The following pertinent advice
has been issued by Mason Snow
den, State Agent for Louisiana of
t'e Farmers Cooperative Dem
~onstration Work, which should
be as applicable to Mississippi as
to our sister State:
The State has made a great
cotton crop in spite of drought,
July and August rains, army
worms, boil weevils and what not.
This is due to a combination of
good preparation, good seed, good
cultivation and a statewide fight
on the weevil.
"One of the largest factors in
the production of this crop was
the light infestation of the weevil
in the beginning, The light ines
tation was due in a large measure
to the sudden and early freeze,
October %, 1910. This freeze
killed all the cotton stalks, squares
and small bolls. All the weevil
larvae and pupae were killed. All
the adult weevil were forced into.
Information in a starving condition
all food being destroyed. Ali ght
emergence of weevil followed in
1911 in consequence This made
the weevil fight comparatively
light.
The army worms have done
mo- e good in the state than harm.
They have eaten all the foliage
and squares off the stalks, thus
preventing a good deal of the late
multiplication of the weevil.
This crop is ali open and can
be gathered quickly. Many fields
have been picked clean already.
"The farmers have a chance to
more than duplicate the freeze Of
1910, thus guaranteeing a small
emergence of weevil in the spring
of 1912. because they can repro
duce the same condition the freeze
did, two or three weeks earlier.
How" By the early destruc-
ton of the cotton stalks, thus kill
ing all larvae and pupae, and the
consequent starving of the adult
weevil. The weevil is forced into
winter quarters by cold. If all the
food supply is destroyed they
remain out and starve, looking for
food. Those that live until cold
weather comes go into Information
weak from starvation. Few could
live through to see cotton in the
Espring.
This crop should be gathered
as rapidly as possible to take adj
vantage of this opportunity, which
means so much to the crop Of 1912.
Cut the stalks, pile and burn as
soon as small limbs, leaves and
squares are dry. This will make
a quick fire. To wait until all the
wood is dry means the Matching
Of many larvae. Then plow the
land deeply-if possible use cover
crop.
Where the farmer has the team
and tools chop the stalks up with
discs and pillow under deeply and
entirely.
Let me earnestly urge every
cotton raiser to destroy his cotton
stalks Immediately on finishing
picking. 1t is too valuable a chance
to neglect. Don't argue about it.
Do it, for it will pay you in dollars

With strikes disturbing this
country, with bread riots and war
in the old world. business pros
poets are gloomy. remarks the
Commercial Appeal of recent date.
The market is strangely sensi-
tive. The least little things cause
an uneasiness which displays itself
Immediately.
When the dissolution of the
trusts was ordered by the United
States supreme court there was a
furry in Wall Street. Stocks took
a characteristic tumble. Righting
themselves, finally, all looked well.
Then came the rumors of war,
and uneasiness was again felt.
Today the market is trembling
in the balance. While there is no
real occasion for alarm, still the
future is gloomy.
The muskrats are building their
winter homes with unusual care.
This is an indication, according to
the nature prophets, of an unusu-
ally severe winter. The summer
drouth, the shortage Of some
crops, the gradual increase in the
price of food supplies, the 'ack of
work. the turbulent unrest in labor
circles, the reluctance with which
men of money are putting it into
circulation, all have a tendency to
cause uneasiness.
All will be we'll in the end, for
this country is too great, too open
with opportunity. There will be
readjustment along certain lines,
and this will come very soon, but
there is no occasion to accept the
present gloomy condition as
meaning that it will always be so.
The very fact that l.bor is ner.
vous and unsettled, that food
prices are advancing, that men are
unemployed, IS the reason why
men should turn their eyes toward
the country. The land offers
every man a chance to live. II
more would crowd from the fac
tories, from the poorly paid
employment of congested cities
and seek their fortune on the farm
they would be healthy, wealthy
and wise.
The call to the country is grow.
ing stronger and stronger every
day. Agriculture offers the solu-
ton Of the present problem Of the
poor. The work may not be as
attractive as that in the city, but
il IS mora-r>nsunsrativc.
Why boys should crowd into
the cities, live in poorly ventilated
boarding houses, slave at desks
and indoors, without the chance
of enjoying the air and sunshine
when their farm homes offer
relief from such hardships, is q
mystery. The gloomy business
conditions offer all the more
reason for returning to the coun.
try. Tickle the earth with a hoe
and make 1t laugh a harvest
Listen to natures teachings. Make
the farm pay, and smile at the
slaves of the city. Then you will
not be alarmed about business
conditions.
