L-e. the most destructive horde of cotton
J boll worms this state has ever known.
These cotton boll worms are found in
practically every county in the state
and the damage done to the growing
cotton is almost incalculable. He states
that the continued rains throughout
Georgia have done much to make con

Z’. worm and hence their ravaging attacks
i ** * ■ have been even greater than at any
time past.
The only cure for this ill. it is stat
ed. is in sprinkling the Infected cotton
•*•£ etalks and bolls with arsenate of lead
which puts an end to the worm.
During this trip, too. Dr. Worsham
took occasion to make a close study of
the resistent varieties of cotton see J
sent out by his department Which had
been developed with a view to warding
off the attacks of the black root dis
. ease. He expresses himself as being
immensely pleased with the resistance
developed by these plants, and he states
this work has been a splendid sue-

fFU von Kinderlen-Waechter, the German

Some time will be consumed in the dis-

THE FRUIT-CANNING SEASON
Fruit and Vegetables May Be Cheaply and Easily “Put Up”
at Home, and Much Utilized That Might Otherwise Be
Wasted
Celery is a good market crop, but
there are many other crops which pay
better. In the famous Kalamazoo dis
trict in Michigan, where the crop Is
grown exclusively on hundreds of acres
by experts, it is stated that the aver
age profit after rental of land, grow
ing and marketing expenses are all
paid does not exceed SIOO per acre. Oc
casionally we hear of phenomenal
crops for a single year, but as a rule
celery Is onjy moderately profitable.
It is a fine crop for every farmer to
grow because tt is on* of the most deli
cious vegetables produced. It is not
difficult to grow celery. It requires
exceedingly rich land, some commercial
fertiliser and great care in cultivation
and Bleaching.
In the Kalamazoo district, where
V] V /
very fine celery is grown, the soli
is a very black, rich spongy sort of
loam, but good celery Is grown on
sandy land and on clay loam.
The ground must, however, be put
into thorough cultivation and very
heavily manured, in fact, it ought to
be well fertilized for at least two
years before being planted to celery.
The land must be well drained, be
cause damp, soggy soil will not pro
duce sound, firm celery. This crop
should usually follow some early crop
like peas. The seed should be sown
in rows about four foet apart. After
the ground hae been thoroughly pre
pared and manured it should be left
long enough for the weeds to get a
start, when it should be thoroughly
manured and then planted.
The rows should be about two inches
wide and the seed should be scat
tered over the entire width, then the
seed should b finned into the soil
by passing a roller over it, after which
the seed should be covered very light
ly with a raka
To prepare the ground for celery,
rows should be made about four feet
apart, and a light application of well
rotted stable manure and nitrate of
potash placed tn the furrows.
The plants taken from the seed-bed
should be set about eight inches
apart in the row and great care
should be observed in placing the
roots in their natural position without
crushing the doubling them up. The
soil then must be drawn grrhly about
the plants and all weede must be
kept down."*-Under good conditions
celery plants grow very rapidly. Boon
after the plants are well started,
they should be given a light applica
tion of nitrate of soda and another
about two weeks later; this is all they
will need untg they have reached the
proper growth"
Celery ie bleached in several ways,
but the best practice for the farm is
to place the plants tn a trench about

HONDURAN CONSUL
DENIES REVOLT PLOT
MOBILE, Ala., Aug. 5.—R. Camlllo
Dia*, consul general from Honduras
to tha United States, who arrived here
today from Tegucigalpa en route to
Washington, stated when shown the
Associated Press dispatch stating that
the Honduran government was making
active preparations to thwart any revo
lutionary movement this fall, that there
was not the slightest probability of In
surrection under political conditions.
He said that it was his belief that
the gunboat Hornet, now at New Or
leans, would be awarded to Honduras
and that if eo it would be added to the
Honduran navy. "Honduras,” he said,
‘‘la having peace, and Is likely to have
it for a long time. All followers of
Bonilla have been effectively silenced
and there is no indication of trouble in
the future.
"■While the three vessels owned by
our government cannot bo called a navy,
they will serve to make revolutions, or
rather revolts, more Impracticable than

The big celery growers follow the same

part of producing good celery; because,
unless the plants are white, firm, and
tender, they are not only unpalatable
for the farmer’s family, but are, of
course, unsalable. Excluding the light
induces a solid growth in the heart of
the plant and this growth is very rapid.
It also turns a plant from green to pure
white. Persons contemplating growing
celery for the market should not attempt
to do so until they have visited one of
the large commercial celery gardens and
learned from observation exactly how the
work of seeding, transplanting, cultivat
ing and marketing is done. But the
farmer who Simply desires to grow
enough celery for his family use, may if
be follows instructions, grow good crops,
always provided that his sol! is very
rich and well drained.
The application of manure should be
made every season, no matter how rich
the soil is, because celery will not grow
well on Impoverished soil.

