received in Il telephone message from
the observer stationed at La Barra.
The message said:
Jesus NJ. Palma, chief of the coast
guard, at o o'clock Il. m, sighted the
rebel %gunbOats Tampico and S%araZoZa,
which had prevented six ships from
entering the port. The vessels were
five tankers and the Dutch steamer
Maasdam.
"The rebel gunboats fired four shots.
The artillery stationed at the entrance
to the fort replied and forced the rebel
vessels to retire outside the range of
the guns.
''Then the rebel ships directed their
fire against the suburb of Varaderb,
located to the left of the Panuco river,
destroying several Chinese houses.
How many of the occupants of these
houses persisted is not known. An air
plane sent up to reconnoiter identified
both of the rebel ships"
Immediately after the bombardment,
James b. Stewart, the American con
sui, informed the American embassy at
Mexico City and the state department
in Washington and requested instruc-
tons.
Some of the %populace, fearful lest
the rebel ships again fire on the town,
have left Tampico. The port is well
projected by artillery.
After the bombardment, the ships
disappeared. Two bombing planes are
being held in readiness to attack the
rebel ships If they attempt to return.
Federal reinforcements are arriving
in Tampico in considerable strength.

In addition to the use OF poison
there are numerous other practices
which tend to reduce the boil weeHl
injury to cotton. Even when poison.
ing 10 praeticsd the most thorough
attention should be given to the In.
direct means Of control. since they rs.
dues the amount Of poisoning which
might be necessary and increase the
profit which may be obtained.
One Of the most important steps to.
ward reducing the weevil infeststion
ls the destruction OF the cotton plants
in the early fall before the weevils
have hibernsted. To be OF the great.
est value, the plants must be piowed
undsr deeply before the first killing
frost.
II has been pointed out in a previous
article that immature stages OF the
weeVils may survive the frosts and
cause = continuous development Of,
weeVils throughout the winter. This
may be checked completely by the de.
structlon OF the stalks.
In some districts where II is i'm.
possible to practice fall destruction
OF stalks, somewhat the same results
may be obtained by grazing the
field with cattle, sheep or goats. IN.
perts declare there IL no danger to
the stock from poisoning as there very
rarely is poison on the plants at that
time Of the year and the amount on
the plants Immediately after an appli.
cation will not lnjure the stock
It is often possible to reduce con.
siderably the spring infestRtion By
proper winter cleanup measures
around the fields. Since the weevils
will hiberanto successfully in any
trash or rubbish, Il IL = good practice
to burn over OF clean up around the
cotton field during the winter,
especially the fence rows and ditch
banks.
Much can be accomplished by the
elimination OF Information quarters.
Especially along the more northerly
portions Of the veevil zone the most
successful hibernation Ia largely con.
fined to the timbsred areas, and as a
result serious weevil injury is expert.
enced only in the fields adjoining such
timber Under such conditions II is
OF the utmost importance TO plan all
clearing operations 40 that the open
areas Toy cultivation are consolidated
into as large tracts as possible. thus
increasing the amount Of land which
is sufficiently distant from timber to
suffer a minimum amount OF weevil
