Report of State Entomologist
Lee Worsham Is Interesting
The report of State Entomologist E.
Lee Worsham for the year 19-15, is a
most interesting document and should
be read by every farmer and horticul
turalist in Georgia.
This report is in reality a statement
of the work done by the Georgia State
Board of Entomology, of whch Mr.
Worsham is secretary. The work of
ths board consists of research or ex
perimental work for control of or
chards and crops for the purpose of
directing control of insect pests and
plant diseases, inspection of all stock
in nurseries of the state; inspection
ot all stock entering the state from
foreign countries; inspection of grow
ing crops; growing and distribution ot
cotton seed resistant to disease; is
suing of bulletins and circulars on va
rious pests attacking plant life; en
forcement of all quarantine laws as
regards shipments of plants or mater
ials that will introduce insects and
diseases in places where they do net
occur at the present time. In addi- I
tion to above, the different members of
the staff attend agricultural and hor
ticultural meetings in the state to
give farmers he benefit of results ot
their investigations in insects and dis
eases.
This report shows that for the year
<1915 the normal amount of damage
was done to the various crops of the
state by insects and diseases. The
statement is made that Georgia’s en
tomological investigations net the
growers about $250,000,000 annually,
and were it not for ravages made by
insects and diseases this would be in
creased to 275 or 300 million dollars
a year. It is also shown in this re
port that if the proper steps were tak
en and the right effort put forward by
the farmers themselves, and by the di
rections given by the government for
their control much good would ob
tain.
The report is very gratifying m
some respects, as it shows that many

SERVICE FIRST"
It’s “safety first’’ and “preparedness”
everywhere. The same thing is true
in a newspaper office although they
call it “service first.”
That’s what the Times-Recorder is giving you.
The news at home and abroad ahead of everything.
In these times of world-wide war, its interesting for
every person to know what is going on. When
you read it this afternoon in the Times-Recorder,
it’s twelve hours ahead of anything else.
The Daily and Sunday Times-Recorder is 50c
a month; sl.2d for three months and $5 for a year
The Weekly Times-Recorder is $1 a year. Try it.

”A Paper For All The People”
1. citizens are calling on the department
a for the help which it stands ready to
d give.
Considerable space is given to a re
view of the boll weevil question. It
1 shows that this pest was first dis
e
covered in Georgia the latter part of
. Auguts, and the first specimen was
r
secured at Thomasville about August
25, and before the end of the year it
f had spread over 24 counties, going as
[1 far east as Pidcock, and as far north
k on the western side of the state as
i West Point, in Troup county. Since
j the appearance of the weevil in the
- state, this report shows that much
t valuable and efficient work has been
- done, and that the department is now
■ doing everything within its power to
- combat the evil. What the result
i will be cannot be told at this time;
■ neither as to damage to the crops or
1 probable success in control or over
coming the ravages of the pest.
• i This department has also done good
work along other lines, as the report
shows. Considerable attention has
been given the work of cotton breed
ing for resistance to black root and
wilt. Good progress has been made
in this direction, and it is ultimately
believed experiments along this line
wli be successful, and these diseases ,
will be overcome. Experiments have
also been made with the various spe
cies or kinds of cotton in an effort to '
control the disease anthracnose. It
is clearly shown that to control this
disease, too much attention cannot be I■
paid the selection of seed. <
Only a brief mention is made here
of the many things this report treats
upon. But by it is proven that this
board which is a department of the
state agricultural bureau work is a
splendid success, and is becoming
more valuable to our citizens each
year as they learn more about its ob
jects and aims, and how to take ad- 1
■ vantage of the benetfis to be had.
Eclipse of Moon
Can Be Seen Here
During The Night
t
( A partial eclipse of the moon will
be an astronomical event of this even
ing when four-fifths of the night light
will be obscured, beginning shortly
■ after 10 o’clock, and continuing until
after 1 a. m., Saturday morning.
The first contact is scheduled to
occur on the northeastern corner of
the moon, and the last contact on
the west part. As is known an eclipse
of the moon is caused by the moon’s
passage through the shadow of tlv.
earth, and that it can happen only
at full moon. The earth’s shadow
is reckoned as being three times
as great across as the moon, but the
latter* constellation will not pass
directly through the shadow*.
Astronomers reckon that there will
not be another eclipse this year, but
in 1917, seven are scheduled, four
of the sun and three of the moon.
