PICKING GREATLY RETARDED Complaints Reach the Department of Rust, Rotting and Ravage. of ' the Boll Worm—Fodder Will lie Scarce, Aguicultuhal Obpahtmh2?t # Atlanta, Sepr. l t 10QL The characteristic features of August weather were very heavy rams in most of the counties of the state, while the temperature ranged slightly* below the normal, as a result of which the cotton crop suffered materially for the waut of sunshine and warmer weather. Henoe many complaints have reached the de partment concerning injury from rust, rotting of bolls and ravages of the boll worm, so that the crop condi tions on Sept. 1 are far from satisfacto ry. The average condition of the oottou orop has falleu from 64 per cent on June 1 to 75 per cent on Sapt l. In addition to the fact that the cotton crop is 16 days late, picking has been Very materially retarded, owing to tne August rains. Ihe condition and prospects of corn, which ou June 1 were 60 per oent, were on Sept. 1 77 per oeut. This de crease in the prospects of the corn orop was caused in many cases oy overflows of the creeks anu rivers, resulting from the excessive August rains. A large per cent of the fodder also has been dumaged by the same agenoy and this forage will be unusually .-cu'ce the coming year. Most of the cane, sweet potatoes, peas, ground ;ca- , Upland riocaud the grasses promise well. Southern Section—Appling, Baker, Berrien, Brooks, Br.vau, Bulloch, Cal houn, Camden, Charlsou, Chatham.

THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS And the Librarian Cnnld Not Annrrt One of Them, One day two well dressed young wo men approached the desk of the read ing room of n big library. Cue of them took a memorandum from her pocket- book. “Cun you tell me how mnn.v ynrds-- ob, that's the wrong liRt.’” she said, hastily bringing forth another slip of paper. "Here It is. Will you pleas* Tell me who is Rudyard Kipling's 'h- vorlte author?” “1 am unable to tell you. never hnv- Ing heard that he had one.” admitted oue of the librarians. “Deal mel" said the young woman Irritably. “It is oue of the questions for our next club meeting. Well, which oue of Thackeray's books brought him the mosi Income?” “That you can probably Qnd out by consulting a book, the nmber or which I will give you.” said the official. “Oh, 1 can’t stop to look It up I” she said hurriedly. “1 thought you could tell me at once. Well, there's one more thing. Bessie Cummock, my cousin lo Manchester, had a splendid book whim I was there last year for uuecdotes of famous people. I cau’t remember the name of It or who wrote it, but It was about so big”—Illustrating with one Hu ger on tbe desk—"and It bus a dark green cover. Now, can you tell me what It is? Some day when I have time I would like to get It out Or course you must have It In tbe libra ry?” For the third time the official was obliged to confess his inability to give her direct Information. She looked at him with a piercing gaze and turned away, saying audibly to her compan ion: “There, that Just shows what all this talk about their being examined for positions In libraries amounts to: Three perfectly simple questions, all on liter ary subjects, and be couldn't answer one of tbeinl”—Savings Journal. Tbe Toothpick Habit. “I’d like to know what my custom ers do with all the toothpicks they car ry away,” remarked a restaurant pro prletor the other day. “Few men take a single toothpick. Most ef them take half a dozen and many u whole hand ful. and when they come In here again for the next meal they take ns many over again. They don't need them It's all due to the toothpick chewing habit, which seems to be growing. There Isn’t anytblug particularly pleasant about chewiug a wooden toothpick, and it tnliy be Injurious if a piece of the wood lodges In the throat or gets dowu Into tbe stomach, as it is very apt to. But the toothpick chewing iiuiilt is be coming a rival to tbe cult# and tobacco habits. The only reusun 1 can give for It is (but the toothpicks are free and gum and tobacco are not.”—New York Bun.
