Cotton Boil Weevil Is
Likely to Invade.

Truck growers associations are be-
ing formed in a large number of Mis-
sissippi communities, and especially in
that territory which has been and is
likely to be invaded to the cotton boil
weevil.
This is brought about not only by
the realization of the farmers them
selves that the insect is going to be
a real factor in the diminution of the
states crop next year but very eff.
fective method of the merchants in a
number of these communities who
have made practice of furnishing
supplies to farmers and who have CIV

by their crop prospects next year.

adopt the suggestion of the govern

In number of these places the

no doubt of their meaning, putting it
squarely up to the farmer to fol-

chicken coops and barn yards and be-
cause of the fire regulations governing

Portraying to our hearts the Mas

Leading to fadeless glories that crown
His holy hill.
Broad on the year, in allegorie tale,
Grim memory paints the sum Of
thought and deed,
OF fallen aims, of triumphs that avail
To grace the brow with moral vic

A tender voice the soul must bear and

Through Peace or Storm still
soundeth by the door;
"What plantest thou-in wealth of

In sacred thought, or sinners meager

What valued tithes hast garnered, to
grace the Masters store?"
The kiss of love, the clasp Of friendly

The childish song, resounding far and
nigh,
The well won year, where plenty
crowns the land,
And hopes bright arch is traced
across the sky
All these proclaim: "Our God is
how ring nigh,
With tender love, with healing in

To dry the tear, to drive away the

To hear the praise the loyal spirit
brings,
These be the blessings of the home
