EDGAR S. PAXSON, THE SCOUT
WHO WAS A PAINTER
g, Western Newspaper

Col. Edgar s. PaXSOn was a scout
who became a painter. He worked
for 20 years on one painting before
1t was completed, and when the old
scouts masterpiece was done. 1t was
declared to be the most accurate pic
ture OF Clusters last battle ever
painted. 1t made Paxson famous
PaNSon was a New Yorker who
went to Montana in the early seven.
ties. He became a cowpuncher, a
hunter and trapper. When Chief Jo-
scph led his Nez Perce warriors on
their 1.0O0-mile dash for freedom In
1877, PaXson enlisted rs scout with
the United States troops and served
with them until Chief Joseph was cor
nered In the Bear Paw mountains and
surrendered to General Miles.
After the Nez Perce war was over,
Paxson returned to Deer Lodge,
Mont, and opened a studio. He had
always wanted to paint pictures and
he took for his subjects the things
he knew best - cowboys, Indians,
hunters and trappers. Then he con-
ceived the idea Of a painting of the
greatest Indian battle in American
history-Custer's last fight with the
Sioux and Cheyennes on the Little
Big Horn.
For years Paxson gathered infor.
nation about the battle. He went over
the battlefield again and again until
he was familiar with every foot Of 1t !;
he talked with Indians who had fought
against Custer, and he sought officers
and men who had served with Reno
and Benteen to get their stories Of
the fight. He learned everything he
could Of the position Of every man In
the Seventh cavalry on that fateful
day In June 1875.
PaxsOn was engaged seven years
In the actual painting Of the picture.
His work was interrupted during this
time by his service In Cuba during
the Spanish-American war and in the
Philippines. After the war was over
he returned to his work and the pic
ture was completed.
In this painting Paxson showed the
figures of more than 200 soldiers, In
dians and scouts. 1t contained the
portraits OF 38 members Of Clusters
command painted from photographs.
Every detail Of the battle was shown
historically accurate, so far as II is
possible to know how Custer and his
men perished. The painting has been
on exhibition In the largest cities Of
the United States and 1t now hangs
In the library of the Montana State
university at Missoula. II Is valued
at $4,000.
In 1878 PaxSon laid down the
scouts rife to take up the painters
brusS. orty-one years later he laid
down the brush. Colonel Paxson died
In Missoula. November q. 1919.

TALKING TO THE BUCKEYES

In an address before the Ohio
State bar association Hon. Joe Il.
Robinson, United States Senator from
Arkansas. gave the Buckeye lawyers
some very plain and needed talk along
lines that should be brought to the at
tentlon of Northern lawyers and lay
men.
Referring to the anti-lynching bill
he said that no progress would be
made in overcoming the mob spirit
by enactment of unreasonable or Un-
constitutional statutes, for such eff
forts in the end must meet with fail
ure. Since no federal law, constitu-
tionally enacted, can apply to the
usual cause of iYnching. the remedy
lies in state au.t"rity through awak-
enin2 III the public conscience great
er respect for law and confidence in
the courts"
Referring to pr hibition he said the
law must be enforced. Good CITIZENS
can not in honor respect and ob.ervn
.aniy such laws as they approve and
connive at statutes which they regard
as doubtful or unwise policy. This
would accomplish the triumph of an
archy over the just, the establishment
of lawlessness and terror in place of
justice and security.

that she was to plunge England into

MORE COTTON THAN EVER,
THOUGH WEEVILS INCREASE

successful cotton grower before the
boil weevil menaced him.
Mistaken Ideas Prevail in Southeast
1t is mistaken idea that the wee
vii has revolutionized cotton plant
ing and cultivation methods in
stance that the plants must be
sparsely spaced so that the sun can
reach every :iber of every plant; that
seed have to be treated 'and medi-
Gated; that the stalks have to be burn
ed or buried Immediately following
the last picking; that certain grade
of fertilizer must be used; that a
flock of fowls must be kept on every
cotton field and so on.
+ All of that is rubbish and tom
foolery as proven in Texas.
1t would help to burn the stalks
after the harvest, possibly, but it
would not keep down the weevils-
and in Georgia and the Carolinas it
is impracticablc.
l find sore f;rmrrs do so in Tex
as; others do not. Other conditions
being equal See no differen e in re-
suits.
That the boil weevil is here, and
here to stay, and that farmers must
not get the impression that after
three or four years he moves on, leav-
ing the path behind him practically
immune from further attack.
l know there is widespread i'm
preston in Georgia today that the
boil weevil has spent his day in Tex
as, as an illustration. That he passed
on to Louisiana, and into the Missis-
sippi delta, and into Alabama, and
within the last three or four years in
to big part of cotton growing Geor-
gia; and that he will in due course
leave Georgia, and pass on to green
fields and new pastures.
In the name Of sound, comon sense
dispel that thought!
1t will cost Georgia $5O,OOO,OOO in
1922 if such thought is allowed to
prevail.
More Weevils in Texas Than Ever
One pair of weevlls have an aver

feed upon before he can affect pro-
duction provided the farmer pushes
his cotton by intense cultivation and
high fertilization.
That Is common sense and sounds
reasonable.
Infestation below 10 per cent,
therefore, will do no production dam
age, as shown by my Texas investiga-
tions.
Above that, war upon him with the
calcium arsenate, but do it right
/ shall explain in detail how the
successful cotton farmer in the south
west does it-without worrying and
with only nominal expense-in a sub
sequent article.
One thing must always be carried
in mind, and that is that complete boil
weevil control does not make cotton.
This brings me to another point ]

e of 12.ooo,ooo offsprinss every

age of 12,oOo,ooo offsprings every
year.
There are more weevils in Texas
today, hundred times over, than
there were in 1907 and 1908 when
the cotton farmers were terror-strick-
en- by the swarms of newly recognize
ed pests.
Weevils did more damage in Texas
i n1921 among those good-for-noth-
ing, improvident so-called farmers
who were too lazy to fight them, or
too mutton-headded to listen to or
understand reason, than ever before
in the history of weevil infestitation.
The state entomologist at this
place, whose duty it is to keep the
records will bear out that statement.
At the end of the year 1920 nearly
$500 square miles of territory had
been infested by the boil weevil.
Ninety per cent. of the cotton belt
is today thus infested; and 95 per
cent. of the American grown cotton
is grown in infested areas
1t is true, however, that cold re-
tards his progress and freeze kills
him, just as dry heat kills him.
If it were not for the indirect
agencies of control supplied by ma
ture, as, for instance, several kinds of
insect parasites that feed upon him,
the red ant to illustrate, the whole at
mosphere of the cotton belt would be
so contested with boil weevils in the
summer that one could not live nor
, even breathe.
Let's apply common sense to study
ing this problem, and to meeting it.
The fact remains that, despite all
the natural agencies that effect weev-
il mortality, when pair of them mul.
tiply at the rate of 100000 year,
they are here and here to stay for
ever, ever increasing in numbers.
They arc costing the cotton grow
ers of the whole belt today around
$3O0,OOO,O00 annually, despite the
successful methods practiced in the
southwest for growing cotton in spite
of him.
There is no time to temporize with
foolish ideas, or new experiments, OF
