Boil Weevil
Infestation In
State Worse

With weevils increasing and
squares becoming scarce in many
sections of Mississippi the State
Plant Board reports high infesta-
tons in nearly all parts of the
state except the north Delta and
counties along the Tennessee bor-
der. No Rankin county farms were
examined this week.
Examinations during the past
week by Plant Board inspectors
and Federal entomologits on 14e
farms in 26 counties showed 1873 in
tested with an average of 40 Eer
cent punctured squares on the in
tested farms and 46 per cent on all
farms, which compare with 33 and
% per cent respectively a week
ago.
Cotton is opening in many fields
in the southern half of the state
and is maturing rapidly in other
sections. Weevils are reported
numerous in squares and blooms
and general migration is apparent
ly occurring.
Leafworms are present in Ar
kansas and Louisiana and general
ly distributed in Texas, but none
has yet been found in Mississippi
although they are likely to be re-
ported at any time according to
Clay Lyle, entomeiogist Of the
Board.

WANT TO BUY A JEEP?
PRICE SET AT "ONLY"
900, FOB, TOLEDO

That drivin', four wheeled de-
mon, as now adapted for civilian
use, has been provided with a dol
lar-and-cent ceiling price of $1,000
f. o. b.. Toledo, Ohio; it was an
nounced by Major w. E. Holcomb,
OPA District Director in jackson.
This figure will be plus taxes
and the customary trade additions
for transportation, handling and
optional equipment, he added.
THE price is somewhat higher
than the pre-war selling price of
light passenger cars, because the
civilian jeep is not primarily a
passenger vehicle but falls into the
utility truck classification,
With all listed accessories, which
can be had individually as on a
passenger car, the civilian jeep will
sell for a few cents under $3.50,
plus federal excise taxes.
Improvements over the military
jeep, OPA said, include the addi-
ton of drop back and the addi-
ton of a heavier frame plus seal
ed-beam headlights.

Farm Income In
State More Than
Double That of SO

With a cash income of 381 mil
lion dollars in 1914, Mississippi
farmers have received an increase
of 212 million dollars or 125 per
cent over the cash income receiv-
ed during 1889, the year war broke
out in Europe.
Cash income in 1914 was 10 per
cent higher than in 1943, and 28
per cent higher than in 1912. Thus,
according to DR.. d. W. Parvin, as
sociate agricultural economist for
the Mississippi Experiment Station,
the wartime trend toward higher
farm income continued right up to
VI Day. Reports of the USDA
Bureau of Agricultural Economies
are the basis of this summary.
The greater part of this increase,
states DR.. Parvin, is attributed to
cotton. The increase in income
from cotton and cotton seed be-
tween 1889 and 1914 amounted to
1862. million dollars, slightly more
than three-fourth Of the total in
crease in income of 212 million
dollars.
During the same period cash in
come from other crops increased
Is million dollars cash income from
cattle and calves increased 9 mil
lion dollars, cash income from
hogs increased million dollars,
cash income from dairy products
increased II million dollars, and
chash income from chickens and
eggs increased II million dollars.
In addition, cash income from
cotton and cotton seed has increas-
ed relatively more than the other
| commodities, with one exception.
Between 1889 and 1914, cash income
from chickens and eggs increased
326 per cent, cotton and cotton seed
! 1872 per cent: other crops, 1913 per
cent; hogs, SO per cent; and cattle
and calves SO per cent. Govern
ment payments decreased Is mil
lion dollars or SO per cent during
this period.
Although cash farm income was
10 per cent higher than in 1913, in
come from some of the products
suffered a decline. Cash income
from hogs, chickens and eggs, cat
and calves decreased 10, 4 and
per cent respectively; whereas cash
income from cotton, other crops,
dairy products increased II, 10 and
Is per cent respectively. Govern
ment payments were about SO per
cent higher in 1914 than in 1913.
