difficult and more dangerous"
Italy Is Convinced.
Italy is firmly convinced of the
rightfulness of her position, he said.

demands for reparation, thus ending
the present situation"
Mussolini said lie had been painfully
distressed by the unjust criticism di-
rected against Italy by some American
newspapers.
American public opinion" he con-
tinued, cannot fail to be struck by
the gravity of the crime committed by
Greece in the massacre of the Italian
delegation"
Mussolini said he perfectly under
stood that political feelings on such
occasions were 80 contradictory and
deceiving that even such serene pub
lie opinion as Americas, bound as it
is by a real and deep sympathy toward
Italy. may be disturbed"
However" he said, ''as / know the
spirit of fairness in the American peo-
pie | am certain that the negligible

The foregoing paragraphs have
dealt largely with the necessity Of an
early crop and have emphasized the
importance Of expediting the crop by
early preparation OF the seed bed,
early planting and frequent cultiva-
ton. These operations, however, can
onlv be successfully conducted under
conditions of good drainage. It is
practically impossible to raise a prof
table crop of cotton on poorly drain
"a land. On the other hand, the val
ne OF good drainage is everywhere
apparent. 1t makes possible the. ear
lier planting of cotton, early germina-
ton. and rapid frequent cultivation.
Furthermore, the ground dries out
more rapidly after rain, which in
creases the control of the weevil by
sunshine.
