INDUSTRIAL CLASSES

The meeting was in charge Of
the Industrial classes and Athe-
naeum hall with its exhibition of
hats and basketry bloomcd like
rose garden. Across the stage
front were hats that would be Il
credit to the importers, and the
fine arts of basketry were brought
out in floor lamps, baskets, jar
dinniercS, trays, bags etc. Quite in
keeping with the grown-ups' cxhl-
bit was the collection of dolls hats
made by the little folks in the
Achievement clubs, and the cul-
mary arts were not forgotten in an
appctizing array of cookery. The
work of the Industrial classes has
been closely allied with the Girls
Community league and students of
the various courses combined with
the Girls Scouts under the direct
ion of the Community League
leader, Miss Eleanor Jenckcs and
the Industrial committee in pre-
scnting the program. Mrs. Mac

Last year the ride was from
Camp Vail, N. j., to Washington,
ID. G., with the finish at the
Washington monument.
This year the riders will start
from Burlington on Monday, Oct.
16, and will end here the follow
ing Friday evening. Details of
the route to be followed will be
arranged by the judges later.
The reasons for bringing the
ride back to Vermont are num-
erous, but the principal one is
that the roads to be found in New
England are almost ideal for
horses. This is particularly true
of the roads in Vermont.
1t was decided to hold the ride
later than usual in October in or
der to insure cool weather. For
the test is primarily one for the
horses rather than the riders, and
it is desired to give them as COM
Portable weather in which to run
as possible.
The course last year was a par
ticularly hard one, so much so that
there was much satisfaction ex-
pressed by several men who rode
their horses over the long, s;1t
slippery course.
even before the ride was com
pleted, it was recognized that the
course would have to be over dirt
road srather than the hard, con-
crete and asphalt roads found
further South.
Great rivalry has developed, as
Il result of these rides, between
the supporters of various breeds
of horses, and the rivalry is par
ticularly keen between the sup
porters of the Arab horse and
those who favor the the thorough
bred.
Pure bred Arabs have won two
of the rides-Ramia in 1919 and
Crabbet in 1921 and Nile Denise, Il
grade thoroughbred, captured the
cup in 1920. 1t is probable this
year that more Morgan horses
than ever before will be entered
in the ride and as they will be
running in their own country
great things are expected of them.
There have been several chang
es in the rules this year, the most
important of which are the reduc-
tion of the weight each horse to
carry from 245 to 225 and the re-
duction of the maximum time in
which horse may cover the
daily run from ~ hours to II
hours. The minimum time for
covering the course remains un-
changed, nine hours The hors-
es will 90 60 miles a day for five
consecutive days.
The ride is for the American
Mounted Service cup. the Arab
an Horse club medal and $3.50
in cash prizes. This annual event
has attracted international atten-
ton since it was started in New
England four years ago, and the
sponsors say indications even at
this early date are that the entries
in the 1922 event will exceed in
quality and number the field of
the previous year. A similar ride
has been started in Colorado as a
result of the interest shcv~ by
Eastern horscmen in e. lance
horse riding.
The board of sponsors eft which
Wayne Dinsmore of Chicago is
chairman, includes the National
Stecplcchase and Hunt aSsocia-
ton, Of America, Morgan Horse
Club, United States Department
of Agriculture, American Re
mount Association, the Arabian

WHAT BOIL WEEVIL
MEANS TO COTTON

The number of overwintered boil
weevils this year is far greater thanl
usual, according to records on the EN-
efgence of the insect from nearly all
of the cotton states, accumulated by the
Delta laboratory of the bureau of en-
tomolOgy' of the L. S. department Of
agriculture, at Talulah, La. In many
districts where accurate counts have
been made, there are now as many
weevils in the fields as are ordinarily
present month later, when the first
summerbred brood has started to ap-
pear. With anything like normal wealth
er conditions this is going to mean a
tremendously rapid increase in the
'weevil damage, and it will have an i'm
portant bearing on the program to be
followed by those using calcium ar
senate for the control Of the weevil
Ordinarily the department recon-
mends starting poisoning when from
10 to ID per cent of the cotton squares
have been punctured by the weevil. As
a general rule this condition does not
arise until after the newly bred weevils
have started to emerge from the
squares. This year, however, many
fields have been found where there
are already sufficient weevis present
to destrdoy practically all squares as
fast as formed. In other words, such
cotton will never start blooming unless
the weevils are controlled, and from the
very outset 80 per cent or more of the
squares are punctured. 1t is necessary
to poison earlier than ever before.
Another very important effect of
this heavy infestation will be felt lat
er in the season. When the weevils first
emerge from Information they move
around very little as long as they can
find an ample supply of unpunctured
squares for their use, but just as soon as
the infestation becomes sufficiently
heavy to puncture practically all
squares these weevils start to move in
search of fresh pastures. In an ordinary
season this means that a farmer usual
| ly has only the weevils bred in his own
cotton to contend with until sometime
from the latter part of July to the end
of August, depending on the locality
Migration of weevils will probably
start several weeks earlier this yeal
than usual; and in addition to having
to control his own infestation earlier
| by poisoning, the planter can expect
that before the fruit set during the per
iod of protection has had time to ma
ture there will be an immigration OF
| weevils from imprisoned cotton.
Every day a large crop of new weev
lis will move into these poisoned fields
and it is going to take continuous
thorough poisoning to protect to matur
| ity the crop that has been allowed tt
set by the earlier applications.
