Life s Road.

Along life's road l bear my load,
which chafes my jaded shoulders;
with little rest travel west among
the stumps and boulders. Some
times ] shed some teardrops red,
by WEAKNESS I'm smitten ;. the trips
a bore, my legs are sore, where
country dogs have bitten. The
night is dark and / must park my
person i'll stable. and ere sleep
| sometimes weep as tiercely as
I'm able.~ The night is damp and
| must camp where rain and thunder
pound me, the night is cold and 1
must fold burlap sack around
me. And such is life; its storm
and strife give me the pea-green
willes; a thousand groan, a thou
sand moan where two kick
round like fllies. Now comes a
knave with handmade grave, he's
strongly recommending; he says,
Lie here, and all your fear and
grief will have an ending. This
grave says he, Il guarantee to
finish all your troubles; just climb
right in, and woe and sin and care
will fee like bubbles" Il want no
tomb | say, my gloom is merely
grandstand playing; Eli bear my
pack along the track, the sunshyle
on me playing. Men frown and
scowl. they hoot and howl, de-
nouncing life's dark journey, but
they all balk when statesmen talk
OF lots in churchyards ferny."

For Congress, 4th District
JEFF BUSBY
(of Chickasaw)
7. u .SISSoN
(of Montgomery

Recently it was our pleasure to
attend a convention made up of
men of every calling and from
every section of the state. From
four DAYS mixing and mingling
with this crowd we gained the
impression that this year will see
the largest acreage planted to
cotton that has been seen for a
number of years. Not only will
Mississippi plant largely to cot
ton, but the word comes that all
the Southern states will do the
same.
There are several reasons why
this is the case, the principal
of which is that cotton at the
present price is a better paying
crop than is grain. In other
words, if conditions were normal,
that is, what they were before
the war, it would pay to plant
cotton and buy grain. However,
conditions are so. changed that
there is hardly a single rule form
erly used which will apply today.
The world is now using about
five million bales less cotton than
formerly, and is very likely to be
very low this year.
For eight years, observations
have been made in the state of
Louisiana to determine the rela-
tive number Of 4 boil weevils that
go through 1.-THE winter. It has
been determined that there are
now more than five times as
many weevils now alive than has
been the case at this time Of
other years in the eight. Again
it b shown that there are almost
eighty times as many weevils
alive as was alive at a like time
in 1918.
This heavy infestation means
that this will likely be the worst
year the cotton farmer has ever
experienced not only from weevil
damage but from other insect
pests as well. Ann it also means
that the weevil will likely make
a larger gain in territory than in
any former year. Perhaps he
will infest the whole Of the cot
ton growing area.
As we view the situation, only
very early cotton can be counted
on to make anything in the in
tested territory, and that only in
case Of an early spring coupled
with a very dry June. If we are
correct ii our guess, it will be
worse than folly for the farmers
to plant cotton to the hurt Of
other crops The safe and sane
method has always been, grow
enough feed and food for home
use" This alone viii save the
farmer CHS year.
