The hottest day Of the year 20
far found lot of New Workers
absent from office duties. They
were cavorting in the suburbs.
It wasn't the heat that kept them
away either, II was a strike on
the Long Island Railroad, that
somewhat infamous local line that
by now is known even to out-of-
towners as the unpredictable
bonneville Trolley of this city.
The strike lasted just two days,
then was suddenly settled. The
commuters we're glad to be home.
Questioned closely, one of the
conductors admitted that much of
the cause of the strike was the
heat.

Cotton News

olloW1 W. hh~s
occurred over parts of the coun-
ty during the past week. Farm
ers in areas having plenty Of rain
the past 6 to 10 days would do
well to keep a close watch on
their cotton for boil weevil and
worm damage, particularly the
boil weevil.
Farmers in areas which have
not received rain in the past 4
or S weeks are not likely to be
bothered with boil weevil until
rains occur. However, this will
not hold true in every case so it
would pay to keep a close check
and poison if necessary.
A second generation Of boil
worms are occurring over the
county at this time. In checking
cotton fields Monday we found
lots of boil worm eggs which
means in a or 5 days there will
be a heavy boil worm infesta-
ton. When boil worm eggs and
boil worms are occurring IL to IS
pounds of Toxaphene per acre
or 10 to IL pounds of $40 per
acre should kill most Of your
boil worms, as dust. In spray
ing add DOT to your boil weevil
poison for controlling worms.
Red spider mites are occurring
in practically all fields in spots.
You may locate your spots that
are damaged with red spider
mites and just spot poison. 1t is
easy to recognize red spider dam
age. You will notice discolora-
ton of the top leaves from the
upper side. Turn the leaf over
and you may see hundreds of
little red spiders on the under
side OF the leaf. The spiders are
a little larger than red bug.
With a heavy rain or two red
spider damage should disappear.
1t is possible to control red spider
by busting with 20 pounds per
acre of 40 per cent sulphur.
Farm Safety Week
Next week is National Farm
Safety Week. During this week it
is a good time to check up on ac-
cident hazards on your farm and
home. Help make the farm a
safer place to live. Remember
when you get hurt your earning
power is also hurt. Practice safe
ty next week and live to be safe
the rest of the year.
Mid-Year Farm Outlook
Beef, lamb and veal produc-
ton are expected to be higher
than last year. Pork production
will be lower. Lower cattle prices
are expected when fall market
ing reaches a peak. Broilers have
regained the heavy drop of April
and May.
Milk demand and price will
continue strong. Production is
expected to drop. Production
costs are also expected to in
crease. Net profit to dairymen
should remain about the same.
Egg prices are expected to con-
tinue below 1851 prices.
Feed supplies are lower than
last year and are expected to
continue low until the new crop
comes in. Prices will tend to re-
main high.
Corn acreage for Mississippi is
estimated to be the lowest in 60
years. Averages planted in oats
and hay crops are about the same
as in 1851.
Much cotton acreage had to be
replanted. Weather conditions
during planting and early cult
walton injured crop prospects.
Cotton will be supported at 80
per cent of parity. The average
loan rate will not be less than
1901 cents pound on middling
u inch cotton.
Sweet potato acreage is smallest
in 50 years and Irish potato acre
ages the smallest since 1880.
Prices of both should continue

The debate over whether rain
makers can really make rain
goes on here, with law suits and
hot air clouding up the forecasts
on what will happen. Some say
the lin makers are valuable; OPP
posite comment may be summed
up in the statement of one scien-
fist who said that dropping a piece
Of d-y ice into a mile-square cloud
was about as effective in making
rain as splitting out the window"
So the stormy debates continue.
Temperatures are rising. The
outlook for rain making is UNI
settled, with showers of words
expected in the afternoon.

Gen. Dwight Eisenhower won the presidency Tuesday with the greatest popular vote ever given a candidate, and his landslide apparently had swept the Republicans into control of the new Congress.
