INDUSTRIAL NEWS
When the living of every man, wo-

ing farming, why should question-

they tend to interfere with or destroy
normal industrial activity ? Thlt i>

for every family to consider.

dogs started for the mountains. An-
other party or hunters joined them
at the hunting camp about twenty
miles north of Fort Davis. In all,
one bobcat, two deer and six bear,
three cubs and three grown ones,
were killed by the hunters when they
came to town Tuesday. J. W. Espy
and J. H. Clark, veteran bear hunters
who were in the party, failed to con-
nect with any luck on the trip.
Had the slain animals been brought
in alive, as was originally intended,
J. H. Clark and J. W. Espy had ar-
ranged to organize a syndicate and
buy cages and put in a wild animal
zoo which would attract many visi-
tors to our town. The location was,
'12 -55- ""l" ******
house yard. As the animals were
not brought in alive the scheme was
abandoned. •
The party was organized for the
benefit of C. N. Bassett and Lamar
Davis, both of El Paso, who figur-
ed so prominently in an exciting bear
hunt in the Davis mountains near
here last year.
The hunting party was composed
of: C. N. ‘Bassett, president of the
State National Bank of El Paso, La-
mar Davis, capitalist of El Paso; J.
W. Espy, Beau McCutcheon, Frank
Jonas, Espy Miller, Mac Sproul, Jno.

STILL TIME TO
SWAT THE WEEVIL
Many communities have become in-
terested in the work of cleaning up
the fields this fall to reduce th£
number af overwintering weevil. In
some sections a great deal has al-
ready been accomplished. The un-
usual rairrs, not only delaying pick-
ing but also rendering the soil unjfit
fo work in those sections where pick-
ing has been completed, has retard-
ed the killing of the cotton stalks and
possibly has discouraged many who
fear it is becoming too late to ac-
complish results.
We think shot in most sections
there is still time to make the work
effective; certainly so in the south
portion of Texas. Let it be remem-
bered that completely killing the cot-
ton plants as much as two weeks Iws
fore the first killing frost will great-
ly reduce the number of weevil that
successfully pass the winter. A study
of the meteorological records of the
frost was at Denton------ ,
Nacogdoches November 1; at College
Station November 16; »* Mmitotim
November 19; and at
ember 1; for further p
we have no data readily
bu| corresponding dates
Christ! and Brownsville,
can be safely placed |jjj_
and December 15, respectively.
Over a, great portion of Texas it
will be seai, therefore, dial there m
still time for action. With the limit-
ed time at hand, the work should be
done quickly. The stalks need not
be turned under; merely killing them
is enough, and this is being done
in some sections by turning them out
with a plow set shallow, and from
which the fttould board has been re-
moved.
Killing the cotton plants now pre-
vents the weevils from breeding and
feeding. Many are starved before
winter sets in, and of those that re-
main, the greater pgrt are aged p.v
die before spring opens up.
There is a question as to what ef-
fect the recent defoliation of the
cotton fields throughout most of
Texas, by the leaf worm, will have
upon weevil breeding. Apparently
at present, there are few green bolls
or squares in which the insect may
Sreed, and the present condition of
the fields is m the farmer’s favor.
