Labor Board, which had been called d to Washington by President Harding, ir took the first step to stop the threatt ened general railway strike through-e out the country by demanding that ie roads should cut their rates now be1. fore any new request for cuts in r_ wages. ,o The railroad chiefs deoided not to .1 ctnrf - moll/n-l.

Foremost among the tnoves being made by the different groups was a meeting between the United States j railroad labor board and the heads of five unions, which have already au8 thorized their men to strike, called for Thursday by the board and at the request of President Harding, it was said by board members. y 'j The first move on the part of a public organization to avert a strike came when the American Farm Bu* reau federation, representing 1,250,000 farmers, sent petitions to the interstate commerce commission asking g an immediate 10 to 20 per cent re? duction in freight rates on necessities and announced that it also would apy peal 'o the labor beard not to grant * a new \0 per cent, wage reduction '' which the rn*.roads have announced " they will seek, but rather to gj.ieially revise wages m accordance with the cost of livi-.ig i;? v?.riouj sections. e Concurrence "n 'hese re cue its Bhould * avert the strjk?, the federatim said in its announcement, through which it volunteered to meet with union and rail representatives as a mediator. r I !

The resolution declared that - the I early destruction of cotton stalks is the most important single step in I the fight against the weevil; and the 1 ' discussion brought out that fact that if cotton stalks can not be plowed ! under, they should be burned for these winter hotels of the weevil ' must be destroyed, but that plowing ; under is just as efficient as burnimr , and is much more economic as a matter of soil building. The planting of a winter cover i crop in the present cotton fields was t also urged as a most important i means of weevil destruction, since weevils can not live through the winter in a growing cover crop . such as rye, oats, and vetch, or clover, for the reason that in order to survive th^ winter the weevil must "dry out" to the extent of losing one-third of his body moisture and this he can not do in a field where , a cover crop is growing. Cotton stalks not plowed under or burned > in a field to be planted to a cover crop should be cut to pieces and thrown to the ground as early as possible by a stalk cutter so that they may be covered by the growing cover crop and thus absorb moisture which means death to the weevil. Still another step which should be taken now is the cleaning up of the i ditch banks, fence rows, and other places where rubbish and trash accumulate in and around th<> fields. An interesting point brought out in the discussion by N. E. Winters, extension agronomist, was the fact that experiments in Louisiana showed that when cotton stalks were destroyed before Oct. 14 only 3 per cent, of the weevils survived the winter, whereas destruction of stalks on Oct. 27 allowed 15 per cent, to survive; Nov. 25, 22 per cent; Dec. 7, 27 per cent; between Dec. 15 and Jan. 15, 43 per cent. It is clear, therefore, that the earlier the stalks are destroyed, the more effective the. results will be, but that where early destruction is impossible, it is better late than neyer.
