1t is apparent that the world was
not made safe for democracy by
waging war. 1t should be ap-
parent that roads can not be made
safe for pedestrians or motorists by
waging war against the latter by pro-
hihitive speed regulations or drastic
police rulings.
The motor car and truck have come
to stay. They have come to stay be-
cause they save time, make speed
Eliminate the speed and the time-sav-
ing from the motor cars and men would
go back to horses.
If the speed and time-saving re-
suit in maimings and killings; if ac
cidents and injuries follow the use o.
trucks on highways then some othei
remedy must be found than will de-
destroy the very factors of these in.
struments of transportation which
make them vital to our modern life.
The answer is plain; most people
who have studied the question see it
and many acknowledge it. But it is
not much talked about, because for
sooth, the politician breads to say
anything which may be construed as
advocating more taxes, spending more
money Had the politicians of twenty
years ago advised farmers to spend
five hundred or thousand dollars for
new team to save time, he would
have been defeated for office!
But the answer must be made, and
we, as people, must see it approve it
pay fer it. The answer is wider roads;
~oads with high and low speed di-
visions; roads which can carry mod
ern traffic.
Not all roads of course. but the
main roads, the well-travelled roads,
the intercity roads, the roads CON
Meeting State with State and county
with county,, these either now or
later, must be made wide enough to
carry the present and the future traffic
safely, assure the pedestrian of his life
and whole limbs, the motorists of free
dom erom accident and traffic the
possibility of making time without
danger to anyone.
When the automobile was new, peo-
pie cried out against hard surface
highway appropriations as "class
legislation fer speeders" Now the
people know that hard surface high
ways are for them, first, for the
"speeders" afterwards. But we all
want to make time, save time, 90 fast
enough to get the benefit of our cars.
Let us stop crying out against the
added expense Of the wide highway,
which al:ne can make motor transport
safe for us all. =.

When the boil weevils come from
G1eir winter quarters after a fast of
several months they lose no time get
ting to feeding grounds. AS their
choice, and virtually only "dish," Is
cotton, they quickly fly to the near
est field and begin devouring the
plants. Feeding may take place on
the seed leaves or the regular leaves
If any have developed.
The insects usually are found in
the extreme tip of the plant II
feeding happens to take place at the
point where the two seed leaves
branch the plant frequently dies, but
feeding elsewhere has little effect ON
the plants growth. Feeding continues
In these places until squares appear
when they attack them. AS long aA
there is an abundance of squares not
punctured the developing bolls are
practically free Of injury, but when
the weevils puncture a majority OF
the squares the insects begin attack
ing the bolls.
AS long as the female weevils have
nothing to eat but leaves they show
no tendency to lay eggs, as they must
obtain food from squares before the
eggs develop After the eggs begin
to develop practically all the food
Of the females is obtained from the
| squares as they bore the egg cavities.
The male weevil, however, remains
on a square for some time, pucturinS
1t over and over until 1t begins to
become dry.
Weevils regularly take moisture
from dew or rain drops on the leaves
and other parts of the plants.
The first sign of injury Of cotton
squares is what is called flaring. This
Is the spreading outward of the three
closing the square. The square also
turns yellow at this time. Flaring
usually takes place from two to three
days after the egg has been placed
in the square. Virtually all squares
which have been fed upon or have
eggs placed in them drop to the
ground. Usually it is about a week
from the time a square receives an
egg until 1t falls.
Tests have shown that the weevil
prefers Sea Island or Egyptian cot
ton to any of the upland American
varities, but among the latter no
choice is shown.
The boil weevil is sometimes found
on plants other than cotton and has
been observed in okra blooms. How
ever, 1t has never been known to
place eggs In other than cotton
squares and efrorrs to force 1t to do
so have failed.
