Dustipg Cotton Seed
For Angular Leaf Spot
by FL. Thames Negro
COUNTY AGENT

By F. l. Thames Negro County Agent
On account of occasional epidemics
of angular leaf spot in Mississippi, many
farmers throughout the State are seek
ing information on practices which may
be used to make SEED safe for planting
this year.
The use of acids are the best practices
to use in delinting seed, either in COM
mercial acid delinting machine or by
the sulphuric acid hand method. Many
are interested in knowing if there are
methods by which one may use a pois-
onous dust on the undelinted seed
There are various poisonous dusts whose
uss on cotton seed may be expected to
control angular leaf spot to some e7z-
tent but at the present it is impossible
to recommend them as equally efficient
with the delintng procedure.
In tests conducted at the Mississippi
experiment station, the organic mer-
curry dust Ceresan, has been most con-
sistant among those tested in the pro
duction of good stands of cotton and

1t should be expressive of thought

No 'ThunkIess Job

His rank having made him eligible
for a more important assignment, it
is natural that Senator Overton is
giving up the Craftsmanship of the
subcommittee in charge of District
appropriations. In discussing the
change, however, Senator Overton
refrains from the customary observa-
tions regarding the "thankless job"
of heading this committee and the
hard work, without political recon-
pense, which it involved. On the
other hand, he says that he enjoyed
the assignment and found it any,
thing but thankless. And he plans
to continue his membership on the
subcommittee as well as the District
Legislative Committee.
This attitude is characteristic of
Senator Overton's approach, from
the very beginning, to his RESPONSE
bilities in connection with the Dis
trict. He regarded his assignment
as an opportunity to work for the
betterment and welfare of the Amer
lean Capital and the community of
voteless Americans whose govern
ment, under the Constitution, is
placed exclusively with Congress. AS
chairman of the appropriations sub
committee and as diligent member
of the Senate District Committee, he
studied the background of the unique
problems in connection with District
affairs and made conscientious, in
telligent efforts to solve them. And
through his efforts he has won the
respect and affection of the people
who live here.
The American Capital is chronic
sufferer from neglect; not the
neglect, incidentally, so often ex-
pressed in terms of dollars withheld
from appropriation bills, or made
ouacy in governmental facilities.
These are the superficial results,
though damaging enough in them
selves, Of more harmful neglect
which Is represented in the lack Of
interest and disinclination to assume
responsibility by those charged with
supervision of local government. 1t
is the neglect which springs from a
failure to regard service on District
committees as an opportunity and to
look on it, as the task sometimes has
been called, as pain in the neck"
Fortunately for the District, SEN
ator Overton's conception of his re-
sponsibilities to the District has been
the rule, rather than the exception,
in the Senate. And in this respect 1t
Is gratifying to welcome, as Senator
Overton's successor, Senator OMa-
honey of wyoming. He has been a
resident Of Washington longer than
he has been a member of the Senate.
Washingtonians know him already
and look forward to new and pleas
ant relationship.

Reqrettuble Action

A majority of the House has taken
upon itself a grave responsibility in
voting, 154 to 146, against legislation
to permit the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation to listen in on telephone
conversations of suspected spies and
saboteurs. A careful reading of the
Congressional Record indicates that
opposition to the measure was based
largely on fears that tapping
in general might result from adop-
tion Of the Hobbs bill, although that
bill, in the form finally reported to
the House by the Judiciary Commit
tee, surrounded overlapping with
stringent and effective safeguards
against abuse. The cry against in
vading privacy of the home was
raised by several opponents of the
proposal-Who seemed to ignore en-
tirely the fact that the only privacy
which the bill sought to invade was
that of foreign espionage agents,
saboteurs and kidnapers.
Besides limiting wire-tapping to
the aforementioned specific crimes,
the Hobbs bill provided that G-men
must secure from the Attorney Gen.
eral a certificate of authority for
use of listening devices in any par
ticular case, with a recital of facts
justifying resort to overlapping in
that case. Moreover, as a precaution
against abuse of information OBJ
tanned, there was provision making
it criminal offense to use any such
data except in the investigation and
prosecution of the types of GRIM
inals specified.
House opponents of wire-tapping
killed the measure in the face of re-
quests for its passage from President
Roosevelt, the War and Navy De-
partments, Attorney General Robert
H. Jackson, F. B. I. Director j. Edgar
Hoover and Chairman Summers of
the Judiciary Committee, all of whom
agreed that the proposed legislation
was essential to national security. As
Mr.. Jackson ably pointed out in let
ter to the House Committee, existing
laws do not prevent criminals from
tapping wires at will. Court inter-
pretations Of the Federal Commune
cations Act. he said, merely forbid
the divulgence of information in
court. The result, then, is that spies
are protected in the use of wires in
plotting against the Government.
That the House should have put it
self on record, in effect, as sanction
ing continuance OF this dangerous
!. situation is most regrettable.
