 We are facing the shortest cotton crop that has ever been grown in the last decade. As the result of bill which was passed In Congress by United States Senator D. D.

How ever, their estimate is still entirely too high. We have asked that a sec end resolution be passed requesting mat the Government issue a supple mentary report on the indicated yield. Under no condition can the growing cotton crop exceed 9,767,oOo bales. This being our estimate and it is full.

BOIL WEEVlLS REPORTED
IN MISSISSIPPI COTTON

Boil weevils are appearing in large
numbers In the cotton fields. according
to crop reports received here during
the past few days, and indications are
that the farmers are going to have
more trouble with this pest during the
current season than for several years.
The early arrival OF the weevil is
attributed to the excessive rains Of
the past month. Heretofore the weevil
has not appeared in damaging num-
bers until the latter part Of June. While
the first crop does but little damage
TO the plant, early appearance be-
tokens n prolific second crop during
the period when the staple Is putting
forth quares and blooms.
Reports state that weevils are espe-
cially numerous in the %lowlands. where
the crop is also threatened with de-
struction by grass and weeds. Only
In the uplands have the farmers been
able to keep the crop comparatively
clean during the past month.
