COTTON GROWERS
FIGHT BOIL WEEVIL
MISSISSIPPI FARMERS ARE NOW
PURCHASING POISoNS.
PEST IN MANY COUNTIES
Will Be Fully Prepared for the Battle
and Hope to Greatly Reduce the
Ravages of the Dreaded En-
envy of the Cotton Crop.

Jackson.-Spurred to action by the
special bulletin issued by DR.. R. w. Har-
ned, state entomologist, stating that the
dreaded army worm has appeared in cot
ton fields in many counties, the farmers
Of Mississippi are preparing to wage
battle on the insect, and orders are be-
ing placed for large quantities of paris
green and arsenate of lead, to be used in
poisoning the pest.
In many counties in this state last
year the rayages of the army worm were
far more disastrous than the work of
the boil weevil. By stripping the plant
of the leaves during the month of Aug
ust they destroyed all prospects of a
top crop, and thus greatly shortened the
yield, as early autumn weather was ideal
for a top crop.
DR.. Harmed is distributing his special
bulletin in every county in the state,
giving farmers explicit instructions on
methods of fighting the army worm, and
he especially emphasizes the importance
of getting an early start.
Carload after carload of paris green
and arsenate of lead will be rolling into
the state within the next week, and the
farmers are expected to commence their
attack with the first appearance of the
insect.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT
L. & N. AND QUEEN AND CRESCENT
HARDEST HIT.
Louisville and Nashville Increased From
$4,000 to $27, 500 a Mile, Q. & c.
From $4,000 to $4,000
Per Mile.

Jacksonville officials Of = number Of
the railroad corporations doing business
in Mississippi have been officially notified
just how they stand in the recent re-
vision of ad valorem assessments made
by the railroad commission. Since the
commission sat to hear protests, there
has been nothing official given out by
which the final decision could be def
nitely known. 1t is true members OF the
commission have intimated about what
their disposition of the subject would
be.
Secretary Galceran of the commission
has written the officials of the Mobile
and Ohio, Southern Railway and South.
ern Railway in Mississippi, Louisville
and Nashville, Illinois Central, Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley, Queen and Cres'
cent lines and the Frisco an identical
letter, containing an announcement OF
the definite decision of the commission.
All these, with the exception of the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley main line,
have been materially increased, the most
drastic being the valuation placed against
the Louisville and Nashville, increased
from $4,000 to $27,50o per mile, and
the Queen and Crescent, from $4,000
to $4,000 per mile.
The letter further states that the as
sessment Of sidetracks is not yet finally

Great Things for Morocco.

According to a consular report, the
exports OF Morocco last year were
valued at IS, 900, O0O, of which more
than half was grain. principally bar.

Beans and cattle made up the rest.
Although the mention Of Morocco

many vineyards have already been
