No portion of the known world posseses so varied and valuable resources as are to be found in the Southern States. Her forest fea tures, surpassing soils, mineral munificence and wonderful water powers are the admiration of an impartial world. These wealth producing eviden ces are now arousing the interest of the home seeker, the investor, the miner and the manufacturer, as well as the agriculturist, the fruit grower and the stock-raiser from all climes. The association of capital large ly directs industrial life in its various stages. In farming, fruit growing and stock raising the in dividuality of the individual re mains unimpaired, and he who owns his home stead is indeed an independent man, reaping the fruits of an intelligent brain and brawn. While other sections are hold ing out inducements to the settler, no region is comparable with the South, with countless advantages for every one who comes within her bounteous borders —with a climate so charming in spring and autumn, moderate in summer and mild in winter; where crops are growing all the year, and often the same land yielding two crops a year; where farm products are of the best quality, and all fruit ripens to perfection, with color and flavor unsurpassed; where beef and mutton an excellence re quired in the most exacting mar ket ; where the horses, raised up on perfect cereals and splendid grasses, are the finest and best to be found in America. The diversified cropping now conducted in the South side by side with the most rapid indus trial development in the United States mark this section as one in which the wise men selects, for conditons are always improving, and greater successes are yet to come along this line. —Marietta Journal.

Many a word spoken by us is af terward regreted, but no word of of affectionate appreciation to which we have given utterance finds a place among our sadly re membered expressions. Looking back over our intercourse with a dead friend or a fellow worker, we may, indeed, regret that we were ever betrayed into saying a hasty or a harsh or unloving word of censure or criticism in that inter course, and we may wish vainly that we had now the privilege of saying all the loving words that we might honestly have spoken while they were yet with us.

THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1902. COTTON LOUSE ENEMY One Insect That Proves to Bo the Planter’s Friend. THE CONVERGENT LADY-BUG Instead of Being Injurious to the Cot ton Plant This Little Bug Is of Inestimable Benefit to Same. Every one knows that the cotton, In common with nearly all other kinds of plants, is subject to the attack of in sects, but very few realize the ini mense variety of them that depend more or less upon this staple for food. The cotton worm, cotton boll worm, Mexican cotton boll weevil, cotton louse, etc., are but a few examples of the most common, but fortunately only a few are at all apt to appear in serious numbers, and these are very variable in their appearance. Sometimes they occur in such abundance as to appear to jeopardise the entire crop in a more or less extended area, while again their numbers are so insignifi cant as to pass unnoticed. This striking variability is due in part to a great many causes, some of them easy to understand, others more obscure in their nature. Nothing is of greater importance, though, than the weather conditions at certain seasons of the year. Most insects thrive on a dry and warm season, while the opposite is true of fungous diseases. Last year the excessive rains and long continued periods of cloudy weather made ths conditions very favorable for the latter mentioned, and the result was an out break, quite serious in some sections, of the fungous disease known as cotton anthracnose. This season the dry and hot weather which has continued throughout May and June, will, unless July and August are extremely wet, render a recurrence of this disease extremely improbable, but it has been very favorable to the insects. Luckily most of the insect pests are restricted to a few generations per year, and it will on that account re quire more than one favorable season for such varieties to increase to alarm ing numbers. A few are, however, dif ferent in their nature, producing anew generation every ten days or two weeks, and these sorts will, unless some other natural cause Intervenes, Increase many thousand fold in the course of a favorable season. The cotton louse belongs to the lat ter class. This insect only requires about ten days to develop from a n£w ly born young to an adult capable of producing young on its own account, and the rate of increase would be al most beyond computation did not nat ural causes intervene and prevent such a disaster. It is very safe to say that without such intervention this insect alone would practically ruin the cotton crop the first season that it was allowed free sweep. But nature takes care of her own, both plants and insects, and such a calamity as that Just mentioned will probably never take place. So sure as an insect passes the bounds pre scribed for it, and threatens serious destruction