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 it's dissemination.
1t is important that every farmer

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:

except a duly recognized entomolo-
gist, to bring into the State, through

ever, any living Mexican boil weevil,
whether adult or in the larval or
pupal stages.

sippi any bedding, clothing, bag

4. 1t is unlawful for any per

We urgently request that every
grower of cotton notify us at nee
if he suspects the weevil to be in his
field.

conclusively that if vote had been

that the North Dakota delegation was
composed of stand-patters.
The subject was discussed at this
mornings meeting, but action on the
Hansbrough resolution was deferred
until tonight. Senator McCumber
made speech in opposition to the So
called North Dakota idea. His re-
marks were firm but none the less
emphatic and to the point. Senator
