heavier precipitation in general in

duce only a late crop. This has an
important bearing OH the produc-
ton of an early crop, such as is
required under boil weevil condi-
tions. In this respect, again the

it comparatively easy to produce
an early crop, has not encountered
THE CASE NOT HOPELESS.
In spite of these adverse condi-
tions, the case is by no means hope
less. There is no need of giving
up cotton altogether 1t will be
necessary to reduce the acreage, TO
devote ''late" lands to other crops,
and to pay more attention to culti-
vation than even the best of the
old-time planters have. The Bu-
#reau of sEntomology will continqe
its work. There is hope that bet
ter methods will be perfected. The
parasites of the weevil are begin
ming to be in evidence. As many
as rs per cent of the weevils ~ a
field at Natchez were found to have
been killed by these parasites dur
ing the first year after the original
invasion. To find a death-rate
from this cause Of IS per cent IN
Texas is not uncommon. Practi-
cal work has shown that the work
of these enemies of the weevil can
be increased, and in this lies the
best hope of the Valley planter.

Congressman Ben Humphreys,

States of Mississippi, Arkansas

tie the jurisdiction of crimes COM

law will cut off the liquor traffic
by boats and on sand bars and
islands that have been separated
from the mainland by the shifting

On January Ie the Committee Of
the Whole in the House had under
consideration, in a most extended
debate, Mr.. Humphreys amend
ment to the Penal Code Bill by
which he seeks to secure that all
liquors transferred by the common
carriers shall bear the names of the
eonsignor and consignee clearly
marked, and specify the kind and
quantity of the article as is requir-
ed by the Pure Food law for all ar
ticles transported. The debate
ended in no conclusion, and it will
