WEEVILS LIVE IN ICE!

Yes, But it Doesn't Mean Anything
Clemson College,-Is it true that
the boil weevil has been placed be.
tween two blocks of ice and was alive
| after all the ice had melted? This is
a question asked frequently of Prof
A. f. Conradi, entomologist, and au-
thority on boil weevil matters. Prof
Conradi's answer to q recent inquirer
should be of interest and information
to all, as it throws real light on the
matter.
The Answer
That is very likely true. Another
fad is to bore hole in block of ice
in which boil weevil is then herm-
etically sealed for twenty-four hours.
Why should the experimenter be sur
prised that the beetle is still alive?
Melting ice has temperature of ap-
proximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit,
and boil weevil sealed within or be-
tween ice experiences no radiation or
evaporation and is therefore not in
the least affected by weather chan
ges.
Partridges, rabbits and other
small gamo frequently seek shelter
under the snow in cold winter wealth
cr. Ice floes and snow drifts are
not infrequently rcsorted to by man
in the North for temporary shelter
i'll cold stormy weather.
We have successfully kept weevils
and other insects in brine chambers
and ice boxes under dry atmospheric
conditions, but we have never sue
cecdcd in keeping them for prolong-
ed periods in ice boxes unprotected
against moisture. The weevil like
people, responds much more easily
to radical changes in cool weather
than to uniform conditions that OBJ
tain in an ice box.
No Practical Bearing on Weevil
Control
Putting the Weevil in block of
ice is more than twenty years old
1t was done in Texas when the weevil
first arrived, and as the weevl mi
grated eastward, this practice con-
tinued to be one of the fads in newly
infested territory year after year.
The test has no rratical value what
ever, as there is no semblance to
the natural. changeable conditions
that obtain in the open.

account of sickness in his family.
They are all improved at this time

that they will soon be out again.

this fashion the tendency Of the 49,
600 bills already introduced in con-
gress:
"Nobody escapes. Ev ,rything in
the moral, industrial and commercial
world is to be owned, operated, su-
pervised or censored, from the birth
OF a baby to the burial of corpse,
and the worst is not yet"
The passion for bureaucracy and
government regulations which began
under Roosevelt has now lost all sense
of restraints Outside Of Bolshevist
Russia the American people are the
most government ridden people in the
world, and every session Of Congress,
every session Of State Legislature,
marks an extension of the system.
Among the indictments against
George III in the Declaration of In
dependence was this: "IIc has erect
ed multitude of new Offices and
sent hither swarms Of officers to ha-
rass our people and eat out their
substance" If George III could see
the armies Of officers that the Amcri-
can people, under their own govern
ment, have allowed to be imposed up
on them, to haress them and eat out
their substance, he would be aston
ished at his own moderation. What
the father refused to endure the sons
submit to as meekly as flock of
sheep.
The American people are in process
of being governed to death as we'll
as taxed to death, in order to support
the armies of office-holders who have
undertaken to regulate them from the
cradle to the grave. What makes a
bad matter immeasurably worse, they
seem to have lost all their capacity
for resistance to the widening
rule of bureaucracy-New York

GOVERNED TO DEATH

| Protesting a few days ago against
the growth of bureaucracy and the
extension of Federal authority over
the lives of American citizens, SEN
ator Stanley Of Kentuckey said:
Every business man finds an in
spector at his elbow, Federal sleuth
at his heels. Houses are searched,
homes outraged and the public high
ways dappled in the blood of unof-
Tending citizens by a multitude of
agents and inspectors ignorant Of ard
indifferent to the law Of the land onl
the rights Of citizens"
Lest everybody think that Senator
Stanley, who is Democrat, has al
lowed his Jeffersonian theories of gov
erment to warp his Judgment it is
worth while to turn to the deliberately
expressed opinions of DR.. Nicholas
Butler, who is not only Republican,
but who is Unidentified with the con-
servative wing of his party.
In report to the trustees of Co.
lumbia University expressing his OBJ
jections to the proposed Federal bu-
reau for the supervision of education.
Dr.. Butler used language no less We
hement than that employed by the
Senator from Kentucky.
"In the United States we are, in
flat defiance of all our proclaimed
principles, building a series of bu-
reaucracies that will put to shame the
best efforts Of the government of the
Car Of all the Russias when in the
heyday of its glory. We are sur
rounded by agents, special agents, in
spectors and spies, and the people are
called upon to support through their
taxes, in harmful and un-American
activities whole armies of individuals
who should be engaged in productive
industry"