of the varieties of plants which serve as its food, some ob stacle arises which prevents further increase, usually in the form of some predacious enemy or more commonly yet, of some dread contagious disease which sweeps through the Insect ar mies and leaves hardly survivors enoughh to continue the race. It is only by some action of mankind that the balance of nature is destroyed, as when some pernicious insect is intro duced into anew country, or large areas of land are made to produce crops not eminently fitted for just that locality. Avery good illustration of a natu ral check to the too rapid increase of a noxious insect has been called to the attention of the State Entomological Departmnt several times of late. The season haß been especially favorable for the cotton louse, and many com plaints have been received concerning it. Recently, nearly every mall has brought in descriptions or specimens of anew Insect which the planters are finding In numbers on their cotton, and which they fear is going to work them further mischief. Most of these inquiries have been from the middle tier of counties; Washington, Jeffer son, Twiggs, Houston, Sehhley, Monroe and Marlon, but other sendings were from further south. It is with a great deal of pleasure that we are enabled to as BUre 0,,r correspon, “/ dents that for once there is no harm to f ' be apprehended from the abundance of the insect in question, but most decidedly the contrary. It proves to be one of the true lady-bugs, known as the Conver gent Lady-Bug on acount of the two converging white lines on the black area Just back of the head, and like all others of its family which I have yet found inhabiting Georgia, is bene ficial in its nature. All of them feed largely, if not exclusively, upon the different kinds of scale insects and plant lice, and this one which has sev. eral times before been noticed preying upon the plant lice infesting fruit trees has attacked the cotton louse this sea son in a very business-like manne". Figure 1 represents the adult winged Insect enlarged about twice. Figure 2 represents one of the young, also somewhat enlarged, as they may be found crawling about over the leaves. Both the young and y the adult are very 'fYwWtjjPSftSt* voractious, and devour immense quantities VS of lice. Figure 3 is of the inter mediate resting stage known as the pupa, enlarged. This is bright orange in color, with black spots, and may be found attached to the leaves and stems of cotton, or other louse- iu fested plants. The specimen from which the drawing was made was at tached to a leaflet of locust growing beneath a large plum tree which was covered with lice. It is specimens of this form which are more commonly Bent us for determination, oftentimes 15 or 20 being attached to the tip of a cotton stalk, and nearly always on arrival some of them will have hatche 1 into active individuals like figure 1 The eggs, which are not represented in the figures, are pale orange in color, and are laid in little clusters in situ ations where the young, which are very strong anad active from tha first, will have no difficulty in finding food. Two or three weeks, if the weather is favorable and food abund ant, will be sufficient for their entire transformation, and they will pass suc cessively through larger and larger stages of active crawling larvae, then through the resting stage, or pupa, and finally becoming active again, they ac quire wings, and are ready to lay eggs .. for another and IKjrjl&N more numerous —generation. 1 n the autumn, when the food supply becomes scarce and finally exhausted, the full grown lady hugs seek shel tered places in the woods, under the rough bark of trees, ainonggst dried leaves, etc., and in the earliest spring come forth in numbers greatly diminished by the hardships of the winter, but with courage unabated. As an illustration of the queer places which they choose for winter quarters, 1 once found a large colony, perhaps numbering hundreds, snugly ensconced amongst the bases of the leaves which thickly covered the twigs of a young long leaved pine. In conclusion, regarding the appear, ance of these Insects in cotton fields, I would repeat that there can be no question as to their beneficial nature. Every one of them represents the death of hundreds of cotton lice, anl the prevention ef future generations of thousaands. Though these pests may still be numerous and doing some in jury, it must not be forgotten that were it not for the check given by their enemy they would be present in numbers that might not injure merely, but destroy. Protect them, therefore, and do nothing that will hinder them In their good work, —State Depart ment of Agriculture, W. F. Flske, Assistant Entomologist. Something About Fowls. The introduction of Asiatic-bred fowls Into the United States had great Influence for good among our Ameri can fowls. The Shanghai, or original Cochin, brought Increased size and bet ter egg production and their use as a cross upon the common barnyard fowls created a desire for more and better poultry. The promiscuous mix ing of these new and highly