FARMERS SHOULD
Be MORE ACTIVE
GOVERNMENT CROP EXPERTS SAY
BOIL WEEVlL ON FARMS is
EASY TO GET RID OF.
Squares Should Be Destroyed Weekly.

State Demonstration c. w. Watson
and County Demonstration w. F. Hay
den, of the Agricultural Department,
were in the city yesterday en- route to
Little Rock from Magnolia. Their ar
rival at Little Rock will complete Il
tour of nearly every county in South
Arkansas. where they have addressed
the farmers and travelled extensively
over the cotton plantations, in the
boil weevil determination campaign.
Mr.. Watson, in conversation with a
Graphic reporter, said: Il find that
the weevil is very bad this year-more
SO than last year-and the farmers as
q whole. are not making the effort
necessary to prevent great damage by
I the little insect l find that the
weevil is in spots over the fields, and
1t would not be hard task to gather
up and destroy the squares weekly.
This would be especially beneficial at
this time, as the second crop" Of
weevils are just now beginning to
hatch out and will be active in a rev
days..
Il have advised the farmers at all
points to continue shallow cultivation,
thus retaining the moisture and caus-
ing the plant to fruit more freely.
Owing to the war waged on the
weevil last year and consequently the
minimum damage done by this pest,
find that many of our farmers are
over-confident this season, feeling
that the weevil is not going to be so
bad this year. This is mistake-our
friends should be more watchful this
year than last, as the weevil is here
In larger numbers than before"
Messrs. Watson and Hayden will be
in Jefferson county the latter part Of
this month to go over the situation
and will make thorough investiga-
ton of the conditions locally. They
left yesterday afternoon for Little

pears from the testimony that she
would not have signed the agreement
had she known the true facts. The
mistake is with reference to material
parts of the subject matter of the
agreement. Because OF that mistake
the minds of the parties did not meet
and it would be negotiable to specif-
ically enforce the agreement. The
contract is wholly eXecutory The
complaint will, therefore, be dis
missed for want of equity"

brought by E. NJ Ta1liaferro to en-
force the specific performance of an
agreement entered into by himself
and Mrs. Josephine Boyd for the ex-
change OF land has been dismissed by
Judge J. M. Elliott.
BY the terms of the agreement the
plaintiff was to convey to the defen-
dant a tract of land in the town of
Rison, Arkansas, upon which the
Commercial Hotel is situated, and the
defendant was to convey to him GER
tain lots in the City OF Pine Bluff, Ar
kansas. In addition to conveying the
tract Of land in Rison the plaintiff

Mr. Taliferro rendered the money,
deeds and abstracts to Mrs. Boyd but
upon her refusal to carry out her
part OF the contract, refusal based
upon misunderstanding OF the area
of the property and the location Of
it's boundry lines, he brought suit for
the enforcement of the contract.
In Judge Elliot's opinion dismissing
the case he says: 1.-The equitable rem
edy of the specific enforcement OF
contracts is not matter OF course.
| It is never granted unless it is entire
ly in accordance with equity and good
| conscience. 1t is therefore a we'll
settled rule that in suits for the speci-
fic enforcement of agreements, even
when written, the defendants may, by
means of parOl evidence, show that
! through the mistake OF BOTH or either
of the parties, the writing does not
express the real agreement, or that
the agreement itself, was entered in
to through a mistake as to it's subject
matter, or as to it's terms. In short,
a court OF equity will not grant its
! affirmative remedy to compel the
/ defendant to perform a contract
which he did not intend to make, or
which he would not have entered in
to had it's true effect been under
stood
2 Pomeroy's Equity Jurisprudence
Sec, $50.
1t appears from the above that in
an action for specific performance il
is not necessary, in order to defeat
the action, for the defendant to show
fraudulent Misrepresentation on the
part OF the plaintiff. On this point
Mr.. Pomeroy continues, as follows:
where ever the defendants mis-
take was, either Intentionally or not
induced or made probable or ever
possible, by the acts or omissions o.
the plaintiff, then, on the plalnes
principles of justice, such error pre-
vents specific enforcement OF the
agreement Such cooperation by the
plaintiff, however is not at all essen

defendants own, or that OF his agent
and for which the plaintiff is moi

deed the very essence OF the equita-

effect of mistake.

COTTON CROP IN
CRITICAL STAGE
Weather Will Strongly In
fluence Market This
Week

New Orleans, April 20-Weather con.
dtions over the belt and the struggle ovei
the May position will be the most impor-
tant influences in the cotton market this
week. unless some very strong politica
developments come to light.
The crop is now in its first critical
stage. Planting is rapidly coming to q
close. seed is terminating and in the
earlier parts of the cotton region chop
ping out is progressing fast What Is
needed to bring the entire crop up to q
good stand is bright, warm weather, will
moderate showers at intervals of severa
days. Such are the conditions that would
be called perfect and such conditions
would weigh against the price of cotton
On the other hand, lack of rain in those
sections where the ground is too dEy foi
seed to germinate, cold weather or toe
much rain, would encourage the bulls.
Cold weather would not only injure young
cotton, but 1t would prevent seed from
terminating and would tend TO make it
rot in the ground. Too much rain would
prevent work in the fields and would en-
courage the growth of grass and weeds
along with the yonug cotton.
The struggle for the control of the May
position in the markets on this side of
the water may cause seemingly illogical
price movements this week. II the
weather does not show much change one
way or the other 1t is likely that the
May position may assume much impor-
tance, especially 1t is tending to make
spot owners in the south firmer than ever
in their views regarding prices. In this
connection it is probable that any sensa-
tional bulges in old crop prices will be
met by sales from spot owners In the
south, who will seize favorable opportuni-
ties to hedge or TO sell contracts with the
view of rendering their holdings.
The market promises activity and also
more decided opinions on both sides OF
the market 1t is likely that this week
will see a considerable shifting of the
interest of the trading public from the old
crops to the new because the old crops
are subject to manipulation and the new
crops are increasing in activity.
