No matter how good q husband

tionS-which means that he

Birthday
signs Of Gemini.

signs Of Gemini,
May 20 to June ~.
There is much of variety and versatility
In the people of Gemini. They do not
like routine or monotony. The women
of this sign make excellent homemakers
as the work in the home changes from
day. to day and from season to season.
And they can plan II much as they wish.
also there Is much chance for individu-
atty and originality. Beauty and comfort
in home depend almost entirely on the
woman who manages II and that gives
inward satisfaction.
The men Of Gemini are possessed of
q certain restlessness and are apt TO
change their occupation in the desire TO
get something better. Gemini people may
be extravagant in money matters but
generally know a good bargain when
they see it. They seldom get taken in.

wills are fast workers. BY 1894 they
had managed to settle in some six
counties of Southern Texas. By this
time they had become so bold and
were doing so much damage that
DR.. L. o. Howard, chief of the Bu-
reau of Entomology, was called in,
and. together with DR.. C. H. Town
send, made survey on the travelling
capacity and food consumption Of
these invaders.
Since that early date the boil
weevil has Systematically extended
its annual range from 40 to so miles
BY 1922 the persistent and efficient
cotton destroyers had increased
their territory to something like
614,213 square miles and they have
Travelled steadily to inhabit the re-
naming $1,000 square miles of cot
ton-producing territory.
The losses caused by boil weevil
are indirect and direct The Cot
ton Belt is affected economically
and financially. The losses, of course,
cause the value of the ground upon
which the cotton is grown to slump
in sales appeal. Cotton gins, oil
mills and other activities which need
the labor of men and women are
closed. 1t is easily seen how the
boil weevils invasion will affect
many industries which are not di-

rectly connected with the growing
or handling of cotton. Annual di-
rect loss is now we'll in excess of
s2OO,OOO,OOO.
The adult weevil is only 4 of
an inch long. The variation in size
is due to the amount of food the
insect has found handy during
childhood-or to be correct scientifi-
cally, the larva stage The larva
dwelling in the boil is more robust
than those residing in the squares.
The recently emerged individuals
are pale yellow in color and change
rapidly to the gray or almost black
hue within few weeks time.
Adults pass the winter hidden in
the debris or in cracks in the ground.
In the spring and throughout the
fruiting season of the cotton the
female is busily engaged in placing
her eggs in the cavities which she
forms by eating into the fruit of
the plant.
Under normal conditions, an egg
will hatch in 3 days and begin to
feast at once on the plant. In 7 to
II days the larva passes into the
pupa stage, which corresponds to the
moth cocoon. In to 5 days the
adult steps forth, and in about 5
days more this boil weevil will begin
to lay eggs. The females are rather
conSiderate of the rights of each
other. at least during the first of the
season, when squares are abundant
Late in the autumn. when space is
needed for all the eggs to be placed,
several mothers will each lay a
single egg in boil or square. This
means at least a dozen Weevils will
step forth from this badly infected
area. The boil is doomed.
Boil weevilS are systematic They
breakfast at 9 in the morning and
remain feasting until 5 in the after
noon. One thing more that is quite
unusual about this very expensive
invader. 1t has in some way learned
how to feign death, and no opossum
can do the trick more thoroughly
than this pest from Mexico. The
boH weevil has an honor bestowed
upon it which no other insect has
ever had An honest to goodness
monument, because its invasion
caused the farmers to learn TO grow
other crops than cotton and gain
dominion over the villain whose
taste for cotton almost wrecked
a state.

We are happy to say the cotton
boil weevil is not a native of the
United States. 1t is believed to
belong to the plateau region of Gen.
trail America or Mexico. Before
1892 the insect had made its pres
ence known over much OF Mexico,
and it is thought that even some
time before this the boil weevil
had made it improbable to grow
cotton in certain areas.
Sometime during 1892 the boil

The young woman, however. de-
clared she had no trouble in the

fused. He told her, however, there
is no rule against having the lilies
delivered by messenger boy and 1t is
understood she made arrangements
to have that done.