DEFENSE OF IN I WINE
SPOKEN 01 SEN. BOURNE
“Our Old Ideas of Government
Not Representative” Says
He on Arizona Bill
WASHINGTON, Aug. s.—Under the po
litical system which has been built up
in this country, government is not truly
representative and will not be until the
people have me power to make it so,
said Senator Bourne, of Oregon, who
spoke today in favor of the initiative,
referendum and recall provisions of the
Arizona constitution.
Senator Bourne replied to the recent at
tack by Senator Sutherland, of Utah, on
the advocates of initiative, referendum
and recall.
"Sneers are not argument; ridicule is
not logic," declared Senator Bourne, In
answer to the terms which Senator Suth
erland had applied to those who favor
advanced methods of popular govern
ment.
"I believe in truly representative gov
ernment, 1 ' said the senator. ‘The initia
tive and referendum supersede no state
legislature. They merely provide the peo
ple a means of securing laws which leg
islatures refuse to enact and of defeat
ing undesired laws which legislatures do
enact. The technical work of drafting
a measure should be. performed by men
of skill in that particular, but the peo
ple as a whole are the best judges of
the principles involved and can be trust
ed to pass upon the merits. The people of
Arizona would better lose statehood than
yield their right to control their state
government.’’
As to the recall of Judges, Senator
Bourne said he saw no reason why a man
who occupied a judicial position should be
governed by laws and standards of public
service different from those which ap
ply to legislative or executive offices. A
Judge who will listen to popular clamor
will also yield to the wishes and interests
of a political boss.
NEW YORKER ASKS FOR
ANTI-VIVISECTION MEET
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 5.-Lively scenes

Anti-Vivisection congress today. Miss
Konow, who secured the suppression in
Finland of the Jewish method of slaugh

resolution in favor of Its universal pro
hibition. The Jewish delegates pro
tested so vigorously that the president
suspended the sitting. A a later session
a resolution was adopted, with the sup
port of Jewish delegates, providing that
the slaughtering of animals must be
painless.
The place for the next convention will
be decided on later. Mrs. David Be
laise, president of the New York Anti-
Vivisection society, exteded an invita
tion to meet in New York. Her husband,
she said, offered, if the Invitation was
accepted, to guarantee to defray the
traveling expenses of the European dele
gate. Mrs. Pierre Waring, In behalf of
anti-vivisection societies of Boston, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore, asked that the
convention be held in one of these cities,
intimating that the expenses of the
European delegates would be paid.

WOULD LEGISLATE TO
GET WORD ALPHABET'
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—A congress
of nations to adopt “a world alphabet”
is asked for in a bill introduced by
Representative Jackson, of Kansas. Mr.
Jackson wants the president to invite
all nations to send delegates to Wash
ington in 1912, "to consider the possi-|
bility, desirability and feasibility or|
recording all elementary sounds of the
human voice which may be used in hu
man speech or expression of ideas, and
of formulating a graphic sound notation
or alphabet for all such sounds, which
alphabet shall be adapted to the use
of every language, dialect and human
vocal expression and shall be suitable
for writing, printing, ehgravlng and
other forms of presentation.”
In preparing this "universal scientific
alphabet” Representative Jackson par
ticularly asks that the views of all
“linquists, phoneticians, philologists,
lexicographers, orthoepists, orthography
ers, translators, transllterators, teachers
of language, artists, oculists, physicians,
neuologists, missionaries, printers,
typists, linotypists, stenographers,
phonographers and type founders ’ be
taken into consideration.
LUMBER TRADE FAVORS
BIG PUBLICITY FUND
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4.-A national
advertising bureau for newspaper and
magazine exploitation of the five sepa
rate branches of the lumber manufac
turing Industry is recommended by the
report on advertising of the National
Lumber Manufacturers’ association made
public yesterday through A. T. Gerrans,
of Houma, La., chairman of the com
mittee. The report is in compliance with
a resolution adopted at the recent na
tional convention in Chicago, and will be
referred to the various lumber organi
zations throughout the country.
The Southern Cypress Manufacturing
association has already voted 1 per cent
per 1,000 feet of lumber toward the ad
vertising fund.
The proposed advertising plan is edu
cational in nature and to "properly pro
tect the lumber trade" from recent ar
ticles which referred to the "lumber
trust."
MENINGITIS CAUSE OF
NAVY OFFICER’S SUICIDE
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—The borfy of
Lieut. Charles Brillhart, U. S. N., who
was found in a room at the Hotel Astor
with a bullet hole in his head and a
revolver clutched in his hand, is at the
New York navy yard today, awaiting
shipment to York, Pa.
An autopsy showed that Lieutenant
Brflhart was suffering from meningitis,
which physicians say probably created a
morbid state of mind and caused him
to kill himself.
Lieutenant Brillhart came to the hotel
last Monday without baggage and until
yesterday nothing had been seen of him.
When the door of his room was forced
the lieutenant’s body was found in a
chair,

IN A TINY 20-FOOT BOAT

prominent California polo players. Clril
Tobin, George Parsons and Pearce Selby,
will start today on a voyage to Santa
Cruz In a 20-foot boat, the smallest craft,

ocean voyage from this port. The nauti
cal experience of all three is confined to
what they have learned on the hurricane
deck of a broncho.
"Have you any idea what course you
will take to get to Santa Cruz?” asked a
friend yesterday.
"Sure,” replied Tobin. “You tail out to
the Cliff house and turn to the left.”
