Dear Miss Brooks:

Dear Miss Brooks:
We are greatly interested in your
little corner, and would appreciate
very much an answer to this question.
There are three girls with whom we
have associated for years, and now
these girls have taken the habit Of
running away secretly, even if we
were at one of the girls homes. What
should we do? Thanking you in ad-
vance, We are,
A. B. AND D., Spanish Fork.
The girls probably intend their be-
havior to be taken as joke. but it is
certainly very rude If you show a
little indifference and do not call on
them quite so often they will probably
realize they are not doing as they
would like to be done by. If they still
continue to be SO impolite the only
thing to do is to leave them entirely
alone. Don't you think so!

HEAVY WEEYIL 1NFESTATION
PREDICTED

a heavy infestation of bollweevils
in the cotton belt this season IS IN
Dictated by observations made at the
Delta Laboratory, Tallulah. La,
where for a number of years the
Bureauoi Entomology, United States
Department of Agriculture, has been
making series Of studies each season
to serve as basis for predictions
regarding the severity of spring in
festations of the pest. The records
for 1922 have just been completed,
and comparison with similar rec.
ords for the last eight years points
to a heavier emergence of the
pest from winter quarters than IN
any previous season during that per-
iod.
Cotton farmers this year in de
Gliding upon where to reduce or in
crease their acreage are cautioned to
take into account this prospect of an
abundance of boil weeevils.
The number of boil weevils emer>
cling from Information each spring
depends on two things; the number
entering Information in the fall and
the percentage of these surviving.
Last fall the greater part of the
cotton belt saw conditions which per-
mitted an unusually large number of
weevils to enter Information. The
winter weather has generally been
abnormally mild to date and the US.
ual period of severe weather has
passed although there IS, OF course,
still bare chance of temperature
low enough to influence weevil sur
vival Because of this mild weather
high rate of wecvil survival was to
be expected. Recent records have
more than verified this expectation.
These records are made in number
of different ways but the most COM
parable criterion is the figure based

on the number of live wcevils found
alternating in Spanish moss in GER
tain selected localities in Louisiana
each year. Recently over 5000
pounds of Spanish moss from Is dif-
terent selected points representing
The different types Of alternating
conditions found in that district were
examined. This moss is carefully
examined and the number of weevils
both live and dead noted. From this
the ratio of both live and dead
veevils per ton of moss is computed,
and experience has shown that this
affords a very fair iadex 10 the
emergence which may be expect
ed.
There are far more live weevils
per ton Of moss in sight now than
at any time since these records were
started and only very few dead
weevils. Of course the records on
the presence Of dead weevils can not
be accepted as absolutely accurate
because it has been found that many
weevis fall out of the mess during
the winter and are thus lost. The
most striking feature, however, is
the fact that the records for this
year show more than five times as
many live weevils in Information as
in the highest preceding year since
1915. These records are checked IN
other ways, among the different
methods being series of cages To-
Gated near Tallulah, which are in.
stalled with a known number of
live weevils each fall, different types
of shelter provided and the survival
of wcevils in these Gags determined
in the spring. The laboratory has
just completed an examination of
this series of cages and finds that
these figures verify those quoted IN
the moss examinations, and show
the percentage of survival to date to
be much higher than in past years.

UNITED STATES FOREMOST

A recent address by Dr.
Thomas L. Read, OF the Federal
Bureau OF Mines, before the
School of Foreign Service OF
Georgetown University, gives us
much food for thought. The
real basis of power OF a nation,
said DIR. Read. is in its energy
resources, rather than its man
power strength. The modern
way to use the energy OF a man
is to employ it in a way similar TO
the little decorator of the big cN-
plosion shell; the little charge sets
off the big one and does an amount
Of work far i'll excess OF It's own
capacity" According to him, the
power resources OF country,
coal, petroleum, and water-power,
are the real sources OF strength III
an industrial civilization.
From statistics furnished 1t
would seem that no other country
in the world possesses even one
fiftietll part of the total energy re-
sources of the United States. II
is in evidence that many portions
OF the globe will never be able to
support all industrial civilization
of any size, simply because they
have not the adequate resources OF
energy.
1t is interesting to consider the
relation OF these industrial re-
sources to the character OF indus
trial development. For instance,
Japan has less than one-hundredtll
part OF the industrial resources OF
this country. This is d fixed and
absolute limitation OF the line OF
progress OF her industrial develop
ncnt. She can not use her energy
for. rough purposes. or perhaps
purposes OF vast bulk and proper
tons would be the better express
sion. She can weave silk or dec
crate porcelain or make thoSs
products which require a high dc
gree OF skill and relatively llttls
energy. But it is a waste OF lie'
power production 10 attempt Tux
former.
The United States is first ant
foremost i'll her possession o
coal, petroleum, and water-power
Strange as it may seem, Chm;
comes second; Germany, third
Canada. fourth: Great Britain
fifth; Australasia, sixth; an(
Russia, seventh.

these findings, it should be remem-
bered that while they mean very
abnormally heavy emergence Of over
w:ntered weeyils in the coming
spring, they do not necessarily mean
thai the weevil damage this season
will be unusually great since 1t is pos
sible that summer weather condi-
tons may be sufficiently unfavorable
to the weerils to offset this heavy,
early infestation, but the fact re-
mains that the farmers will start
the cotton crop under a tremendous
handicap and it is going to require
abnormal weather to prevent alb
normal weevil damage. No man IS
justified in gambling on such luck, it
is said, and the only sane course to
pursue is to anticipate year OF
great abundance Of boil weevi!s and
to make all plans accordingly.
Everyone who has raised a few cot
ton crops with the weevil present
realizes how the weevil cuts down
the acreage he can handle per pillow
and still make a crop. The more
abundant the weevils are, the less
acreage he can handle successfully,
and certainly with the present pros,
poets the acreage per plow for 1872
should be reduced to an absolute
minimum if the farmer is to eXper-
fence any safety whatever.

WHEAT

The first mention Of wheat is found
in Genesis xxx, Ia.
A British quarter of wheat IS 8
imperial bushels of So pounds each.
A rat will consume so POUNDS OF
wheat in year and damage much
larger quantity.
Ching No-tug, who lived in the
period about 1000 years before
Christ, is reputed to have been the
first to make bread frCm wheat.
Wheat has been mans faithful
servant for more than 5000 years.
Wheat bread is the principal daily
item of food of one-third of the
population of the world.
In normal seasons, prior to the
great war, the worlds annual pro-
duction Of wheat was 1867 ,494 900
bushels, of which amount the United
States produced COS, 443,000 bushels.
In recent years the average yield
of wheat in the United States has
been near Is bushels to the acre, al
though yields in excess of 20 bushels
to the acre are not uncommon.
Wheat is believed to have origi-
mated in Central Asia. Biblical,
Egyptian and Chinese literature
support the claim that it was in cul>
tivation prior to the historical era.
