In Madison. La. Perish

The most important development
in the cotton insect situation the past
week. according to the State Plant
Board, was the finding of the cotton
eafworm in Madison Parish, Louis
lana, by the Bureau of Entomology
On July 6, a full month earlier than
it appeared last year. Clay Lyle. En-
somologist of the Board, stated that
t might be found in Mississippi any
day now, as Madison Parish lies just
across the river from vicksburg.
The boil weevil infestation remained
about the same. Plant Board inspec-
tors examining 90 farms in 81 coun-
bies, of which SO were infested. The
average percentage of p~unctured
squares was ~, as compared with Ii
per cent last week and Z per cent a
5ear ago. The few fields without
weevils were in the extreme north
ern part of the state.
The extremely hot weather of the
past week caused heavy mortality
among immature stages of the vice.

Boat Trip To Alaska
To Climax Tour OF
N. B. Train
Stute Resources To Be
Displayed In U. S.
Cunudu And Alaska

Climaxed by a BOAT trip to Alaska,
eleven states and four Canadian Pro-
vinces will be traversed by some 200
Mississippians aboard the fourteenth
annual good will tom of the Know
Mississippi Better" Train which will
leave Jackson July 16.
Preceding tours of the most fa-
NOUS train in the world have in
cluded every state in the Union with
a single exception, and considerable
portions of Mexico and Canada. The
1888 schedule is the most ambitious
of all, for besides the Canadian Pro-
yinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan,
Alberta and British Columbia, it in
cludes a four-day boat trip to Hy-
der, Alaska. The boat will leave
Prince Rupert, British Columbia, sal
northward II Hyder, thence south
ward to Vancouver, and in SO doing
will traverse almost the entirety of
the Canadian Pacific coast line.
A feature of the train this year rs
in the past will be the solid a dis
play of Mississippi products and re-
sources. Cooperating are the State
Department of Agriculture; Fish and
Game Commission; State Forestry
Commission Masonite Corporation;
Mississippi Division, Cottonseed Pro-
ducts Association; Cooperative Cot
ton Association; Extension Division
of Miss. State College; and State
Board of Health.
Thousands of people in more than
400 cities OF the three countries on
the North American continent have
viewedt he exhibit during previous
tours. This year an even larger than
ordinary attendance is anticipated,
for the exhibit is most comprehensive
and will be displayed in u cities Of
the United States and Canada.
That more than casual interest is
thus aroused in Mississippi oppor-
tunities is the opinion of j. G. Holton,
Commissioner of Agriculture. During
the past five years." he stated, sin
answer to letter requests, we have
mailed 81, 789 pieces of literature to
all portions of the country, and much
of this followed the tours of the
Know Mississippi Better Train"
Originated at a mass meeting of
citizens called by Governor Whit
field Is years ago, the Know Mis-
sissippi Better" Train has travelled
nearly 100000 miles. It is under the
management of former Governor Den-
mis- Murphree, general chairman; DR..
F. J. Underwood, state health officer;
w. F. Bond, state director of public
welfare; and j. C. Holton, commits
of agriculture.

He said there will be no meeting of

But you can say without any fear

AS for the ubiquitous prohibition
question, there have been for some
time rumblings of a storm, and this
week came the pronounciamento of
Gale K. Burgess, generalissimo of the
dry forces of North Carolina.
Mr.. Burgess blew a ringing
charge" on the prohibition bugle, and
with figurative up, drys, and at
EN-" went cheering over the top.
The effect was quite noticeable and
there are unmistakable signs that in
many parts of the State, particularly
in the arid west, the liquor question
will be paramounted.
In some spots the Democrats are
going to have to tread very softly to
keep out of trouble. Over in Catawba
county, for example, George F. Ivey,
one of the recognized dry leaders of
the section, has already served notice
that he and his cohorts will pay scant
attention to party lines if the Demo
cratic nominees are not satisfactory.
He is quoted by the Hickory Record
as including this ominous passage in
a statement on the subject:
whether the State or county is
Democrat or Republican makes hut
little difference to the average citizen,
but it makes great deal of difference
whether the county is wet or dry.
They (the voters) might be fooled into
supporting a wet candidate, but there
will be plenty of light on the question
for the next six or eight months, and
I am warning the leaders in ample
:ime.'
In dripping-wet, almost Republican,
less New Hanover this sort of talk
might draw little but a laugh, but in
the dry-voting west, where the parties
are not so unbalanced as to numbers,
there will be lots of thinking as we'll
as drinking between now and the pri-
maries; and a great deal of fence

WAR ENGINEERING

DR.. Dugald Jackson Says at State Col

Not Wish 1T So

College Station, Raleigh, JAM 90
The engineering profession stands on
the conviction that war is tragic, ex-
pensive and inefficient, declared DR..
Dugald c. Jackson at State College
this morning in the last of six engi-
neering lectures tracing the develop
ment of engineering and civilization.
Engineering processes and engi-
neering devices have been abused bv
being used in warfare, but not bv
choice of the engineering profession,
DR.. Jackson said. Nevertheless we
must be prepared in an organized way
to Withstand aggression"
DR.. Jackson said further that the
chief national needs are a moratorium
on loosely drawn legislation, emphasiz
ed efforts to make ethical principles a
guide both in the observation and the
administration of statute laws, and a
careful nurturing of the results of
scientific research and discovery.
The lecturer who is professor emeri-
tus of electrical engineering at Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology and
president of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences, spoke this morn
ing on the subject present Relations
