The commission appointed in 40

New Jersey laws. is agreeing to FISH

River and Bay. will be the guests OF

The Delaware Commission last
spring drew up a preliminary set Of
laws, which in their opinion met the
requirements OF the fishermen OF
the State and submitted them TO
the New Jersey Commission. After
spending considerable time on the
draft the New Jersey Commission
returned the revised copy OF the
preliminary laws last summer for
final discussion and revision. The
Delaware Commission having COM
pleted its work thinks Il has a ten
tative set of laws which Will meet
he approval OF the New Jersey
Commission.
During tomorrow's trip down the
bay the two commissions viii con-
slider all phases OF the proposed law
under which the fishermen OF both
Delaware and New Jersey will be
required TO operate. and It Is felt
that permanent decision will be
reached. Should the joint commits
sion agree the proposed laws will
be presented TO the fishermen Of
both States and II favored by a ma
jority OF those most interested, the
proposed laws will be sent TO the
Legislature OF each State.
For many years fishermen OF both
Delaware and New Jersey have been
laboring under the fear OF violating
the laws OF the two States, which in
some instances have confiicted. Each
State for years has claimed the ex-
clusive Jurisdiction over the waters
OF the Delaware river lying between
the two States.
Many arrests OF fishermen have
been made by wardens OF each State
and fines assessed by justices in each
State under the laws OF each State.

Every resource of the State Normal is at their command to secure that proficiency, so far as possible, which is so essen tial to the proper training of children.
 Summer study in it's infancy was largely a course of lectures from which the student select cd what he happened to want. Not so with the Normal's sum- mer session.

these squares that have the eggs in them, the best way is to go through your cotton every three or four days and gather the squares off the ground and pull the dead ones from the stalks and burn them. You can use a bucket to put them in un- til you get enough in a bunch to burn. One hand can pick up from two to four acres a day. By doing this job right, you will keep the eggs from hatch ing in a very great number.
 This picking of the squares is to destroy the egg more than anything else.
 Now, as how to handle the Weevil that is already hatchedl ] The weevil is very much like a potato bug or an opossum. When you shake the stalk the least bit, this Weevil will sull and fall off. Therefore you have lot more weevil than you think you have. You do not see many of them because they fall off and once they hit the ground you can not find them. One of the best ways to hold the Weevil back is to use most anything you can to brush the stalk while blowing. Put a gunny sack on the arch of your cultivator and let it drag over the top of the stalk. Use an extra long single tree that will brush the stalk. If you use this, put some old sacks around the end, so that you will not bruise the cotton. Hang some old rope on your names and let them dangle among the

limbs of the cotton. These things will cause the weevil to turn loose and fall off. Then you will cover him up as you blow. The weevil cannot make any headway if you can keep him knocked off and keep cov- ering him up with dirt. Keep Up this blowing every three days, and keep the squares burned as they dry or fall off, and you will make cotton. You need not blow deep, just use q big sweep and one furrow to a row will do the work. The main idea is to blow often, not later than every three or four days-keep it up. In Jeffer- son county last year one man that did this made three quar- ters of a bale to the acre, while the man right next to him that did not try to fight the weevil made nothing. The boil wee vii cannot stand dust or dirt. A strip along the road where dust from cars and wagons keep the cotton covered will make good cotton while fur ther out in the same patch there will be nothing made. This shows that they do not like the dust.
 You hear some talk of spray ing. Spraying is good, but ex- pensive and we think should be used as a last resort.
 If this country gets where if cannot raise cotton, we would like to know what is going to become of us. This is seri- ous situation, and let us all pull together.
The Newark journal., 1922-06-22

We have given the boil wee vii considerable thought and attention. Only a few days ago, we were in Oklahoma and talked to people that had real experience with the weevil. We were told there that the first year they had boil weevil there, they had only few, like We had here last year. T h e next year the Weevil practi- cally ruined them. In one town in particular, they had 5000 bales of cotton the year the Weevil was light, and the next year they had only 1000 bales. This convinces us that the wee vii is very dangerous for us this year. As far north as we are, we believe that with a deter mined and united effort on the part of every. body, we can eventually stamp out the boil weeVil in this county.
 We have inquired as to the best way to fight the weevil, and We find that the best way out of it is as follows:
 The boil weevil, like q house fly, multiplies very rapidly. Every weevil that you kill early saves many filters before fall comes. When the Weevil stings a cotton square, it depo@- it's eggs in the square. If these eggs are not destroyed it is only a few days until there are lots of new weeviIs that come from each square. When this square is stung by the Weevil, it will either fall off or die on the stalk. In order to get rid of
