by State Entomologist Wilmon

THE SECRETS OF CONGRESS
Senator Stone has apparently
thrown wide open the question
as to whether it is advisable to
continue runing the government
by secret methods, and it is alto-
gether likely that his challenge

have divulged something of the
proceedings of the committee

THE ISLE OF PINES
Aftqr the Spanish-American
war there was a long drawn out
dispute as to whether the Isle of
Pines belonged to the United
States or Cuba, Uncle Sam fin&My
surrendered his title, but the
island in the meantime enchant-
ed a good many people, and now
nearly ninety per cent of the
entire area is owned by Ameri-
cans. Stories jrf the great
wealth of timber, on the island
have been circulated, and there
have been of investors patiently

will be met. The American peo
pie are greatly interested in the
pending treaty with Columbia,
and many of them would like to
know the inside reasons for the
proposed payment of $25,000,000.
There apparently is no objection
to an apology being offered to
Columbia if it is actually due ,
that country. The large issue is
the growing impatience against
practices in Congress by which
treaties are considered in secret
as well as the process of execu-
tive sessions of the Senate and
secret committee meetings, and
party caucuses. Senator Norris
opened the question of furnish-
ing greater publicity to the pro-
ceedings concerning treatiep with
Nicaragua and Columbia, and it
looks as though the issue as to
whether statesmen shall be al-
lowed to dontinue doing public
business behind closed doors, will
be definitely decided before long.
SUFFRAGIST CONVERTS
\ The persistence of the suffra*
gist is smoking the politicians
out one by one, and although
President Wilson is stilt partially
incog on the proposition, yet in
, view of the fact that Speaker
i Champ Clark has completely sur-
rendered the ladies are pleased
that the President has gone bo
-i far as to say that suffrage is for
J the state to settle. Independent
(of the declarations that that the

Jfor a common purpose, it has
been, demonstrated more than
once that neither of these dis-
tinguished gentlemen appreciate
having the other “beat him to

ladies that “for one thousand

powdered arsenate of lead. This
is a white, fine dust and the
method of application is to make?
a small sack of cotton cloth,
place the poison in it, tie the
sack to a short stick and then
dust tl^e cotton lightly with it
One man can dust the cotton as
fast as he can walk along the
row, and the dusting is facilitat-
ed by the operator carrying in
one hand another short stick
with which to tap the one having
the sack on it. About two
pounds of the powdered arsenate
of lead is sufficient to destroy the
pest on small cotton.
In fields where the cotton is
nearly waist-high a more rapid
and economical method is to sus-
pend a saek of poison to each end
of a pole about six feet in length.
This pole is then carried across
the saddle in front of a laborer
on horse back, who rides between
the rows shaking out the poison.
The powdered arsenate of lead
is not diluted with anything be-
fore application. On large cot-
ton from three to four pounds
per acre are required. This poi-
son will ^not scorch or burn the
leaves of cotton, no matter how
heavily applied.
In emergencies, where " the
powdered arsenate of lead can
not be applied, the worms may
be destroyed in the same manner
with Paris green, mixed with air-
slacked lime at the rate of one
part Paris green to five parts of
the lime This should be dusted
onto the cotton plants very light-
ly. at a rate not to exceed one?
fourth pound of Paris green, no
matter how lightly applied, is
itself injurious to the plant and
will always reduce the final yield.
There is no necessity of pur-
chasing spraying machinery for
destroying this pest; nor is there
any need for using a liquid spray
for its destruction. It requires
many tons of water to spray a
m
cotton field and such a method is
both lal>orous and expensive on
account of the work involved. ^ _______

at Havana, Cuba, has written
the State Department to the ef-
fect that there has been a re-
markable development in the
island in citrus frust raising and
other agricultural effort.
While the consul does not
mention the fact, yet it is a mat-
ter of knowledge to some people
in Washington that at one time
a number of United States offi-
cials in Cuba and the Isle of
Pines attempted to secure a cor-
ner on pineapples, and did so. But
before they got through with
their experience most of them
had barely enough money left to
pay their fair back to the United
States. It is estimated that the
population of the island is about
five thousand people, of which
perhaps ope thousand are Ameri-
cans-
