WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. After twelve
years of patient scientific Investigation the
Department of Agriculture believes It has
at last discovered a method of destroying
the boll weevil, the parasite which the
department only yesterday reported has
caused this season's cotton crop virtually
to be a failure.
The department Is keeping the new
method secret pending Html absolute proof
of Its efficacy. For two years past tests
hate shown pbenomcnal success, according
to department officials. One additional year
ot experimentation ts desired before the
method Is to bn given the publla with the
assurance that It will destroy tho curse of
the southern planter.
The discovery. If It comes up to expec
tation, w II bo In the nick of time, for de
partment cotton experts admit that nothing
short of a hard winter will prevent the boll
weevil peat from becoming mofe destruc
tive of cotton next season than this.
"If we havo a hard early frost as far
south as the Gulf coast great numbers of
the parasites will be destroyed," said one
expert today. "But If the w nter bo mild
the weevil will multiply prodigiously nnd
prove an even greater burden next season
than It haa been this yenr."
It officially Is admitted that a series of
mild winters would make cbtton growing
in the United States virtually Impossible,
unless the newly discovered artificial eradi
cant Is successful.
The cnotmous destruction ot cotton this
season, due to the boll weevil directly, is In
part chargeable to the wild hurricane which
swdpt the gulf coast and the southern
States In the summer of IV 15. Department
scientists who have made a special Investi
gation of the unprecedented spread of the
weovll have reported that the 1915 hurri
cane, the one which did so much damage
at Galveston and other Texas and Louisiana
coast cities, sowed millions of weevils like
grain over thousands of acres of territory
which theretofore had been free of the
destructive Insect. Followed a mild winter
and then came spring and summer weather
unusually favorable to the parasite, ac
cording to the scientists' report. This re
sulted In the plague ot boll weevils which,
by causing a short cotton crop, has sent
the price of the staple soaring to a figure
which Is bound to affect the pocketbooks of
the ultimate consumers.
leaving the Ark, they twirled their talis
with delight and Inhaled the delightful
South Philadelphia air through quivering
nostrils. The goats also seemed to feel at
home and fell upon a few jtray tin cans
with lusty appetites.
Kalserburg Is strictly a stag settlement,
with one exception, "General Brusslloff,"
the hugeit of the porkers. She, the only
feminine suburbanite, has a family of six.
There Is something unique about the
land-and-water colony, which at present
consists of two weather-marked ocean
Ilnei'j. rows of kennels, coopa, stys and
pigeon cotes and plans for human habita
tions on the sandy plot. The Teutons, now
inured to Internment, have lost the "circus"
air which they, fresh from naval feats that
set the world agog, had when they daBhed
Into Norfolk under the noses of the British
warships.
"Was ha'm wlr da 7" shouts a sympa
thetic, Interested aerman-Amerlcan from
the other side of the "dead line."
"Ach. please talk Knslleh," responds a
ruddy-faced sea fighter.

Looking Forward
I The fulfillment of the idea to "save for the rainy day" and "old age"
is to buy economically, not only in small purchases, but in all things, no
matter how large.
I To buy economically does not mean to buy that which is cheap, but
where value is equal to purchase at the greatest saving.
f Pianos, no longer a luxury, but a necessity to the home where the
future of the coming generation is considered, are a commodity that
deserves much thought and serious consideration before purchasing.
I The most logical point from which to purchase your piano is the
manufacturer who makes a high-grade instrument which he sells to the
home direct.
I Piano dealers who buy and sell pianos in many cases have instruments
of merit to sell, but the extra profits you must pay the dealer (viz.,
manufacturer, jobber, freight, etc.) do not increase the value of theinstru-ments.
I 25 to 30 per cent is the amount you save when purchasing a piano
from us, the makers.
& Cunningham on a piano is a guarantee of the best in piano construc
tion and durability, with the realization of having saved 25 to 30 per
cent.
& Buy wisely.

A full-size, 88-note Player-Piano that cannot be equaled by a dealer

Feeling that comparison is the truest test of supremacy, we invite you
to inspect the ayer-Piano sold by others for $600, and then come to us,
the manufacturers, and compare these instruments to our Painter &
Ewing Player-Piano at $450-then you will appreciate our statement.'"
