'D~uring the recent investigations by the Senate and I louse of the different bureaus of the Washington govern ment, the Bureau of Supplies and Ac counts received the very highest com pliments that could possibly be paid by the inspecting comiittees.' This bureau is, its every one knows, prelid ed over by itear Admiral F'amuel Mc (lowan, the most distinguished living son of Laurens. Says Senator Tillman, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, "I invite any Senator to visit his bureau"-the bureau of Sup plies and Accounts-"at any time and if he can show wherein it is not the most. etlicient bureau in the govern ment service today, excepting none, I will apologize for my remarks." lion. F. A. Brittain, member of the Naval Comtnittee from the louse said "I am satisfied that your bureau is running at about 100 per cent etlicien cy.

To All Oflicers and Chiefs of Sections, via Assistant to the Ilunreau and Civilian Assistant. 1. Attention is particularly invited to the following extract from a speech made in the tUnited States Senate Fri day, .lanuary 28, 191;, by Senator D. It. Tillman, the Chairman of the Com mittee on Naval Affairs: "I invite any Senator to visit his bureau"-tle lureau of Supplies and Accounts--"at any time and if lie can show wherein it is not the most. efli cient bureau in the Government ser vice today, exetintlug none, I will apol ogize for my remarks." 2. Without regard to whether or not this invitation for critical inspec tion be accepted, It is our duty--now even more than ever before-to do our best to deserve the Senator's very handsome estimate of us. 3. To that end, we will not only continue to spell bureau with a small b and NAVY all in capitals but also be sure that today's best work can rightly he regarded as not quite good enough for tomorrow's standard. 41. .\eanwhile, for what you have 1one.. thius far, congatula te anad thank you1 all.

Of colse, in ttemptin g to answer this quItestion, the only safe guide liust be (he experiences of similar see tions to the west ward that htave at read had the weevil for a number of years. While it cannot be unqualiIed asserted that two counties possessing identical climatic, soil and labor con ditions will be affected by the weevil in like degree, it certainly can be as serted that such will probably be the case. Granting that this is a reason able sulpposition, let us see what has been the experience of the western part of the northern half of the Cot ton helt under weevil conditions. A very careful investigation of the ginning reports issued by the united States Census B3ureau shows that no where north of parallel :3 1-2 north latitude ta line running each and west approximately through Atlanta, Ga., liirminghim, Ala., and Paris, Texas) has any county suffered because of th6 weevile a greater (lc(lease in cot toil production Ihan occurrel durins adv1er se seasons before the Fweev i (1n in . If iiis I :s be n the case in the htunid. timbered areasi of Arkansas and rtcI l h ..lssissippi, it (1 rtaminly seemus reasonabl' to expert about the samue rem:ilts from the weevil in all newly invaded setions north of par alle l 3 1I-2. It must not be inerred from this that. the w:e vil will not do damage in the territory under consideratiou; for in all likelihood, the weevil w1ll' even tuially go as far north as cotton is grown and will pa rticulary diring wet seasons following very mild win ters, affect, the crop very considerably. iowever, on an average ills damage will be far less seriocis than in thie extreme southern part of the Cotton Belt. In fact, it' we assume that the weevil Is "I00 per cent eflicient" in destructiveness along the Gu! f Coast, I his 'eliciency in dest ructiveness" gradially and regilarly decreases to the northward until the extremne lim1 its of cotton production are reached ill Kansas. Missoturi, and Kentucky, where it. is very close to zero. it must be understood that what has been said here does not apply to a strip from 75 to 100 mIles wide along the Atlantic Seaboard, for cli matic conditions along the South At lantic Coastal Plain are considerably modified by the influence of tle ocean. W'lnter tenperatures average higher than in inland sections in the same latitude ad the summer rainfall is heavier. These factors, of -course, will prove favorable to the boll weevil and it ravages will very probably he mor ie severec than w ill be thIe case in land in the same latitud'e.
