The war on the boll weevil has not yet reached its ultimate and successful battle, but progress being made all along the line. The boll weevil ic pernicious and. sc to speak. pernickety. It has given e planters ot cotton enough wor- ry to turn their hair to the color of their product at its perfection. Air service men plus gas service men have been carrying the assault into the anemy weerils’ country. Finally, the belief is, they’ll bring him fnto camp dead. for the only good boll weevil is a dead boll weevil. There is a temptation here to diverge from the story of the pres- ent day gas attack on the weevil to tell a little something of what hap- pened before the assault was The pest came into the United States from Mexico not many vears ago and gradually has been extending its march eastward and northwa! through the cotton belt. Uncle Sam’s Agricultural Department has been busy with the boll wee: for vears. It met with consider- able but with far from complete I zuccess. rd | plants. vil |the human criminal is lower by 8 One good thing, however, biologis cceeded in doing. stopped the slaughter by so called sportsmen of several species of birds which it was found took kindly as an article of diet to the boll weevil in_one or another of the stages of its development. Night Bawk Aids Warfare. Th- night hawk, or as it is called in the Soath. the bull bat, was found to be extraordinarily fond of weevils. Men largely stopped shooting the bull bat just as some years before they had stopped shooting the beautiful rose-breast- od grosbeaks which it was learned were the only birds in the wkole bird kingdom that would eat the acrid hard-shelled potato bug. Now at certain seasons of the year air olanes fly low over the cotton fields and sprav the develop- ing plants with a fine poizon dust. Men of rhe Chemical Warfare Service. now engaged in peace pur- suits, have discovered a poison dust which kills the pests but spares the BENEENBARSANESRABRNERSRIRN MAJOR GENERAL AMOS A.

Poison gas that simply oputs criminals out for the time being, and docs the same thing for the members of a riotous mob. is in use or ready tcr use in many of the cities of the sountrv today. Here 1 a little something that has been written on this subject under the title. vpossibly intended to Dbe slichtly humorous. “Gas For Home ‘co.” “A mob :hat cannot see will not long remain a mob—thus a'riot is it may be said withcut |quelled pefere 1t is fairlv started. home and nobody Possibly offense to ihe sentimentaiists that | Everytody voes is hurt. jarge degree than the weevil :rim-| “A crackcman about to reach inal.

Private Uses on Increase. “Realizing these facts a com- mercial concern in Pittsburgh, manufacturing tear gas appliances, has found n.ore than 300 customers for its products among police de- partments, banks and other indus- trial firms throughout the country. There are » number of other col cerns selling similar protective cauinment. “In almost everv case the pur- chaser perscrally tested tke appli- ance before he {ouzht it. by sub- mitting himself to a concentration of tear gas. He thus satisfied him- self as to its effectivencss as a hu- man weapon. At a quartermaster’s depot in the middle west. near St. Louis. the moths rapidly were destroying the government woollen stores. Vari- cus means were tried to get rid of the pests, Seemingly the cnly thing that was at all efficient in- volved the great work and ex- pense of caking each blanket and each article of clothing senarately “to beat it and treat it.” The telp of the Chemical Warfare Service w~as invoked for a peace time 1b.
