2 F SOIL WORMS MENACE ! COTTON, WMSHAM SAYS Rain Has Done Much Toward Aiding Inroads of This Pest •2 * According to Dr. E Lee Wortham. * state entomologist, who has just made > a tour of the state, conducting a spe cial investigation In regard to the cot !;*■ ton crop, Georgia is being visited by 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 ditlons more ideal for the cotton boll 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- CfeM- Any injury of the cotton crop, at _ .. this time, will be felt, not only by grow ers, but by the cotton oil mills who Z. are. this month, starting up their win ter crush. The demand for cotton seed T;* products is increasing rapidly earn year, for the absolute healthfuineas and pur ity of cotton seed oil, in its refined ; State, has been proven beyond any ques tion, and is rapidly supplanting olive / ell and animal fats, for salad dressings and cooking purposes. The demand for * . the cotton seed meal. a« a cattle feed has spread throughout the country and abroad, and as a result there is a grow ing interest in the cattle-raising indus try throughout the soutiv The attack •f the boll worm will be watched with B ,7. . interest. ; GERMANY AND FRANCE SEE MOROCCAN PEACE BERLIN, Aug. s.—The end of the Morrocan trouble between Germany and K'-. • France ts in eight. Jules Cambon. the | , French ambassador at Berlin, and Major fFU von Kinderlen-Waechter, the German foreign secretary, today found a com- Bl mon ground of settlement on general lines, though details remain to be work ed out. Some time will be consumed in the dis- E '<’ cuasion of the detail* The nature of the settlement could not be learned, except c that it involved a considerable trading -of colonial possessions and so transfers the center of interest from the foreign ' to the colonial office. I * It is understood Russia played the part FT •- * of a mutual friend, and interposed at ■ ' London and Paris to take the rough edges off the English attitude, the chal lenging tone of which for a time was more threatening to peace than the ac- 6 tual subject of the negotiations.

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 veteran. HONDURAN CONSUL DENIES REVOLT PLOT MOBILE, Ala., Aug. 5.—R.

"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 ever.”’ WILKES TAXES SHOW INCREASE OF $250,000 WASHINGTON, Ga., Aug. s—From pres ent indications, Wilkes county will show a tax increase of approximately a quarter of a million dollar* The city tax digest, which has Just been completed, shows an Increase of $75,000 over that of last year.

The plants are taken up with a spading fork, the roots trimmed off square and all the faulty stalks should be removed from the outside of the bunch. Place the plants four In a row and pack a little damp soil around the roots. After the plants have been placed in the trench, place a 13-inch board on BLEACHING BY DRAIN TILES. each side of the plants and draw the tops slightly together. A board placed on top will make a covering which will protect the plants until cold weather, when, If in a cold climate, litter and egrth must be thrown over the trench to prevent them from freezing. The slight est touch with frost will ruin them. If celery is to be marketed Ute in the win ter it should be placed in a hotbed or in earth in the cellar, or In a storage house. The big celery growers follow the same method except that after the plants are placed in the trench with the boards on either side, earth is filled in on each side of the boards which are gradually withdrawn until the trench is nearly filled, leaving the tope above the surface. Then a little straw is placed over the tope and held down by an occasional shovelful of earth and this Is added to as the weather becomes colder. Borne growers blanch their celery by placing over the plants a section of drain tile and covering up the top with a coarse cloth or litter. Blanching Is reajly a very Important STORAGE TRENCH FOR CELERY. 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. BIG LAND SUIT IS NOW PRACTICALLY AT END ABHEVILLE, N.

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.
