wEEvIL BEGINS ATTACK
Cotton Pest at Work In Every
Section Of Comfy.

00CAOu O1 VOuuty,
The boil weevil has attacked
the York cotton crop in earnest,
according to John r. Blair, com-
ty demonstration agent, who says
the pest is already at work in,
every section Of the county and
Is puncturing the squares ON the
more advanced cotton. 4
Only the advance guard of the
'weeviI reached. York county last
year and very little damage was
done to the cotton crop, which
caused q big number of farmers
Id reach the conclusion that the
pest would also do little harm to
the crop this year, but the pres
ence Of the weevil this early in
the season would seem to indi-
cate that it is more to be feared
than these farmers thought. .
At his Office in York a day or
two ago, Mr.. Blair, discussing the
situation, advocated energetic
measures to stem the weevil at
tack. He advised the farmers ndt
to underrate the weeyil menace
and not to wait until the pest had
gained headway before ,resorting
to methods of attack. The most
important step, just now, in his
opinion, was the gathering and
destroying of punctured squares,
aS the number of squares left in
the field will determine the size
of the next generation of the
weevil. /
Mr.. Blair thinks the extent Of
the damage done by the weevil
in York county this year will de-
pend upon the measures adopted
to stop its ravages and, to a lar
ger extent, weather conditions in
july and August. With an abund-
arce of dry weather and sun
shine during those months, the
pests activities can be curbed,
whereas much wet weather will
spell disaster. {

The Snow Angel of Shavano.

ShaVano, named Tor an Indian
chief, is one of the higher peaks
Jf the Continental Divide in Col
,rado. The summit of the peak
IS more than 14,OOO feet above
he sea and 1000 feet above Sal
.da valley in Colorado.
The Snow Angel, an appari-
1on that is caused by the winter
SHOWS packing deep into a hol-

stand on the mountain side with
ner face and arms raised toward
heaven in an attitude of prayer
or benediction. The long white
robe trails behind her, but shows
her feet in front. AS the feet are
Just at the finger line, the angel
appears to be standing on a rug
OF deep green.
Men who have climbed up to
the snow field say that the form
is more than mile long. 1t can
fe seen for 30 miles up and down
the valley. In the winter when
the mountain is covered with
snow the form is indistinct or
even invisible. But in April as
the snow on the sleeper slopes

and makes the outline clearer.
Then for one week in mid-June
the angel is perfect and wonder

and August it slowly melts, but
never wholly disappears.
