Uu**, Editor and Publlihr mmmm ■——— OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BUTTS COUNTY. FRIDAY, SEPT. 12, 1913. TAX ON HEDGING. For the past three weeks the price of cotton has been steadily rising, due to tlie great decrease of the crop in the western cotton states. But this took a Hharp tumble last week when congress threatened to tax heavily all dealing in futures. Cottou dropped nearly $3.00 a bale on account of the action of the Democratic caucus committee. Now is this right or what is needed —to tax cotton futures alone, and leave wheat, corn, other agricultural products and commodities free to be gambled on ? It seems that congress is endeavoring to wipe out an evil —as an experiment —at the expense of the Southern farm er alone. Now it may be right to suppress gambling and other prevalent evils in the markets, but it is not just to make the Southern fanner foot the hills for such an experiment. As far as dealing in futures is concerned, as many be lieve it is helpful to tli?. market price of the staple as those who believe that it is injurious, bet the evil continue if that is what you wish to call it—and experiment with some other crop, especially one which is not so particulaily \ital to our section its cotton is to the South. 1 hroe dollars difference in the price of cotton, with none in other products, is too much to !)C lost now in the condition that our country and state are now. ARIZONA WASTES RECLAIMED. The seven million dollars employed by the government in capturing the waters of the Colorado river for irrigation purposes is believed to hive been well spent. Some two hun dred thousand acres in the neighborhood of Y utna and a great tract of sand dunes and sage brush along the old Santa Fe trail will now be well watered. The yield from.“sand dunes” even when watered plenti fully would seem to he doubtful, hut bountiful crops in great variety are expected from this desert region under irrigation, and it is probable that “sand dune” in the sea-beach sense is not the proper term. Irrigation has paid well in other places of the west, and no doubt the money spent on this great un dertaking in Arizona will eventily be repaid many times.— Maeon Telegraph. BUSINESS REPORT FOR ATLANTA. The increase in the price of cotton, following the (loyern ment crop report, has given a more hopeful tone to business generally, as a good crop of that staple is now practically as sured over almost the entire State of Georgia. A larger grain crop has been raised than is usual and consequently less feed will have to lu* brought in from other sections than in past years. Retailers in the city report a good volume of trade for the season, and the leading wholesale dealers are opti mistic in regard to the business outlook for the fall and wint er. The crop moving deposits of the Treasury Department have also created more confidence among planters and busi ness men, and the opinion of bankers is that the benefits from these deposits will he great. Local banks are well supplied with funds to properly move the crop, which is already being marketed in some sections. Heal estate op erators also anticipate increased activity during the fall and winter months. Collections are beginning to improve, es pecially from the sections where cotton is being ginned and marketed. —Dim’s Weekly Review. Editorial Etchings.

Atlanta, Ga. —Just as Georgia Is about to make one of the largest and best cotton crops In the history of the state, numerous complaints of the ravage* of the red cotton spider and the cotton boll worm are reaching the state department of entomology; and In many Instances these pests threat en serious damage. The cotton boll worm has been sent In from a number of South Georgia counties, while reports of the red spi der come from various sections of the state, both northern and southern. Of course the best remedy In both Instances Is prevention, says State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham; but where the pest is already on the cot ton plant Just approaching maturity, there is but one thing to do and that is to kill it with, some effective poi son. The red cotton spider is exceedingly small and its prevailing color is red. It feeds on the under side of the cot ton leaf. The female lays anywhere from 50 to 80 eggs, which hatch in about four days, and there may be ns many as 16 or 17 generations dur ing one year. The spiders suck the juice from the leaves, causing red dish spots to appear, later turning to dark brown. The leaves drop one by one until usually the plant dies. The pest increases most rapidly during hot dry weather until, toward the end of August, several acres of a field may become badly damaged. Pest Lives Through Winter. The cotton red spider often survives the winter, if he can find green food. Asa rule, they prefer the cultivated violet, common goidenrod or the poke weed, but will attack other plants if •these cannot be found. Where the red cotton spider is now prevalent in cotton fields, the only way to stop its ravages, Entomologist Worsham points out, is to spray the infected fields'with some good insect icide known to kill this particular pest. The cheapest and at the same time most effective insecticides for this purpose are either a two per cent, pre pared lime-sulphur solution, or a two per cent. Scalecide solution, used as a spray. The state department of en tomology will be glad to furnish at any time, information upon this and kindred subjects. Where the red cotton spider is prev alent Mr. Worsham calls attention to the necessity for the exercise of care to prevent its recurrence next year. Clean culture is important; all weeds and underbrush, especially pokeweed and goidenrod on ditch banks and field borders, should be grubbed out and burned. Cultivated violets near cotton fields should either be spray ed or destroyed. Trap borders, or thickly sown cotton, along the border of a field, which may he cut. off and burned, is a good preventative. A careful watch should be kept for all first attacks and infested plants should be removed and burned. Work of the 801 l Worm. Tlie moth of the boll worm, Mr. Worsham points out, generally lias a wing expanse of about one and one halt inches, and may be easily distin guished from the cotton leaf worm or caterpillar moth by the fact that, when at rest, it holds its wings slight ly raised and parted, while the cotton caterpillar moth always rests with the wings tightly closed. In Georgia there are at least four and possibly five generations of the boll worm each season. Fortunately for cotton, the female moth prefers to deposit her eggs on young corn, the eggs being laid on all parts of the plant, but preference is shown for the silk, if it is present. Each female de posits on au average of 1,100 eggs. These hatch in from three to ten days, depending on the season. It is usually the thisd brood that injures cotton • most severely, along in August, when the corn begins to mature. Corn planted as a trap in rows from 200 to 300 feet through the entire field, so as to he in prime silking con dition about August 1, will attract the jjest away from cotton. The eggs are deposited on the corn which can be Cut and fed to stock when the worms are partly grown. Since the worm, when fully grown, descends into the ground where it passes the pupal stage, a splendid preventative is winter plowing of the ground, which exposes the pupa and kills it. When the worm Is on the plant the only thing to do. of course, is to kill it by poison. Paris green may be used In the proportion of one pound of Paris green to two pounds of flour, and at the rate of three pounds of Parts green to the acre; but the most effective method has been found to be dusting with arsenate of lead. In the case of this poison no dilution is necessary, and it should be used at the rate of about three pounds per acre. The duster is made of a one inch board one and one-half feet long er than the width of the rows and three inches wide, with a one and one-lialf inch auger hole bored five inches from each end. and under each hole is attached a sack made of un starched sheeting about fifteen inches long. The arsenate of lead is placed in these sacks and one person can dust fifteen to twenty acres per day by riding on horseback and dusting as he passes between the rows. Wherever the cotton boll worm Is found this remedy should be applied at once. Raiqy Days Come to everybody. Life has more ups than downs.
