Notice is hereby given that a spe

next session of the Georgia Legis
lature with the following caption:
A BILL
An Act lo amend an act approved
Atlanta, Juhe.—(Special.)—Just be
cause the Mexican cotton boll weevil
has been somewhat inactive during
the spring months, due almost entirely
to dry weattjer conditions, is no rea
son to believe it will not show up in
large numbers in many, if not all, of
the counties where it was found last
year.
The boll weevil was actually found
last fall, live and active, in about for
ty Georgia counties, according to the
records of the State Hoard of Ento
mology. This spring, department in
spectors have made careful search in
practically every county, lor the re
appearance of the insect, and the last
of May found it for the first time in
large numbers.
Since the recent rains the weevil Is
coming out much more rapidly, and
inspections in Decatur county at the
end of May showed them to be quite
abundant. Unconfirmed reports are
coming in, of the presence of the wee
vil in many other counties where it
was found last, fall, and these are be
ing investigated.
Cowpea Weevil Caused Alarm.
Considerable alarm has been caus
ed in some of the counties where tile
boll weevil was found last year, over
the discovery of the cowpea pod wee
vil in cotton planted after cowpeas.
This insect feeds on the cotton plant,
but is rarely sufficiently abundant to
do serious damage. This is a small,
snout beetle, and while it has a slight
resemblance to the boll weevil, It is
very much darker in color, and varies
In shape.as well as habits.
Technically It is qulle different, and
Is very easily distinguished from the
boll weevil.
Nevertheless, the board advises
farmers to send all insects which they
suspect are boll weevils, direct to the
department for examination
der buds, squares or blooms. Most of
the cotton in South Georgia is now
putting on squares, nnd il is upon
these that the weevils will center
their attacks. They feed to some ex
tent upon the squares and deposit
their eggs in them, one egg being
placed in each square. The square
turns yellow, flares open and falls to
the ground.
If as many as fifty weevils to the
acre are found, the board recommends
hand picking of weevils and infested
squares. Weevils and infested squares
should he collected and burned or I
buried deep enough to prevent the [CHAIN GANG SENTENt E
adults from emerging.

CAPITOL REMOVAL QUESTION
BEING AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED
B npiicurs Unit quite u vigorous
llglil will lie imule in the legislature
this summer by those who fuvor the
j will of the stale cupitol to Mu-

Macon Daily Telegraph is running
each day a statement from some
member of the legislature stating
his reasons for favoring the sub
mission of the question lo the peo-

jmovulists already have a formida
ble working strength. In fuel,
they claim about 85 pledged voles,
besides others not formally pledged,
hut in fact favoring their position.
It is understood of course that the
question now up is merely whether
the people shall lie allowed to vote
on the question, and those who fu
vor removal are insisting that no
body ought to object to the submis
sion of the proposition to the voters,
even if personally he prefers lo
have the cupitol remain in Atlanta.
