Being so far away the home comings are rather far apart, but the more pleasant for the eager anticipations of being "at home again." I Sunday was a kind of reunion day : for all tae family, all save one mem| ber being present. They all came ; to share Sunday dinner together ana 1 to spend a few hours together with their families and the "grand children."' It was a rather busy day for the young pastor, who attended service at st Paul's in the morning:, addressed the College Y. >1. C. A. in the afternoon and addressed the congregation ; of the Church of the Redeemer at : night. : Our pec. le will be interested in having a talk with our representative in Mississippi. He lives in the capital city, in the midst of the bott weevil infested district and is very conversant with actual conditions prevailing there. He says that the weevil his ruined the prospect of raising cotton in the larger part of Mississippi and sections this way. That persons who had 10 acres of cotton this 1 ? m o/l a ai trh f n * } tJitr, I1U1 iiiaiij mauc v | ten bales are gathering about 15U pounds of seed cotton. That in one | county of which he has certain knowledge only one ginnery is operated this year. However, there are sections in this State in which, the weevil is not so destructive, in the rich Delta section where it seems that the cotton outgrows the weevil's ability to consume. This is also true in respect to sections of Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma. His advice to' our farmers is to begin to raise home produce and other crops, grain and liay, and also cattle and to encourage the cooperative creameries. Mississippi is grad ually turning to these, tnougn many are loath to give up cotton. This year many farmers are in a serious condition. beside the cotton failure tli? storms almost ruined their corn crops. He warns us that the boll weevil is quite near here now, and under the , present progress will be here in a ' few years and directs the attention oi cur people to the government advices | on this important subject. I They plan to return within a few i davs to the Mississippi home. ?? ?
