In the opinion of i hose who have given the subject invostis'aHnn. it is the leading )roblem before that section today. The presence of the boll weevil is a actor that must be reckoned with in I ill future cotton production, as it in j :very probability has come to stay, j This means, that in order to grow cot-1 1 on, the grower must adopt a new j ' 1 ourse of procedure as respects his nethods of culture, and acquaint him- 1 (eIf with, and put into practice, meas- ' ares of weevil control, if he is to nake a crop. How to grow cotton under weevil I :onditions has been well worked out. J The Bureau of Entomology of the U. j 1 >. Department of Agriculture has >een studying and investigating the . ife history and habits of the boll < \-??*?il ever since the insect crossed the Rio Grande River from Mexico in , 1892. In the meantime, careful research and experiments have been made with the view of determining J 1 vhat methods of control, both direct ; and indirect, can be used most eco/ lomically and effectively. While no advice or method has been found :o entirely exterminate the weevil, the Department authorities have demonstrated beyond a doubt, that the appli nation of Calcium Arsenate, properlj ipplied, will keep the insect in check ong enough to allow the cotton plant to develop a full set of bolls. , There are those who believe that the measures of control as recommended and demonstrated by the Department of Agriculture, are the best :hat have been proposed.

Iron is an essential element in th food of man and the higher animal: and the best way to take it into th system is not in the form of puis an tinctures, but by the consumption c vegetable foocX containing the metal An exhaustive study of the distribu tion of iron in various parts of plant has been made by L. Maquenne an R. Cerighelli, whose report appear in the Comptes Rendus (Paris) of th French Academy of Sciences. The say, in substance: "Iron exists in plants in two en tirely distinct forms: that of the in soluble peroxide, which is deposite by evaporaton or chemically fixe upon the cellular membranes, an that of. an organic compound. Thi latter form is the only one of im portance, but it may be masked b the other if the latter predominates "Our records show that potatoes carrots, and the leaves of spinac!

Finally, iron, like copper, is found to accumulate in the r\ kernels of the seeds enclosed by fleshy fruits, at the expense of the surrounding shell and even of the pulp.

This affords fresh proof of the well-known necessity of iron in the food supply of plants and offers, furthermore, increased presumption in favor of the idea that copper may be an equally useful element."
