MESSAGE FROM GRAVE
Missing Document of Value at Last
Found in Frosen Fields of Alaska.
Regina, Sask.?Soaked by rains,
buried beneath the snows blown
about the praUies by the winds of
35 years, a document which settles
a point that history leaves in doubt
has just been foun4 near Regina.
It is an affidavit sworn to by
Corpl. Hugh J. A. Davidson, of the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police, and
affirms that the first shot of Louis
Reil's second rebellion in 1885 was
fired by his half-breed followers.
Some writers have contended that the
whites precipitated the conflict that
drenched western Canada in blood. ,
.The first battle of the war was
fought at Duck Lake, a village near
the North Saskatchewan river at the
northern limit of the lands which
were left by Canada to the Hudson
Bay Company in 1870 and are now
being closed out^to farm settlers.
Major Crozier, in command of 80
settlers and Northwest Mounted
Police, fell in near ^he little settlement
with a greatly superior force
of rebels. While a parley was being
held between the leaders firing began.
The fight lasted an hour. The
half-breeds tied on their horses, carrying
away seven wounded, but leaving
twelve dead on the field.
Reil's victory caused the Indians
to join the insurrection, but it also
sminHeH its nwn death knell. The
settlers rose in defense of their
homes, troops hurried from the east
find the rebellion was crushed. Riel
was hanged at Regina. i
Speaking like a voice from the
grave, Corporal Davidson swears
in his affidavit that the first shot
cume from one of Reil's half breeds
crouching in the wolf willows and
whistled past his head. "Until
Major Crozier gave the order," he
says, "no shot was fired by any of
our party/' \
The weather-beaten old affidavit
was sworn to before Stephen Brewster,
a notary public at Pfince Alberta,
May 30, 1885. Despite wind
and weather, it 4s supposed, it was
lost at Prince Albert, it had traveled
250 miles when its wind-blown journeyings
ended at Regina.

AN INTERESTING LETTER IN
REGARD TO BOLL WEEVIL
I Mr. J. S. Wannamaker recently
sent out inquiries to states that have
been visited by the boll weevil asking
the general effects on the prosperity
-of those states of the visitation of the
weevil. Mr. Wannamaker says that
the replies which he has received are
to the effect that'In most instances
the weevil has proved a blessing in
disguise. It has been followed by
crop diversification. Following is a
letter from P. L. Downs, chairman
Agricultural Committee:
I Temple, Tex., Sept. 17, 1920.
Mr. J. S. Wannamaker, President, '
American Cotton Association, St.
| Matthews, S. C.
Dear Mr. Wannamaker:
Replying to your Inquiry of the!
10th with reference to the depreda-!
tion of the boll weevil in your cotton'
section, I beg to say that I can fully
realize the posiiton of your people
and understand their problems, be-J
?? ? Lmmmm ill I
tttUBO W Q littTC UCCU All VUiVU^U A
similar condition. !
Quite a number of years ago. I
happened to be traveling in Mexico,'
making an extended trip over that
republic. Seeing the awful devastation
wrought in that country by the
boll weevil, I became very much
interested in the situation. Upon
my return home, I submitted to in-'
terview, and wrote direct articles to
the various farm papers and most
promient daily papers in the state*1
urging that the state and national j
authorities should take every precaution
possible to keep the pests
from eoming across the Rio trrande
river, ' emphasizing the fact that
when once they crossed the Rio'
Grande the cotton crop of the entire
religion would be subjected, soon or1
late, to the devastating pests.
No attention, apparently, was paid
to the matter, at least, the subject
matter was regarded too lightly, or
the expected depredation too remote
to admit of any worrying on the
part of those who should have been
interested.
Subsequently, just as I expected,'
reports came in from the lower
counties in Texas, tributary to the
Rio Grande, that the boll weevil was
depredating in those countries. I
again urged the farmers in those sections,
through the public prints, to
take every precaution possible in the
matter of poisoning, or cultural
methods to protect themselves, and
stamp out the weevil, and prevent
them from going further east and
north, and urged the prominent
papers of southern Texas to give all
possible publicity to the necessity of
stamping them out as promptly, and
as completely as possible. I felt sure
that they would gradually spread
until their work of destruction had
covered the entire cotton belt. The
farmers did not look upon them with
any dread, and consequently took no
action whatever toward, combating
the pest. Each year the insects would
cover a few more counties, continuing
to come further east and
north, until all of south, and lower
central Texas, and east Texas was
covered, when they crossed the Red
river and got into Louisiana.
_ Col. Marsten of the latter state
bame over to see me and spent several
days with me, looking into the
matter or tne destruction, or yievention,
of devastation by these in.
sects, and the best means of destroying
them. He returned home, and
inaugurated vigorous efforts toward
poisoning them, and made an intensive
campaign toward combatting
the spread of the pests, urging the
co-operation of the national government
imhis endeavors. He sent me
numerous articles contributed to the
various journals in that state, and
otherwise indicating his earnest efforts
directed along these lines.
After the insects had invaded
Louisiana, Mississippi and tributary!
sections there was a lull in their de-'
vastating work in this 'state. Per-,
sonally, I never did lose sight of the
fact that they were here, and were

