OF tourists. Here the country has
infinite possibilities. It has
mountains, four isolated and per-

tend as high as 23,081 feet. The
Southern part of the Andes is a

OF the Andes are great broad
plains heavily wooded called the
Gran Chaco in the north and
stretches of treeless pampas, for
wheat and cattle raising, down
to the plains of Patagonia on the
south where it is extremely cold
The northern tip of the country is
within the tropics and very hot -
IN the center of the country it is
temperate. Thus Argentina offers
TO the tourists a variety of climate
and scenery possibly unequalled
anywhere else in one country. The
Ideal time for tourists is in the
winter months of June, July, and
August. The heat is said to be-
come oppressive in Buenos Aires
during January, February, and
March.
Anything you want to see or

WeeviI ilfestation
Reported In Holmes

Infestation of boil weevils in
Holmes has been reported by
scouting authorities from State
college. The highest infestation
lin the state was recorded as $500
per acre on a farm in Chickasaw
county. In Holmes, eight hill
farms ranged from $50 to 1850
weevils per acre, while six farms
in the Delta part of the county
had no weevils.
Although general poisoning is
not advised until cotton is fruit
ing heavily, Clay Lyle, entomolo-
gist of the Board, informs that
early poisoning of some of the
very heavily infested fields may
be profitable this year if the
plants begin fruiting before the
large population of overwintered
weevils dies off.
The infesfation is especially
heavy in the north central and
northeastern part of the state
with the exception of the extreme
northeastern counties of Alcorn
and Tishomingo.
Ninty-nine fields examined in
Bolivar county on the Delta and
Pine Land Company plantation
showed SO infested with an aver
age of 305 weevils per acre.
The heavy boil weevil infesta-
ton, generally. with the late cot
ton and too much rain in some
sections, made crop prospects
gloomy last week, the report said.
