EXPERTS REPORTING
HEAVY H|BERNAT
OF BOIL .WEE:VILS

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. Ia
cotton belt infested by boil weevil in
1924 show that there was a heavy
development of boil weevil during
the fall weeks of October and early
November. These Weevils did nc
damage, Of course, because the
squares then punctured would not
have matured, but they furnished
large broods that have gone into win
ter Information to emerge next
spring.
This information is based upon
answers to QUESTIONABLE sent out
by the National Boil Weevil Control
association to about 1900 co-operat-
ing agencies in all parts of the cot
ton belt. The information is furnish
ed by banks, chambers of commerce,
leading farmers and county agents.
1t shows conclusively that the fight
against the boil Weevil is not over.
The insect has not been eXter-
minated, and the experience of 1928
is not to be taken as an index to flu
ture conditions.
Heavy InfeStation
Much will depend, of course, upon
the condition of winter Weather.
There may be a heavy or a light
emergence from Information next
spring, but even with q light emer-
gence the insect will develop into de-
structive numbers if the spring is ia
Vorable. This year the weather hap
pened to be unfavorable to the weevil
and favorable to cotton, but it is not
likely that next year will repeat this
years weather.
Hence, in the Judgment of the Ma
tional Boil Weevil Control associa-
| ton, which is in intimate contact
| with the government and state agen-
cles of insect control, farmers should
prepare to fight a heavy infestation
next spring and summer
The methods of control developed
and tested for several years are eff
ficient and economical. This is the
| testimony of, all intelligent farmers
| and expert observers. But control
| requires an intimate understanding
| Of the nature and habits of the boil
weeVil and of the conditions OF
weather which affect both the weevil
and the poisoning which is to be APP
piled when the infestation becomes
| destructive. Without such intimate
| knowledge, the farmer may waste his
time and money
Improved Methods
A highly encoura ging fact devef-
oped by the National Boil Weevil
Control associations inquiry and re-
port is. that from SO to 80 per cent
of the farmers of the cotton belt are
using improved cultural methods
that is, improved varieties, proper
spacing, proper cultivation and inten-
sive fertilization. These methods are
responsible for much of the improve
ment in boil weevil control during
the last year or two. With The care

his bereavement. Everywhere the
children, including Clarence and Mil
ton are received with Difference. They
are back III their classes, the two
boys at Capital University, where
though refraining from their usual
diversions and recreations, they are
taking their place as before.
While the family returns to its old
ways Of life, officials put an end to
their investigation. The last official
occurrence came with the recent
finding of DIR. II. NJ. Brundage, the
pathologist, that Mrs. SheatsleY must
have been dead before her body was
placed in the blazing furnace. At
the same time that Or. Brundage
was confirming the findings of DE-.
c. l.. Long, chemist, the county
coroner, j. A.. Murphy filed his YER
diet that the woman came to her
death by thrusting herself inten-
tionally through the fourteen inch
furnace door, closing that door be-
hind her, to be consumed by the
blazes of the fire pit.
The coroner reflected the senti-
ment of the citizens of BeXley, the
exclusive and artistocratic suburb
in which Rev. Sheatsley was pastor
of the principal church-the Ortho-
doX Lutheran. The chemist and the
pathologist gave the verdict of
science. Nothing tangible has been
evolved by detective work to sub
stantiate either.
But Rev. Shcatsley, returning to
his students at Capital university,
for the first time shortly after the
burning remains of his wife were dis
covered, suggested that she might
have come to her death by hands
other than her own:
II would prefer to believe" he
said, that Mrs. Sheatsley mad been
killed by someone other than her
self. 1t would be less depressing
than the thought that she had taken
her own life
This attitude is confirmed by the
tenets of the branch of the Luth
eran church to which Rev. Sheats-
ley belongs. His strict creed make
suicide one of the cardinal sins, and
it was that creed in which Mrs.
Sheatsley believed as firmly as her
husband.
Yet her death officially is set down
as suicide. Thought of murder has
been put out of the minds of the
good people Of BeXley. The whole
incident is forgotten.

the worker will say that this is his
avowed aim,-to Cypress his class

MAN AND WOMAN
BY Robin Dunbar.

In the upper bourgeois circles, man
is known by his success; i. e., his abili-
ty to exploit great number of slaves.
Woman is recognized there by her
ability to fasten herself parasitically
on a successful man, and to cling
there tenaciously. Illustrations Hen
ry Ford and any of the Vanderbilt wo-
men or the Goulds, or Mr.. and Mrs.
Hearst.
In the middle bourgeois strata, man
is known by his talents; /. e., his
power to extract money from the high
er bourgeoisie. Woman is famous
there for the same thing plus her abil-
ity to exploit her sex attraction. Ex-
amples: Nicholas Murray Butler and
Peggy Joyce; Albert Fall and Evelyn
Nesbit.
In the lower or bohemian bourgeois
clans man is known by his knack of
knocking the mazuma out of the next
higher class, for instance, Rudolph
Valentino, Fatty Arbuckle, Cal Cool
idge. Woman precisely for the same
thing plus her knack of selling her
sex favors; Mabel Norman and the
movie stars, actresses, and demi-
monde of ill-repute like Castle, Thaw,
ct al.
Among the militant sections of the
working class, the unions, the Com
munists and the revolutionists, man
is known by his ability to organize
his class to fight the bourgeoisie;
Lenin, Foster, zinoviev. Woman here
becomes prominent partly as fighter
and partly as the supporter and pro
tector Of those who fight. Examples:
Krupskaya. Luxembourg, zetkin.

