TENNESSEE.
The rains of last week set the
cotton crop of Tennessee in 4 fine
way. 1t is now in the best of con-
dition, and the farmers are we'll
pleased. Without some serious mis-
hap, large crop will be produced.
MISSISSIPPI.
Dry weather with only occasional
local showers during the week was
beneficial to the cotton crop, and the
fear of rotting bolls and damage by
excessive rainfall has largely SUBJ
sided. The plant is large, very well
fruited, but the bolls are opening
slowly. There is nothing more than
local complaint, and these come
from the lowlands, where there is
some grass, slight rust and rather
overgrown plant.

THE GAME HOG

From the point of view of the bird
the principal party In interest, we be.
lieve, there is little encouragement in
the crusade against the game hogs"
We are moved to this observation by
an article in recent publication. in
tended to expose the atrocious
cruelty OF the man who slaughters
game birds for the sake of seeing
how many he can bag" Before the
writer had finished he had exposed
himself He wasn't writing that ar
ticle In the interest of the birds al
all. but in the interest of other hunt
ers, who desired chance to kill
some of the birds themselves. SO,
we say there isn't much in that argu-
ment to interest the birds. II they
must be exterminated. il makes little
dinerence TO the victims, whether
they are TO be killed by one hunter
or million.
In fact, II 1t IS simply a question
OF relative cruelty, regardless Of the
element of sport, II were far Less
cruel for the hunters to exterminat,
the species in one season than "a
leave sufficient birds to breed from
year to year for their enjoyment in
killing them. No. The game hogs
are wrong and ought TO be extermi-
mated themselves, but let us not base
our cause against him on a defense
OF the little brides.
