BOIL WORM PEST
CAUSES CONFLICT

States Not Agreed as TO Course. Texas
Growers have Failed to Back Up
Government.
Washington, April 7.-Sharply con-
ficting proposals for meeting the pink
boil worm pest, which has attained
foothold in certain Texas cotton grow
ing areas, spreading from Mexico, and
has also broken out in Louisiana, were
presented today before the federal
horticultural board by state officials,
representatives in congress and dele
cations from nearly all the cotton
growing states. Representatives OF the
states outside Texas demanded that a
federal quarantine be invoked against
the whole of Texas, unless it's citizens
agree to abolish cotton growing COM
pletely in infested areas for three
years.
The Texans, led by Governor Hobby,
presented counter plan to allow cot
ton planting this year under strict re-
gionai quarantine, with a promise to
prohibit the cropping in 1921 if the
boil worm appears.
The Louisiana delegation assured the
board that by voluntary action, al
lready undertaken, backed up with a
special session Of the legislature, the
growers would abstain from cropping
the lands on which the worm has been
discovered.
There wa sconsiderablc heat in tho
argument before the board, especial.
ly when DR.. G. l.. Marictt, it's chairman
said fatty that the Texas growers ant
state government had failed to back
up the government in it's fight on tho
pest, and were now advancing prop
Iosition which might make eradication
Of the worm impossible. The Texan:
retorted with the assertion that thu
board could not get anywhere will

MITCHELL PALMER
DEFENDS PRESIDENT

.rllree-Quarters Of Million Dollars
Killed Treaty and League, Says At
tOrney General.
Macon, Ga, April S.-"Three quar-
ters of million dollars killed the
treaty Of peace, and the league of ma
tions covenant" charged Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer here to-
night in his address in behalf Of his
own candidacy for tie presidential
nomination in Georgia. City hall audi
torium, was packed with what was
said to have been the largest crowd
ever assembled there.
with the majority vote purchased
in Michigan" he continued, Senator
Lodge organized the foreign relations
committee and refused to report the
treaty. If the democrats had carried
Michigan--if the republican par. had
spent say, only couple Of hundred
thousand dollars-the democrats would
hace organized tho senate and the
foreign relations committee would
have been passed. 1t took months Of
struggle to get these democrats to de-
sert the party"
The attorney general defended the
administration Of President Wilson.
He read letter from Senator Hoke
Smith, who few nights ago criticiz-
ed the attoreny general from the
same platform. The letter was dated
ter the deportation Of the "reds," as
follows:
II am just sending this one Of many
appreciative editorials appearing in
Georgia papers. May l add my own
sincere congratulations to you and the
cause. If at any time l can be of as.
sistance to you in the senate be assur-
ed will appreciate your calling Oh
me-"
He declared that the purpose of Sen.
ator Hoke Smith and Senator Reet
and others was to repudiate Wilson
and embarrass the present administra
tion and to change the democratic
policies.
They say | cannot carry Pcnnsyl
vania," said the attorney general 81

who can carry Pennsylvania, I'll b.

Mr.. Palmer referred to criticisms O
his Quakerism and statements that h
has refused the post Of secretary o
war in 1916 and could not, therefore
be the commander Of the army an

NEW PEACE PARLEY
WITH REDS LIKELY
Poland Has Accepted Second
Proposal for Conference, U.
S. Hears UnoffiCiaIIy.

Rumors that peace negotiations be-
tween the Russian Soviet authori-
ties and the Poles will be resumed.
through Polsnd's acceptance OF the
Bolshevikis' proposal for a new par
ley, came from abroad TO several
leading diplomats today and to the
State Department.
Secretary OF State Colby was keenly
interested in the unofficial reports OF
a probable srmistice. as were the en-
voys who discussed the latest devel-
opments with him. But advices from
Secretary John c. white. in charge OF
the American legation at Warsaw, did
not definitely Indicate whether or not
the Poles have acted finally upon the
Bols4evikfs new proposal.
Today's early dispatches from War
saw told OF stout resistance the Poles
are making In the face OF slashing at
tscks the BOlsheviki are using in
pressing closer to Warsaw. State De-
prstment officials said occupation Of
Warsaw by the Soviet troops means
the setting up OF a government along
those lines In the Polish capital.
So far as officials were willing to

POLISH CAPITAL MAY

Reports reaching the State Depart

uation are conflicting. Secretary or
Colby stated.
No confirmation has been received
of the Polish movement from warsaw,
he stated, although the State Depart
ment has received unofficial advices
that the Polish capital Is to be
moved to Kracow.
No steps have been taken to re-
move the American legation from
Warsaw, Secretary Colby said. He
would not predict what future action
might be taken. declaring the situa-
tion is too confused at present and
anything may happen in warsaw.
In view OF some of the UNOFFICIAL
dispatches received here, 1t was be-
lieved possible the Poles are remov-
ing their capital from Warsaw. but

COTTON PROSPECTS
 MUCH IMPROVED
COOPERATIVE CROP REPORTING SERVICE INDICATES A PROS PECTlVE YIELD IN STATE
 OF e84,20o BALES,

Production and condition figures, forecasting production of 9S4. 200 bales, together with an increase in acreage near the Arkansas Oklahoma line, forecasting a production of S84.. 200 bales, together with an increase 1ns acreage near the Arkansas Oklaho- ma line, are contained in a report is sued by the Cooperative Crop Re. porting Service of the Bureau of Mines and Agriculture. The figures were compiled by Charles s. Bouton, agricultural statistician.. The report showed an improvement in the crop during the month of June.
 Slight damage by hail and blight in Polk, Ashley and Perry counties was reported. Boil weevil damages were experienced by Ouachita county. h. dications, according to estimates by correspondents, show that approxi- mately 80 per cent of the cotton has been chopped, the crop now averaging about IS days behind normal condi- tions.
 Three distinct sizes of plant in the counties bordering the Mississippi are evident, caused by the high water dur. ing May and June, making it impossi- ble for the water to run off the low lands in much of the delta section. According to the report, well drained lands show stand of from 12 to IS inches, about one third of the entire crop is from six to eight inches, while the remaining third is just up.
 The present attitude of farmers in Eastern Arkansas is greatly improved as compared with that of month ago, caused by the great advance during June. According to the report, the central district has the best outlook of any in the state due to more fav- orable conditions for cultivation, and a lessening of labor shortage as com pared with that in eastern sections. The report stated that general condi- tions in the southern part of the state are improved.
