Inns of Court were provided for the

olden times country houses of the

csuragement or Grave Alarm,
if We Fight.
Atlanta. Ga. —When tlie Mexican cob
ton boll weevil comes to Georgia- -au<
the chancer, are that a few of him
at least are already here he Is com
ing to stay.
Although extermination is impossi
ble, State Entomologist E. l.ee Wor
sham says there is no occasion for dis
couragement or grave alarm, if —w*
fight. Once here lie will remain a
perpetual problem, and for the cot
ton grower it will be simply a ques
tion of the best methods of keeping tlm
pest effectively in check.
Energetic enforcement of Georgia’s
quarantine regulations against, the boll
weevil by the department is the one
thing that lias kept the pest out of
the state so long. The legislature,
which has just adjourned gave tlie
man of J 15.000 for the continuation of
the fight against the weevil. The
money is being spent largely in edu
cating the farmers as to what to do to
minimise the effect of the weevil when
It comes.
“It is our plan to organize addi
tional cotton breeding clubs during
the winter and spring in South Geor
gia counties." said Mr. Worsham. “We
want to render the greatest servicu
to the greatest possible number with
the appropriation which has been
made for this work.”
Price a Strong Convert.
Commissioner of Agriculture J. D.
PWce, as the result of a recent trip
to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alaba
ma. is a complete convert to the real
ization of the damage that the boll
weevil has done and can do. Com
missionep Price now declares that If It
should appear suddenly in the cotton
fields of Georgia tomorrow, it would
throw the state into a panic. Asa val
uable method of fighting the weevil
which attacks only cotton, Mr. Price
urges diversification of crops and the
raising of more meat, forage and food
stuffs at home.
Entomologist Worsham says the
fight is going to be a hard oue, but
with careful effort the farmers of
Georgia eari minimize the effect of
it to such an extent that it will he
comparatively small. As an indica
tion of the necessity for constant vig
ilance and attention, it is pointed out
that each female will lay about 300
eggs, which come to maturity within
15 to 25 days, according to the season;
and there are about four generations
each year, so that each female may
give rise to 12,500,000 progeny.
The boll weevil made Its appearance
in Southwestern Texas in 1802, and
has made an annual advance of 50
to 125 miles eastward. It is now lu
Southeastern Alabama, and is expect
ed to he found in Southwestern Geor
gia before the end of the season. Mr.
Worsham says:
Attacks Squares and Bolls.
“Tiie female deposits her eggs on
young squares ami bolls, preferably
the former. During the early season
it does not attack mature bolls, but.
when food is scarce in the late season,
boils, are badly infested.
"Ti e boll weevil v, inters under
trash and rubbish on the borders of
cotton fields. Enough of them .m -
vive to make breeding rapid and num
erous in the spring.
“The hoi I weevil travels by means
of Its wings, and can easily By 25 to
50 miles at a single flight, in Its
search for food.
“In many places the weevil has pro
duced a condition akin to a panic, be
cause of demoralization of labor and
business generally.
“Hut tin farmers, in infested areas,
have demonstrated that cotton can he
grown successfully under boll weevil
conditions. It will he at least two or
three years before the we.evil covers
enough territory in Georgia, to do a
great deal of damage. If our farmers
begin now, they can prevent, to a
large degree, the usual demoraliza
tion and depreciation of land values.
How to Control It.
“The principal methods resorted to
in weevil control are, first, the plant
ing of early maturing varieties. The
growers in boll weevil territory who
are growing cotton successfully, plant
as early as is reasonably safe and
make it a point to plant the varieties
which mature earliest. The weevils
will not attack mature bolls early in
the season.
“In the second place, hand picking
of v.eevils and infested squares is re
sorted to. The boll weevil does not
damage young cotton to any great ex
tent, but waits for the young squares
to appear Every leaf should be turn
ed over and examined for wpevila and
the bugs picked off. '’any have found
that the best time to begin picking Is
about ’en days before the quares
begin to form, because about 30 per
cent, of the weevils die before this
time. Cotton should be harvested rap
Id.y, and the b' t method is to chop
(he stalks and plow them under aft
soon as possible, to prevent the weevil
from getting to his winter quarters.
"The fact that early maturing varie
ties are more susceptible to black root
or w ilt disease lias made the problem
a more serious one for Georgia, but.
this disease CHn be controlled by prop
er rotation and the growing of resist
ant varieties developed by the Depart
ment of Entomology and the United
SfK

Careful Seed Selection.
“in growing cotton under boll wee
vil conditions, seed selection is ali lm
.portant. Every farmer should select
his own seed front the stalks which
mature earliest, which tiave the most
cotton and have a tendency to resist
disease. The department lias organ
ized cotton breeders’ clubs in each
of the Southwest Georgia counties,
and supplied the members with the
li(-- 1. seed it was able to develop. At
present we are visiting these dubs
and allowing the growers right in the
field exactly how to select their cot
ton. Seed from individual stalks
should not be mixed, and if the grow
era do not own a small hand gin, seed
are ginned by the Department of
Entomology and returned to owner.’
