For the past few weeks we have been accumulating records on the t emergence of the boll weevil from nearly all of the cotton states and are finding universally, as we forecasted some months ago, that the number of over-wintered weevils is far greater than usual; in fact, in many districts where accurate counts have been made it has been found that we have in the fields now as many weevils as are or dinarily preseilt a month later when the first summer-bred brood has start ed to appear. With anything like nor mal weather conditions this is going to mean a tremendously rapid in crease in the weevil damage, and this will have an important bearing on the program to be followed by those us ing calcium arsenate for the control of the weevil. In the first place it should be re membered that we recommend start ing poisoning when from ten to fif teen per cent of the cotton squares Shave been puncturedl by the weevil. * As a general rule this condition (does not arise until after the newvly bred weevils have started to emerge from the squares. This year, however, we have found many fieltis where there are already suficeient weevils present to destroy practically all squares as fast as formed. In other words, such cotton will never start blooming uin less the weevils are controlled, and from the very outset 50 per cent or more of the squares are punctured. Under such conditions it is undoubted ly going to be necessary to poison earlier than ever before. Of course, there, is no adlvantage in 'poisoning the cotton before the squares for'm, as the weevils are continuing to em erge fro mihibernation during this period andi furthermore they are do0 ing the crop no harm. llowvever, where such a heavy infestation oc curs it will be advisable to make the first application just as soon as the cotton starts squaring freely, or about * .the time the plants average from 4 to 5 squares each. The regular pois oning schedule should be started at that time andl continued along the lines- of the usual 'recommendations for controlling this early infestation of weevils.. Another very important eyect of this heavy infestation will be felt lat er in the season. When gie wveevils first emerge from hibernation and reach the, cotton field they move arounmd very little as long as they can find an ample supply of unpunc tured squares for their use, but just as soon as the infestation becomes sufmicently heavy to- puncture prac tically all squares these weevils start to move in search of fresh pastures. In an ordinary season this means that you usually have only the wee vils bred in your own cotton to con tend with until some time from the tlatter part of July to the last of Aug uist, depending on the locality. This year, however, this movement of mi pgration of weevils will probably start ranCe Saturday Nig COAT SUITS OF $6.25 $15.00 Coat Sui $7.50 $18.50 Coat Sui $9.25 $25.00 Coat Sui 12.50 $35.00 Coat Sui 17.50 $42.50 Coat Sui 1k, $1.50 value, for ._$1.19 lk, $2.00 value, f-or --$1.65 clue, for ----------$1.33 --- --- ----------21c ------- ----41c or ------.--- ------49c -------------- -21c ------------------28c McCollu: t. several weeks earlier than usual. Consequently, it will not only be nec essary for you to start poisoning ear lier to control your own infestation, but you should also expect that, be fore you have had time to mature the fruit which your plants have set dur ing this poriod of protection, you will begin to experience an immigration of weevils from unpoisoned cotton. Of course, this condition would not arise if every one in a district was successfully poisoning his cotton; but this will not be the case this year, and just as soon as all sbuares in the unpoisoned crops are punctured the migration to the poisoned fields will commence. This means that every (lay a large crop of new weevils will move into these poisoned fields, and it is going to take continuous, thorough poisoning to protect to ma turity the crop which has been al lowed to set by the earlier applica tions. These two facts mean just this: Successful weevil control this year is ,going to require more effort and more poison per acre than has ever been the case in the past. On the other hand, wherever the landl is sufficiently fertile to justify such an effort, there is much more assurance of profit from the operation than is usually the case. TIhe increase i nthe cost per acre brought about by the increased number of applications necessary wvill be far more than compensated for by the fact that the weevil damage with out poisoning will be far greater than normal, and thus the margin of profit on the operation is tremendously in creasedl. In other wvordls, a heavy weevil infestation such as we have this year means a greater expendliture lpe' acre for poisoning to successfully con trol it, but it also means a greater ac tual net prolit in dlollars and cents per acre from the poisoning operations. NIYSTlElUY SB!GN IN HII11SH SHOOTING Injured Mlan Defends His Wife Who Appears in Csurt With Discolored Eye Free Port, N. Y., June 27..--The mysterious shooting of Oscar A. H irsh, wealthy electrical con tractor, on the lawn of Rene Davies, former movie actress, late Saturday night, took another turn today when Mr's. H-aztel Hirsh, released on bail after having been accused of shooting her husband, took him ohme from the Mineola hospital to nusse him back to health. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hlirsh denied she had pulled the trigger in a scuffle which had followed their departur'e from a party given by Miss Davies, but neither said who had fired the shot-whether Mir. Hlirshi or a third party. In her first public statement since the party broke up in a wild scramble as the shot was heard on the quiet street, Mrs. Hlirsh said that, far from firing the shot, she was doing "every thing plossible to prevent it."

"You don't think I'd be fool enough to come back to a wife who had shot me, do you?" He was quot ed by his attorney as saying, "If she was the kind of a woman who would shoot, would she be the kind I could If she shot me I certainly would not have attempted to shield her." "I have been asked to make a statement," said Mrs. Hirsh this af ternoon, "but in my condition at this time I do not wish to say 'anything other than this: "It is silly for anyone to think that I would do anything to harm my husband. Our relations have been too close. My husband knows I was not responsible in any way for his being shot, and knows [ -lid everything possible to avoid his being shot by trying to save him. 1 (10 not care to go into other mat ters as that seems to be th2 sole matter of interest to the public.
