Live weevils Dead weevils

Survival in HibeTnation Hlgnest In
Years.
From these figures it is seen that
we have far more live weevils per
ton of moss in sight now than at any
time since these records were started
and only a very few dead weevils.
: OF course the records on the presence
OF dead weevils can not be accepted
as too accurate because it has been
found that many dead weeviis fall
ont of the moss during the winter
and are thus lost. The most strik-
ing 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 pre-
ceding years since 1915. These rec
ords are checked in other ways, among
the different methods being ser1es
of cages located near Taliuiah'
I.ouisiana, which are installed with
a known number of live Yeevils each
fall, different types Of shelter pro-
v;ded and the survival of weevils IN
these cages determined in the spring
we have lust completed an examlna-
t;on of this series of cages and find
that these figures verify those quoted
~ the moss examinations, and show
the percentage of survival to date to
be much higher than in past years
Small Acreage Suggested.
In considering the significance OF
these findings, it should be remember
ed that while they mean very alb
normally heavy emergence OF over
wintered weevils in the coming spring,
thew do not necessarily mean that
summer weather conditions may be
sufficiently unfavorable to offset this
heavy early infestation, but the fact
remains that the farmers will start
handicapped and it is going to require
abnormal weather to produce a nor
NAL cotton crop under tremendous
weevil damage. The sane source to
pursue is to anticipate a year OF
great abundance of boil weevils and
make all plans accordingly. Every
one who has raised few cotton crops
with the weevil realizes now the wee
vii cuts down the acreage he cen han
die per plow and still make a drop
Furthermore, the more abundant the
weeyils are, the less acreage ne can
handle successfully, and certainly the
present prospects per plow for lszz
should be reduced to an absolute min
imum if the farmer is to experience
any safety whatever.

BOIL WEEyIL THREAT IN 1922.
Expert in Charge of the Delta Lab
oratory at Tallulah. La.
(By B. r. Coad)

ICY D. ". Sodol
Cotton farmers are now busy argu'
ing pro and con the advisability Of
reducing or increasing the cotton acre
age for 1922, but in the numerous
arguments quoted we seldom see any
mention made of one of the mos,
important factors which should have
a very positive influence on the cotton
program for the coming season. This
il the prospect of bool weevil abun'
dance. For quite a number of years
the Delta Laboratory of the Bureau
Of Entomology, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has been making
a series OF studies each season to
prove as basis for predictions re-
garding the severity Of spring infes'
tation of bool weevils. The records
for 1922 have just been completed
and for comparison with these we
have similar records for the past
eight years.
The number of boil weevils energ-
ing from Information eacn spring de-
pends on two things, the number en-
tering Information in the fall and the
percentage of those surviving. Last
sfall the msjority of the cotton belt
sew conditions which permitted an
unusually large number of weevlis
to enter Information. The winter
weather has generally been abnormal
, IL mild to late and the usual period
of severe weather has passed al
though there is of course still a bare
chance of temperature low enough to
influence weevil survival. Because OF
this mild wather a high rate Of wee
vii survival was to be expected. Ou1
recent records have more than veri-
fed this expectation. These records
are made IN a number Of different
ways but the most comparable criter.
ion is the figure based on the number
of live weevils found alternating In
Spanish moss in certain selected 10
calities in Louisiana each year. Dur
ing the past few days we have ex'
amined over 5000 pounds of Spanish
moss from Is different selected points
representing the different types Of
alternating conditions found in that
district. This moss is carefully ex'
amined and the number of weevils
both dead and live noted. From this
we compate the ratio of both live
and dead weevils per ton Of moss
and past experience has shown that
this afforls a very fair index to the
emergence which may be expected
The table below shows the figures
for the rast eight years.

Helium costs more than hydrogen.
Dead men are no use to the country.
It would seem, to the man who
reads as he runs, that those in author
ity might have put these two facts
together prior, not subsequent, to the
horrible disaster to the Roma. With
the terrible example Of CR-2 fresh in
our minds, couldn't we have spent the
money necessary to fill the Roma's
big bag with noninlammable helium
especially since we have seen seven
millions invested in two plants to re-
cover this gas from natural gas?
There will be Investigations OF
course-already Congress is talking
of whether or not it should sanction
other dirigibles. But will Congress
have. the courage to place the blame
for the Roma disaster where it be-
longs-either on a. penurious policy
or a mistaken idea of economy? Will
our legislators have the nerve to face
their constituents if they do not? No
one knows-a Congressman's constit-
uents are to him hydra-headed mon
ster, and he is all too prone to for
get that they are just plain folk
regular fellows who would rather
spend public money for expensive
helium than save it, via hydrogen
and kill a few dozen fellow citizens
to mark their Economy"

Patriotism, a word too often cheap
ened by improper use, was given a
new meaning recently when the Scot
tish Rite Masons Of Charleston, S
c., went on record as opposed to ex'
emption of fraternal orders from tax
alton.
It is very infrequent that the Ma
sonic order takes any action which
could possibly be considered rs in
terfering with political movements
In this case, as has been pointed out
with much pride not only by South
Carolina Masons VINO are members
of the national legislature but by
many senators and congressman from
other states who ere MasonS, the
South Carolina organization is stand
ing for a principle which, put into
practice, will be injurious to them
financially. The text Of their res
olution, to be presented to the leg
islature of South Carolina, is as fol
lows:
"Whereas measure now pending
before the general assembly of South
Carolina proposes to exempt Masonic
and other fraternal buildings from
taxation, and
"Whereas equalization of taxation
is a fundamental principle OF oul
government; be it therefore
Resolved, That the Cathedral AS
sociation of the Ancient and Accept
ed Scottish Rite of Free Masonry
of Charleston, S. c., hereby places
itself on record ss opposed to any
tax exemptions extended to Masonic
and other fraternal buildings, believ-
ing that each organization and In
stitution should bear its full proper,
ton of taxation, the only exceptions
being such organizations and insti'
tutions as are operated wholly by
the state, county or city governments
for the use and benefit of all the
people"
