weevil in Mississippi.

Cotton fields of Central Mississippi
are being rayaged by blight and in
sects, the latter believed TO be the Mex
lean boil weeyil. The crop is being cut
short. Stalks are shedding heavily.
This is the situation at Collins, Voss-
burg and Ellisyille and the surround
ing sections. At Mills, east Of Hatties-
burg, an insect is eating into the boil
and causing it to drop OFF. Mr.. Clark,
who lived in Texas thirteen years and
knows boil weevils, having the weeyil
on his farm in Texas, declares the Mis-
sissippi bug is the genuine Texas boil
Weeyil.
Frank Meyers says up TO a week ago
he had a fine cotton prospect, but that
an insect has eaten into the bolls in n
week and almost destroyed it. He de-
clares there are millions of them in his
field. but they are hard to catch.
Other prominent men believe the
weevil reports are a mistake. W. Con-
ner of the Southern Cotton Association
does not believe the insect the weeyil.
T. a. Hightower agrees with him.

only about 10000, though in summer

A Bumper Corn Crop.

Mississippi's corn crop this year will
be a bumper. In some sections harvest
ing Of the crop has commenced, matur-
ity period being much earlier than
usual, and it would be hard indeed to
find a community where the farmers
are not well satisfied with the prospects.
In the delta, where the corn acreage is
larger this year than ever before
known, the yield will be especially pro-
life. Prospects Of from 70 to 50 bushels
per acre are quite common, while some
planters declare that they will gather
100 bushels per acre. The acreage is
at least twenty per cent larger than
ever before devoted to corn.
