The Natchez special is reproduced that
all may see the results of boil weevils in
cotton and is for the benefit of those who
have not realized the full extent of the
damage done by the pest, and also for
those whose crops have been hurt by
something similar to the genuine article
making the farmer think that be will
not suffer in the future, because he is
under delusion that the bug he has
been bothered with was the real stuff
w. H. Barnes, president of the Brandon
Bank, while in New Orleans some days
ago, was told by the vice-president of
the Hibernia Bank that no one could APP
preciate the full extent of loss until the
weevil had arrived in full force
He also said that bankers would not
make advances to local banks, merchants
or planters in boil weevil districts unless
farmers adopted government plans of
planting and working cotton and would
burn their cotton stalks.
The dispatch from Monticello shows
that the boys are setting good example
to their elders and have proven that corn
will pay we'll.
More live stock should be raised. There
is lots of cattle in Rankin county but of
sorry quality.
L. o. Gayden, of this town, has shipped
tire car loads of stock cattle to farmers
near Leland who are preparing against
the day the boil weevii will arrive and
are going largely in to raising corn
and cattle and hogs. Mr.. Gayden will
ship car load a week until the supply
is exhausted To sell off poor stock, and
buy better that you will prepare pas
ture for is good idea.
