The Cotton Boil Worm.

The most important enemy OF cot
ton in the United States, aside. from
the recently introduced pink boll-worm
and the boil weevil, is the bollworm,
which has existed in this country for
many years and frequently reduces
the crop very considerably. Its annual
damage to cotton in the United States
has been conservativelv estimated at
more than S8,000000. This insect is
also a very important enemy OF corn,
tomato, okra, cowpeas and some 9TH
er crops Careful studies OF the boil
worm were conducted by DIR. A. l..
Ouaintance, of the bureau of entomol-
ogy, in connection with large-scale
field experiments in many localities.
The conclusions drawn from this prac-
teal work were that the essential steps
to be taken in the control of the boil
weevil are exactly the ones that should
be followed in the warfare against the
boll-worm. The following is the state
ment by DR.. Quaintance on this sub
ject:
The steps in the production of early
cotton include the principal recon-
menQat1OnS LOT tne growing OF ColtOll
in the presence of boil weevils. 1t is
therefore seen that injury from the
cotton boll-worm and the cotton boil
weevil may be best avoided by the
adoption of one and the same course
OF improved farm practice. The spread
of the latter species will render i'm
perative the culture, and along with
this change the ravages of the boil
worm during the normal seasons
should become less and less.
The development OF weevil poison
ing adds another interesting phase to
the question of control of the cotton
boll-worm. Years ago experiments
were conducted which showed that a
certain poisoning procedure would
control the boll-worm, but it was
found that the boll-worm damage was
not sufficiently heavy to Justify the
expenditure necessary for this poison
ing Since the development of weevil
poisoning, however it is interesting to
note that the procedure recommended
for the two insects is practically iden-

OUR DREAMS.
(By Martha Jones)
Our dreams should all be lofty,
And our ideals pure and true;
OF things that draw us onward,
From an old world to a new.
If ours are motives evil,
Evil will our influence sway;
Though good at last o'ercometh,
Let us not defer its day.
For many countless millions
Are to walk where we shall lead,
And only lofty aims can
Change a dream into a deed.
So let us then be mindful,
While we walk upon the sod;
That we and others with us,
May attain the hills OF God.

Officer Owens said.
Although the councils will select
the cops" the police traffic bureau
will reserve the right to dismiss them.
John Orman, president of the In

Fahmys. explaining, They were
fairly happy until they were mar
ried." The secretary admitted the
prince was 'unkind' to his beauti-
full wife, but denied he was cruel.
Under further cross-examination
the witness qualified this statement
somewhat by conceding that FANNY
had once struck his wife and dislo-
Gated her jaw.
Marshall-HaI read letter which
FANNY had written to his wifes
sister, recounting how he was
training the princess.
In this letter the prince revealed
his philosophy of women as fol-
lows:
with women, one must act with
energy. Be severe with them and
they will incur no bad habits"
The attorney also sought to- prove
the prince was unduly interested in
other women. He produced another
letter in which the Prince had in
quired about "all the pretty little
giUls in Paris" and had sent a
message to one Of them, saying
MY heart, my soul are at her feet

to be contributed before indianapolis
fills its quota of $4,000.
Contributions are coming in as
heavily as they did at first. William

contributors of large sums have made
their contributions. The contributions
now pouring into Red Cross head
quarters are gifts of small amounts.

progress being made in Indianapolis

Members Of the Red Cross executive
committee, which met Monday at Red
