UNCLE SAM TO FIGHT
COITON BOLL WEEVIL
Washington, D. C., Dec. 18 j
Steps taken by the Department of
Agriculture to combat the cotton
boll weevil have brought nbo
situation “more favorable than
before,” Secretary Wallace informed
Senator Harris of Georgia i n a letter
made public yesterday by the Sena
tor.
Mr. Wallace declared his depart-
?nt had found effective the dusting
ethod and also the new method
developed in Florida and had reque:
ed the co-operation of the War De
partment in the further testing of the
ssibility of airplane dusting.
“With these two major and highly
omising developments of the past
year to thoroughly test ou
son,” the secretary
scientific forces of the department
will bo fully occupied and thoi
been studying the problem feel
very confident that out of these
methods and the ones now in use
will be found a satisfactory combi
nation for practically all conditions.
The Agriculture Secretary’s letter
is in reply to one from the Senator
lcloslng a communication from a
instituent who expressed the be
lief that nothing had been done by
the department.
The damage from the weevil
ies from year to year and thi
er coming as it does just at the
ise of one of the most seriously
injurious seasons experienced in
cent years,” Mr. Wallace wrote,
doubt truly represents the state
mind of a great many people in the
South. Those, however, who, have
been closest to the problem realize
the difficulties with which
scientific workers have had to
tend in the development of control
for this insect and consider
rather that the advancements made
have been more than could be
represented at the
meeting.
This means that the bonus bill is
liable to be passed at the coming ses-
of Congress,” Col. Tillinghast L.
Huston, New York, national com-
niander of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, said after the meeting.
Col. Forbes called President Hard
ing by long distance telephone short
ly before going into the conference,
the course of his address re-
ferred to his conversation with the
President
“I called him up because it was sug
gested to me that the bonus might be

South in which the cotton production
acre is relatively low.
The fact that the Florida method
has been carried out successfully by
the ordinary share croppers and the
cotton production practically equal
to that before the weevil invasion,
seems to warrant the conclusion that
this will prove to be a cheap and
efficient method over a large az
the South. The department is just
at this time requesting co-operation
of the War Department l n the furth-
er testing of the possibility of aero
plane dusting.
“The remarkably successful re
sults obtained by this method seem
to abundantly Justify the additional
expense extensive test to bo carried
on this year which should determine
conclusively whether these machines
can be depended upon to materially
assist in the control of this pest.”
