTRILLI.
