MURDERS IN AMERICA
Eight Times More Frequent in This

times more frequent In the United

Monday at the close of the New YORK

The committee, which will report

DON'T GET PANiCkY
Most of Pests Now in Fields are Cow
pea and Not Boil Weevils.

After "a conference at Clemson col
lege between Director w. w. Long, OF
the extension service, Prof. A. f. Con-
radi, entomologist, and V. n. wy
liams, until recently associated with
b. r. Coad at the Delta laboratory
and now with the extension service
to conduct poisoning demonstrations
in this state Director Long issued
statement on the boil weevil situation
to the effect that many of the insects
now present on cotton in various
parts of the state are not boil weeVils
but cowpea pod weevils and that
farmers need not become panicky
over the presence now of abundant
boil weevils since the real loss to be
expected depends on weather condi-
tions in June and July. Director
Longs statement, which should tend
to temper the alarm now felt by
many, is given below:
"A great many of the wcevils ir-
most of the cotton fields at this time
are cowpca pod weevils and not boil
weevils. These insects in most cases
look so very much alike that it is diff
ficult for the average man to dis
tinguish them. The cowpea pod weevil
is not primarily n cotton pest but oc-
ours On cotton only temporarily in the
absence of cowpeas. This pest is most
injurious along the line from Barn
well TO Marlboro county. In this belt
it is expected every season at this
time, and the most successful practice
is to delay chopping of young cotton
until the attacks are over Whenever
these insects attack cotton that has
been chopped to a stand the value OF
ovcrestimatcd.
1.-The fact that the boil wecvil pass
ed the winter in great numbers and
may be expected in cotton fields at
this time in unusual abundance, does
not necessarily mean great damage
to the cotton crop. Situations like
this have occurred before in the his
tory of the wecvil in this country,
where they came out of wintcr-quar-'
ters early and in great numbers, caus-
ing a panicky condition among the
farmers The loss that we may cN-
pcct depends on the weather condi-
tions in June and July.
with the approach of hot wealth
cr the present generation OF wccvils
may yet he practically destroyed, so
that the abandoning of a cotton crop
at this time could hardly be justified
by the records. The cotton should be
given frequent and shallow CultiHa-
ton to keep down the weeds and to
air the soil. rs the bulk of the cot
ton crop in South Carolina is mad"

He sighed.
"Name your pricew he added.
II will sell you my soul for the mex

The Grand Master leaped in the air and
called TO witness the mandragoras inclosed
in. his bottles:
"What7 Did hear you Alright? The
purse of Fortunatus for your soul? A
soul Of mediocre quality! must say so,
though without intending to give any Of
fense. Business is business. Ahl / can

Disconnected. Hans Cure stammered
out:

eternal salvation. Think Of that!"

~POr the purse Of FOrtunatus," Hans
Cure said once more.

The young man hesitated. Then he
walked out without looking back.
The next day he passed by the mer-
chants shop. He didn't stop, but looking
out Of the corner Of his eye he saw two
beautiful blopd girls handling some jew
els. Their heads shone like two lamps
in the dark shop room.
The wind from the Rhine cooled Hans
Cures brow. He retraced his steps and
arrived at the squatty shop. The beauti-
ful girls were no longer there.

entered the shop, and, twisting his hat

"Have you the purse Of Fortunatus and
the inexhaustible bag Of M. John?"

man hummed, skipping TO and fro.

