NEWLY ELECTED EDITOR
HAS LONG EXPERIENCE

BOSTON. Mass. Feb. 1S.-Willis ].
Abbot, newly elected editor of the
Christian Science Monitor at the con-
clusion of difficulties over control of
the Christian Science periodicals, is
an American newspaper man of long
experience.
Active in national politics and prom
inent~as writer from Washington on
political topics, he is also a member of
the Authors league of America. Patri-
otto themes have largely interested him
as an author.
It is thirty years ago this year that
the Monitors new editor first came
into prominence in the newspaper
world as managing editor Of the old
Chicago Times. Going to New York
few years later, he served for various
periods as writing editor OF the New
York Journal chief editorial writer of
the New York American, and writing
editor of the New York Sun. Recently
he has been staff correspondent for
one of the national weelxlies.
Taking an active interest in politics,
Mr.. Abbot In 1898 directed as chairman
the Henry George campaign committee
in New York, and was manager of the
democratic national press bureau in
the presidential campaigns of 1900 and
1908.

WEEVlL POISONING
MATERIALS SCARCE
Bumper Crop of These Pests Ex-
pected, So Get Your busting
Machine Early.
(By q. r. coAp.)

A rather peculiar situation has de-
veloped which promises disappoint-
ment to many cotton farmers who
wish to poison the weevil this year
II some steps are not taken to remedy
at. For the past several years various
machine manufacturers have been
taking up the production of cotton
busting machinery and have turned
out limited numbers for the trade
which developed. However they have
always bean confronted with the fact
that many farmers would defer pur-
chasing busting materials in some vain
hope that the weevils were not to be
abundant until so late that it was i'm
possible to secure deliveries in time
for best results. During the past sew
eral months we have been canvassing
the results the farmers secured last
year. and find too frequent repetition
of statement to the effect that the
machines were delayed in shipment
and did not reach them until a few
days or a few weeks later than the
time they were really needed. and
consequently poisoning became more
/ expensive and less successful 1t is
now quite obvious that the spring OF
1922 is going to see an abnormally
heavy emergence of weevils, and while
this may be somewhat offset by sum-
mer weather conditions. there is no
excuse for delay in securing equip
ment II you are going to poison the
weevils this year. Furthermore, the
manufacturers have no means of an
ticipating Just what the demand is
going to be and naturally do not feel
justified in building large number
of machines on gamble. The conse-
quence is that the machine production
will probably more or less keep pace
with visible business and there is little
prospect of a surplus of machines be-
ing prepared and thus placed at the
disposal of those suddenly deciding to
poison at the last moment. Our advice
| is, decide now whether or not you are
going to prepare to poison. and If you
decide to do so, Immediately make ar
rangements for your supply of dust
| ing materials. The price of the various
machines has already been announced
for the year. The various one-mule
machines are all between 800 and
SIPS, while the two-mule machines
practically all range between $3.50 and
$500. These prices are fairly reason
BILE in proportion to the present value
of cotton, and there is little likelihood
! of reduction. Certainly not sufficient
probability to warrant delaying the
purchase Of equipment.
Considering all features of the sit
uation, we feel that we can not too
strongly urge either the purchase of
material now or the decision to not at
tempt poisoning this year.

CATTLE TICK IS
MENACE TO STATE
Florida Dairy Association Unanimous
ly Agree to Eradicate This Pest.

Dairymen who attended the Florida
Dairy association meetings in Tampa
on February 7th and Sth agreed that
the cattle fever tick is the greatest
menace to the dairy industry in the
quarantined Florida counties, and they
unanimously adopted the following
resolution

Resolved, That the Florida Dairy
association recommends enactment of
a state law providing that any COM

POULTRY RAISERS
In EAST COMPETE
Egg-Iaying and Breeding Contest Is
Being Conducted by New York
Agricultural Institute.

