Dear Sir:—
In nil effort to eliminate lllnck
Hoot or wilt disease from the cot -
ton livid* of Georgia we want to:
get hi clou** touch with the cot
ton grower* nnd give them the re*
*ult* which have heen obtained
by the Slat** department of Kn*
to mo logy in experiment# for it*
control. We have discovered how
it cun he successfully controlled
but thin disco very will be of little
practical value unless we cun get
in clone tout’ll with those who »n
interested and outline in t'-lail
method* which they will have to
pur*ue.
The last legisbfltire appropria
ted flu.Otttj for black root for cot
ton, and wc want the mimeaof t he
cotton growers in Georgia whose
lauds are all'ecteil with tin* dis
ense in order that we can supply
them w ith some of tin- seed which
wc have developed to tin* point
where they are resistant to black
root t rom i ieorgia.
The Mexican Cotton Hull Weevil
will be in (ieorgia within tour to
live years, and il is very necessary
for us to get this disease under
control by that time; for twosm-li
severe pests at one time will ren
der cotton growing unprofitable.
In order to reach as many cot
ton growers as possible, we have
arranged a series of meetings
throughout the districts affected
with black roof of cotton, and a
copy of tin itinerary is enclosed
herewith. In addition to black;
root, other problems relating to
cotton will be discussed, such a«
boll rot or cotton authracnoHe.
cotton rust, boll weevil I, red spi
der, improvement of cotton seed .
by select ion, cure and use of cot
ton seed and cotton seed products,
fertilizers, and the importunee ot
using improved methods on the

TREED BY A BEAR
NEAR WAYCROSS.
Waycross, Ga., (»<*t. 21. —lbiil
road building in South Georgia
smack* somewhat of that in tin'
African jungle. The men w!m
are working on the Hebbnrd rail
road, which is being built from
Waycroas into th** Okefenokee
swamp, have had some strange ex
perieuces, but none of them havt
been us serious as that of Charley
1 Davis last Friday night.
Mr. Davis is a track foreman
for the JJebbard Company, nnd
! live* in a camp with a* number of
other men ut the edge of tin
swamp. Friday night bethought
he would haven diversion from
j railroad building, so In- walked
across tlie country n couple of
miles to call upon a young ladv.
When returning to camp about
9:110 o'clock at night ho was start
led to see coming toward him
only a few feet away a large black
l tear.
D«* is had no firearms except a
] 112-six-shooter, so he hiked for u
tree and made Ins ascension a*-
quickly a* possible.
The bear followed him to the
(tree and made several efforts to
j climb to his victim. As the bear
j would start to climb the tree
Davis would shoot it with his *!2.
and the hear would go down,
j Finally, when all his cartridges
were gone, t he bear decided to put
i off the job until morning, and
quietly lay himself down at the
- foot of Hie tree, and remained mi
i t il morning.
All this time the poor man was
,up in the tree waiting for some
one to come a long. This did not
happen until about day light,when
two fellow workmen came along
ami frightened the bear.
