Many good orchards have already

into execution. The lime-sulphur wash
is most highly recommended by orchard

a sprayer. These sprayers are some

a few trees. Why not encourage some
energetic man to buy one, mix his solu-

HELD SECRET CONFERENCE.
Much Mystery in Meeting of Cottor
Manufacturers.

Much speculation Is rife in industrial
circles concerning the purpose of the
conference of cotton mill owners and
managers held behind closed doors at
Meridian. No information concerning
the object of the meeting has as yet
leaked out. Practically all of the mills
in the state-about fourteen in mum,
ber-were represented.
The textile industry in this state has
been in a rather bad way during the
past year. Several of the largest plants
are closed down, notably the Mississippi
Mills at Wesson, while several Others
are running on short time.
1t is reported that at the Meridian
meeting a state association was formed,
the purpose of which is to bring about
a betterment of conditions through or
gained effort, and to endeavor to get
the industry solidly on its feet one,

PROF.. MCKAY IS HOPEFUL
ONE MAN HAS AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW
OF THE CROP OUTLOOK.
Boil Weevils Are Maturing Earlier Than
Usual, and They Will Die of Old
Age Before They Are Able to
Inflict Damage.

Jackson.-Hon. j. F. Mckay, field dr.
doctor of the A. & NJ. College corps, gave
the following interview on agricultural
conditions in the state that is the first
hopeful note sounded for several weeks:
1T would seem a difficult task to
find anything hopeful in the farm situa-
ton in Mississippi so late in the season
with a general rain coming down at
the rate of about an inch an hour with
comparatively little blowing done and
very little planting, due to the contin-
ued downpours since December, but IA
ture has a wonderfully constructed COM
pensation balance that is hard to under
stand until final results have obtained.
"a monster crop of cotton to be used
up, reduction in the acreage has been
advocated and from past experience We
know that under ordinary conditions this
matter could not be controlled, but provi-
dence has stepped in and forced a reduc-
ton, with a consequent stiffening of
prices. The warm weather of the last
few days is bringing the weevils out of
their winter quarters and a large part
of those coming out now will become
decrepid, die of old age and starvation
before they have any cotton to work on,
as there has been very few early plant
ing in a larger part of the cotton belt.
1t takes the third generation to do any
considerable damage and they must have
squares to deposit their eggs before
these generations can be Matched and
brought to maturity, so the bad weather
condition at present provided We have
dry weather later may help the fight on
these insects later. We still have Is to
20 days left to get in the cotton crop
and with smaller acreage and rapid cul-
~tivation the fight might not have proved
any more difficult if we had had a nor
maj season.
"In regard to the truck crops early
in the year we had promise of very
heavy paintings, and the first estimates
have been very greatly reduced, conse.
a better price can be expected.
Fair paintings have been already made
of tho leading perishable crops. As to
fruit the trees have set a heavy healthy
crop and little damage can be
done at present to this crop. The small
fruits, such as berries, are about ten
lays from maturity and are little dam
,ged by the rains thus far.
"The farmers have taken advantage
