WON'T SUBSTITUTE CORN.
Special to The Neios.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 13.-The farm
ers of Mississippi will not yield to the
clamor of buyers to substitute yellow
corn for white corn, according to J. F.
Mckay, director of farm extension
work in this state. They cannot make
such a radical change. right at the
beginning of a planting season, and u
there is any substitution it will have
to be brought about gradually.
1--WE have told the New orleans
buyers that it is impossible for our
growers to make such a sweeping
change, and they mag as well make
their arrangements to buy out white
corn, even if it brings lower prices"
says Mr.. Mckay. 1--WE have found
few growers who have made splendid
crops of yellow corn by using South
ern-grown seed for several years. we
feel that other corn growers should
be encouraged to plant yellow corn
and in a few years we can have both
varieties well developed. If any farm
ers desire to start the breeding and
planting of yellow corn they should
try it first in small quantities with
home grown seed. There is a strong
demand for yellow corn, especially in
the West Indies and Mexico, but at
present we have practically no seed
types developed in yellow variety, and
it would cost our farmers a million
or more dollars to make radical
change. 1t would be foolish to at
tempt planting with unaccilmated
Northern seed, and no man who knows
anything about corn growing will use
seed that have not been acclimated
Our white types are prolific, and show
up as good as the yellow in a feeding
tests.
Corn is nearing the dollar mark
and will probably remain high, in sym
pathy with wheat We ought to plant
at least one-third of the acreage here
.tofore devoted to cotton in corn, but
it is entirely out Of the question to at
tempt a radical change in our seet
type, for it will take several years o
seeding and selection to put our croI
in this state on the yellow basis"

NEW STATES PROPOSED.

Washington, Feb. 13. - The move
ment in Texas to trisect that state
into North. South and West Texas,
and to divide California into two sep
arate state governments is the prin-
cipal topic in political circles at the
capital If carried out, there would
be six additional United States SEN
ators, quite enough under close cir
cumstances to swing the balance Of
power.
The Texas legislature has under
consideration joint resolution for an
amendment to the state constitution
to divide Texas into three states.
North Texas would have Palestine for
its capital, West Texas would have
Abilene for the seat of government
and South Texas would retain the pres.
ent capital at Austin. The resolution
is bound to stir up big interest in po-
litical circles. 1t is said among polit
ical leaders that the liquor question
agitation has had a large part in the
divergence between the sections OF
Texas. There is also a feeling in that
state that the vast state was not suf
ficiently represented at Washington.
The California movement was begun
by the Peoples Association of that
state, which has circulated a petition
Russell L. Dunn, a civil engineer and
mining man is heading the petition
work. "The movement is purely 20
litical one," he says. "The main pur
pose is to gain an additional state
for the West, and so give the West
two additional senators and its people
added prestige in the affairs Of tn,
nation. The petitioners seek to place
an amendment on the ballot in mex
years election, for a referendum vote
The petitioners seek to separate into
new state the eight counties in thu
lower part of the state, below the TIE
hachapi River.

seeds have all perished. This means,
for example. that the Egyptian crop
Of 1914 would not be available for
Southern mills until October, 1916.
The necessity for this long period Of
storage arises from the fact that ex-
periments have shown that not all OF
the larvae of the pink boil worm trans
form during the first summer follow
ing harvest, and certain percentage
may continue as larvae into the sec
ond summer. The department, more
over, is informed that foreign cotton
is frequently kept in storage in this
It is. therefore, probable that the few
southern mills which are dependent
on foreign cotton can secure supplies
to meet this new condition until they
ire able to make permanent arrange
nents for the future. Furthermore it
vas brought out at the May hearing
that a sufficient quantity of long
staple and Egyptian cotton is now pro
iuced in Arizona and elsewhere in the
South to meet any imperative and i'm
| mediate need.
| For these reasons the department
believes that the proposed restrictions
Will not work serious hardships to
southern manufacturers. In any event,
however, they will be far less damag-
ing than the entry of an insect which
would probably prove fully as disas
/ .rous as the boil weevil. In Egypt,
where the pink boil worm was intro
| duced about five years ago. it has been
known in some cases to reduce the
yield so per cent. In addition to this
the amount of oil obtained from the
| seed is lessened from Is to 20 per cent.
The pink boil worm hibernates in the
cotton seeds in the larvae state. For
| this reason importations of cotton
seed have been prohibited since May
49, 1918. Shortly after the establish
ment Of this quarantine, several par
, cells of cotton seed from Egypt were
intercepted by customs officers and
found to be heavily infested with liv-
ing larvae of the pink boil worm. 1t
is not sufficient, however, to prohibit
importations of cotton seed, because
faulty ginning frequently leaves cotton
seed in bales of lint Investigations
have shown that Egyptian bales con-
tanned an average of 600 seeds each
and living larvae have been found in
some of these seeds. In the cleaning
process preliminary to spinning, these
seeds are removed with other waste
and are frequently used as fertilizer
and for other purposes. 1t is common
practice in the South for the trash
from the mills. which may include
seed, to be discharged upon ground
within a stones throw Of cotton fields.
Under the prevailing conditions it
seems probable that to the small
amount of Egyptian cotton used in the
Southern mills is chiefly due; the fact
that the pink boil worm is not yet
established in the United States. I'm
munity that rests on such fiimsy
foundation can hardly be expected to
continue long.
