The Plcayune as mississippi News
paper.

The Picayune as mississippi News
paper.
A prominent Mississippian, sojourn
ing abroad, writes
There are so many admirable features
about the Picayune, that to say any par
ticular department excels another, ap-
pears like an invidious comparison. Yet
to me it is clear that Current Com
ment in Mississippi is entitled to dis
tinction peculiarly its own. On account
Of Current comment the Plcayune is
invaluable to all Mississippians who de-
sire to keep up with events as they
transpire in the State.
To do this one does not have to read
all the papers published in Mississippi. 1t
is done for him by an able, experienced
and painstaking editor, and all the rea-
der has to do to keep thoroughly posted
is to take the Picayune, turn to "Cur-
rent Comment in Mississippi, and
there he finds every day an epitome of ev-
erything of moment happening through
out the state.
The whole arrangement shows the
hand of consumate journalist.
The Picayune deserves great praise for
establishing such department.
To Mississippian sojourning, like
the writer, in another State, and want
ing to know what is going on at home,
Current Comment is an absolute ne
cessity. have realized this for some
time and have concluded at last that l
ought to write and express my appreci
alton and my cordial thanks

The Colorado Potato Beetle.

With the increase of irish potato grow
ing in the south, that well known and
ever present pest of.the north, thepota-
to beetle, is gradually making its home
here. For several years this insect has
been present in the northern portion Of
Mississippi, but not until this season has
it attracted general attention in nearly
all parts of the state.
Paris green is sure shot for this pest
1t can be applied to the plants in almost
any manner the most convenient, either
in a liquid or dry form, as there is little
danger of doing damage to the plants
with the Paris green. In liquid form
it can be applied as spray by means of
a knapsack spray pump of by means Of
common watering can. A tablespoon
of the green to bucket of water is the
correct proportion. Whom applied in a
dry form the green can be placed in q
-four sack and the sack shaken over the
plants. Leggett's Champion Powder
gun is the best machine for the applica-
ton of the green in a dry form. Most
of the farmers Of the north, however,
simply make the green into thick paste
with fresh lime water and apply it to the
plants with an old broom, having the
handle about foot long.
