HUTCHINSON OUTLINES
PLAN FOR COMBATING
BOIL VEEVIL RAVAGES
Organize BY Cotton Growing
States Directorship - All
Branches Represented
BACKING OF NATION SURE
Must Experiment With Theory
Of Maxim To Develop Sex-LuYe
For Weevil Destruction

ATLANTA, Feb. 26.-The fgsf
against the boil weevil is to be waged
! on wide front as soon asa comnre-
hensive plan of battle can be drawn
up, according to DR.. Reese Hutebin-
son, president and managing director
Of the National Campaign for Roll
Weevil control.
DR.. Hutchinson was given the die.
tatorshlp of the war on the weav;,
at the National Cotton conference
held In Atlanta during the mast waalr
oy representatives from all brapcbas
OIL cotton industry. He has been as-
sured OF the full cooperation Of fel-
eral and state agricultural authorities
and DR.. Hutchinson is now engaged
In completing his plans for the con-
centration of the efforts of all agen-
cles interested, bringing them all into
a concentrated effort to exterminate
the pest.
On his way back to New York
from his home state of Alabama.
DR.. Hutchinson outlined some of his
plans for the fight upon the Billion
Dollar Bandit"
"A program must be carefully
worked out which will utilize to their
full advantage the efforts of all Of
the forces engaged in the fight and
will obtain the co-ordinated action
that is essential to success Dir.
Hutchinson stated.
In completing our organization for
the hight, we are now at war with
the boil weevil. IF we were fighting
another nation, the regular army
would be the backbone of our forces
and it's strength would be multiplied
by civilian army recruited for the
emergency. In this war, the federal
and state agricultural agencies are
the regular army and a portion Of
the task of the National Campaign
for boil weevil control is to organize
the civilian volunteers, equip them
with materials for the destruction of
the weevi and direct their activities
in the fight.
In order to accomplish this, we
must first complete the board Of d.
rectors of the organization by the
selection Of one representative from
each Of the cctton-growing states and
certain directors at large in order
that all branches of the cotton in
dustry may be represented. This
board of directors, the number of
which will not exceed fifty, will con-
stitute the national war council We
will then proceed as rapidly as pos
sihle with the formation state or
CARNATIONS, each of which will be
subsidiary to the national organiza-
ton but will function as a separate
body.
"The one definite. object witch
the National Campaign for Boil
Weevil control has in view is the
control of the pest. Chief among
the subsidiary objectives is the solu-
tion of the calcium arsenate short
age problem. Until this problem Is
solved, this objective will be Of pri-
mary Importance.
Calcium arsenate is the basis Of
all known weevil poisons and for that
reason, the chemical is the ammuni-
ton necessary for warfare on the
weevil. Nothing is to be left undone

TO STABILIZE COTTON
PRICE BY AVOIDING G
CROP ESTIMATE ERROR
Georgia Representatives Have
Bills Before Congress For Bet
ter Government Reports
NO NEW HELP REQUIRED
Ginners Failing To furnish Ia
formation Are Punishable By
Fine Under Law

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Errors
in cotton crop estimates, which are
alleged to have have had a depress-
ing effect upon the warket price of
the staple, viii be reduced in tho
plils OF Senator William j. Harris of
georgia, the purpose of which are
TO better enable the agricultural de.
Fartment to make proper estimates
Oh the cotton crop, Senator Harris
believes.
The bills have been combined into
one and, through the activity of w.
w. Larsen, congressman from the
Twelfth Georgia district ranking
Democrat Of the house committee.
have been favorably reported by the
committee.
1t is believed that the cotton prices
VIII be further stabilized by accurate
crop reports. Under the present law,
1t is stated that there are no manda
tory requirements and the Depart
ment of Agriculture is Frequently un-
able to obtain the information neces-
sary to make an estimate. The pro-
posed law is designed to correct the
defect. Section three of the act
makes it mandatory for every owner
president, treasurer, secretary, direc-
tor, or other officer or agent of any
ginnery, or wherever cotton is stor.
ed or held, to give such information
as the director of census may re-
quire. This information is turned
over to the Department of Agricul.
ture.
In addition to this, the director of
foreign and domestic commerce is
required to cause periodic surveys of
the cotton situation in foreign coun-
tries for the purpose of summarize
ing the world cotton situation on
July 81 of each year.
Three senate bills, each of which
were designed to correct the evils
complained of, were submitted to the
committee Of the census. The sub
committee recommended that two of
the bills be incorporated in the third
as amendments and it was ordered
reported back to the house, the COM
mittee of the census requesting that
the acting chairman use every effort
to have the bill passed at the present
session.
Both the director of census ard a
representative from the Department
of Agriculture appeared before the
committee and recommended the Leg
islation.
1t is not thought that the enact
ment of the proposed legislation will
necessitate the employment of other
agents for the government, as the
people now employed in the Bureau
of Commerce in gathering informa-
tion as to cotton ginned will be able
to get the additional information re-
guired by this act at the same time
they procure the data which they
now required to obtain.
The proposed legislation provides
that: "The director of i. the census
shall collect information showing
the quantities and grades of baled
cotton on hand at ginneries, COM
presses, manufacturing establish
ments, warehouses and other places

During q months stay in Southern

happened to five Japanese youths who
set out a few days ago to climb Hale

towers over the Island of Maui.
After a search Of two days in the

their bodies were found about mile

Haleakala is 10000 feet high. In
time of storm the cold at that alti-
