CHICAGO, July 16. Week-end approaching and some evening up is due. Otherwise no change in crop news. Cash corn and oats nervous and possibly unchanged to one cent higher. Southwest corn weak. One of the biggest cash grain concerns in the middlewest reports the edge is definitely off of export wheat. Bids are down 8 cents from yesterday. Buyers claim they are getting wheat at this reduction. The decline in all grains has been severe and a bulge would Beem overdue.

Boll JVeevil Infests Nearly Entire Cotton Belt Only Co-operation Can Control the Ravages of the Pest

By P. G. HOLDEN THE boll weevil is the most destructive insect enemy of the cotton plant. In 1.S92 It crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico near Brownsville, Texas. During the 28 years since then its Invasion of the United States has been practically unchecked, until now it covers almost the entire area of cotton production, only about 115,000 square miles being free of the pest at the close of 1919. The boll weevil is a decided menace to the prosperity and welfare of America. It presents a problem that must be met with patience, perseverance and co-operation. While the onward darch of the pest has not been stopped, we have learned by experience how to fight it and if we will all work together, and all act intelligently, there seems little reason to doubt that eventually we can almost, if not entirely, eradicate it. When the right methods arc used, cotton production under weevil conditions becomes almost normal. Best Way to Fight Pest. The best methods of fighting the weevil are as follows: 1. Pick the cotton as early in the fall as possible, and immediately chop the stalks and turn them Tinder. Not only will this return humus to the soil, but it will deprive the weevil of its food and force it into Its winter quarters In poor physical condition, making it unlikely that it will survive the winter. 2. Select good seed of early maturing varieties. Let your local farm adviser or your agriculture college advise you as to the bent variety for your locality. The earlier we pick our cotton, the earlier we can plow under the stalks and cut off the food supply of the weevil. 3. Plant as early as the soil is warm on well-drained land. 4. Begin cultivating early and cultivate frequently until picking time. 5. Hunt for and destroy the weevils as soon as they appear on the young plants. When the squares begin falling to the ground, be careful to have

mate as to the number of wounded. The rebel band is understood to be in command of Ricardo Gonzalez, former general in the federal army and a nephew of General Pablo Gonzalez, former , candidate for the Mexican presidency. Lieutenant Colonel Manuel Ortega is federal commander at Nuevo Laredo.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex., July 16 Amplification of official reports that General Pablo Gonzalez, former candidate for the Mexican presidency, had been arrested in Monterey at the order of Provisional President De La Huerta, on the ground that "Gonzalez" was the "intellectual director" of an alleged disloyal movement, was being sought by local Mexican consular officials today. Has Been Prominent Figure. General Gonzales has been a prominent figure in Mexican military affairs for several years. In the revolt against President Porflrio Diaz he took an active part, and later was a military

leader under Provisional President Francisco Madero. He Joined General Carranza in the latter's revolt against President Victoriano Huerta. Several Months ago he became an active candidate to succeed President Carranza. When the recent victorious revolt against President Carranza began gaining momentum General Gonzales threw his forces with those of General Alvaro Obregon. In the political maneuvering which followed the fall of the Carranza regime, General Gonzales announced the withdrawal of his candidacy. The present cnarges against the general, according to President De LaHuerta's communication, are based upon his alleged activity in the military plans of several officers suspected of disloyalty. An attack upon Monterey, Wednesday, and yesterday's unsuccessful efforts by General Richardo Gonzalez to capture Nuevo Laredo are

mentioned in the statement, which says : I "From sufficient data now in my

possesion, I have reached the con elusion that the Intellectual director ol this movement is tne general of di vision, Pablo Gonzalez."

This will destroy many of the pests and prevent their spreading to other parts of the field. These methods of fighting tho boll weevil have made It possible to save one of the greatest of American crops from total destruction. Poisoning the Weevil. Early attempts to poison the weevil were far from successful, but In 1918 the Dltla laboratory at Tallulah, Louisiana, conducted experiments on 35,000 acres of cotton, using calcium arsenate in the form of a poison dust spray. The results were considered satisfactory and were made public. Last year many cotton growers tried the plan with such success that It is more or less generally believed that this method of combating the boll weevil will spread rapidly. But the use of a poison spray calls for properly devised machinery; it involves many details. For these reasons it is advisable that those who desire to use the method should secure full Information from the laboratory at Tallulah. The weevil eats nothing but cotton and goes Into winter quarters closai to the field, hiding in old stumps, piles of trash or wherever it can find protection. Only a small per cent survive the winter; very few that go into winter quarters poorly fed live till spring. Those that do survive, feed on the buds of the plants from the time tha plants are very young until the squares are formed. When the weevil first appears in the spring it is very weak and is easily picked off the plants. This work is usually done by children, but a thorough job will pay big r& turns.

STATE HOUSE

(Continued from Page One) A number of measures passed by the eenate at Its session last night were reported to the house. These were referred to committees. The Republican members of the house spent six hours In caucus yesterday trying to decide on a bill to take care of the situation created by the supreme court's decision declaring invalid horizontal increases in tax assessments made by the tax board. Late at night the caucus gave up the task and left the matter to a committee composed of a member from each of the 13 congressional districts, and told the committeemen to be ready with a report at 8 o'clock this morning. Yesterday They Marked Time. Little progress was made by either house of the general assembly yesterday, the members being occupied the greater part of the day in conferenco on the tax question. Following the meeting of the houso Republicans at 8 o'clock this morning, both houses of the general assembly were to convene at 10 o'clock and continue their consideration of the numerous bills which have been in-

Introduced. Practically all of the meas

ures which will come before the special session have been introduced. The house was to have for its consideration a number of bills passed by the senate yesterday under suspension of the rules. One of the most important is the appropriation bill for the maintenance of state institutions. The bill has already passed the house, but was amended in the senate so that $650,000 was added to the total appro priations made in the house bill.

NOMINATION

(Continued from Tage One) Harding by the Hartford Times, was rent the following reply: "I answer no."

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 16. Governor James M. Cox today promised a delegation of the national woman's party that he will give all his possible time, influence and strength toward procuring a ratification of the suffrage amendment by Tennessee. He also advised them to appoint a committee to confer with him on a plan of action. The Democratic nominee will not arrive in Washington for his Sunday conference with President Wilson until Saturday afternoon. The governor today decided to leave Columbus on a later train this evening than had been originally planned throwing his arrival in Washington several hours later.

Since their repulse no word had been received here as to the whereabouts of the band, said to number about 300 men, but local observers were of the opinion that another attack would not be attempted. American army officials were watching the situation closely. Reinforcements for the units here were reported enroute to Laredo.
