The 801 l Weevil Quarantine
And the Necessity For It
Atlanta. December. —(Special.)—
The new boll weevil quarantine line
in Georgia has Just been defined and
marked out by the State Board ol
Entomology, effective Monday, Decern
ber 6, and a rigid adherence to the
roles and regulations laid down by
the board will be insisted upon in or
der to prevent the spread of the boll
weevil at a rate more rapid than un
der ordinary natural conditions.
The Mexican cotton boll weevil,
aays the department, entered Georgia
in August, and, owing to the very
late season and favorable conditions,
spread more rapidly than anticipated.
It has now been found in the follow
ing counties: Decatur, Grady, Thom
as, Baker, Lowndes, Berrien, Colquitt,
Mitchell, Miller, Early, Baker, Worth,
Tift, Dougherty, Calhoun, Clay, Quit
man, Randolph, Terrell, Sumter,
Schley, Webster, Stewart, Chattahoo
chee, Marion, Talbot, Muscogee, Har
ris, Upson, Pike, Meriwether, Troup,
Heard, Coweta, Fayette, Campbell,
Carroll, Douglass and Haralson, a to
tal of forty, or more than one fourth
of the cotton growing area of the
stale.
Conditions Were Favorable
It has been an unusually favorable
year for the weevil, and it has ad
vanced uniformly through northeast
ern Alabama and in southern Tennes
see. If it had not been for the strict
enforcement of quarantine regulations
controlling the movement of cotton
.seed, hulls, corn In the shuck and such
'other articles as are liable to carry
boll weevil, this pest would now be
well established in every section of
Oeorgia. At the first killing frost the
weevil went Into winter quarters, and
one of his principal hiding places is In
stored cotton seed. This creates the
necessity for a strict enforcement of
the quarantine regulating the move
ment of cotton seed from infested into
non-infested territory.
The present actual boll weevil line
In Georgia as just established, enters
the state from Alabama at Newsville
in Haralson county, passes through
Tallapoosa and Bremen, then through
Horace in Carroll; through Bill Arp
and Chapel Hill In Douglass county;
slightly north of Red Oak In Camp
bell county; then lurns southward and
peases through Brooks in Fayette ;
just east of Molena in Pike and east
of Thunder In Upson; slightly east of
Junction City in Talbot and a few
miles east of Fllavllle in Schley ;
thence slightly west of Americus in
Sumter, through Phtlema in Lee,
through Shingler and east of Sumner
in Worth; thence through Dosia in
Tift, just east of Nola In Berrien end

Beed For Crushing Only
In fixing the new quarantine area
for the shipment of cotton seed until
the movement of the next crop begins
on August 1, 1916, the stale board of
entomology has authorized the ship
ment of seed from infested territory
for crushing purposes only to oil mills
that are situated within the 20-mile
safety zone This safety zone is an
area 20 miles wide, just east of the
actual boll weevil line. This applies
solely to seed for crushing purposes,
but these mills will not be permitted
to ship cotton seed hulls to points
east of the 20 mile safety zone until
January 1 and after.
There will be no restriction upon
cotton seed hulls between January 1
and August 1, even from Infested to
non-infested territory, as there is
practically no danger of carrying the
weevil during that time. Articles
which may not be shipped from in
fested into non infested territory, ex
cept within the 20mile zone, include
seed cotton, cotton seed, sacks used
for seed cotton or cotton seed within
eight months, cotton seed hulls be
tween August 1 and December 31,
Spanish moss and corn in shuck be
tween October 1 and June 30, living
weevils or weevil stages, household
goods containing any of the forego
ing. Where no time limit is specified
the restriction is continuous.
Articles whose shipment is not. re
stricted include baled cotton, linters
and loose cotton lint, cotton seed
meal, cake and oil, corn shelled or in
the ear with shuck removed, cotton
seed shown by affidavit to have been
sacked for eight months or more, cot
ton seed for planting after fumigation
by an entomologist, hay and empty
freight cars.
May Delay The Weevil
Strict observance of these quaran
tine regulations may result in holding
the weevil in check in this state for
two or three years longer than other
wise. Had it not been for the quaran
tine against articles from infested
states, the weevil would have spread
all over Georgia long ago. it is im
possible to prevent the spread of the
weevil by natural means, but artificial
means may be almost wholly con
trolled.
Everyone is warned not to carry
live boll weevils into non-infested ter
ritory. There are very strict national
and state laws against any person
having live boll weevils in his posses
sion, and the penalties for violation
are severe. The state board of ento
mology states that these laws will be
rigidly enforced
Go After Apple
And Pear Cankers
T. H. McHatton, Professor Of Horti
culture, Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture
During the winter, go after the ap
ple and pear trees for blight cankers.
Cut out the cankered spots till heal
thy wood is reached. Make good
clean cuts with a sharp knife, then
paint the wood with a disinfectant
paint, or apply Bordeaux mixture.
These will prevent spores which may
have been left there, from developing
and bringing on next spring the
blight.
It has been demonstrated that the
blight w inters over only in these can
kers and that the sweet exudation
of the cankers attract bees in the
spring, which, in turn, go to the flow
ers of the tree, carrying the sport's,
thus spreading the blight over the
twigs of the trees.
One ton of mixed hay contains 960
pounds of digestible dry matter.

in Barrow' county, but more than
seven milt's from Statham. A few
ye&rs ago a murder was committed
several miles from Statham and camt

unfair that when a still is found and
a murder committed almost in anoth

the name of having all those crimes
committed in her section. We would
like for the public to know that Stat

just that too much is heaped on her

Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh that Contain Mercury
S3 mercury will surely di-stroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Cos., Toledo, 0., contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. In buying Hall's
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genu
