Alfalfa Weevil Control.
Spreading slowly but uniform
ly over cultivated and wild coun
try, the alfalfa weevil has invad
ed the western slope of the Rocky
Mountains. One of the most
common means of distribution is
through the movement of infest
ed alfalfa hay, but the insects
have been found also in clothing
and trunks.
Means of controlling the weevil
that are being used extensively
consist of flooding the field so as
to cover them with sediment,
spraying with arsenicals in the
spring and between cuttings;
progressive pasture; and harrow
ing the fields when they are dry
in order to produce something re
sembling a dust mulch, which
kills the insects.
Sugar Moving Slowly.
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 9. — Red
tape is still preventing the move
ment of Cuban raw sugars to this
country and as a result the big
plant of the Savannah Sugar Re
finery is not yet in operation.
There are indications, state of
ficials, that the sugar will soon
begin moving and then the plant
can start up again. Government
officials have no idea when bot
toms will be released for trans
portation of sugar to Savannah
and the United States.

When Business Needs You Most,
—Conserve Your Energy
When success means straining nerve
force to the utmost
—when minutes given to your affairs are
precious
—when your strength is the driving force
of your store or factory or farm
—then you must have a motor car.
a a a a
A motor car saves valuable time—saves
your vitality—during business hours.
And—after business hours—provides
recreation and vigor—giving outdoor en
joyment that helps you in the daily battle.

The economy, durability, and mechanical

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, lt)18.
A Report on Cotton
Ginned in Montgomery.
There was ginned in Mont
gomery county, prior to Decem
ber 18, 19,777 bales of upland
cotton. To this date of 1916
there had been ginned 13,380,
showing a gain of 6,397 bales for
last year.
The total for Georgia, 1917,
was 1,719,983. The total for the
state, 1916, was 1,780,310. The
cotton year ends March 10. Thus
it may be surmised that the yield
for 1917 will be very close to that
of 1916.
During the past year the boll
weevil had little effect on the
crop of Montgomery county;
however, this is no assurance
that the pest will not evade the
county this year. During the
past year weevils were found in
abundance in certain sections of
the county, but did not spread
over a very extended area. No
doubt but that the recent severe
cold will have slackened his pro
gress in this section.
German Soldiers Now
Moving to West Line.
Paris, Jan. 7.—At least 75,000
German troops have been moved
from the eastern front to the
western battle line, the military
expert of The Journal estimated
today.
Artillery is again playing the
chief role in the operations of the
various fronts.
Heavy cannonading was report
ed today from various sections of
the western line, from the Italian
war theater and also from Mace
donia, where the Bulgarian and
Austro-German artillery has sud
denly become very active in the
Mon astir sector.
Along the lower Piave River,
in Italy, Austra-Hungarian and
Italian troops fought a sharp en
gagement across the stream, fir
ing at each other with rifles, ma
chine guns and small caliber ar
tillery. _____
