801 l weevil* are greatly influenced
by weather conditions at ail times of
the year. The rate of increase In
the spring and summer depends on
climatic conditions as do the length
of time they remain In winter quar
ters, the death rate during the winter
and the time of coming from winter
quartern
By far the most important check
the weevil receives is dry weather
during June and July. It has been
Imind that in Texas and other West
ern states an average of about a
quarter of all the grubs in the fields
are killed hy heat and dryness. If
the weather is sufficiently dry a wee
vil in a square whi<h falls to the
ground is soon killed by the heat or
by the fact that the square soon be
comes so dry that it. does not furnish
suitable food. Even in fallen bolls
as many as ton out of a hundred of
the grubs are sometimes killed by
these conditions The bolls which do
not fall to the ground do not become
so heated as to affect the grubs.
In very dry weather, and especial
ly when the cotton plants are small
so there is very little shade, even the
grown weevils are killed in a few
seconds when they happen to fall up
o» the ground, provided they do not
fall in a place where they can crawl
Immediately upon some object from
which they can fly back to the cot
ton plant.
The seasons In which the boll wee
vil will al wavs do the most damage
are those with much wet weather in
June and July and in such cases
efforts to check their progress and
rapid multiplication must be re
doubled and the fields watched closely
to determine the time for applications
of calcium arsenate in dust form.
The greatest movement of the wee
vlls into winter quarters is when an
average temperature of 00 degrees
Is reached, especially if the nights
are cold and the days comparatively
warm. Under such conditions tlffro
Is a very noticeable activity on the
part of the weevils in the fields.
This generally takes place m Octo
ber and November and is a gradual
rather than a sudden movement.
The conditional most destructive to
the weevil in the winter are more or
less frequent changes from low tn
high temperatures. A number od
changes of this kind will kill many
more weevils than a very low temper
attire alone. During very warm spells
In the winter the weevils are some,
tfmeg found flying about. Activity of
this kind seems to weaken them and
when a cold spell comes they usually
ennnot withstand ft.

With the advent of cool weather in
tne fall, usually In October and No
vember. boll weevils begin to seek
protection against the winter. The
majority of the weevils leave the
fields and fly to the nearest shelter
which nmy be adjoining timber, grassy
tururowr or buildings The direction
bf their flight is governed parttally
by the prevailing winds. The move
|uent takes place when an average
temperature of 60 degrees Is reached.
The movement Into winter quarters
is not sudden and many weevils may
be found In fields after a majority
have left In some cases it has been
Observed that more than a thousand
weevils have been found In fields at
late ns December 18.
The most favorable places for win
tering are those in which there are th«
inost even temperatures and where
lit the same time the conditions are
comparatively dry. Spanish moss
probably is the most favorable shel
for weevils obtain, but many survive
the winter outside of the region in
which Simnlsh moss occurs, in grass
stumps, cracks in the ground and
similar places Very few are ever
found In cotton seed.
During the winter the weevils fake
no food and ordinarily do not move
from the place they have hidden but
sometimes during very warm spells
a few In the exposed places may bo
seen crawling or flying about.
The weevil passes the winter in
the adult stage When frosts occur
immature stag.-s still may be found
in the squares or the bolls. If the
food supply is sufficient many of
these immature stagt s continue their
development at a very slow rate and
finally emerge a« adult wo vlls Thus,
there may be a somewhat continuous
production of adults during the win
ter Ordinarily, however, this is not
the case, since |he frosts tbit de
stroy the cotton ge: erally kill the
grubs.
The number of weevils living
through the winter varies greatly
from year to year as shown by obser
vations made at many localities for a
number of years In one year only
one weevil out of a hundred survive.!,
but. in another ease, twenty cut of
each hundred lived through. The lat
ter figure is undoubtedly exceptional
and it appears that under average
conditions throughout the greater
part of the cotton belt not more than
five wsevila out of a hundred lived
over to attack the crop the following
year The largest number Uras
through where there la heavy timber
Enough survive any winter to cause
heavy damage If the spring and auro

Sending photographs by wire is
at last perfectly successful. This
will mean more to the education of
this earth than we can realize now.
Merely gratifying curiosity or cap
turing criminals by telephotography
on this little planet isn’t the impor
tant thing.
What can be done on wires can
be done through the ether that sepa
rates this earth from other planets
in our family.
We shall get from these planets
radio portraits showing faces of
their strange inhabitants and radio
"blue prints” from Mars showing
ns how to dig canals to store the
waters of the oceans when frost,
rain and attrition make this earth
perfectly round, leaving no natural
cavities to hold the water.
If the earth were absolutely
round, as it will be in a few million
years, the ocean would cover it
about a mile deep everywhere. We
must know how to prevent that.
Mars, tens of millions of years older
than Earth, will reach us by radio.
If that sounds preposterous re

twenty years ago if you had been
told that a preacher In Chicago
some day would be heard In Los
Angeles and Newfoundland In the

Ilepubllcan gentlemen that tried

should control the Nation, both dis

STATE PORT BOOSTERS
GIVEN WARM WELCOME
The party of Savannah business
men on a tour in the interest of a
state port arrived in Forsyth on
schedule time Wednesday afternoon
and were extended a warm welcome
by the large number of Forsyth citi
zens which met the special train at
six o'clock. Light refreshments were
served by ladies of Forsyth and an
eloquent address of welcome on the
part of the town of Forsyth was de
livered by Judge Ogden Persons. Ex
cellent music was rendered by the
marine band accompaning the
Savannah party and an address out
lineing the need of a state port and
its po'—ibdit ies to the state was de
livered. A deep impression was made
by the boosters.

Here’s hope for the hopeless, the
victims of hay fever. Mr. Coolidge,
who has a "rose cold,” sits for
forty-five minutes in an air-tight
room, breathing In air mixed with
chlorine gas. He leaves saying “the
trouble is gone.” «
Clilorine gas cures colds in men
and epizootic in horses. Why
should it not cure, or at least re

When European nations decided
to take what money they could get
from China after the Boxer upris
ing, the United States got some of
the indemnity cash, and then real
ized that it was international black
mail. The money was sent back to
China to be used for education.
China, now thanks the United States
Minister, saying that other nations
have followed our example.
"So shines a good deed in a
naughty world.”
The Dutch Reformed Church of
South Africa opposes prohibition,
saying: "Wine is the gift of God
which no one should desecrate."
That church takes seriously the
Bible statement that the founder of
Christianity, by a miracle turned
water into wine, to make a wedding
more cheerful. Some American
preachers say the wi^e thus pro
duced was non-alcoholic. But is it
likely that wedding guests would
have considered that a miracle
worth while?
The Senate Committee of Agri
culture rejected the Ford bid for
Muscle Shoals by a vote of 10 to 0.
That isn’t final, but it shows how
difficult it is to get anything
through In Washington sometimes.
It isn’t quite so difficult if there
is a “little black bag,” with the right
kind of lining in the offing.
Wall Street men will discover
that Secretary Mellon who had no
trouble In cutting hundreds of mil
lions off the national expenditures,
will easily find away to finance the
soldiers' bonus.
Tens of thousands gather at
Louisville, Kentucky, all excited,
eager, speculating, betting on "the
great American Derby." The win
ning horse will get $50,000. For
half the money that a good jockey
earns in a week you can buy an
automobile that will run any ten
race horses to death every day and
never get tired. Speed in horses
no longer means anything useful.
Racing, betting, horse excitement
will continue, for it takes men a
long time to get over anything they
have been doing for a thousand
years.
