peas are damaged by this large black
WeeVil which punctures the pea mods
Tor two purposes: first. to reach the
developing pea which it eats: second.
to lay its eggs within. The eggs
hatch out into pale. fesh-colored
gruos, which live upon the pea ker-
mails
The weevils are worst early in the
growing season, and early attempts
TO control them are usually most sue
cessful. Spray the peas with l pound
OF lead arsenate to so gallons of water
The leaves and pods of peas and
beans are often caused to curl by a
fungus. This fungus may be held in
check by spraying with bordeaux

The weevils attack the plants worst
soon after they come up. Then is the
time TO spray without danger to the
consumer. If the peas are sprayed
after the pods are nearly ready to

A LESSON IN FLORIDA GEOGRA.
PLY

A study of the map of Florida in
relation to that of the United States
reveals some interesting things that
probably very few citizens of the
state realize.
Florida extends farther east than a
large portion Of Pennsylvania and Vir-
ginia
A part of Florida lies farther west
than Chicago; fifty miles west of Bir-
mingham. Ala, and to within forty
seven miles of the Mississippi state
line.
Florida extends forty-fve miles far
'ther north than the southern tip of
Georgia There are ffty-four Florida
postoffices farther north than Val
dosta Georgia.
The northern line OF Florida is ff-
ty-fOur miles farther north than Fort
Morgan. Alabama; sixty-fve miles
north of the southern end of Missis-
sippi.
Florida extends into the tropics FIVE
hundred miles farther than the south
ern most part OF California. The coast
line of Florida is nearly equal 10 that
OF the combined Pacific coast of the
United States, or slightly more than
twelve hundred miles-Plant City

announced probability that the State
his year will suffer from a dimlnu-
tion of resources, it is gratifying, TO
learn from authentic channels that
many thousands of dollars were saved
To the commonwealth by the manner
in which the governor, the adlutant
general and the commissioner Of labor
handled the recent railroad strike IN
his State. It is computed that, as
matter Of fact, the military expenses
in Virginia incident to the strike ap..
nroximated something in excess OF
81 900 and something less than ST.
800. Had the military forces Of the
State been placed in active service,
this alone would have entailed a daily
expense of $4,000 Virginia Is said
20 be the only State in the Union, OF

ties. in which troops were not called

Trinkle is Justly proud, and one which
is exceedingly gratifying to AdJutant

/ EPreddy's Name
Not On Ballot
Mayfield VIII BE Allowed On-Will
Cause Texas TO Be Scene of
Hottest Battle.
lnv Unitcd Press.l

Washington, Oct. 2S.-TeXas will
see the hottest campaign windup Of
any State in the Union, as a result
of the court decisions which have bar
red from the ballot the name of +. B..
Peddy and let Earle Mayfield'S name
go on.
Both are candidates for the Senate
to succeed Senator Culberson May
field is a Democrat, Peddy an In
dependent Democrat Republican,
with the active backing OF President
Harding.
Peddy's name was kept off the bal
lot by court action based on the fact
that he was not nominated at a
primary. Mayfield's name goes ON
because the State supreme court
yesterday overruled lower tribunal
which had decided Mayfieid should be
kept off. Mayfield was attacked on
various grounds, one being that ms
campaign fund was in excess OF the
amount permitted
The fight on Nayfield really IS a
Eight on the Ku KluX klan. Peddy
was put forward by anti-klan Demo
crats, in concert with what RepuD-
licans Texas has.
Mayfield for a long time refused to
pay any attention to the charge that
he was a Klansman. Within the last
few weeks. however, he stated he had
belonged, but is no longer a member
having resigned. That statement was
used against him by the Peddy forces,
Who said il was subterfuge, and tnat
Nayfield was a X. X. h. candidate
Mayfield has gained great adva,n-
age in the November Z election by
getting his name on the ballot, as
,hose who vote for Peddy must write
mis- name in. But Peddy has been bet
ter advertised throughout Texas than
any candidate in many day, by rea-
son Of the court proceedings, ana also
because President Harding wrote a
etter urging that Peddy be CHOSEN
This advertising may help offset the
advantage Mayfield gains by beng
the only senatorial candidate on tne
ballot.
Whatever happens at the November
: election, will not end the fight. II
eddy is elected, his election VIII be
challenged on technical grounds un-
der the election laws, according TO
present indications. If Mayfle!dI WINS
he will be challenged when ne at
sempts TO take his seat in the senate
unless he is able to prove TO the sat
'sfaction of certain present members
,f fbe Senate that he has no afflllta-
ton with the X. X. n.
Both candidates. now that the court
fight is temporarily over, are closing
heir campaigns in whiriwlnd style
Meantime. Republican headquarters
aere is counting Texas as one OF thea
possibilities, in making up list OF
possible senatorial gains.
