"V? WILSON MAY HAVE NEXT NOMINATION. ? ?? (Continued from page 1, column 1.) he apparently will have to do to obtain the nomination against the hostility of most of the Republican leaders of the East. "Open Convention" Foreseen. There is every indication that no I candidate will have a majority of the delegates and that the Republican convention will be of old-fashioned jtg? I open variety with the nomination made by a combination after the conf rention meets. This gives a potential value to the "favorite son" candidates, of which there are a considerable number and opens the way to a possible combinav tion of senators who have booms under way in their respective states.

Goodrich; Senator Frank B. Kellogg, of Minnesota; Senator Poindexter, of Washington, and pos sibly Senator A. B.

Republicans brieve, finally will be developed to meet the present some. what chaotic situation. . - . Sentiment for Mr. Taft. 4^ ' < In a discussion of possible candidates, mention must be made of Wilfe Cam H. Taft. The sentiment for the ^ . nomination of the one-time president is not strong but it is widespread. In every state Republicans who are strong supporters of the league of nafefe Hons speak of Mr. Taft. His nomina. tion seems likely and would only be possible in case of the complete defeat of the attempt of the present Re-SSKi publican majority in the senate to bf adopt reservations to the covenant of ' the league. f Mention should also be made of r Gov. Lynn J. Frazer, of North Da.gjj|r kota, who will be a candidate of the Non-Partisan league for the Republi' can nomination. This is of import' ance that Governor Frazier will get J the nomination, but because his canj didacy will serve as a starting point \; for an attempt to write some radical planks into the Republican national ^. . platform. .-'.C. - Governor Frazier will have the del-1 egation from North Dakota, where the control of the state government and ??'? the Republican party machinery, and he will have some delegates and per. haps a majority in Minnesota, where the league is now making great progress in an-attempt to get control of J*!-the Republican organization in that Bp-; state. The Democratic situation is absolutely dependent upon the action of m- President Wilson. If he wants a renomination he can have it. Every Democratic leader aproached agreed fnpon that. Many of them believe that he may f . he a candidate, but only in case the s^iate rejects the peace treaty or A amends it to the point that he con aiders a rejection. Isidor B. Dock?teeman, from California, and Col. S. . B. Amidon. vice chairman of the Dem ( * ocratic national committee, were two of the leaders I talked to who had no v hesitation in expressing their belief f V V that the president should be a candidate if it should be necessary for him to make an appeal to the people to get; the league of nations covenant through. Despite the hostility of a minority ?* Democrats, for the mosf part sympathizers with the cause of Irish in?. dependence, most of the leading Democrats would prefer the president as a candidate because of their belief that they would have the best choice to win with him, despite the traditional opposition to a third term. Ac; ^ - cording to their view the Demcratic / party to be successful in the next national election must have the support of & large part of the labor and radical elements. They believe that Pres ident Wilson would be able to get both. Mr. McAdoo unquestionably is the - ? -? - a - 44-U I leading Democratic caaiaaie, wuu ; the president eliminated. Most of the leaders are for him, and the trip of Homer S. Cummings, Democratic national chairman, led to a widespread ; belief that Mr. McAdoo is the adminy istration and organization candidate, whether Mr. Cummings intended to leave that impression or not. Mr. Palmer and Gov. Cox, however, have many supporters. All y three of the Democratic candidates * are already announced for speeches in the West and Middle West this fall. - ?James A.

