COTTON VARIETIES AND DOLL WEEVIL EARLY MATURITY IMPORTANT—* SOME aEAPiNG YIELDS ANDREW M SOULE, Prid*nt Geer g<> Sut* Cciltgt Of Agriculture unusual interest is evidenced in cot ton planting seed this year dud to the tact that a considerable part of Geor gia and other of the Gulf stales have fceen invaded by the weevil. It was long ago demonstrated that early ma turing varieties of cotton are essential to combat this pest successfully. Ga thle account the College of Agriculture fcas conducted tests of the leading va rieties cf cotton in its demonstratton herd at Athens and at other points throughout the state for several years past A summary of the results ob tained during the crop year 1916, at prepared by Prof L £ hast, of the agronomy division, is presented We believe that every one interested in eotton produttion will study these re sults with great interest, as they re veal facts of importance to planters generally The results of variety teste with cotton at Athens In 3916 are as fol lows : _ _ lotfl Vl*ld Total Tiald bM.Mki.it VAftlilT Saed Oottoa Lint Par jpousu.

Contributing to the early maturity ot a plant, phosphorous ia ot chief importance Therefore, to promote early fruition of the cotton, an appllca lion of phosphoric acid should be made, generally speaking, about 4Op pounds to the acre. If other forms are used the appli cation should be made iu time and condition should be Buch as to render the phosphorous available at the prop er time. a well prepared seed bed means Vaiftk germlnaUsc and fmni. f- - - THE HIGH COST iOT RAILROADING That ie the Cost to the Rail road Itself. Under the above caption, Finan cial America, published in New York ha°. the following to say edii torially: “It you should write a letter to any American railroad official, his company would have to haul a ton of freight for more than two and one half miles to get enough money to buy a postage stamp to send you an answer. hrhis graphically illustrates the high cost of railroading--that is the cost of the railroad itself. “Mr. Frank Trumbull, chair man of the Railway Executives’ Advisory Committee, states that the average passenger train in this conntry, earns for carrying pas sengers, mails, express and parcel post, about one dollar and forty cents per mile. “The average equipment of cars and locomotives provided for this ‘average passenger train’ weighs about live hundred and fifty tons, and is projected through space at a rate of speed varying from twenty to sixty miles an hour. “This train of steel, plate glass, expensive woodwork, electlic lights, etc., costing $200,000 and more, has to lie run at high speed for miles to earn as much as the pi ice of a ton of hap. “Do you happen to know of any tqiiivalent service for less money?” (MINING THAI APPLE MI EVE HE Scientists Say It Did Not Grow in Garden of Eden- A correspondent wrote to the Sun lately asking how the apple came to be named as the fruit of the temptation in the Garden of Eden, when the original Hebrew text and ail of the translations speak ouly of the tree of knowledge of good and evel. It seemed that none of the biblical authorite" had offered any an •■ i *> mi as In was able to learn. There is an answer, however, and that a very simple one, which will probably satisfy this inquirer and many others wfio might ask the same question. It is true that in Hebrew the words are EG Peri, the fruit of the tree, and the Greek and Latin versious so lranslate them. The Vulgate uses the word fructum for fruit, and this could not in any way be mistaken for the specific fruit apple. It is further admitt ed by scholars who hold that the paradise of the Bible, which is al so described upon day tablets of Babylonian literature, was located uear the Euphrates and thp Tigris, or iu a tropicai country, where no apyles could possibly grow, so that the fruit of this tree could not have been an appla. In a tablet lately translated, which originated in Nippud and is now in the museum of the Uni veisity of Pennsylvania in Phila dalphia, the frnit is deserided as the frnit of thecasfiia plant, ac. cording to Dr. Landon’s the translation. This is possible, for that plant ia well known m the region. F.nt the question of how the ap pie came into the story is still un answered, and no tahlet will answer it, for none could mention a fiuit unknown to the Babylon!-, ans not growing in there country. —New York Bid*.
