SAYS WEEVIL SITUATION
MORE FAVORABLE THAN EVER
Secretary Wallace States Department
Finds Dusting and Florida Me
thod Effective-Extensive Tests.
Washington, Dec. -The Steps taken
by the Department of Agriculture to
combat the cotton boll weevil have
brought about a situation "more fav
orable than ever before," Secretary
Wallace informed Senator Harris, of
Georgia, in a letter made public to
day by the Senator.
Mr. Wallace declared his depart
ment had found effective the dust
ing method and also the new meth
od developed in Florida and had
requested the co-operation of the
War Department in the further test
ing of' the possibility of airplane
dusting.
"With these two major and high
ly promising developments of the
past year to thoroughly test out
the coming season," the Secretary
wrote, "the scientific forces of the
department will be fully occupied
and those who have been studying
the problem feel very confident
that out of these methods and the
new ones now in use will be found
a satisfactory combination for prac
tically all conditions.
The agriculture Steretary's letter
was in repliy to one from Senator
Harris enclosing a communication
from a con constituent who expressed
the belief that half had not been
by the department which should
have been done,"
The danage from the cotton boll
weevil varies considerably from
year to year and this letter com
inl4 as it does just at the close of
one of the most seriously injuri
ous seasons experienced in recent
years," Mr. Wallace wrote, "no
:loubt truly represents that state of
mind of a great many people in the
South. Those, however, who have
been closet to the prablem realize
the dificults with which N the
scicntific workers have had to con
end if the development of control
neasures for this insect and con
ider rather that the advancements
lave been more than expected.
"In fact, just at the present time
he situation is more favorable
han ever before. The dusting
nethod has in the face of heavy
nfestation of this year proved it
elf capable of satisfactorily pro
ecting the prodluctioni of cotton in
arge areas of the South. This
nethod seems to be especially
lidapted for' the more productive
lreas and( where the staple cottons
aye been dlevelopedl, and in those
egions where the yield per acre
s half a bale or more the method
as been proven satisfactory.
".Just recently, as you no doubt
:now, l)r. Newell and Mr. George
smithI, of the Florida experiment
Lation have published a bulletin
civ'ing a comiplete andl detailed ac
ont of a long series of experi
nents inl the use' ot another mneth
dI of control whlich appears to be
e ulijarly adhaptedl to meet the
ondi tins~ in the Florida region
in in ('ther' regions of the South
n which the c'ott~on produl~ctio 1( per
terle is rebiitively low.
"T'he fact that the F~lorida meth
1m1 be'en c'arriedl out successfully
>ythe o)rdlinarly share'( croppers

LESS FOR EDUCATION
MORE (9R LUXURY
Washington, Dec.-(The 'Capital
News Service).-"Education is thq
vital element on the success of -any
nation," said the Hon. John J. Tigert,
United States Commissioner of Edur
cation, in a public speech, pointing to
vocational- training dind industrial
teaching in such manufacturing cent
ers as Detroit as an example of:'the
practical value of educationy
Continuing, the commissioner quo
ted statistics proving that the one 'and
one-half billion dollars spent on edu
cation in the Nation last year, whil9
a large sum in itself, was pitiful. when
compared with the twenty-two. billions
spent for luiuries.
"From these statistics," he said, "it
would appear that the- country cares
more for chewing gum, cigars and
cigarettes, and cosmetics than it does
for education." ' '
Educators have seized upon this
comparison as a striking argument in
favor of the pa'ssage of the Towner
Sterling bill, now before Congress,
creating a Department of Education,
with a Secretary in the President's
Cabinet. The bill appropriates 'a hun
dred mililon dollars to be spent among
the states in the aid of education. One
hundred millions is the two hundred
and twentieth aprt of last year's coun
try-wide bill for luxurieg.
Dr. Tigert drew attention to the
j'insiduous propaganda" spread by
"some agency" against the expendi
ture of large sums by the Govern
ment in aid of education, and termed
the proper and wise use of money in
education as the salvation of the
country against many of the evils of
ignorance, intolerance, and fanaticism,
which menace its prosperity.
