BilbO Explains South
Mississippi Trip

Ex-Gov. Bilbo and Houston H. Evans,
of Gulfport, arranged the legislative ex-
cursion into the piney woods and the
inspection of State Institutions in South
Mississippi. The following statement is
given out by Mr.. Bilbo:-
Approaching the fact that over so
PER cent of the members of the legisla-
ture had never had the pleasure of
seeing and inspecting South Mississip-
pi, with her many difficult problems
that both directly and indirectly affect
the whole state and for the further fact
that all the state institutions in South
the whole state institutions in South
Mississippi are new and real work, and
that the needs of these groups only
could be fully appreciated by first hand
information I have been exceedingly
anxious to have the legislature as a
body take just such a trip.
IT am sure that when the people of
the other sections of the state see mil
lions of acres of cutover lands in South
Mississippi presenting a picture of bar
rem waste, worthless, idle and non-pro-
dUctive, then will give their full CO.
operation to the great question of re-
foresting these acres, and converting
them into productive farms in the rails
ing of truck and developing the stock
raising industry which industry is des-
tined to be the greatest in this half
section of the state.
I'm the past, South Mississippi, with
her billions of wealth in pine timber
has been great source of revenue to
the entire state, but unless something
is done and done at once, she is destin-
ed to become the poorest section of
Mississippi.
ITO bring about this transition pre-
sents problems of government that
deeply concern every Mississippian and
will require the best brains and states
manship of the whole state. Personally
/ am preparing definite program of
constructive measures to be submitted
to the people of Mississippi. which will
go into these matters in more detail.
IT am glad the trip has been such
success, as both Mr.. Evans and my
self have worked hard to bring 1t a.
bout"

A. & M. COLLEGE ON
COTTON FARMING
Boil WeeviI Still Factor To Be
Reckoned With - Better
Grade Of Cotton.

A. & M. College, Miss, Feb. 15.--
Representatives of the Extension De-
partment are busy with their plans
for assisting different county agents
and farm bureaus ip shaping sup
their agricultural program for The
coming year. This program to- be
sure, will vary in the different coun-
ties and consists of we'll balanced
system of diversified farming. 1t is
obvious that cotton will continue to
be the main cash crop, and as such,
deserves serious consideration. 1t
has been shown by the Experiment
Stations as well as results obtained
by progressive farmers all over the
state that to make cotton under boil
weevil conditions requires early va
rleties of cotton, planted on narrow
rows and spaced thickly in the drill.
In this connection it is believed that
in most parts of the state three foot
rows with two or more stalks to the
hill, leaving hills hoes width, are
best.
The free use of fertilizer is very
important in making cotton under
boil weevil conditions and on most
soils of Mississippi it has proven
highly profitable to use zoe to 800
pounds of acid phosphate and 100 to
zoo pounds Of nitrate of soda to the
acre. According to the report just
made by the Market Department, 1-3
of the cotton grown and marketed in
the hills of Mississippi has staple
of less than 7-S inch-in length, and
is, therefore, not tenderable on flu
ture contracts. Buyers average dis
elimination in prices against certain
sections because of their reputation
of having high per cent cotton
shorter than 7-S of inch. The re-
suits have been tabulated by the Ex-
pertinent Stations of Mississippi (and
are ready for distribution) showing
that the better varieties of cotton av-
eraging around one inch in staple
are more profitable than the inferior
varieties. For example, experiments
at the College Station show that Half
and Half cotton had the highest per
cent of lint, yet it was next to the
lowets Of the 20 odd varieties exper-
imented with in money value per
acre. 4
1t has been stated that buyers pay
the same prices for inferior varie-
ties of cotton as they do for the bet
ter varieties. While this has been
true more or less in the past, still it
has been noted in many parts of the
state that buyers are already put
ting a premium on better varieties
OF cotton, and extremely short varie-
ties of cotton are being Disseminated
against. This discrimination is now
reaching small markets. Many of
the county, agents and farm bureaus
are busy making up car load orders
for good cotton seed and. while it is
believed that the acreage will not be
increased, at the same time better
varieties of cotton will be planted,
using fertilizers wisely and with
thick spacing, rapid cultivation and
with small patches brought together
into the largest possible planting
fields, there is no doubt the boil wee
will will be checkmated.

National Week For Wine To Be Held
 By French Agents

Paris. Feb. 17-A National Week for Wine is the title which has been given to a convention of representa- tives of wine-growers and sales agents that will sit in Paris under the presidency of Former Minister of Agriculture, J. H. Ricard, from March Is to 19.
 The closing of the United States mark cts has caused a tremendous injury to the wine trade in France. The fact that the Scandinavian states have also gone dry or on rat1ons Of into1oicants and South American vine yards are daily becoming larger and more productive thus restricting inn ports to the lowest ebb in years. has awakened the French wine-growers to their danger.
 Wine stocks have accumulated al though there has been no decrease in the price of wine to the trade of con sumner.
 One of the most important articles on the agenda of the convention Is the following: Investigate and re- port on the sale of wine in the Unit ed States; how public opinion in the United States is disposed toward the present dry regime; Is there any req son to suppose that some modtfica- lion will be adopted allowing wines to enter What are the frauds in ex- istence by which the present law is be- ing evaded."
 Another article reads: "Establish- ing closer relations between American wine buyers and French wine selling agents in order to ensure the au- .tfaenticity of French wine and avoid faIsfflcation CoI1oborate in attempt revert to former international agree me nts and internal legislation in the United States"
