THE BOIL WEEVIL MENACE

Senator Smith, of South Carolina, has
announced that he will urge that the
planting OF cotton be suspended for one
year as means of eradicating the boil
Weevil. The plan is drastic enough TO
dlrect attention to the fight being made
against the pest which, in the southern
states, 1t is estimated, does $4,000, 600
damage annually, but the plan has little
merit in other respects,
The boil weevil is moth that denosite
single egg in 500 or more cotton flowers
or bolls. The egg matches in a short time
ana the grub eats its way to the center of
the flower, causing it to fall from the
stalk. The grub moves to another bloom
before the flower falls and continues its
work OF destruction. Government expert
mental stations have been established
throughout the south to find a wav TO
combat the insect but so far no satisfac-
tory solution of the problem has been
found.
Some of the methods tried are interest
ing. Other plants are introduced into
flelds OF cotton in an effort to induce the
Weevil to change it's diet, natural enemies
are imported, and efforts are made 70
cultivate a plant which will be immun ~
from attack. Such cotton plant is grown
in South America. The flower grows
around the grub and kills it, curious
instance of the combative property of
plants. Poisons also are used in expert
ments. Eventually the inroads of the
pests will be checked and meantime wise
planters are depending upon other crops
and cooperating with government agents
In exhaustive experimentation.
The boil weevil is migratory insect
and is said to have made its way into this
country from Mexico. 1t does not survive
cold weather but in the summer has been
found as far north as Massachusetts, Per-
haps it spends the winter in Mexico and
the summer at Newport. It is imprac-
teal to prevent cotton growing all over

A LITTLE LAUGHTER


The return Of Paderewski to con-
cert work should have the hearty
approval Of former Premier Glenn
enceau. When the famous pianist
attended the peace conference on
behalf of Poland, the French pre-
mier greeted him as follows:
You are M. Paderewski the pi-
anist, are you not?"
Yes, NJ. Clemenceau."
And you have given up your po-
sition in the world of music to be-
come prime minister of Poland ?"
II have, M. Clemenceau."
What a come down,"-Ottawa

bandhoItz's appointment doubtless
would be popular.
The general is fifty-eight and a
graduate of West Point. He has
seen thirty-two years of service in
the army. He commanded various
units in the Spanish-American war
and the Philippine insurrection.
His record for service during the
instruction and the troublous
times following it is remarkable.
During the world war Bandholtz
served as provost marshal genera.
for the A. f. L. and later was a
member Of the inter-allied mission
to Hungary in 1919. In 1921 he
suppressed the West Virginia min
ers' instruction.

the world for a year, and if it were and
the situation were serious enough to war
rant such curtailment of industry, it is
probable that the insect would turn to
other foods and survive the year. Indeed
one specimen, struggled safely away in
sack of cotton seed, might defeat a pro-
gram which would cost millions of
dollars.

GRAIN


Chicago, Sept. lin response
to the strike settlement affecting
many railroads, wheat today went
to the lowest prices yet this season,
with December delivery down be-
low 81 a bushel. the first time in
1922. Closing quotations were un-
settled at q to / &c net decline,
December 80 &C to 99B C and May
$l.O4& to $l.04R q. Corn lost &c
to hc to x c. oats finished q shade
off to CSC up, and provisions varied
from &c decline to SC advance.
AS a rule wheat traders assumed
that resumption of work in rail-
road shops would bring about
material increase of the movement
of grain, although it might be
some weeks before the results
looked for were wholly achieved.
In addition to the strike settlement
news, a sharp break in foreign ex-
change rates together with a
downturn in prices for wheat at
Liverpool, had a bearish influence
here. 1t was also pointed out that
whereas primary receipts to date
are 100000 bushels smaller than
was VIC SdSe It year ago, tne VlSl Die
supply is only 100000 bushels
smaller, and that the worlds avail
able supply shows an increase of
5,S47,000 bushels.
Corn and oats averaged lower
with wheat. influenced mainly by
strike settlement DEVELOPMENTS,
