A. F. Conradi, entomologist, and V V. Williams, until recently assoeiated with B. It. Coad at the Delta Laboratory and now with the Extension Service to conduct poisoning demonstrations in this state, Director Long issued a statement on the boll weevil situation to the effect that many of the insects now present on cotton in various parts of the state are not boll weevils but cowpea pod weevils, and that farmers need not become panicky over the present now of abundant boll weevils, since the real loss to be expected depends on weather conditions in June and Julj. Director Long's statement, which should tend to temper the alarm now felt by many, is given below: "A great majority of the weevils in most of the cotton fields at this time are cowpea pod weevils and not boll weevils. These insects in most cases look so very much alike that it is difficult for the average man to distinguish them. The cowpea pod weevil is not primarily a cotton pest but occurs on cotton only temporarily in the absence of cowpeas. This pest is most injurious along the line from Barnwell to Marlboro county. In this belt it is t xpeeted every season at this time, : ml the most successful practice is to ' delay chopping of young cotton until the attacks are over. Wherever these insects attack cotto 1 that has been cession four days apart. Infestation counts are easily made by anone and directions art furnished by the Extension Service.

Summer Weather Main Factor. 1 "The fact that the boll weevil pass1 ?ci the winter in groat numbers and may be expected in cotton fields at th s ^ time in unusual abundance, does not necessarily mean great damage to the cotton crop. Situations like this have occurred before in the history of the weevil in this country, where they came out of winter-quarters early and in great numbers, causing a panicky condition among the tarmers. The loss that we may expect depends on the weather conditions of June and July. "With the approach of hot weather tlic present generation of weevils may yet he practically destroyed, so that the abandoning: of a cotton cro|? at this time could hardly be justified by the records. The cotton should be given frequent and shallow cultibation to keep down the weeds and to air th soil. As the bulk of the cotton crop in South Carolina is made by share croppears, the women and children should be used to pick weevils, and this should be so supervised that it b done with great thoroughness, other wise it has no value whatever. "The damage done by weevils injuring the bud at this time is frequently overestimated, the only effect being slightly delaying the growth of thi plant.

Assistant Secretary of Commerce Plans World Tour A world-wide tour in behalf of American trade and the development and protection of the fur seal and sal - j nion industries of Alaska is planned by Assistant Secretary of Commerce Huston. Accompanied by five other governmental officials and two special aides, Secretary Huston plans to sail from Seattle on June 17 on the Coast Guard Cutter Mojave which has been detailed by the secretary of the treasury to transport the party. The party is scheduled to stop at about JO different points in Alaska before proceeding to Japan, from which place a number of the members will return to the United States. The itinerary will include visits to the Commander Islands and Robben Islands which are respectively the breeding grounds of the Russian and Japanese fur seal hfrrds referred to in the Fur-Seal Treaty. For a number of years sinie the war practically no information has been received regarding the Russian Seal Islands. It is the intention of Mr. Huston to continue to points in China, India and Kurope, returning to the Uhited States by way of Great Britain shortly before Christmas.

They numberet some 300,000 at the time of the arm istice. While the marjority held onlj war-time commissions, there were t large number of veterans for whon the lifting smoke of the conflict re vealed that they had suddenly beei uprooted from their chosen career: and were forced to begin again ii new fields. It was especially diffi cult for the aged officers, who wen no longer vigorous and adaptabl enough to battle effectively in ai economic maelstrom already burden ed with keen competition. The German army and navy ii peftce times included an active ofli cers' corps of 65,760, of whom 60,961 were in the military forces, Whei the war broke out, this list was aug mented by 270,000 of those who wer retired or on reserve. In additioi there was the commissioned staff o the medical branches numbering 33, 406.. The total loss in the corp amounted to about 65,000 killed (a;;< 96,213 wounded. Since the Treaty of Versailles per mitted the retention of but 4,000 of ficers in the Reichswehr, a vast ma jority of the war survivors becam factors for absorption in civilian pur suits. Today they are to be found i nearly every walk of life, some hav ing even resorted to the positions c waiter and porter in order to gain livelihood. Some were connected wit trade, labor, or industry through fam ily ties and thus found situation comparatively easily. Others returr ed to official positions, and a part en listed in the newly-organized Securi ty Police. A considerable section of the e# officers turned to university callings particularly could they be seen a judicial and medical lectures and i polytechnic schools. In the first p? riod of transition, some worked i subordinate executive positions as as sistants and some at manual laboi even as miners.

Very few left th country, however, it is said, and th charge that German ex-officers sine the war have joined foreign armie and navies is regarded here as un founded.

Although the next presidential election is more l_ than two years distant, there have been various indications during the past few weeks that the political pot in Mexico is even now commencing I to boil. President Obreeron has been called II w upon frequently of late to give offin cial assurance that full guarantees will be given voters and, speaking r with direct reference to the congressional elections to be held next August, the chief executive has stated ren peatedly that an earnest attempt will , be made to permit the voters of Mexn ico to express their sentiments with-.. !_ out fear or hindrance. t The newspaper El -Universal is t now conducting a contest to discover . its readers' choices for president and, y according to its statements, a lively interest is being displayed. President Obregon described the contest r as "one of the best jokes of the seap son" and in other official quarters there is the direct charge that Editor (j Palavincini of El Universal is taking p this means to enhance his own I chances to gain the presidential seat. 1 The first computation of votes as , .. announced by El Universal gave .. Adolfo de la Huerta, present secre3 tary of the treasury and former pro.. visional president, first choice. Pas, cual Ortiz Rubio, former minister of communications and public works, 3 was next and Senor Palavincini was ,j third. These three men were closely grouped in the voting. ie There was then a distinct drop in e the number of votes to Secretary of [_ Interior Calles, and President Obregon was fifth with a mere 26 votes, k Among the scores who appeared as (] possible candidates were general Salvador Alvarado, Francisco Leon de la Barra, Felix Diaz, Vito Alessio' y Robles, editor of El Democrata; Ra-: fael Alducin, editor of Excelsior; Ignacio Bonillas, Francisco Murguia, ,r Secretary of Foreign Relations Pani, Francisco Villa and Monsignor Or.. ozco y Jimenez, Archbishop of Guad() alajara. e There was considerable comment, i; editorial and otherwise, when El Uni n versal's first classification of candi1. dates was published. Among the "extreme radicals" the paper named Sece retary Calles, Secretary de la Huerta, e Secretary of Public Instruction Vase concelos and Celestino Gasca, governs or ofthe federal district.