(Continued from page 1, column 6.) powder, and in gauging their applications, the farmers should pay more attention to satisfying themselves that they are accomplishing this than to the exact poundage required. Amount per acre. "However, they will find that they positively can not give a satisfactory application with the machinery now available with an average of less than five pounds per acre per application, and no man should expect to go ove> an a< re with less material than this. In fact, he is going to find it takes i considerable care to dust the cotton | thoroughly and still not use more j than th's amount to the acre. Con j sequently every man planning to poison the weevil should provide himself with five pounds for every application he is going to give. I "The number of applications required for the season is quite an important point but one upon which it is very difficult to give generalized advice. In the first place, this depends entirely upon the type of place upon which the operation is conducted. For example, in the Mississippi delta, where the majority of experiments have been conducted in the past, the average plantation contains some 500 or more acres of cotton in one organization and it is usually found that on emerging from hibernation in the spring the weevils distribute themselves very unevenly over this area. This results in more or less of a concentration of weevils on fields immediately adjoining the most favorable hibernation quarters and under such conditions the best method of control is to concentrate the poisoning, on these most heavily infested cuts, thus not only benefitting tjiem but protecting the remainder of the cotton by preventing weevil migration later in the season. Under such conditions it will undoubtedly be necessary to give the highest cuts five or six treatments and from this number of applications will decrease on the more lightly infested cuts, until those most distant from hibernation quarters will probably not require any treatment whatever. Use on Small Farms. "On the average small farm, however, the problem om poisoning is an entirely different one. Here, generally speaking, the area is so small that it is impracticable to select the most heavily infested spots and treat them. In fact, it has often been found that the weevils are rather generally distributed over the entire acreage. The exact number of applications necessary depends entirely upon local and seasonable conditions, but for the present it is best to plan to utilize about four applications. "So far two types of, dusting machinery have been developed. These are the large powder dusters and the small hand dusters. "The power duster is a horsedrawn, motoroperated machine, blowing dust from five nozzles, spaced 4? feet apart. Thus the nozzles cover approximately five rows. However, the fog of dust created by this machine is generally sufficient to cover two more rows. Consequently, as a general thing it is best to plan to take seven rows at a trip with the machine, although in case the cotton is very dry and there is a wind blowing, better results will be secured by reducing the feed slightly and taking only five rows at a time. This machine will probably cover about six or seven acres an hour, although this, of course, depends upon the exact nature of the land being treated. It is proDaoie tnat no more man teu hours of operation can be averaged per day, which means about 60 or 70 acres per day per machine and is as much as can be safely counted upon at the present. "Owing to the necessity of repeated applications, the acreage allotted to one of these machines should be limited to an amount which it can safely cover every week owing to interruptions due to bad weather conditions, etc., which are bound to occur, daily operation can not be anticipated and the best allotment of acreage for one of these machines is probably about 300 to 350 acres. A slightly larger acreage may be handled by a single machine, but it is very dangerous to risk this, as delays in operation would easily mean that the situation would get beyond control. Hand Machines. "Several satisfactory models of hand guns are now on the market and may be purchased for about $15 each. Five acres is about the maximum which can be expected from one of these machines in a single day. Furthermore, these machines are subject to frequent breakage and similar delays, which cause considerable loss of time in their operation, and it is best to have one of these machines for every 15 acres of cotton to be treated by them. "The time of day of operation is a very important question and at the outset it should be understood that the only point to consider in this connection is that of existing weather conditions. It is extremely desirable to conduct all poison operations when the air is calm and the plants are moist. "No poisoning should be started before the plants start to square briskly, and it is best to wait until the weevils become fairly abundant before starting treatment. Owing to the high natural shedding of the cotton plant, a certain amount of square puncturing by weevils can be permitted without any danger to the crop, as the squares shed from plants due to this puncturing simply replace those that were shed anyway in the absence of the weevils. For this reason, practically all work so far has been based on percentage of squares punctured, and at this gives a very convenient criterion for measuring the boll weevil abundance in- the field it would be well for as many men as possible to utilize this system. Time to Use Poison. "The usual method followed* is to tm trt thp fnnr corners and the cen ter of a cotton field and to examine 200 squares at each point, noting the percentage of these which have been weevil punctured. Generally speaking, it advisable to poison when this percentage reaches about 10 per cent, and to continue'often enough to keep the percentage below 25 or 30 until late in the season, at whicfc time it may be allowed to run much higher without injury to the crop. "The size of the plant is no index whatever to the time of starting the application, and the only thing to watch is the weevil abundance in the field. "Where a field is of any considerable size it will frequently be found that the weevils emerging in the spring concentrate more or less on the cotton immediately adjoining brush and along ditch banks, etc. For this reason, it is* often possible to confine the first one or two applications to this heavier infested area along the edge of the field and to skip the portions of the field more distant from the sources of infestation. Later in the season, as the weevils increase, it may be necessary to cover the entire field. "The time Interval between appl'cations will depend upon many conditions, but generally speaking, it will probably be best to plan to treat about once a week. In fact, it may be advisable to use a shorter interval in extreme cases, while in other cases where effective control has been secured earlier a longer time interval i can be utilized . The poison persists on the'plants for a week or more, but it will be found that there is so much new growth produced every week and thus affording unpoisoned tissue for the weevils that it is best to repeat the application at the weekly interval, regardless of weather conditions." It is believed that this method, if strictly followed, must certainly mean the death of the destructive weevil. It is the last word in both practical and scientific research. iti ?