FARMINGDALE, N. Y, Feb. b.
The exclusive young flapper section at
the State Institute of Applied Agri-
culture was all aflutter with excite
ment today. There was much artful
cooking of heads and proceeding of the
feathers. For in some way the news
had gotten about that before nightfall
all the good flappers, just budding into
henhood, were to get beautiful young
husbands, with delightful backgrounds
of wealth and social position.
The fact. savoring of Asia, that the
brides-to-be had never seen their fu-
ture husbands didn't seem TO bother
the flappers. Nor did the fact that
each was to share her husband with
10 others. Monogamy still is unknown
in the world of White Leghorns, Rhode
Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks.
Today's weddings mark the second
stage of three-year egg laying and

MODERATE GAINS
IN COTTON MARKET
Low Prices During Opening Session Are
Followed by High Prices
on Closing.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 19-Low price
this week in the cotton market were
made on the opening session while the
high prices were made on the closing
session. From the lowest to the highest,
taking the whole list into consideration,
there was rise of "a to 81 points. Gains
were moderate but well sustained. At
the highest the active positions were So
to 100 points over the close of the proceed
ing week while at the lowest they were
10 to SO over. Closing prices showed net
gains of 20 to 104 poines. March traded
up to 1897 and closed at 1s.e3. In the
spot department prices gained so points
on middling. which closed at 1915 cents
pound against 1915 on the close of the
same week last year.
A better feeling in the spot depart
ment more demand and smaller offering,
helped contract values considerably. On
top of this were the unfavorable weather
conditions over the belt which, in many
sections. prevent preparations for the new
crop SO that some portions of the belt
went to claiming that new crop work
from two to three weeks late. Drought
was complained of in northern and west
ern counties of Texas and in parts Of
Oklahoma, but excessive moisture was
the main complaint in central and east
ern divisions of the belt. Points in South
Carolina wired in that next to no new
crop work had been done because of
persistent rains.
The week had no real reactions from
the advice, the closest approach to re-
action coming at about the middle when
western interests were supposed TO be
sellers because of their disappointment
over the attitude of President Harding
regarding bond issue to finance the
proposed soldiers bonus. New England
strike newsF was closely followed, but
while the strike spread according to union
plans at the first of the week it did not
cause any great amount of selling. Late
in the week private messages claimed
that the labor troubles were likely to be
settled before long and such predictions
were help to the market.
The approaching maturity of the March
position was matter of great interest
because of reports from the New York
market that tenders there would amount
ed to at least fifty thousand bales. Such
prospects. however, did not cause the
selling that in some situations probably
would be the case, because 1t was felt
that the spot interests would be eager
to take up the cotton. Tuesday is first
Thursday is first March notice day in
New York. There is still great uncer-
tainty over tenders here, little being
known regarding the intentions of the
owners of the local stock, OF which s6,3s5
bales are certifcated and ready to 60 on
contract.

zI0NISTS RESURRECT
OLD PLAN OF CANAL
Would Be ESQ Miles Long Through Pal
estine and Supplement TO the
Suex Canal.

JERUSALEM, Feb. 1s.-The Zionist
organization has resurrected the old
plan of constructing q 250-mile canal
through Palestine as a supplement to
the Suez canal. This project was first
brought out % years ago by the late
Duke of Sutherland, but was buried
unceremoniiousIy by Sultan Abdul Ha-
mid because Of his opposition to prog
ress.&
Traffic through the Suez canal has
become so congested these days that
J it is claimed the alternate canal route
is required Zionist leaders have be-
come convinced that the ever expand
ing trade relations between continental
Europe and the Far East have reached
such dimensions that canal in Pal
estine would fill an urgent need and
reap untold commercial benefits for
Palestine.
AS planned by r. A. Maier, of Hol-
land, its ardent supporter, the canal
would be divided into two sections. one
of which would extend from Haifa on
| the Mediterranean to Afuleh, on the
Lake of Liberals, or Sea of Galilee.
Then there would be an intervening
part to be formed by proposed Jor-
+, dan lake to extend from the Lake of
| Liberals toward the Dead Sea. This
would be filled with Mediterranean sea
water. Having crossed the Dead Sea,
| the canal would begin again at Ara
bah at the foot of the sea and extend to
| Akabah at the head of the Gulf of
| Akabah, giving access to the Red Sea.
| While the building of such a canal
would necessitate the submergence of
a considerable tract of fertile land as
4 well as q few towns and villages
| (along the Jordan, its champions
claim that its advantages would far
outbalance the loss.
| 1t Is claimed that the proposed Jor-
dan lake would increase the humidity
of all Palestine which now suffers
from excessive heat and dryfless, thus
Improving the climate as wen as the
vegetation. Also, it is asserted, the
Jordan valley and the desert lying to
the east with the prairies south of
Houran, owing to the increased area
of water, would become centers for
colonization and development.
Together with these climatic benefits
must be reckoned the commercial pos
sibilities in the scheme. Haifa might
become a second Port Said, touching
place to ships of all nations. Raw ma
