The cotton insect situation chang
J ed little during the past week ex-
cept that more fields became infest-
ed by weevils, reports the State
Plant Board. Inspectors of the
Board and federal entomologists
! examined All fields in AZ counties,
| finding weevils on 255, or SIS per
cent of the farms as compared to
a. percent a week ago. The aver
! age i~nfestation on the infested farms
was Is, the same as a week ago,
which compares with rs percent on
this date last year.
Heavy infestations OF weevils were
found in the Delta counties of Is
saquena, Warren and Yazoo, and
in some counties in the central part
of the state including Attala, Car
roll, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Holmes,
and Winston. In general the infes-
tation in the southern half of the
| state is light but is expected to in
crease rapidly wherever good rains
occur, according to DR.. Clay Lyle,
entomologist of the Board.
Grasshoppers attracted more at
tention than the boil weevil in south
Mississippi the past week, com
plants being received from Jeffer-
son Davis, Simpson, Covington, For
rest and Marion counties. In most
cases the hoppers are moving out
of pastures or meadows that have
failed on account of drouth and DR..
Lyle is urging all farmers through
out the southern counties to exa-
mine their properties and where
necessary poison the hoppers before
they reach cultivated fields. The
cheapest effective control is a broad
cast application of a poisoned bait
containing wheat bran or shorts,
sawdust, and a poison such as white
arsenic, sodium arsenate, sodium
fluosilicate or paris green. Quickly
effective also, says DR.. Lyle, are
chlorinated camphene (Toxaphene),
chlordane, and benzene hexachlo-
ride dusts or sprays. but these are

Directions for poisoning grasshop-
pers and assistance in fighting out
breaks may be secured from the
State Plant Board at State College,

OF twenty-one farms examined In
Holmes County eleven farms were
found to be infested and the per
cent of infestations were as follows:

Not Pooling The Public
(By Jack FOster)

(By Jack FOSter) PRESIDENT TRUMAN'S statement announcing his reluctant signing of the Republican anti-inflaton bill a clever but obvious bid for votes:
 is true he says that the Republican measure en- acting only three of the 10 points he recommended repre- sents only feeble steps toward control of inflaton And 1t is true that since his request for the 10pOnt gram the prices of butter, beef pork, shoes gasoline etc., have continued to rise.
 But it is also true that the Truman 10pont program itself was little and late, and if Congress had ap proved all of it, prices and living costs would have risen and probably just much.
 The most important thing to keep in mind in the rent controversy over who killed the Cock Robin of lower living costs is that 1948 is election year. Until November next the Democrats will blame the Repub- cans and vice The public whose votes coured is not so dumb to overlook that both are to blame
 The harvest of the present soaring prices is from seeds soWn long since-exravagant government expendi- lures when e70nOr1v was called for. tha faacy that farmers could get more for what they raised without consumers paying more for what they ate and wore the phony argument that higher wages could be paid for and wage-earners, losing in the end through higher prices the cheap-money and pump-priming measures inaugurated to fight depression but never reversed when conditions changed.
 The Democrats are fault in that these were poli- ces of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations
 The Republicans share the blame in that when they finally got voting control of Congress- they proved to be not strong enough to withstand the groups and change the trend It is not likely in this election year that either party will do what is necessary to check the rise in prices But there good to hope and believe that the great productivity of the American tenn and the hard work and sense of the Amer ican people, who pay the bills will yet restore order and balance.