measure. When he deals with his
own kind he makes proletarian mode
of living, proletarian severity, prole
tartan simplicity the law and the
standard. With the amassing Of
wealth, with the raising Of the level
OF general well being, everybody will
lead more comfortable and more
refined existence. For the time being
the demand of the worker is that
there be no marked difference be-
tween the standard of living of the
highest Communist leader and that
of the average worker. The worker
stands for equality as far is it can be
realized in everyday life. This pro-
letarian psychology has put a stamp
on the Soviet Republic as a whole
on all its classes. 1t has already be.
come bad tone in Soviet Russia to
shine in Respondent attire, in jew
els, in luxurious habitations. This
proIetarian public opinion is in itself
a powerful check on all those weak
elements who would be inclined to
misuse their official position for per-
sonal profit.
Collective Activities.
The rank and file Russian worker
is q collective being, a member of a
social unit All his life is spent in
cooperation with fellow workers. In
his factory he is an integral part of
an industrial organization. In his la
Dor union he is part of collective
whole. In the Communist party he
feels soldier of well-disciplined
army In his political activities he
always appears hand in hand with
workers and peasants masses. In
cultural life he is never confined to
himself, he is never centered upon
his individual self-sufficiency, he is
always working in cooperation with
his comrades. The club, the singing
group, the lecture, the reading circle,
the dramatic organization, the mass
performances, the sport field, the
street manifestations everythin is
shared with others, everywhere the
worker expresses himself as part of a
social organization. The political ac-
tivities of the working class,-Soviet
elections, Soviet work, party work,
union work,-are mass functions, Gre
alive efforts for the benefit of the
class, of the proletarian state, of the
proletarian future. The rank and file
Russian worker knows that he him
self must do the political work, he
himself in coordination and conjunc-
ton with the rest of his class.
Therefore he SCOTS at a system
where a citizen" casts his vote once
in two years and rests inert the re-
naming time. Therefore the Rus
sian worker fails to understand
system of democracy" where
politics is the specially of profess
sional politicians while the masses
have no share in the entire work of
Legislation, administration, judiciary,
diplomacy, in shaping the budget and
managing the other economic activi-
ties of the country. The rank and

Let the Child Labor Issue
Be Clearly Defined

The federal child labor amendment,
now pending before the various leg
islatures, is vital social issue. 1t
should command the energy of every
well-wisher of our country and its
future citizens.
Guile, evasion, mystification and
fraud are used by opponents of the
amendment to deceive and delude.
A simple proposition is pictured as
an unheard-of process. Timid souls
are frightened by tales of a monstr-
Gus legislative Brodingnagian de-
vouring children as it stalks through
the land.
1t is the ancient "wolf" cry, the
favorite device of those who profit
by wrong.
The right of little ones to their day
of happy childhood should be as fun
damental as the adults right to lib
erty and free speech.
The adults right can not be check
ed by imaginary boundry lines of
township, county or state. Neither
should the children's rights.
States rights is a legal fiction, as
is "police power of the state. No
court has defined or marked the linn
itation of either term.
When the Fathers declared in the
constitution that congress shall Greg
ulate interstate commerce" they did
not dream of the powers government
now exercises over transportation.
Public opinion has made an extern
sion Of these powers possible. The
wide sweep of the three words is in
dicated by Chief Justice Taft:
"To regulate in the sense in
tended Tin the constitution) is to
foster, protect and control the
commerce with appropriate re-
gard to the welfare Of those who
are Immediately concerned, as
we'll as the public at large, and
to promote its growth and in
sure its safety" Dayton-Goose
Greek railway company VS.. In
terstate commerce commission.
The same development of other So
cial questions is seen on every side,
yet when it is proposed that children
be at least given the same considera-
tion as cattle afflicted with hoof and
mouth disease, objection is raised.
In every state the principle of child
pfOIecIlOH IS accepted. III some CHe
principle is loosely applied, but it ex-
lists just the same.
1t is now proposed to extend that
principle to federal affairs, as a mat
ter of self-preservation for the child
and the nation.

that congress will outlaw the labor

THE TIMID OFFICE WORKER

Most workers who have been en-
ployed in offices for several years
become timid. That is why the term
"white collar" worker is used in a
degrogatory manner. In newly or
ganized offices we come across work
ers who are afraid The union or
ganizers do not blame them. They
understand that their environment
has taken from them whatever cour-
age they at one time possessed.
Here is an instance. A staff meet
ing was held in a certain office, and
salaries were discussed. 1t was de-
cided that request for increases be
made. Following the meeting, one
of the girls approached the officer of
the union and said: Don't press my
request for increase if they don't
accede to it Immediately, because
can't afford to lose this job. You see,
| have to support my mother as we'll
as myself" She was assured, in the
first place, that when the request for
the increase would be made, it would
be done on behalf of the entire staff
and not for her alone, and, in the sec
ond place, that our agreement states
specifically that no one is to be dis
eliminated against on account of un-
ion activity.
The union will put heart into the
office worker. 1t will change condi-
tions so that the office worker will
not be in mortal dread of losing his
job when he or his representative
asks for justice. All together, every
body, root for the union.

which were declared unconstitution-
al. Then congress believed it had the
power to regulate child labor. 1t did
not outlaw child labor of Is years, 1t
placed IA years as the limit.
Friends Of the amendment must re-
member that when the states accept
this proposal, that does not stop child
labor. Legislation by congress is
necessary. The amendment is merely
an enabling act. 1t authorizes con-
