FEW BILLS PASSED.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 8. - Although
the legislature has been in session
more than four weeks less than half
a dozen bills have been passed, and
less than six have been signed by
Gov. Bilbo.
The bill appropriating salaries for
senators and representatives was
passed and signed early in the session.
but none of the fiacel or constructive
measures have passed either body.
so far the legislature has paid little
or no attention to bills appropriating
money or seeking to- raise money. 1t
appears that ginancial legislation is
being reserved for some time in the
future.
How to make ends meet is the PROF.
lem the legislature is to solve. SO far
nothing has developed to show how
the question is going to be settled.

the Nolen bill, providing that no per-
son who secured a divorce in Missis-
sippi could remarry within a period of
one year, except in cases of reconcil-
iation Mr.. Smith, of Tippah, led the
fight against the bill, saying he had
prepared a measure that would rem
edy the divorce evil, it providing that
no divorce case could be tried at the
same term of court in which it was
filed, having the effect of putting off
divorce trials for a year, giving es-
tranged couples time to kiss and

holdings of corporations.
Mr. Norwood spoke for the bill,
saying the judiciary committee re-
sented suggestions that it had been

der the terms Of the 1912 law.

WHERE WEEvILs HIDE.

Agricultural College, Miss, Feb g.
That a great many boil weevils spend
their winters inside the cottonseed
well protected from the weather, is
the discovery just made by DR.. H. b.
Brown, in charge of plant breeding
at the Mississippi A. & M. College Ex-
pertinent Station.
This scientist, therefore, is urging
the farmers to look carefully into
their seed before planting to make
sure they are not planting the pest
that will destroy the crop. He advises
against buying cottonseed from weevil
infested territory, and suggests that
the seed be treated with carbon BIZ
sulphide before planting in order that
the pest may be destroyed.
On investigation DR.. Brown discov-
cred that large numbers of the cotton
boil weevils pass through the winter
in this way, having apparently enter
ed the seeds after they were mature.
as the seed hulls are in a normal con.
dition Some of the seeds were hol-
lowed out completely while in others
seed kernels looked as if the weevil
had just been eating it, The weevils
were alive and active when found.
Reasoning from the number of
weevils found in the amount of seed
examined. DR.. Brown estimates that
there are fifty weevils in every bushel
of seed. OF this number a large part
will doubtless live to reproduce the
next season.
without doubt" he says, 'th!s
method of Information is one of the
important factors in spreading the
weevil to new localities through ship
ments of cottonseed and cottonseed
hulls from infested districts. In cases
where cottonseed is shipped from re-
gions of heavy infestation to weevil
free regions or where not yet abund-
ant, it is advisable to fumigate them.
if it is suspected that the seed con-
tains many it may be advisable to
fumigate them before planting.
''The cotton oed furnished safe
place for hiber ration, and since cotton
seed is rarely ever planted too deep
for the weeyil to emerge, it gives the
weevil the fr. .ther advantage of being
right on the ground even before the
first square ppears in the spring"
The state entomologist, r. w. Har-
ned, sugge' the following method
for destroying the weevils in the seed:
Place the racks CT seed in tight bin
or box, AMI then pour :. half pint of
carbon bis'llphide into each ~7r'r
Then seal the bill up as nearly air !
tight as possible and leave sealed for
twentyfour hours. This will give
time for the fumigant to penetrate to
all parts of the seed.

GRID TEAMS USE MASS PLAY
New style Of Attack Has Been Legal.
lied by Rules comnittee-Taeklin0
From Behind Prohibited.

The mass play devised by George
Foster Sanford, the Rutgers college
coach, may be adopted by elevens OF
other colleges as result Of the an
nOuncement that the new style of ut.
tack has been legalized by the football
rules committee. The play consists OF
the alignment Of three Of the four
backs Immediately behind three I'D
Joining players on the forward line.
It was used effectively by the Rutgers
eleven and proved formidable when
little ground was needed to retain the
ball or when the team was near the
enemy's goal, but In one Instance last
season 1t was declared Illegal.
Mr.. Sanford submitted the question
Of Its legality to the rules committee
and obtained decision that the play
was legitimate provided no part OF the
bodies of the three players forming the
secondary attacking line was within
one yard of the line Of scrimmage.
A suggestion by Mr.. Sanford that q
rule should be adopted prohibiting the
cutting down Of player from behind
was approved by the committee In
formally. He described 1t Us 1.-THE most

WHAT'S A SACRIFICE WORTH?
All Baseball Managers Do Not Agree
on Worth Of Play-Stallings Dis.
aarees With Jones.

What Is the value of II sacrifice hitf
Evidently all baseball managers do not
agree on the worth of the play. Fielder
Jones of the st. Louis American
league team declares the sacrifice hit
Is one of the most valuable plays In
baseball, and the recent success of his
team would indicate that Jones knows
considerable about the game AMI play.
On the other hand, George Stallings
of the Boston Nationals Is not at all
enthusiastic over the play and seldom
uses tin fact, much less than any
other manager in either league, and
the standing of the Boston team Is
certainly an enviable one. Opinions
Of other managers vary, but the sacri-
flee hit still has prominent place In
the game.