here, and were destined to stay *
here indefinitely. During the lapse (
of years since they first entered Texai \
I there hare been periods when they t
have given us little concern. During t
the years of severe drouth when the \
hot suns, and the long, dry days and t
nights have prevailed, they have
not multiplied so numerously, and t
have not bqen so effective in their 1
disastrous results; but during the d
wet years, and when the conditions have
been favorable for their multi- a
plication and for their devastating a
work, they have wrought havoc, and s
have continued their destructive i
work. t
I think they are here to stay now, i;
and I believe that the average j
farmer in this country, who expects li
to contlnne his farming operations
for a livelihood, should equip himself a
with the Implements necessary t< p
their destruction, just as naturally t
as he provides the implements neces* s
sary to the proper cultivation of his c
crops. " v
In Sovf\ Texas, where farming is t
conducted >Ny certain parties on a n
big scale, *.y go into the crop year
with their testers, and their poison *
?? now ?f their crop work, and crop o
expenditure, and the records showjs
that these people always make a d
good crop of cotton; but where they e
do not poison they fail to make it. s
The farmer is loath to undertake Any c
effort or expense unless he IS com- v
pelled to do so. He waits until the o
last minute in the hope of being able $
to save that expense and effort. Even t<
when the weevil appears, he fancies p
that his cotton is going to pull tl
through without assuming that ex- t<
pense, and almost before he realiezs tl
it, the insects have partially, or com- c
pletely, destroyed his crop. p
In the later part of July 1 made u
a trip over east Texas and South h
Texas, to make an official visit and e
inspection of the various agricul- y
turai experiment stations, over there, o
being president of the Governing b
Board of the Texas Agricltural Ex- tl
periruent Stations. I had previously, fl
in June, visited some of the west a
Texas Experiment Stations. I never a
saw such a magnificent prospect for a
an abundant crop in all my resi- n
dence in Texas at that partioular b
time, in every section visited the o
cotton fields appeared to be one c
continuous bloom, the stalks being f,
loaded down with squares and n
blooms, and continually putting on e
as abundantly as the stalk could
otnnri Everybody was jubilant over
the prospects that Texas was going
to make the most tremendous crop
in her history. Within the last thirty
GAL TWO
days the crop in this immediate section
has deteriorated at least twentyfive
per cent, and possibly more, and reports
from other sections confirm *
this conclusion. At some points the
crop has been completely destroyed,
while in other sections the crop was
so far advanced and the bolls sufficiently
matured to prevent such "
serious inroads by the pests. 1
The only salvation for the cotton
farmer, in my opinion, is to get his
cotton planted as early as possibly,
and to matrity at the earliest pos.
sible moment, before the insects can _
become sufficiently numerous to resi- y
ously attack it. Some will contend
that the weevil cannot b^. subdued by
poison; but the results of the activities
at the Experiment Station at _
College Station, ind in other sections ^
where the work has been intelligently
directed, conclusively proves
that the work of destruction can be
prevented through such poisoning. At
the Experiment Station of the A. &
M. College certain plats that have _
been poisoned showed that the crop h
has turned out abundantly, while adJoining

iV'here the boll worms hare affected. .

In sections where the boll weevils, .

that the success of the' farmer ivB

that sane and safe farming in
