Boll Weevil Approaches Limits of Cotton Belt. After thirty years of slow, per sistent advance since its first ap pearance in this country near the j Mexican border, the boll weevil has now reached"the limit of cotton cul tivation, except in western Texas, southwestern Oklahoma, northeast ern North Carolina, and Virginia, according to Department Circular 210, Dispersion of the Boll Weevil in 1921. just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. Each step of the spread has been I against the stubborn, efforts of the government, the states, and the in dividual planters to hold ike pest in check. The mild winter of 1:120-21 and the wet summer of LD21 favored an abnormal multiplication of the insect throughout the territory af fected. Tn determining the extent of its spread last year the search over a great part of the territory surveyed was for the last cotton fields rather than for the weevil be cause all fields were infested. It ?still remains to be seen, says the circular, whether the weevil can maintain existence in the extreme portions of the cotton belt in which it now finds itself. For the first time the stares of) Missouri and Kentucky were in vaded by the weevil and all fields in these states were found to he infested. The gain west of the Mississippi river is very nearly eodal to that east of the river. The greatest gain in any single state, however, is 1">.7'>o square miles in North Carolina. The circular < on- j tains a map showing the spread i of the pest each year since its dis covery in lS?2 in the southernmost i tip of Texas.

Results of Cooperative Marketing Association Columbia, March 16.?Contracts representing over 6,000 bales of coiton were received today at the offices of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative association. Lee county s??nt in 4-.051 bales sending the total number signed in that county to fr,4SS and J. P. Quinnerly is having the active as sistance of Thomas G. McLeod. county chairman. Three counties, Marlboro. Dar lington and Sumter, have already signed considerably over 50,000 bales, one-eighth of the Quota for the whole state, officials of the stale association said last night. E. W. Evans, county chairman for Marlboro county, says he expects to ; sign 4<>,iM'ifi bales or one-tenth of the state's quota in Marlboro coun ty. If all other counties maintain ! the pace of these Pee Dee counties j the state will go far beyond its i quota. "South Carolina farmers can gain from $10 to $15 and more on I each bale of cotton just as I have ; done in Texas." declares J. D. Goghlan of Ennis. Texas, in a let ter to R. C. Hamer, chairman of the campaign committee of the j association. Mr. Hamer is en j deavorihg to have Mr. Goghlan, \ who is a well known Texas farmer, ; come to South Carolina and tell the farmers of this state in speeches j just what the Texas association has I already done for him. Mr. Goghlan : grew more than 100 bales of cotton I lasr year which he turned over to the Texas association. "Don't let any one tell you that i the Texas association has not been ja great success." says Mr. Goghlan j in his letter. "It has done re ; markably well and will do even belter next year because being one of the first of the cotton co operative selling associations to be ; gin functioning, it of course had : problems to solve which the other I states will not have to solve. TTn ; der our plan cotton is being sold , at its' actual spinning value and I is sold by the farmer himself. This is a thing that has never happened before in the history of the south." \ The three members of the South i Carolina delegation in the national house of representatives who grow ! cotton have signed the contract, it was annolunced yesterday. They are H. P. Fulmer of Orangeburg, W. F. Stevenson of Cheraw and .John J. McSwain of Greenville. A man is making lightning, but who in the thunder wants light ning? m> ? ?

I Newfoundland: Coiner-Stone of The British Empire I Washington D.O.. Mar.. 15?Tte ! newed discussion hy the. neighbors of the United States to the north of the desirability of Newfoundland's becoming part of the Dominion At [Canada raises a point upon which [.probably many Americans are ha jzy?that there arc two distinct 'British realms, not one, in rljie portion- of North America above I the Canadian border. Newfound ! land and its relations to Canada are. I brought out in the following bul j ]?-t in from the Washington, D. C, I h'-'idounrrers of the National Geo [graphic Society: I "Sentiment plays its part in his j tory and historic geography." s^ys ! the bulletin, "and the fact thar j Newfoundland has insisted on [standing alone while all the other ' British possessions of North Araer ! ica have united to form the Dorain j ion of Canada is probably partly i due ro the pride that Newffcund j landers have always had in be^ fing able to boast that their's is j Th<- senior British colony'?the first ; of the children of the motherland ; to make its home beyond the seas. "Newfoundland had its settle j ments as early as the 17th century j and was a full-fledged British i colony with a governor when Can j a da was New France, South Africa I was in the hands of the Dutch, and I not a single white settler had land | ed in Australia. Across Canada's Front Door. "Newfoundland has a geographi j cal position of great importance, (for it largely blocks the broad gulf ! into which the St. Lawrence RiVer i widens, and which forms' Canada's j front door from Europe. Mo're j over Newfoundland is the closest ?. part ol" North America to the Brit ; ish Isles, being only 1,640 miles ? from Ireland. It is natural that I the first trans-Atlantic cable should i have been laid to the shores of ! Newfoundland in 1858 and that out ' of 17 cables now crossing the north j Atlantic li first touch American I soil either on Newfoundland or its ; neighboring islets. And when in [1019 aeroplanes finally conquered the Atlantic it was from Newfound land that both the American and [the British machines took off. ; "Newfoundland has an area of [ more than 42,000 square miles, and i is therefore practically half the size } of Great Britain. Excepting only i Cuba, which barely exceeds it in size, it is the largest island oi the 'Western Hemisphere outside peiar ; waters. With its cliffs of brown j stone rising 200 to 300 feet, l>rok ? en here and there by deep fjords : and bays. Newfoundland has a ; bleak and barren appearance which . belies conditions in many parts of i the rolling, timbered interior, j Along a number of the streams ; are fertile valleys in which agri : culture and stock-raisins flourish, j The Story in One Word: Ftsh. j "in late years mining, stock raising, the manufacture of wood > pulp and news print paper, and a I number of other industries have j been developed in Newfoundland; I but throughout its mere thany400 > years of history the central story jot the island might be told in one [word: fish. Boston and Massachu-s j setts have felt deeply indebted to ! their 'sacred cod,' but after- ait i thar important creature canie from ' the Newfoundland bank; and how* j over valuable it has been to" New ! England, it has meant much more j to Newfoundland and through i Newfoundland to Great Britain.' j "A good ease could even b? j made for the cod as claimant for. a place on the British coat-of-arms: for that lowly fish in a way laid the foundation of the world-wide British Empire. Before the dis covery of Newfoundland Britishe? were of little importar us seafar 1 ers. Tiie great wealth of cod fish which John Cabot's finding of the island disclosed immediately drew the men of the British Isles out t? their insularity. "The next year after the d*is jcovery?1498?a fleet of Devon i fishermen crossed the Atlantic and returned loaded down with fish; and from that time on for centuries the annual crossing and recrosa ing of the Atlantic took place. Tito British kings looked upon the voyages of thousands o<" men to and from Newfoundland as the j best kind of training for seamen ? and deliberately discouraged the settlement of the island in order*to perpetuate the fishing from a Brit ish base. Grear Britain quickly became a seafaring nation; the navy grew: and with its growth the British Em;die spread around the . world. I "The Newfoundland of today has ja government in general somewhat I like that of Canada. It is not a crown colony but a self-governing, i responsible colony with a govern or-gen< tal appointed by the British , king, a premier, and a parliament [of two houses. j "Its educational system is unique, j Neither the central government i nor political divisions maintain j public schools. Instead, religious J denominations have charge of [schools in proportion to their j membership, and funds arc. for ' nished to these schools by the gov |? rumen:. Practically the only uhi? fyins activities of the government ! are in. the laying out of studies and ! in the giving of examinations at ? stated periods." The world's a stage.
