not when it ought to be hot, and yes
,erday that same fellow was bee1ins
about it being so hot that he thought
he simply couldn't stand it, as though
hot weather in June was not to be eX-
pected.
That seems to be the way with nu-
man nature. When it's hot we want
it cold, when it's cold we want it hot,
when it's wet we want it, dry and
when it's dry we want it wet.
Why will people worry and fret and
tune about things they can not con-
troll. We have to take the weather
as it comes, whether it suits us OF not
and in these days there is no excuse
for anybody to complain about the
weather being hot"

a.asseseaea was held with the college

ssaasssa>
II aaay be recalled that In 1915 the
Naasa et Trustees sent a commission
sa>s.aas the situation in Louisiana,
Nss&ssspai, and Aiahana, and as an
outcome OF this investigation a bulle-
TN was published in 1918. which with
sHyhe revssions has been printed ana
dsssrisused Oft and on ever since. The
Trussess have always had a very in
tense in,eres, in the boil weevil situa-
,sou and wanted the latest view held
by the college experts.
Des,,ite the fact that both the gov
ernmeat and the college have oeeh
sendiDout information through the
nress. county aents, specialists, bulle-
tins and circulars almost every Gag
for several months, the statements
MADE by the experts to the Board OF
Trustees last Tuesday are OF macn
nubs;e interest. In substance these
cc,,eee experts made the following
Z statements:
We believe that the value OF early
poisoning is greatly exaggerated. Such
is the testimony by the best expert
Yneoters in Alabama, Louisiona, Miss
iss;nni. Texas, and Oklahoma, which
states have been lonest infested with
the weevil. Reports are now being
received from farmers from all sec
lions of the state to the effect that
the weeyil has disappeared from
many Of their fields. Some of these
fields have been poisoned with calci-
unn arsenate dust, some with sweet
ened poison, and others not poisoned
at all. This emphasizes our oft re-
peated statements that early poison
ing is not a material factor in boil
weevh control.
The early weevils are but the skir-
Z rnishecs of the hordes OF over-win-

tered weevils that continue to come
from wipter-auarters from March tc
July. They keep coming out even
after the squares have begun to form.
Most Of these old wevils die natural
death before square formation begins.
Therefore, little is gained. and often
much lost thru neglect Of other farm
operaeions ,on account Of efforts tC
destroy these early weerils can be
killed by applications Of any kind %
arsenical poison, whether in liquid or
dust form This was demonstrated rs
far back as 1902.
The weevils want squares to feed on
and lay eggs in. There being no
squares early in the season. they con-
fine themselves TO the buds of the
yoln cotton plant and are practically
surface feders something like the po-
tato beetle or the cabbage worm,
only less so. Little injury is done
to the cotton plant from this feeding
on the bud.
If all the over-wjntered weevils
wcold come out at the same time, as
chickens come off the roost in the
morning, then we could TO doubt de-
stroy them with profit by early pois-
oning., But when we kill hundreds
Of weevils with one kind Of poison o.
another in early spring, thousands are
still in their winter-quarters ready 10
come out later. BY no manner OF
poisoning or other control measures
yet discovered can we Kill all the
weevils that are out, and the sur
vivors, together with those coming out

Of the squares and lay their eggs

effective poisonin method known is

miles east of Hawaii, and go miles
west of Los Angeles.
The seventy-two passengers and
crew of 145 took to the lifeboats about

sea. They were picked up by the
freighter West Faralon, which arrived
on the scene four hours and a half

The wireless call for help, sent out
brought four vessels hurrying to the
rescue. The United States army trans
port Thomas fastened under forced
draft toward the spot, and the Mat
son Navigation companys ship Enter
prise also crowded steam in an eff
fort to rescue the passengers and
crew. The private yacht Casania,
owned by Edward L. Doheny, Los An
geles oil magnate, heard the distress
signals before the West Faralon did,
but the latter vessel was only fifty
miles from the burning vessel, and

The West Faralon is shipping

Mustapha Renal signified his ap-
prevail of the pact, and his action as
sured it's approval by the nationalist
assembly, which trusts him implicitly.

convention. The Greeks have until
October % to withdraw their troops
from the region, or fifteen days after

PRESIDENT HARDING PLANS
A CURB ON TAXATION
Program to Keep Expenditures Within
Revenue Receipts-To Save
= Public $6OO,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Oct. 12.- President
Harding feels that the finances of the
government are in such shape as to
make unnecessary the imposition of
an additional tax to meet the require
mentS Of the next fiscal year. He
made it plain in talking with callers
that the administration will keep the
estimates for expenditures within the
estimated revenues although this
means a cut of something like $780,
100000 below the outlay required for
the current fiscal year.
The present income and other taxes
will remain as they are while the
government gets back on it's feet
financially. The program to be sub
mitted to congress at the coming ses-
sion will be confined so far as finan-
cial legislation goes to the routine
appropriation bills, carrying funds for
the forty-one departments and indie
dependent agencies for the fiscal year
beginning July 1.
Most of the money Is to be saved
in the War and Navy departments,
since it is there that very large part
of the public funds are spent. The
heads Of these departments are natur-
ally combating any reductions. They
insist that the present size of their
bureaus are too small to properly pro-
tect the country in case of an emer-
gency.

EUROPEAN WAR DEBTS STAND
to Economic Conference, but
Bars Cancellations.

Washington, Oct. II. - President
Harding made it known at the White
House after the cabinet meeting that
the question of American participation
in general European economic con-
ference, the purpose Of which would
be to take practical steps for the
financial rehabilitation of Europe, has
nothing whatever to do with the allies
war debts to the United States. While
the Harding administration may be
willing to send an official representa-
tive to such conference and assist
Europe to It's economic feet, 1t will
require a clear understanding in ad-
vance that the subject of war debts,
including all proposals for cancella-
ton or modification, shall be avoided.

NEW Commission
u. S. Tariff Board Is Invested
With Broad Authority.
COULD BAN ALL IMPORTATION
Body Will Sit as Court on Application
for CHARACTERIZATION Harding
Signs Order Giving Members
Board Powers.

Washington, Oct. IA. - President
Harding has signed an executive order
raising the U. S. tariff commission to
a position of authority and Importance
in the fixing of tariff rates approach
ing that which the interstate COM
merce commission occupies in the field
of railroad rate-making. His action
makes possible immediate steps for
the revision of the rates of the new
Fordney-McCumber tariff law to meet
many of the objections raised through
out the country when the bill was in
the senate, and to make them conform
more nearly to the Republican doc
trine of protection without being pro-
hibitive or unnecessarily exorbitant.
Tariff Commission Supreme.
The President by the terms of the
new law must make the final decision
as to the raising or lowering of I'M
port duties within the limit Of the 80
per cent fiexibility clause. But he
has turned over to the tariff commits
sion without delay or reservation the
authority to take the initial steps in
the procedure of revision and all of
the machinery including the power of
investigation and recommendation
upon which the final decision as to
rates will be based.
This executive order reads:
1T is ordered that all requests, ap-
plications or petitions for action or re-
lief under the provisions of sections
315, 316 and 81 of title Ill Of the
tariff act approved September q,
1922, shall be filed with or referred to
the U. S. tariff commission for con-
sideration and for such investigation
as shall be in accordance with law
and the public interest under rules
and regulations to be prescribed by
such commission"
Important Factor.
1t is plain that by turning over to
the tariff commission all of the ma
chinery for carrying out the purpose
of these sections, the President has
made that commission one of the most
important factors in government and
economic life of the nation.

1t is probable that the trouble will
