Plant early to avoid boll weevil and hoppers. fall timing advised by October 15.

Prince Fumimaro Konoye, former Japanese premier, says he attempted in summer 1941 to arrange a Roosevelt meeting to avert war, but militarist opposition and government distrust hindered any deal. He claims Tojo seized control, Pearl Harbor was planned in secrecy, and US negotiations faltered as China policy stalled withdrawal.
