THE BEST Of PROSPECTS
Government Man Finds Less WeeviIs
Here Than at Other Places
Corn Looks Fine.

For the general information OF
our readers we reproduce the fol.
lowing letter by an employe Of the
U. s. Agricultural Department, an
authority on this subject.
Laurel, Miss, July 8. 1918.
Mr.. j. W. McGrath, Brookhaven,
Miss.
My dear Mr.. McGrath:-I in
tended to call and see you before
got out of town yesterday after
returning from the country. How.
ever. was delayed by rains until
did not get back to town until al.
most train time.
Twas very agreeably surprised al
the situation as | found it. The
infestation around BrookhaVen al
this time is not more than half
what it was at Canton and Vicks-
burg. the last two points visited
before coming to Brookhaven. l
did not find a field yesterday where
the per cent Of punctured fruit
would exceed 10 per cent. Of
course, you have fields that / did
not visit, where no effort has been
made to control the weevils that
would run higher. However,
visited number of fields, incIud-
ing that of one negro, and / am
sure the above is a conservative es-
innate. This is very encouraging
and if the people keep up the fight
that they have been making. the
prospect is that Lincoln will make
considerably more cotton than she
made last year. Of course, we are
not "out of the woods" yet. The
old over-wintered weevils are fast
disappearing and it is no longer
advisable to try to pick them. But
great vigilance will be necessary to
keep the punctured squares in
which these weevils have laid their
eggs, picked and destroyed IN order
to reduce the next generation.
Garelessness could easily forfeit the
good work that your people have
done so far.
also saw some good corn fields
and was especially pleased to find
some good lespedeza meadows fol-
lowing oats. This is real farming.
| was also impressed with the re-
suits Mr.. Parnell is getting with
the negro, Warren Carter's corn
demonstration. He has a prospect
now of 40 bushels Per acre on this
plat. while just across small
ditch on the same land where he
has followed his own methods IA
will scarcely gel 1a4 third IL
much. I find that great many
negroes take considerable pride IN
this kind of work and are good inn
ltators and this will be a whole-
some lesson to them.
Yours very truly,
R. S. WILSON.

Explains Free Text Law.

That the school year may be short
ened if the new free school book law
is literally enforced is the statement
of Superintendent of Public lnstruc-
ton ]. E. Bray in ciruclar sent out
to the various school districts and off
GERS in the State. Superintendent Bray
suggests thatif the parents and teach
ers cooperate so that books now in
use may be used during the term and
no demand be made for new ones ex-
cept in exceptional cases, it may be
that the school year will not be short
ened
The circular sent states the new
law is mandatory and requires school
districts to furnish text books free to
school children There is no provision
made. however. for providing the
money to pay for the books. If the
money be taken from the general fund
it will mean that there will not be
enough to continue the schools the en-
tire year.
AT present nearly all children are
provided with school books purchased
by parents before the new law was
passed. These books run in series
so that in many cases a family has
enough books to provide the children
with the required texts. Copy books,
drawing books and such supplies
however. are used up each year and
will necessarily be purchased anew.

JUDGE MASSEY FAVORS A
SPECIAL SESSION.

Ia commenting on the situation
presented by the appointment OF
Congressman henry -. Clayton 10
I'LL the unexpired term OF senator
Johnston, OF Alabama, who died re
Gently, Judge w. A. Massey, former
United States Senator from Nevada,
taxes sides with the lawyers OF the
Senate who say that Governor
ONeil's position Is wrong, says the
Keno Journal.
incidentally Judge Massey said
there Is nothing on the statutes OF
Nevada now tor the direct election
OF an United States Senator, nor has
the Governor now the power to MAKE
an appointment nor call special cleo
ton,
Il believe the appointment of Con
gresham Clayton will be rejected by
the Senate said Judge Massey, and
that it ought to be. \ on Will observe
that these lawyers of the Senate who
have discussed the matter say Gov
ernor O'Neil has no power to make
an appointment There may be dis
senting opinions on this subject but
you will ind the lawyers agree to a
man that such is the law.
When the constitutional amend
ment went into effect, it suspended
all other laws providing for the APP
pointment or election of United States
Senator'S 1t provides a new method
to be followed from the time the
amendment went into operation. No
method not in conformity with the
plain directions of the fundamental
law will be permitted.
Alabama has no law on the sub
ject The constitution requires an
election to be had. 1t permits the
Governor to appoint only when there
is delegation of that power by the
Legislature and the Legislature has
not acted"
Asked about the situation in Neva-
da, Judge Massey said the constitu-
ton of the United States is the para
mount power and new laws must be
passed providing for the direct cleo
ton of United States Senators.
UNLESS there are laws passed di-
recting the holding of elections for
the direct election of an United States
Senator, there can be no election,
said Judge Massey. THE legislature
may also give the Governor power to
make temporary appointments. but
unless such a law be passed the Gov
ernor will have no power of appoint
ment."
Judge Massey said he thinks spe-
cial session OF the Legislature of Ne
vada is absolutely necessary if there
is to be election of an United States
Senator in November. 1914. He said
he believes the time should be after
the first of the year. probably in Jan
uary or February when the people can
be spared from work.
AS to the power of the Governor to
issue writs of election, Judge Massey
said law would be needed to direct
that and also law to govern the man
ner of the election.
81 do, not believe" said Judge Mas
sew. that the people would approve
calling a special election to fill va
cancy in the United States Senate
An election might cost Sl50,O0O or
more and the people would be willing
to wait until the next regular election
giving the Governor the power by law
TO make temporary appointment
pending the election Such an appoint
ment would not be for more than q
months and would save the expense OF
a special election"
