Several Mississippi farmers, how

Many different poisons have been

has given good results under certain
conditions. 1t will not pay TO use the
poison unless infestation is moderate

Five pounds of powdered calcium

WILSON STUDIES
FOOD PROBLEMS

Paris, Jan. 11:-President Wilson
while awaiting the opening of peace
conferences has been studying the
food question and demobilization
problems.
American participation in allied in.
terveMion and the Bolsheviki move
ment are problems also studied.
1t is understood that Mr.. Wilson
has informed Premier Orlando of his
views as to Italy's aspirations in re-
CARDS to domination Of the Adriatic.
There is collateral issue In connec-
tion with the food situation which
concerns the economic situation In the
United States which has not been
worked out. Large food contracts
have been cancelled and this had led
farmers to speed up in hopes that
there would be ready market.
France having learned Of this has re-
newed some Of her contracts but ne
gotiations with England have not
made much headway. ,-3--...5s 10, s.s,,,.
