Truck shipments from the valley

all points along the branch cabbage
shipments still continue to hold up
well and the prices continue good.
Onions are also being shipped daily
in car lots from nearly every town in
the valley Express shipments OF
"cukes' have begun, and while the
amount is small they vol greatly in

Burning Of Stalks In Field APP.
pears To Be the Best Plan.
However.
Special to The News.


Jackson, Nov. 3O.-There has been
some difference Of opinion among the
government and state experts who
have been working along one line or
another for the eradication of the
boil weevil or for the minimizing OF
his pestiferous and pernicious activ.
tiles, as to the necessity for burning
the cotton stalks at the end Of the
season.
While this method has the diasd-
vantage that it results in the destruc-
ton Of large amount of humus mat
ter, it is quite generally regarded as
the surest method Of Kidding the
fields of the insect. The other plan
suggested. of turning live stock into
the cotton fields as soon as the crop
is gathered, and after it has been thor
oughly grazed over, cutting the stalks
in the ordinary way and turning them
under in the fall, is approved by the
agricultural experts in half-hearted
way. as going long way toward the
destruction Of the insect, but as leav-
ing at the same time chance for
some Of them to escape. It's advan-
tage is that it permits the utilization
of all the humus matter produced on
the soil instead of destroying it by
burning.

CONGRESS TO AMEND
THE PURE. FOOD Law

When congress meets in Deem
Der. one of the questions to be
thrashed out will undoubtedly be the
revision of the pure food laws to
meet the demands Of the general body
of consumers for still further i'm
provements in the methods in vogue
in many food factories.
One of the points overlooked in the
original act was the treatment OF
peaches and apricots in canning
plants. 1t is the practice of many
canneries to immense peaches in a
boiling solution of caustic soda and
allow the fruit to stew in this chemi
cal until the skins of the fruit are
eaten loose. The fruit is then put
through several washings until the
skins are washed away. This pro
cess is about cent and a half or two
cents can cheaper than peeling by
knife. Those who are calling atten
ton to this chemical treatment say
that the use of the I've is not the
worst feature of the process, but con
tend that in order to use this cheap
peeling process it is necessary to
use green and unripe fruit for can
ming. Ripe fruit will not stand the
lye-process but becomes discolored
and disintegrated in the caustic So
da. The little flavor which the un-

moves their places to hibernate.
leaves them in a much weaker condi-
ton to withstand the winter, and ut
terly without breeding places, be-
sides having many of the weevils
burned bodily with the stalks.
Before burning the stalks are piled
up in rows or piles and the remaining
weevils gather there and feed as long
as there is anything green about any
Of the stalks, never leaving them.
Hence there are very few IL any of
the insects left after the burning.
Should any be left, there is no place
for them to go for either food or
breeding places, and they inevitably
die during the winter.
Mr.. Wilson, while disclaiming the
theory that the boil weevil is in any
sense a blessing in disguise, because
he believes the blessing will be a
rather severe one during the first year
or two wherever the weevil puts in
his appearance, expresses the opinion
that after the insect has invaded ev.
cry part of the cotton belt, the South
will then be in better shape than ever
before, because it will get as much or
more money for its cotton crop, short
though it may be, and will produce
many other things in greater abund-
ance than it now grows, owing to an
enforced policy Of diversification of
crops.

which has been soaked in I've they
may do so. Many of course will pre-
fer to have their fruit handled in the
good old fashioned kitchen way, by
knife-peeling, which also means much
for the quality of canned fruit by
keeping intact the original fruit fla.

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-11-30
viii Prove Destructive.

Mr.. Wilson believes that owing
to the different climatic conditions
the work of the weevil will prove
more destructive in this state than in
Texas, where it has wrought much
havoc. due to the heavy rainfall here
in the spring, which prevents early
cultivation in many cases, the lack OF
hard freezes, such as would kill the
insects, and some other minor con-
ditions.
On the whole, Mr.. Wilson is pleased
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-11-30

The last two years have seen a
great advance in the methods used
in various canneries, and with the
new law still further advance in
the direction of wholesome produc-
ton will be assured. When the pro.
cesses employed in canneries are
known to be perfectly wholesome,
there will be greater use of canned
fruits and the final result will be
profitable for all concerned, includ
ing the farmer, who will get a great
err market for his product.
