FIGHTING THE BOIL WEEVIL
crate Plans for Further Effective
War Against tho Pest.

The work OF the Department Of
Agriculture at Tallulah, La, in deyel-
oping methods and apparatus for dust
ing cotton to kill the boil weevil, Is be-
ing continued this summer and heavier
planes are being used. In the spring
three De Haviland Alb planes were de-
tailed by the War department for use
In these tests, and competent engineers
and@pilots were also provided.
Previously, considerable work on
this problem had been done with light
machines, and the use Of the larger
ones has made it necessary to modify
the distributing mechanism. Several
types Of dust hoppers have been made
for meeting the new conditions, but it
will probably require some time to de-
velOp design which will be satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Coad. who has charge of the
boil weevil laboratory for the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, expects TO have a
fairly satisfactory permanent hopper
installed in one Of the planes for use
in actual control work during the sum-
mer.
Several plantations near the landing
field have been mapped and all ar
rangements have been made for dust
Ing the cotton with the planes The
results Of the new tests will be await
ed with interest by all those connected
with the cotton industry.

MOOSE
Plan Big Initiation for Dedi-
cation Of New Building

"She's going to be a hummer" said
William Daddy Bill" Welsh, popular
secretary of the local lodge of Moose,
speaking of the big celebration to be
held by the lodge on Sunday, June Is,
in honor of the completion of the
lodges big new auditorium. The cele-
bration will include dedication cere-
monies, initiation of a monster class
of new candidates and banquet for
old and new members
Daddy Bill" says: "What it takes
to make big class we are getting" /"
referring to the great number of appli-
cations already pouring in. All indi-
cations right now point to the Moose
assembling the largest number of ap-
plicants for the dedication initiation
ever gotten together at one time by
any local lodge. A special fee of $6
has been fixed by the lodge for those
desiring admittance with this class.
Any man of character between the
age of 21 and so years can make ap-
plication
With the completion of the Moose
new auditorium the local lodge will
have the largest of it's kind in the
city. The Moose temple these days
is beehive of activity making prep
arations for the big celebration in
June. And, quoting Secretary Welsh,
she'll be hummer.

Smoke Screen From seao,ane.

The use Of dense smoke clouds by
naval vessels for the purpose OF
screening battleships from the enemy,
has been practiced for a long time.
Fast destroyers are usually employed
to lay the cloud Of heavy smoke,
which Is produced by regulating fuel
and draft In the main boilers. Recent
tests, however, have proved the
efficacy Of seaplanes in this respect.
In fact, the seaplane has at least two
advantages over the destroyer: 1t can
lay screen much more rapidly: it
can regulate the height Of the screen
above water, and may make it COM
pletely envelop an object by flying
over and around the latter. When a
seaplane is used for laying the screen,
the smoke results from the introduc-
tion into the exhaust pipe Of chemi-
Gals that increase the volume as well
as the density Of the exhaust gases.

A small business was conducted within this building for about three years at the end Of which time, changes began to occur in the personnel of the origina- tors.
 As the years went by. new nem- bers were added and old ones with drew until in 1884. Henry F.. Rus sell and Cornelius F. Erwin banded together and adopted the present firm name.
