EIectrocuting the Boil Weevil.
From the Fl. Worth (Tex.) Record.


The wonders of electricity are being I'M
folded to men little by little. Hundreds, per-
haps thousands, are studying the possibilities
in this lightning man has chained and every
little while some new outlet for this construct
i've and destructive energy is announced.
A former student of the University of
Texas has invented a method to eleCtrOcute
the cotton boil weevil and the pink boil
worm He is said to have demonstrated its
practical use in his cotton fields for several
years and being assured that it is a success
he is preparing to market it so that others
may avail themselves of his invention and
destroy the pests that have caused such
heavy losses to the cotton growers.
Economy is practced by carrying the outfit
on regular cotton cultivator and operating
it while the cultivator is blowing the field
The outfit includes small gasoline engine
a generator and electrical apparatus to con-
duct the electrical current OF several volts
through a series of "feelers" to the ground
and to the cotton stalk
1t is claimed the electricity kills all eggs
larva and pupa OF the weevil thus saving the
growing crop and in time will mean the de
struction of the pest because no boil weevils
will be able to reach maturity. 1t does not
destroy the parent weevil, because that rest
less insect flies away, but it can do no harm
if the further reproduction OF its species is
prevented
Efforts have been made to destroy the boil
weevil and the boil worm with, poison spray
ed on the plants and various other methods
have been suggested and tried. The federal
government has a destroying poison, the
formula for which has been offered to all
who will use it. But none has proved effective
to prevent the spread of the pest If electrici-
ty can be applied to destroy the next genera
ton before it is Matched the purpose sought
will be accomplished and within few years
it may be possible to drive the boil weevil
and the pink boil worm from the cotton fields

CURRENT COMMENT.

Omaha Bee: As a spectacle of what some
men and women will do for money the di-
vorce court has no equals Almost greater
even than the tragedy of broken home, the
wreckng of the children's IDEAL is the utter
abandonment of all finer feelings in the gross
desire for more dollars per month on the part
Of the wife and the husbands efforts, no
less keen, to keep her from getting few
more paltry silver pieces. Devoid Of consid-
Grafton each for the other, forgetful not only
Of "love's young dream" but sacred vows
taken at the marriage altar, are they. Init
mate details of marital life, narration OF which
has no place in a public court room, are barred
before the most nondescrpt assemblage.
Surely this is crucihxion sensitive wo-
man would scarcely survive, or any self re-
specting man have part in-except tor
money.

TREASURY SURPLUS.

President Hardings ideal OF more bust
ness in government and less government in
business has been brought nearer realiza-
ton, as far as the first part of that program
is concerned, by the work of General Charles
G.. Dawes, who has just relinquished his posi-
ton as first director of the federal budget
bureau to return to his private business.
The fiscal year in government affairs closes
Tune 30th For the first time in several years
the treasury department has been able to re-
port surplus. While the surplus is not con-
siderable it indicates better financing, which
is probably due in a large measure to the
adoption of the budget system. To the budget
system is to be credited several results. First,
and probably the most important is the
check which the system provides upon gov
ornamental expenditures, OutgO is not allowed
to exceed income With this determined there
is opportunity for nicer calculation concern
ing public indebtedness. AS Indebtedness is
decreased interest charges are lessened. De-
crease in both principal and interest is graft
Tying alike to officials of the treasury depart
ment and to the public.
The full import of the treasury surplus,
however, is not fully understood until the
total income and expenditure OF the govern
ment are taken into consideration. Both
have been less than during the year ending
June go 1921, but income has not shrunk so
much as outgo has decreased. The surplus
for 1922 therefore stands for that rigid
economy" which President Harding promis-
ed when he assumed Office.
Governor Hardwick is making an earnest
effort to put the fiscal affairs of Georgia also
on sounder basis, and the people of the
state will be disappointed if he is not given
aid and encouragement by the general as
sembly. Administration of the business af-
fairs OF Georgia needs reformation as badly
as did that OF the national government.

A Warning to the Meddlers.

cambridge Post-Searchlight: Those Wash
ington women who are worrying about the
condition OF the women in Georgia will do
well to keep their hands out OF it il they want
any change in the laws. The very reason that
the legislature did not pass the woman suf-
frage bill was because a bunch OF out-state
women were NEEDING in it~Let our women
ask for what they want and they will get it,
but when they let Susie Highbrow. from
Bawston, do their asking they won't get it.
Georgia is opposed to centralized government
There are about four-hfths of the folks who
live in Washington anyway that look on
states as colonies and they are darn near
right. Outsiders meddling in Georgia never
did accomplish anything

Worthy of Consideration.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The charge that the Ford propaganda is
"a hollow promise" fraud" and "bribe Of
sympathy for the farmers" and that the Ford
efforts in this matter are false, unfair and
unreliable" will meet with consideration in
view Of the fact that Fords biographer, who
allowed to state that the manufacturer had
turned over to the government $29,0000O0 in
war profits, presumably earned on war sup
plies That statement was given circulation
without any public protest or correction from
Henry Ford until the demand of Secretary
Mellon, after considerable delay, drew from
the manufacturer letter disclaiming respon-
sbility for the statement But even then, so
far as we are informed, Mr.. Ford did not in
sert a correction in the book

Sometimes voters question the sincerity OF
party leaders when they expound political

derwood is beyond suspicion. He is opposed
to any kind of tariff on steel and iron, and
owns interests in the great iron and steel
industries of the Birmingham, Ala, district.
He ought to be the next president OF the

A WARNING TO PARENTS.

From the Sioux Falls Argus.
A 16-year-old girl in Hazard, KY, killed

matter of her love affair If things go on
that way fathers will have to wear armor
plate suits and hold a couple of revolvers a
la Bill Hart before they dare talk to their
children about what is best for them.
