her benefits started. First, her hus-

also be IS and must file an applica-

Spuds A Failure AS Poultry Food

Potatoes may be nourishing food
for human beings, but turkeys and
chickens just don't respond. Ex-
tended experiments at the Univer-
sity of California College of Agricul-
ture have dashed hoped that surplus
potatoes could be used to fatten the
large western crop of gobblers and
cacklers. The trials were based on
tip from Europe, where potatoes
are sometimes fed to chickens.

Mayor Returns From
NINA Convention
Needs Of Miss. Cities
Discussed At Biloxi

Mississippians are becoming in.
creasingly aware of the problems
which municipalities are now fac
ing, according to Mayor r. E. Nc
Neer, who has just returned from
a convention of the Mississipp,
Municipal association in Biloxi
held June 24-25. According 10
Mayor McNeer, the State legis-
iature will almost certainly con-
slider legislation at its next ses-
sion, to relieve the growing fini-
cial plight Of the municipalities,
AT the Biloxi meeting, he said,
resolutions were adopted by the
Association asking further study
OF the municipal problem: a
long-range program in which the
state would vacate some fields of
taxation to municipalities and
stop-gap appropriations to help
maintain essential services until
this program can be worked out.
Mayor McNeer said the Biloxi
meeting brought out the feet that
virtually every municipality in
the state is struggling to provide
essential services to more people
than ever before. The out-moded
nd valorem tax, he declared, is
not yielding sufficient revenue to
KEEP these services intact.
Mayor McNeer commended a
tentative report by Chairman Da-
vid Gross of Laurel, chairman Of
the Legislatures recess study
group on municipal affairs. Re-
preventative Gross told the NUM-
cipal officers of recommendations
which his committee will make
to the Legislature when it meets
next year, and estimated that
municipalities will benefit APP
proximately $3,O0O,OO0 per bien-
mum. 1t will also propose revi-
sions to the states municipal laws
to make them more workable, the
mayor said.
Other highlights of the con-
vention included an inspiring
message by Carl M. Chatters, exc
cutive director of the American
municipal association from Chica-
go; a report by Mayor E. w. Hahn
ing of Vicksburg, chairman of the
Associations Executive commit

ress in Mississippi and addresses

Safe Driving Urged
For Holiday Weekend
By Local Officer
Lost Year In Stute
One Killed, Is Hurt;
Would Lessen Toll

Caution in driving is urged es-
pecially for the long Indepen-
dence day weekend ahead, by
State Highway Patrolman Billy
Jones. Pedestrians are also
urged to be careful in crossing
and walking along streets and
highways.
Last year in the state, the four
day holiday toll resulted in one
killed and IS injured; the year
before seven killed and 80 injur-
ed, and this year it is hoped that
accidents will be few.
Every available officer of the
State Highway patrol, including
driver license examiners, are be-
ing placed on duty, according to
Colonel T. B. Birdsong of Jack
son, commissioner of public SAT-
ETY.. Last years accidents, he
said, were caused by a number
of serious violations.
Cause of accidents, which the
local officers are warning against
especially for the holiday week
end, are: drinking drivers, speed
ing, failure to grant right-of-way,
following too closely, passing on
curve, on wrong side of road,
failure to signal, improper turn,
and turning from wrong lane,
disregarding stop sign, disregard
ing warning sign, hit and run
driving.

WeeyiI Infesfation
Continues High,
Plant Board Informs

State College, June 30 - 'aThe
boil weevil situation in Mississip-
pi could hardly be worse" the
State Plant Board has informed
after receiving reports from Board
inspectors and federal entomolo-
gists who examined 374 fields in
So counties during the past week,
finding weevils on 1913 or 80 per
cent OF all farms as compared to
only Al per cent on this date last
year. The average square infes-
tation on 27l fields of older cot
ton was 80 per cent compared
with Is per cent last week and Is
per cent at this time last year.
In 81 fields not yet squaring, Vice.
wills averaged 346 per acre.
The Delta and Pine Land COM
pany in Bolivar county also re-
ported 1913 out of 20l other fields
had an average of Is per cent
infestation with 81 fields ranging
from rs to 10 per cent punctured.
"A new crop of weevils is now
emerging in the older cotton and
poisoning should be started at
once on all cotton IS inches high
Or taller where IS per cent of the
squares are punctured," Clay
Llye, entomologist of the Board.
advised.
A mixture of per cent gamma
benzene hexachloride and S per
cent DOT is advised at the rate
OF 10 pounds per acre, followed
four to five day intervals until
three applications have been ap-
piled, or use twenty per cent toxa-
phene for three applications.
After three applications, DR..
Lyle advises watching the infes-
tation closely until it climbs back
to 20 or Is per cent, then give 3
more applications as at first.
"A thorough poisoning program
is the only hope for making a nor
NAL crop this year unless the wea-
ther changes and July and August
are hot and dry" it was stated.
