orcke. This is the situation with
It )east two thirds Of our far
ners; the remaining one third
can hold their crop, but the
amount of cotton that can be thus
kept off the market is not suffi-
cient to control the price. The
manufacturers Of cotton know
our business system and the
conditions Of our business; they
know wheu our debts fall due,
what we have to pay with and
that the bulk of our cotton crop
must be sold at this season of
the year to meet our outstanding
obligations. With the aid of
spectators they will succeed in
securing a large per cent of the
cotton crop at their figures, and
the man who produces it is un-
able to help himself.
1t is now too late for the far
mer to dictate the price of this
years crop; the money has al
ready been spent, his debts are
due and must ae paid and the
current price is what he must
sell for. All conditions, it is
true, are such as to. make the
crop bring fifteen cents or more
for this years crop. Cotton is
worth that under present condi-
tons, and it will bring that be-
fore the end of the season; but
not until after it has passed in a
large measure out of the hands
of the man who produced it and
is entitled to all that is in it. The
Spectator will get the long price
this time as he has in the past.

The Touch of Autumn.
(Yazoo Sentinel.

Last evening the twilight fell
a little earlier than usual. The
change was slight, but it was
noticeable. 1t fingered redder in
the patches through the western
foliage, and the shadows were
deeper and darker. In them was
a tinge of cooler weather. There
was a touch of melancholy about
it-a distinct impression brought
about by the approach of another
season.
We fell to thinking of other
autumn days-of other years
and what we were doing when
the year was at this stage. They
are pleasant recollections, and
among them is one that seemed
most dear at the time-the be-
ginning of the school year. 1t
means a new pair of shoes, a
p~lastering Of the untamed locks
and a hunt for the books that
could hardly be expected to stay
where we put them long months
ago. When school had let out
the spring before and we had
gone out from the hot school
room into the tall rank grasses
for midsummer, it had seemed
as though vacation was going to
be an eternity. And now it's end
had come. 1t meant a trudging
back to school with the dog-eared
books, the new teacher, and the
classmates altered like ourselves
with the months of rustication.
Soon it will be necessary for
us to have a fire in the CRATE.
And we see the dear ones about
the glow as it used to be. We

The boil weevil has crossed the
Father of Waters and is now on
Mississippi soil. With this addi-
tional evil to contend with the
cotton producer must learn every
thing that will enable him to
overcome the disadvantages to
which he is subjected, or the
production of cotton will soon be-
come an improbable business.
On our front page we give a plan,
which, if followed, lessons the
opportunity of the new pest to
work havoc to our most profit
able crop. Every farmer should
now begin with the first appear
ance of the weevil to study and
learn how to fight it; read and
keep everything that comes un-
der your notice and experiment
with the suggestions made from
the experience of others. 1t may
help you in the fight that seems
to be on us in the very near fu-
ture,
