WEEVIL INFESTAT!0N
UNUSUALLY HEAVY
fRx Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-A heavier
infestation of boil weevils in the cot
ton belt than in any recent year is in
dicated for the coming season by OBJ
servations made at the Delta labora-
tory at Tullulah, La, by experts OF
the bureau of entomology of the de
partment of agriculture. it was an
nounced today.
This forecast, it was explained, was
based largely on the mildness of the
winter, coupled with conditions last
fall which permitted an unusually
large number of weeyils to enter hi,
bernaion. Recent records. it was said,
have tended to verify this calculation
While an abnormally heavy emerg
ance of weevils was indicated for the
spring. it was said, this did not neces-
sarily mean that weevil damage would
be unusually great. since 1t was pos
sible that summer weather conditions
might effect the early infestation.

ESTATE TO NECRESS
by Associated Press)

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2s-Oil lands
in Claiborne parrish said to be worth
nearly $4,000, 600, were declared yes
terday by the Louisiana supreme court
to be the property of Lille c. Taylor,
a negress, when the court denied a
request for the appointment of cura-
tor for the estate of Iona MCGEE, her
mother.
J. Puss Wimberly district attorney
of Claiborne parrish, brought action in
the district court of that parrish to
have himself named curator for the
estate, contending that the estate was
a vacant one, as no legitimate heirs
were living. Upon dismissal of his
suit in the district court he appealed
TO the supreme court which upheld the
lower court. Lille Taylor was declar-
ed by the supreme court, referring a
former opinion decreeing the land
hers. She is the acknowledged daugh-
ter of Iona MCGEE, wife of the for
mer owner of the land.

the greatest common divisor nor the
least common multiple If elementary
schools adopt reforms which were ad-
vocated this afternoon at the meeting
here of the National Council of Educa-
ton. Miss Katherine ID. Blake, prin-
cipal of school No. in New York and
chairman of the committee on changes
needed in the elementary school
courses, in giving the amended report
on arithmetic, declared that all ''math-
ematical puzzles and conundrums
be eliminated
Home work, which many of the
younger generation would gladly do
without, must also walk the plank if
Miss Blake's recommendations, at
least so far as the first four grades
are concerned. are put into effect.
Work should be done in class where
the teacher can see that the proper
methods and habits are developed,
Miss Blake maintained.
In presenting her case against the
greatest common divisor, Miss Blake
declared that arithmetic in the first
| six years should be confined to those
processes used in 1.-The everyday life
of the great mass of our population
outside of technical or special voca
lions. The substantial mastery of a
certain number of often used abilities
