Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president of
the State College of Agriculture, yes
terday iasued a statement to the
farmers of the cotton belt, in which
lie described the need for u cour
ageous fight on the boll weevil and
suggested proper methods farmers
should use In making the light.
While there are other Insects that
pnneture squares than the boll wee
vil, and the condition now ntuy nut
be as hopeless for a profitable cotton
crop as some think, the conditions da
warrant extraordinary pains, he said.
Calcium arsenate dusting Is recoin
mended by Dr. Soule as perhaps the
most effective weapon to use against
the weevil, but he warns farmer:
ugainst using the poison Improperly
nnd against trying to secure results
with low-grade and impure poison.
Soule's statement follows In
full:
The boll weevil Is In our midst
In many places he Is doing serious
damage. Tills is affecting our farm
ers In various ways. Some are pea
slntlstlc, others Indifferent. Some are
making a vigorous fight against his
depredations and others are sort of
drifting with the tide. In meeting
the onslaughts of this pest, action
must be our watchword. In no other
case Is eternal vigilance more likely
to be rewarded with success. We
need now to be actuated by the same
spirit with which those Georgia boys
enlisted In the marines and In the
regular army met and hurled back
tile victorious advance of the Ger
mans at Chateau Thierry. It is a
fight to the death with a moxt for
mldable and -persistent foe: but the
rewards are certain and will well re
pay the effort evpended. Let us be
up and doing, therefore, for wo have
battle to light and a victory to
win. In making this fight, we should
use every agency at our command.
Therefore, let us be diligent In pick
ing up and destroying squares, l-lvery
pair of weevils eliminated means the
destruction of a host of descendants.
Other Square-Puncturere.
In this connection, It Is well to re
member that squares may be punc
tured by other Insects than the boll
weevil, such as the cotton-squat o
borer and other Incidental cutter-
plllars and Insects. Even under nor
mal conditions a considerable per
centage %)f the squares set on by the
cotton plant shed off. In Georgia
this may even reach above 25 per

which lie asserted that negroes were
lynched by white men In Georgia tor
ntlng in the general elections. Tbe
statement has aroused a deep resent-

legislature.
Tho greater pari of tbe bouse ses
slon was taken u* p dxy In the pas
sage of local bills and a few general
measures which had attracted but
little deliberation anil practically no
debate. One of the measures passed
was a bill creating an additional
Judgeship for the Macon superior