The old man had disappeared. In his

TIME young man was named Hans
Cure. At least he had given that
name at the inn where he stopped,
having come from Mainz by way Of the
Rhine.
At that period, about 1S43, the little
town Of Saint Goar was an extremely
quiet place. Dominated on one side by
the ruins Of the Rheinfels and on the
other side by the Lorelei rock, this charm
ing borough engarlanded its joyful life
with the tortuous vines which decorated
the doors and windows Of the main street,
parallel with the stream.
From the day Of his arrival Hans Cure
seemed to be a prey to a profound and
consuming melancholy. The good souls
Of Saint Goar attributed this to love.
He talked little and ate little. He had
paid for his room in advance in order to
assure his host All day long he wan
dered among the vines, and returned only
at nightfall to contemplate from his win
dow the tragic sky spreading its prophetic
colors behind the somber mass Of the Lor-
elei. When il grew dark Hans Cure
lighted his candle, opened one Of his
books-always the same one-and, with
his head in his hands, plunged into COM
plicated speculations: "Ahl il / could only
find a madragora, the source Of eternal
richesw he murmured.
One morning when Hans Cure, more
forlorn than usual, was walking in
little side street, descending TO the Rhine,
a "pstt, pstt" made him turn his head.
He saw in a squatty secondhand shop
little old man with stiff hair, whose black
and laughing eyes looked like two gaiteR
buttons planted on each Ede Of a rangy
nose.

such authority to the courts Of New Me%
leo, which are not supposed to have either
knowledge or means Of investigation to
solve such problems. Also il is said the
bill confers jurisdiction upon the state
courts instead Of the Federal courts over
lands once Indian which have been seq
regated from Pueblo lands by final de-
cree.
Objection is made that in the case Of
lands patented by Indians and non-In-
dians the court is TO decree to such non
Indians such lands without giving the In
dians right to assert and prove a su-
perior title.
1t is claimed that the bill deprives the
Indians Of any further and additional
use Of waters which under government
New-York tribune., 1922-12-10

There are about 5000 Pueblo Indians,
all told. Some Of them, like the Indians
of Taos, where there is a celebrated art
colony and the Pueblos serve as models,
mingle much with white people and are
used to the ways of civilization. Others.
in the more remote pueblos, meet very
few outsiders. All the Pueblo peoples
live in their communal dwelling houses
and wear the. picturesque Indian clothes
which they have known from early days.
They were living in much the same way
when the Spaniards found them. They
make pottery and weave baskets, but the
main source Of their livelihood is in the
acreage surrounding the pueblos, where
farming is carried on.
Objection is made TO the Bursum bill
on the ground that il deprives the Indians
Of title to lands which are included in
the old Spanish grants, but which have
been settled upon by squatters who have
been contesting the Indians claims. En-
croachments Of this sort have been car
ried on to such an extent that it is
claimed that the Indians Of the San Juan
pueblo are left in undisputed possession
Of only 588 Of about 1000 irrigable
acres, forcing 432 Indians 10 subsist on
these minor holdings.
In the Bursum bill the Joy survey,
made in 1Sl4-'16 by the governments,
shall be prima facie evidence in the
courts as to the boundaries Of non-In-
dian lands, The Joy survey was made
to obtain information in order that nom
Indian claims might be fought. This
measure makes the survey menace in
stead Of means Of defence, il is claimed.
The New Mexico Association on In
dian Affairs and the General Federation
Of Women's Clubs have prepared and
distributed a critical analysis Of the Bur-
sum bill. In this analysis it is pointed
out that there are more than 1000 nom
Indian claimants, and the Joy survey
shows that the claims Of all kinds run
into thousands Of acres. Objection is
made to the bill as taking from the Bu-
reau Of Indian Affairs the authority to
deal with Indian problems Of administra-
ton and government and transferring
New-York tribune., 1922-12-10

laws and Indian regulations they would
be entitled to, and requires them 10 sub
nit to the laws Of New Mexico for any
further application Of water. Also it is
said that Section 16 Of the bill is obiec-
tionable because it enables claimants who
are nothing but squatters upon Indian
lands to purchase such lands at value
which is certain to be so low as to be no
compensation, and the Indians are given
no option in the matter of selling.
The critics Of the bill say that the
measure is so full of inconsistencies that
it would really serve no useful purpose,
either for the Indians or for the claim
ants adverse to the Indians. The bill
should be defeated, they say, because it
stultifes the government and will ruin
