Three opinions were read. JUS

In his dissenting opinion Chief

BOIL WEEVLS ARE HERE
Now Is the Best Time to Watch Cot
ton Plants to Hold Insects
in Check.

jackson. Miss, May l2.-The
boil weeyil has made its appear
ance in the buds.of young cotton,
according to S. Y. Yates, demon
|stration agent for Kinds county,
who made an inspection trip in the
territory adjacent to Jackson last
week.
Il have no doubt that any farm
er who will look. in the buds of
young cotton will find weevils. ("
says Mr.. Yates. "and want to
urge every cotton grower that now
is the time to get busy.
When you find a weevil, kill
him on the spot. Go over your
cotton thoroughly and kill all you
find. If you do not kill the vice.
vii, he will kill your cotton. Some
may claim that the picking of the
insects will do no good. That ar
gument is absurd. Several years
qf practical experience in dealing
Eith the pest has shown conclusive
Iy that much good can be done by
hlcking the weevils. We destroy
otato bugs to keep them from de-
4troying our potatoes, and tobacco
worms to keep them from destroy
ing our tobacco Why shouldn't
we do the same with the cotton
weevil.
Every weevil killed now means
the cutting off of hundreds later in
the season. 1t is time for the
farmers to get busy"
What Mr.. Yates says is unques-
tionably true.
From present indications and re-
ports, there will be an early and a
heavy emergence of the boil vice.
vii from their winter quarters.
This should not cause unnecessary
or undue Encouragement to the
farmers.
A heavy early emergence of the
weeyil is easier to control than a
late gradual one. With heavy
early emergence, the fight on the
weevil can be concentrated into a
shorter period and can be won
while the cotton is still small. Re-
member that the successful control
of the weevil means an intensive
fight to prevent the overwIntered
weevil from raising the first brood
In the cotton squares. Therefore,
the earlier that the overwintered
weevil emerges, the easier the con-
troll as the cotton is small and the
squares are scarce. The life of the
overwintered weevIl after emer-
nee is comparatively short, being
bout Hfteen days.

Lincoln County Farmers Have Tried
It-It Will "Turn the Trick"

A mixture of lubricating oil and
moth balls is sure death to boil
weevils. according to G. M. Manor,
a planter, who lives few miles
south of Yazoo City. Mr.. Manor
thinks he has discovered a remedy
for the pests that have proved SO
destructive in Mississippi and other
states where cotton is raised.
1t is said that Mr.. Manor made
forty-seven bales of cotton with
four families, while his neighbors
made something like a bale and a
half to the family. in a section
that was badly infested with the
weeyils. The plan of Mr.. Manor
to get rid of the weeviI was
unique and simple. and very
effective. he says. The plan simply

Judge Holden and His Duties in
Copiah County.

The spring term of the Copiaa
County Circuit Court convened
Monday. with Judge B Holden
presiding and District Attorney
II. v. Wall on hand to look after
the States interest. Judge Holden
delivered a brief. but very sensible
and forceful charge to the Grand
Jury, calling attention to the stat
uary crimes, but especially empha-
sizing the selling of whisky and the
carrying of concealed weapons,
saying these two crimes were at
the bottom Of most other crimes.
He instructed the jury to send
back to the Justices of the Peace
all misdemeanor crimes. stating his
belief that such matters ought to
be handled in the inferior courts,
and not lncumber the docket of the
Circuit Court, to the expense of
the taxpayers Judge Holden also
advocated the employment Of a
skilled accountant to audit the
books Of the county, stating that
1t was a physical iTnpossibility for
the jury to thoroughly check up
transactions covering the handling
of about $4,000 the receipts of
the county each year. The charge
made favorable impression. as
has also the prompt and business
like manner in which the new Judge
has dispatched business.
The criminal docket will be taken
|up next Monday. and the term will
be completed in three weeks. pozsi-
bly, in less time.
