" Republican opponents. r.. ?pirit ??: lilt* electorate m the last Congressional campaign was to vol. "against- things." The men in utfici in both parties suffered. The verd'ct generally was negatlvt? a continuance of the negulive cam paigns that have prevailed ever rtat*e the war. If there was mi af firmative desire at the 1922 election, nothing has developed thus tar in the statements of Senators and Re pr 'sc-ntatives to indicate that they ore conscious of what it was. ? if you ask members of Congress what the country meant when-it cut down rh" Republican majority to a mere handful in both houses, you will get from the Democrats the uuswer that the Nation was showing its impa tience with the lack of performance of a Republican Congress and from the Republican members you will get the excuse that agricultural dis content and diverse 'business condi tion? at the time of the elections had much to do with the cutting down of the Republican strength. But the Congress is here ? thirteen months after the election and about the only thing that most mem bers will agree upon is that condi tions have changed since tin* time of their election. The Democrats say the country is even more Democratic and the Republicans insist that if the elections were held tomorrow they would recover most of their lost teats. About the only things that have come to the front since the last election and which are bound to transcend in importance everything else in the session are. first, lax revision downward: second, the s??l dler bonus, and third, a fight on the railroad- to force lower freight rotes for farm products. All three issues will he inter woven and party lines art- bound to be broken when the parlian.-ntary maneuvers begin whereby hills are framed and reported by committees. To sum up the present situation, it is no exaggeration to say that Congress Is almost unanimous In favor of some kind of tax n duction i:? asure. Congress, moreovet. re in.ins unconvinced that a soldier bonus it enacted would bring about the serious consequences to the Na tion's economic condition which the Tr' .aMiry Depart men' experts say would be the resu'.t. The advo cates of the bonus admit there will be some strain but insist the country is in- splendid condition to bear it without danger. As.for the contest, to ?"t lower freight rates, the Indications at the moment are that the rallrods will lo?e their fight. Sentiment to re p. a! the so-called earning clause Is powerful that it will take o. combination of Democrats and Republicans to .break it down in<! keep the transportation law in ?:? .t. !? the railroad* were able to niakg voluntary decreases In freight rates, they would be able to ward off most of the opposition to them in Congress. The earning 4 hi ii e is being used as a means of ( striking at the railroads for refusal I to reduce rates. There is no ques-l ? Hon hut that the railroads will be able to influence a large number of members of both houses to accept the economic arguments they have j made but the Western railroads are not as sympathetic with railroad fi nnrr# as they are with farmer eco nomics. There are rumors that President Coelldge. while opposed to any ban Re in the earning Hause of the Transportation Art. will not make ? n Issue of it with Congress In ? ome respects the railroad question ill furnish more ammunition for olltieal mtle than any other pro blem befor- Congress. f f Beautiful Canary i Birds : 'l (piioronleed Singer*. $10.00 raoli | \ drlighlful (iliriHliiiuH | Gift I The Apothecary Shop 1 eife inside Siory Oi Insect Battle Ciiiei Howard In Annual Re poi t Ciivej Account Of Work For the Farmer:, \x - : I J. ?

Tests conducted on more than 1.U00 forms scattered throughout the cotton belt have, i shown that by proper dusting of the lk-lds with calcium arsenute 96 per cent of tlie tarnier* were enabled to control the weevil ?o as to make the .crop profitable, the average increase being oo'j pounds of seed cotton to the acre ut a cost of $4.00. Many experiments were curried ou in try ing out othe rmethods and equip ment, including the use of alrplunes tor dusting. All but 4.01 per cent of the cotton crop is uow produced 'in territory infested with the boll weevil." Touching on other pests the state meat declares that "strong efforts have been mode to control the Japant.se beetle a new pest which lias >een spreading in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Insect is be ing carefully studied, farm practices ? ire lining modified to help reduce its multiplication and progress has been made in introducing natural para sites from the Orient. During the year much work was done on other ideciduous fruit insects. including those of the grape, peach, apple and of various others. "Campaigns have been carried on agaiu*l the gypsy and 'brown tail moth*. . Cereal and forage insect* have been given much atten tion in various parts of the couutry vhere damage U being done or where new pests are gaining u foot hold. The Kuropeun corn borer is one of the most important of those introduced (tests; another is the al-. falfa weevil, while grasshoppers, the southern stalk borer, the wheat stuw corn, the corn ?-ar worm and web worm have caused serious losses. Investigations were carried on to develop better control measures tor insects attacking stocked grain and grain products, dried fruits, meat and fabrics*. Tt^ts have -i>een made of cold storage for the prevention of losses by insects, of fumigation and of woods such as red cedar. "A number of insects attacking tropical and subtropical fruits have become troublesome and efforts are being made to control them. Among I'm art- s. v rat ivtrus ji. *t?.
