A Long Pull, a Strong
Pull, and a Pull Altogether.

Without disparagement of any other
locality, it may be said that Hatties-
burg possesses a most favorable loca-
ton. In the midst of an extensive
belt of valuable timber, the iron ore Of
Alabama and the coal deposits of that
state are at its very door, thus saving
the cost of expensive transportation
We have. consequently, the two great
factors in manufacture, raw material
and fuel. Add to these our transpor-
tation facilities, and the advantages
of this location will be apparent.
The excavation of the Panama canal
continues with ever increasing i'm
petus. 1t is not within human knowl-
edge to forecast what effect the new
waterway will have upon the worlds
commerce; but of this we may be
sure that this country will enter into
closer relations with the southern por'
ton of this hemisphere, and that this
section of the South will be the first to
feel the impulse.
If these incontrovertible facts were
placed before the great manufacturers
\ of the North they would certainly
\ause an investigation which this city
cAurts. The Commercial Club is alive
to these facts; but the Commercial
Club is still run by a comparatively
small number of enterprising citizens,
and it is unreasonable to assume that
they will continue to bear a burden
which should be borne by all, because
the work is not for the benefit of the
few but for the benefit of all
Our PEOPLE should apply spontane
1usly for membership; every busin ass
man should be anxious to contribute
toward thep rogress of the city. The
expense is so trifing that no one car
afford to evade it. There is satisfac
ton in being able to say: 81 helped Il

SPECIAL AGENTS FURNISHING
FARMERS WITH DESCRIPTION.
Pest Is Almost Certain to Appear in
the Counties South Of jackson
Along the Illinois Central Road
Within a Short Time.

In view of the fact that the dreaded
Mexican boil weevil is certain to
move eastward and make it's appear
ance in the counties along the Illinois
Central road south of Jackson, the
United States department of agricul-
ture, bureau of plant industry, is send
ing out the following description of
the insect in order to aid farmers in
identifying the pest when it frs.
makes it's appearance:
"The adult weevil averages about
one-fourth of an inch in length, rang
ing from one-eighth to one-third inch
with the breadth about one-third of its
the snort, which is about one-third
of the length of the body. The color
is grayish, or yellowing brown. The
general form will be understood from
this. The insect exists in four stages,
EGG, larva, pupa and adult. All the
stages except the adult occur only
within the cotton square or boil. The
egg is deposited by the female weevil
in a cavity formed by eating into the
fruit of the plant or form. 1t matches
under normal conditions in abou'
three days and the grub Immediately
begins to feed. In from to IL days
the larva or grub passes into its pupa,
an average it requires from 2 to 3
days. Then the adult weevil issues
and in about days begins production
of another generation. Climatic condi-
lions cause considerable variation in
the duration of these stages, but on
weeks for the weevil to develop from
the egg to the adult. The plainest in
dication of the pres ence of the weevil
in a cotton field is the fiaring and
falling of the squares or forms which
takes place generally between and 10
days after the egg is deposited. How
ever, as all planters are aware, heavy
rains after night, as well as other eli
matte, conditions, have the effect Of
causing the squares to fall. If the
planters should observe an unusual
shedding of the fruit, he may deter
| mine the cause by gathering few O.
the fallen squares. If, upon cuttins
/ open these squares, he finds a small
whitish Cured grub there can be little
doubt that the cause of the trouble Il
the boil weevil.
"The probability of ever extermin
ating the weevil is very remote ant
far distant, and we must figure on how
to make profitable crop even though
it is present in the cotton field. Tn,
large yields of cotton of former time
will no longer be possible in the RI
gions after the weevil has thorough
infested the area, but it is entir d.
feasible to produce cotton at margin
| of profit, by following and practicin
what has become generally known a
the Cultural Method.
III This method was originally sue
gested from careful study of the life
history and habits of the pest an
adapting the culture of cotton to tn
nature of the pest, so that an earl
crop can be procured. A more thol
| ough and detailed discussion will b
the next subject of paper"

had enriched many a trader. but it re-

west country English farmer, hard
headed business man. who uses the
latest machinery on his farm. yet holds
the belief in pixies as firmly as any
article of his religious creed. Having
been visited by series Of minor mis-
fortunes. he confided to the writer in
the utmost seriousness his fear that he
had offended pixy by inadvertently
stepping into a fairy ring and stated
that he intended going on the morrow
to the white witch at Exeter to get
further misfortune averted And this
level headed business man took Il day
from his farm In the busiest time of
the year and journeyed to Exeter and
back-a matter Of some sixty miles
for this purpose. On his return he was
as one who had cast off a heavy bur-
den. But the white witch's mysteries
no persuasion could induce him to re-
