*v'i- : V TO STOP BOIL WEEVIL I" SMITH WANTS 1IARK1ER HEI/T. j y South Carolinian Thinks Invasion Could Ik? Checked by Establish- v ing Such a Zone. Washington, July 9.?Plans for ti the federal government to raise a r barrier against the boll weevil of the Southwestern cotton states invading I the Atlantic coast states, are being t< drafted by Senator Smith of South Carolina. Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture is said to d have given the proposition his tentative approval. t' Senator Smith's plan is for the federal government, with state co- o operation, to prohibit the growing of cotton in a belt which would separate the Atlantic coast states from t< the Southwestern states. As the b boll weevil migrates only from cotton field to cotton field, the senator be- w lleves this belt would save the states to the east of it from the pest which fi has cost cotton raisers to the southwest millions of dollars annually. According to investigation already ti made the narrowest belt where a bar- lj rler might be raised would be in Alabama, between the mountains near the Tennessee line and the gulf, fo This would be a distance of about t) iov miies. ine dou weevil already p has swept over Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and is said to be traveling eastward into Alabama, t] 8enator.Smith is preparing to urge upon the senate that this narrow ^ belt will be a practical barrier if immediate action is taken to establish ft. If effective it would protect most of Alabama and all of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina from the boll weevil. S1 The barrier to be effective must be jj 60 miles wide, it Is believed. The growing of cotton in that zone would y be prohibited, but the farmers could raise any other crops. p Senator Smith's plan is to have p the federal government compensate the farmers in this zone for not planting cotton. He is investigating ^ the action of the federal government in stamping out yellow fever in p Louisiana and in establishing forest reserves for the conservation of resources in order to have precedents 8i for his plan. b Senator Smith yesterday consulted 8enator Kern of Indiana, the Democratic leader, and won his promise 0 of approval of a feasible plan to accomplish the desired object. fi HELP THE NEWSPAPER II A Few Rules to Observe When Writ- v in# For Publication. Exchange. Nearly every person has occasion P at times when he feels called upon to write Bome article for publication C In the newspaper. A lot of times he n or she is disappointed at not seeing * the article in print. To insure your article appearing in the newspaper you wish it to, observe these rules ^ and most of the time your piece will be printed. ! First, and most important of all, send the news when it is fresh. No paper can afford to publish news 11 after it is known to everybody in the community. Don't wait a week or Sl so before writing what you have, but send it right off. Second, write on one side of your ii paper only, and do not abbreviate or leave for the editor to till in. h Third, do not write editorials, or in any otner way give your opinion about th emattera you are writing of. xv The editor of the paper is paid to do that. (?) Fourth, always be sure that the article you send in comes under the . head "news." For example, after a J death has been published a long ar- f ticle upon the good character, and other good attributes of the dead, is not news, it is an obituary, and has to be paid for. The newspaper al- tl ways sympathizes with the bereaved w but they can't publish personal ar- il tides free. Firth, always sign your name to the article you send in. Your name does not necessarily have to be published, but the editor must know who it is from. ( c Here's Hoping. William Johnson, in American Mag- t, azine. Today you get up with a scrowl on ti your face, a lump in your stomach, a weight on your soul. Drizzling rain d dampens everything. It's soggy under foot. "Beastly weather," you mutter if to yourself. "A bad day today," you persistently and pessimistically if say to everyone you meet. w You feel! There is no such thing as a bad day. Good days and bad days exist only in your own head, tl The weather has nothing to do with it. Each day is what you make it qi for yourself. Bad weather is only d, an unfortunate opinion.

The said t Journal of the American Medical hold 1 Association in a recent issue quotes Bchoo from an article by Trof. Francis E. 16, 1 Lloyd which explains the chemistry 8uch of this ripening process and how it sonal is brought about. He explains that exlilb /ruits, the astringency of which in tratic g the unripe state is due to tannin, to vo p after ripening contain just as much closir tannin as before, but that it has un- er1' dergone a combination with some i I other substance which prevents the j soliitlon of the tannin in the mouth n nil tience nhviotoc (ta nctrln anr COUn ^ taste and action. This effect may be cat brought about, in the case of dates ??m j and persimmons, by means of heat, ' alcohol, carbon dioxld or acetic acid. R , Tannin readily dissolves in water or in the Juices of the mouth. Tt exists in such fruits as dates and persimmons in separate little sacs or mem- ra 1 branous cells which swell and hurst when brought into contact with wa- ! 1 ter, thus permitting the tannin to escape; the familiar astringent bit- . ter taste is the result. When the ' p > natural ripening process takes place or when heat or any of the chemi- ( Sj cal agents named is applied, a eoagu- j lation of the contents of the tannin J f sacs takes place, so that when the , ( fruit is eaten the tannin is not dis- , 5 solved at all or is so slowly dissolved , OS that the bitter, astringent taste is not observed. The case of the Pali j fomia oranges recently condemned ) by the federal government under the ' food and drugs act does not come in 1 the same class. Oranges have no starch to be converted into sugar; j hence the sweating process to which these oranges were subjected merely colored them artificially instead of ( 3 HnoniriP thorn Tnrlrmrl thp frroun H KM on which tho government seized and , disposed of the fruit mentioned above i was that It was mlsbranded as nat- j urally ripened fruit.
