J. A. Alderson, cattleman from

celling the legislature in extraordinary i
session to amend the law, is the pre-
vailing opinion here.
The coton planting season in the
areas alleged - id is at hand
and a delay in creating zones in which
cotton cannot ‘be grown would make
necessary the destroying of cotton
now being planted. For this reason,
the general opinion is that If the
governor calls a special session of
the legislature to consider the boll
worm problem, he will do so as soon
as possible.---------------------------------
