WEEvIL EVERYWHERE.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. ga bulletin
recently issued by the Department of
Agriculture at Washington states that
every county in Mississippi is infested
with the Mexican boil weevil.
While this is practically true. it is
not literally SO, according to etate-
ment recently issued. by Prof. r. W..
Harmed. state entomologist, saying
that no weevils have been reported in
the county Of Tippah, near the Ten,
nessee line. However, it is possible
that the federal authorities received
weevil reports from their own agents
in Tippah, and no similar report was
sent to the Mississippi experiment
station.
The ravages of the pest during the
current cotton season have been much
less than expected. The deterioration
in crop prospects was due more to the
protracted drought than the work of
the weevil.

WILL BEGIN OPERATIONS.

Picayune, Miss, Oct 26.-The mill
OF the Jordan River Lumber Company
at Kiln, Miss, will begin operations
next week and will employ several
hundred men. This mill was COM
pleted about two years ago but was
never operated on account of the un-
satisfactory condition of the export
lumber market. Edward Hines, of Chi
cago, is president of the company
and the mill is one of the largest in
South Mississippi.
Owing to the improvement in the
lumber market and the large amount
of timber blown down by the storm
ali mills in this section are operating
full time and many are running night
shifts and some of the mill men are
complaining of scarcity of labor.
