Wsevils are Very Late.

From the Jackson News.
According TO reports received b re
from over the state, especially the
counties heretofore badly afflicted With
the pest. boil weevils are singulf rly
late in making their appearance tnis
year.
At this period last season wee'ils
were sitting on the cotton stalks " It.
ing for the blooms to appear, and they
started their work Of devastation ca ".
In no community thus far heard from
has the weevil yet appeared. 1t would
be unreasonable. Of course, to hope
that they will not appear, but farmers
are very much encouraged over their
late arrival. especially in sections where
a large cotton acreage has been plant d.
The farmers in South Mississippi have
p tched the largest acreage in five years,
seemingly being of the opinion that the
weevil is becoming innocuous.
Cotton stands are generally good. The
crop has been planted somewhat earlier
than last year, and rapid Roadway is
being made with cultivation. Even in
those sections Of the delta that were
under water ten days ago planters are
getting seed in the ground, and feel
confident that rapid ~sprouting will fol-
'ow. The receding waters left a sedi-
ment from two to five inches in Delta
and the soil, and this not only perma-
benefits the lands but will has
ten the maturity Of this years crop,
While the planting season is radidly
itself in moments of intense cul-
and days of growth and irui-
ton. it seems to be a most acceptable
time to glance at general crop condi-
tons in this section. In many places
rotation Of crops and the substitu-
ton Of other articles of produce in lieu
Of cotton has caused a change in gener-
al farming conditions. According to
he present outlook there will be a larg-
n acreage of cotton this year than has
been the case in the past three seasons
1t seems to be a certainty that the
people of Mississippi realize that their
money crop must be king cotton
The advent of the boil weevil has
'aused many farmers to raise more
grain and food stuff than has been the
rlstom, but all are again looking to a
otton yield for ready cash.

A Notable Feature.

All of our readers are more or less in
terested in the great Confederate re-
union, which is to be held at Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, May 1928. The ranks of
the veterans are fast thinning out, and
each year the interest in their gather
ings becomes more intense. The site
for this years reunion is particularly
appropriate, as it was the scene of some
of the most noted battles of the Civil
War. Realizing the Importance of this
event, the BEACON will publish a high
ly interesting illustrated article on
these famous battlefelds, written BY
James Polk Smart, historian of the
Chattanooga hickamauga National
Park Commission.

THE PRESIDENT
AND Mr.. SISSON.

Representative Sisson Of Mis-.
sissippi, whose talk in the House
on the Japanese question recent.
ly gained him a kind of promi.
hence, was invited yesterday t
a conference with the President.
He had previously given notice
of his purpose to discuss the
same delicate subject again on
Friday. According to the White
House statement. President Will
son urged him to say nothing
that would offend the SENSIBLE
ties of Japan or interfere with
the current negotiations between
Washington and Toxic.
The request, circumstances
considered, is not unreasonable,
and it is very much to be hoped
that the Mississippi Congressman
will comply with it. He cannot,
of course, be compelled to hold
his tongue, and the incendiary
utterances of certain of the Japa-
nese jingoes might be cited by
our own hotheads as ample provo
cation for a retort in kind from
the floor of the House. But this
people can well afford to set the
Japanese an example of good
temper, moderation and self-con-
troll. Nothing is to be gained at
this juncture by offensive or pro-
vocative speech. There is NJ
present need Of a display of pop
ular temper. 1t is important
that the administration be no
hampered or embarrassed unnec
essarily in the conduct of its ne.
gotiatisns with Japan. Whethe
the diplomatic exchanges succee
or fail, the American positio
will be all the stronger for hav
ing avoided the displays of trucu
lence that have been staged al
Toxic.
What Representative Sisson
had planned to say will keep"
we have no doubt. There is a
possibility that it will have to be
said later. 1t is not conceivable
hat this administration or any
other American administration,
will yield to all the demands of
the mass meeting in Toxic last
Saturday. Nor would such a
surrender in any case be ap-
proved by Congress. Mr.. Sisson
nay save his unpropitiatory re-
for possible use in the fu-
At this juncture it seems
be the plain duty of Congress-
men to avoid offensive or irrita-
i've remarks regarding Japan or
he Japanese, They can serve
no useful purpose and might do
'ome harm. Times Democrat.

Weekly Letter From John H. Page,
 Commissioner of Agriculture.

I hope to see the farmers of Ark ansas raise more alfalfa. The value of alfalfa as crop and as soil builder has become we'll established by this time. Many farmers are growing it profitably. There are many intances in all parts of the state. Yet many farm CTS hesitate to grow alfalfa for fear it will not grow on their farm. Do not hesitate nor delay; if you are not grow ing it, prepare for an acre or two this | fall.
 say prepare, for now is the time to begin your preparations. Of course, there is always more or less preliminary talk, but let us assure that the pre- liminary talking has already been done.
 Now is the time to begin actual pre- parations for sowing seed next fall. Set apart the land you want to SOW to alfalfa, and prepare it well. See that it is well broken. Then disc and roll and then disc again. Pulverize thoroughly and kill out every bit of vegitation. Then plant to COW peas. Sow thick and try to get good stand. If weeds grow among the pea vines, do not allow them to seed, but go among and pull or cut the weeds.
 When the peas are ready for hay, cut them and cure. You may let a second growth come if you like, but be sure to watch the weeds and grass. Keep them cut so none will get to seed In the fall rebreak your land and disc it. Put it in splendid fix; make a fine seed bed and pulverize and free from all weeds and grass. Get the soil in good condition and ready to plant by the middle of October Then SOW the al- falfa.
 Be sure and take pains in selecting the seed. Good seed is essential. Be careful where you buy and have nothing but the purest and the best. Do not accept mere guarantee, put investigate where and by whom the seed were grown. Give them a good trial. If you do not get good stand do not get discouraged, but try again next year on the same land. It may take
