wrote the story in a log cabin situated
a mile from her luxurious palace home.
Harbor Hill, at Roslyn, L. l. The most
important object in the place is a type

wrote the story. In fine weather she

famous wit, was her grandfather, and
her great-grandfather was the cele-
brated Reverdy Johnson.

The Mexican Boil Weexll.

The legislature Of the State Of
Mississippi at its last session passed
AZ act to prevent the introduction of
the boil weevil into this State, and
tc guard against its dissemination.
1t is important that every farmer
and cotton grower in the State
should become posted in regard to
this law and familiar with its pro-
scription, and with the rules and
regulations that have been promul-
gated in accordance with the act.
Attention is called to the following
summary of the rules and regula-
tons to prevent the introduction of
the Mexican cotton boil weevil:
1. 1t is unlawful for any person,
except a duly recognized entomolo-
gist, to bring into the State, through
the mails, by express, freight, or
any other manner, or to have in his
possession, for any purpose whatso-
ever, any living Mexican boil weevil,
whether adult or in the larval or
pupal stages.
2. 1t is unlawful for any person,
firm or corporation to bring any cot
ton seed, cotton seed hulls, seed cot
ton, cotton seed and seed cotton
sacks, hay, straw, oats, or corn into
the State from any place or county
If Texas, or any place or parish in
Louisiana where the cotton boil
weevil exists.
3. 1t is unlawful for any person,
firm or corporation to bring into or
carry through the State of Missis-
sippi any bedding, clothing, bag
gage, trees or plants from any
place, county or parish in Texas or
Louisiana where the boil weevil ex-
lists, unless such bedding, clothing,
baggage, trees or plants are accom-
panied by a certificate of inspection
from a duly recognized entomologist
to the effect that they are free from
boil weevils.
4. 1t is unlawful for any per-
son, common carrier, firm or cor
poration to carry through the State
of Mississippi any of the products
named above, or any other farm
products raised in the counties of
Texas, or parishes of Louisiana
where the boil weevil exists, unless
such products are carried in tight
box cars which are sealed and are
not opened, unloaded or side tracked
during transit through the State.
5. 1t is unlawful for any per
son, common carrier, firm or cor
poration to bring into or carry
through the State any hay, straw
or other materials used as bedding
that has been obtained from any
or the counties, parishes o II places
in Texas or Louisiana where the
boil weevil exists.
1t is important that the entomolo-
gist be notified at once if the boil
weevil appears in the State during
the coming season. If any peculiar
insect or disease appear in a cotton
field, the wner should notify the
entomologist at once. If possible,
some of the insects should be en-
closed in a tin or wooden box, and
sent to the entomologist with the
address of the sender on the box.
We urgently request that every
grower of cotton notify us at once
if he suspects the weevil to be in his
field.

Crop Conditions

The Mississippi department Of
the climate and crop service has is
sued the following summary of crop
conditions for the week just ended
The mean temperature for the
week was slightly below normal.
Heavy rains fell in the northern
portion of the State, moderate show
ers in the central portion and only
light showers in the southern coun-
ties.
Farming operations are unusually
well advanced for this season of the
year, except in the northeastern
counties, where there has been con-
siderable delay, due largely to heavy
rains. Corn planting is nearing
completion over the southern por-
ton of the State and is generally
in full progress in the northern
counties much corr is up to a good
stand, and some is being cultivated.
A large part of the cotton land has
been prepared for planting, and
over the southern half of the State
planting is in progress Oats are
generally doing well. Sugar cane
is coming up to a satisfactory stand
in the gulf counties. Pastures are
in good condition. The frost on
March ~ and 20 did considerable
damage to vegetable crops in the
northern and central counties, and
in a few localities fruit has been
damaged, but, on the whole, the
fruit outlook is good.

The continuous rains in the cen
trail and northern section of the
State are greatly retarding farming
operations, it being impossible for
the farmers to get into their fields

broken some weeks ago, remain un-
planted. The rainfall has been so
profuse during the past two or three
weeks that all the small streams and
rivers are swollen, and the lakes and

Short Strawberry Crop.

Hon. J. B. Yellowly, a prominent
truck farmer of Ridgeland, Madison
county, states hat the strawberry
crop in that section is at least sc
per cent short, caused by the dry
weather that has prevailed since the
first of the year, and the frost of a
few nights since. The berries arc
of a very fine quality this year, how
ever, and are commanding fairly
good prices. The peach crop, Mr.,
Yellowly says, promises to be the
largest for several years, and he ex-
poets to ship ten OF twelve carloads
from his own orchard.
