DEPARTMENT OPPOSES LATE
PLANTING.

The theory that the boil weevil can
be controlled by late planting of cot
ton better than by early planting is ex-
ploded as the result of experiments
concluded by the Bureau of Entomo-
logy of the Department Of Agriculture
The bureau has conducted many eX.
periments to determine whether late
planted cotton will produce a salts
factory crop. The results, it is said
have all been negative.
Because advocates of late planting
contend that the experiments of the
department had not been conducted
on a sufficiently large scale an unus
ually large experiment was conducted
in Louisiana last spring,
"The observations, says the depart
ment, prove in a very definite way
that late planted crops are sure to be
injured more severely than crops plant
ed early"

AN UNFAIR COMPARISON.

The N. 0. States laboriously cites
the figures to prove that New York
made much better terms for itself in
refunding it's bonds recently than did
Louisiana in similar case. Without
drawing comparison between New
York's and Louisiana's respective
wealth, resources and influence in the
money market, which can not but be
to the latteTs disadvantage at any
time and under any circumstances
the Empire State and the small Sugar
Bowl compared-yet Gov. Hall will
no doubt be willing to take the blame
for poor deal, if the States will also
expose the men, who made his course
the only one possible at the time. Gov.
Hall had in mind the issuance OF short
term bonds to tide over the tightness
of the bond market, but it is matter
of history that his support on that
point was practically non.existent. In
like manner, every other effort proved
abortive till the states capitalists saw
something good actually in sight. They
drove a hard bargain, by pressure of
circumstance while it was pos
sibly justifiable on account of general
financial stringency, at any rate, it
was not patriotic. Nor is it just to in
stitute comparisons to Gov. Halls dis
credit, when he did all that was hui
manly possible in the circumstances.
We repeat however that Gov. Hall
is big enough to shoulder his share of
the blame for sale not so good as
New York's, if the States will kindly
reveal all the causes incident to the
matter 1t could but exalt Gov. Hall in
general estimation besides being very
interesting reading.

ALL MUST BOOST.

1t is little use for the local editor to
waste his lungs and sprain his spine
in trying to boom a town when the
citizens all stand around with their
hands in their pockets and indiffer-
emily wait for something to turn up.
If the capitalists or business men do
not put their shoulders to the wheel
and do little boosting it is useless
for the editor to try and boom things.
He can write boom" articles till he
gets bald headed, but if the citizens
themselves do not take hold and push,
the town will forever stick in the mud.
Of what use is it for the local paper to
suggest improvements and new enter
prises if the suggestions are never act
ed upon? One man can not boom
town. 1t requires the concerted action
of the citizens. When one man Shout
ders a town and attempts to carry it
there are always lot of cranky kick
ers ready to jump on top of the load

the project in view they will agree
with us that this sectionoffers. the

GETTING RID OF WRONG IDEA
Unidentified Exchange:

Unidentified Exchange:
Laddie, in Gene Stratton-P orter's de-
lightful novel of that name, is talking
to the father of the Princess:

of as sound manhood as you can find
on Gods footstool have never been

touched woman, save as lifted and
cared for my mother, and hers, and my
sisters. AS to my family and educa-
ton, she can judge for herself l offer
her the first and only love of my
heart"
Did she accept him? Mind, he was
husky, clean, civilized and capable,
quite modern young man, as young
men go; and though not rich in money,
yet was earning enough for two. Did
she jump at the chance to unite in the
home partnership with such first
class, strapping fellow, fit to be the
father of wholesome sons and daugh-
tiers?
No, she didn't-at least not at first.
She objected because he worked with
his hands; because, rather than house
himself daytime in stuffy office and
make money off Of other peoples

For the Princess had been educated,
like so many of us, to believe that
work and gentility couldn't mix-that,
to be gentleman, chap had to wear
billed shirt, and live on other folks
tafter the fashion Of the flea on dog.
1t took some time for her to get this
silly notion out of her otherwise sen
sible head, just as it does for folks in
real life-and some of the latter never
get rid OF it. But when she did, she
made leap for Laddie brawny arms,
and they were as happy, ever after

dream people and don't have to spat
over the ups and downs and cross cur

They could if they tried hard enough.

There is danger that New Orleans

at least put childish things more to

IN RE, LATE PLANTING.

Stoneville, Miss, Jan. "a, 1914.
If in your opinion the farmers of
your parish would like to try the late
cotton planting system (which has
never been tried) all ginners should
meet and form Parish Cotton Asso-
citation and inoculate their customers
and friends with the idea of May Is,
1914, planting and as many as possible
are brought into the Association.
East of the Mississippi River and
south of the Alabama & Vicksburg
Railroad in the States of Mississippi
and Louisiana early planting (April
18th or earlier) has proved almost alb
solute failure. The ginning statistics
in every parish and county show that
only one-tenth of normal crop is be-
ing produced
: The writer has arranged with speak
ers to give your Association all of the
information desired along the lines of
late planting, and you must first or
ganize thoroughly SO that suitable
speaking or speech.making date can
be arranged.
You can then notify the undersign-
ed at P. o. Box 70, Stoneville, Miss.
Yours respectfully,

Mississippi has gone out fishing for
the loan shark, and will, it is to be
hoped, devise a net that will catch
every creature of the kind, that preys
upon the necessities of the poor. What
is done may be initiated or improved
upon by the general assembly of Lou
isiana in May, since this species of
shark is only too common. 1t is con-
fined neither to city nor country, but
thrives everywhere. Any man who
exacts an unfair rate of interest pred
icating his charge on the needs of his
client, is a loan shark, whether he
takes is as a fee or on loan.