esteemed fowls laid the foundation for all of our so-called American breeds. The Brahma was the firßt breed credited to us as an American produc tion, anad though classed as an Asi atic fowl, they are the outcome of great skill in breeding. The Plymouth Rocks are great fa vorites wjth chicken fanciers because of their constitutional vigor. They prosper where any other fowl can live and thrive under ail conditions that are at all suitable for fowls. Our present type of the Plymouth Rock is the outcome of a careful hand ling of fowls by the mating of Rose comb American Dominique males with single comb black Java females. Those having the best color and single comb among those produced were se lected and bred together, and thence was the start of the present perfected fowl. Breeds allied to the Plymouth Rocks are the Jersey Blue arid the Rhode Island Red. But we have not time to go Into full descriptions of all these varieties. What has been said is only to show that there is In poultry raising great room for the exercise of skill. Breeders of poultry In Georgia do not generally need the close houses that are found in higher latitudes. During the winter they may be used to advantage. But at all seasons thor. ough ventilation Is an absolute neces sity. The roof of a chicken house should be close enough to keep out the rain, and all its sides, except the south, should be close enough to exclude the cold winds. Do not let the fowls be exposed to draughts of air. Be careful to protect the roosts against such draughts. The floor of a chicken house should be frequently sprinkled with diluted sulphuric add, which should be carefully handled to avoid injury to the clothing or persons of those applying it. In Georgia fowls arc healthier, if left to roost in the trees during the sum mer. Birds free to roam find their susten ance from seeds, greed vegetable mat ter and insects. If confined within narrow limits they must be supplied with what they desire and need, by the foresight and provident care of the owner. Otherwise the fowls will suffer privation and beeome unprofit able for either eggs or flesh. market day ( remember l ~ Uneeda Biscuit You can't gain- dfe'' say their fresh- 'jJPJjBl®, \ ness, for there’s Hssp&LY's 1 /JoWVFt theln-er-sealon A Business Man Says. “When 1 started in business I made it a cardinal rule to pay bills cheerfully, and though I am not gray-headed, I have never seen the time when I regretted it. And why should not I be pleasant when a bill is presented. 1 am the party who has been accomodated not the man who presents the bill; yet there are a great many men, I am sorry to notice, who always act grouchy when a bill is presented. Asa matter of policy it is best to assume a cheerful air when the bill collector comes around. Col lecting is not a pleasant tusk as I know by experience, and a col lector has enough to contend with at the best. If 1 can send him out of my place feeling that lie was just as welcome us if he hud come to pay me money I have made him more comfortable and J know that I am. Sometimes the bills come in just when 1 am short of money but if I pay the bills I pay it like a lord if it takes the last dollar J have. It doesn’t make the bill smaller to pay it grudgingly but it mokes me look smaller in other eyes. 1 have in mind a business man whom others have said wus an unpleasant man to collect a bill from, but he always paid my bills with a smile and I think a great deal more of him for it, and it increases his credit with me. No sir, if I am feeling ugly and out of sorts the bill collector never knows it. If the bill is all right, I put on my best smile, tell the collector he’s entirely wel come and tell him to come again, and 111 bet he goes out the door thinking that I am a gentleman and before the day is over he tells somebody else that I am a good man to do business with. The man who is all smiles and graciousness when you buy goods of him and surly when you collect a bill is making big mistake and driving away trade.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought CATARRH The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and ; 'Ajf yMW astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco * -.Jr *3 and cigarettes or any external or local application, is *!?■*,''jL just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary V£g||Sß|nJ 1 relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus. Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it ( checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and vapors which should pass off through the skin, are -y thrown back upon tin- mucous membrane or inner skin, producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus, much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red, hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that does not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the S ■ ii circulation all offensive matter, and when rich, pure blood is again coursing through the body the mucous membranes become healthy and the skin active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected.
