Death to the 801 l Weevil
In addition to the varied agri
cultural instucfciou given at the
12,000 or more “demonstration
farms” operated in the Southern
States by agents of the Federal
Department of Agriculture, South
ern cotton growers are receiving
through the cc-operation of Presi
dent Finley of the Southern Rail
way, many valuable bulletins on
scientific cotton growing, aiming
especially toward the minimizing
of the evil effects of the boll wee
vil. The following brief summary
of hints conveyed in the recent
bulletin published by the New
Orleans Item:
1. Destroy weevil in the fall by
burning all rubbish and material
in and about the field which might
serve to shelter the weevil through
the winter.
2. Plow the soil as deep as con
ditions will permit.
3. Dig or harrow thoroughly be
fore planting. Tillage the manure.
4. Shallow winter cultivation if
no cover crop is used.
5 Delay planting till soil and
temperature are warm enough to
make it safe.
0. Plant the early maturing
varieties.
7. Leave more space between
rows and a greater distance be
tween plants in a row than is
usually allowed.
8. Use the section harrow be
fore and after planting on the
young cotton
9. Intensive shallow cultivation.
10. Agitate the stalks by means
of a brush attached to the culti
vator
11. Pick up and burn all the
squares that fall under weevil con
ditions, especially during the first
30 or 40 days of infection.
12 Control the growth of the
plant, if excessive, by deep and
close cnltivaiton.
13. Select the seed.
14. Rotate the crops and use
legumes.

Senator Terrell wants Govern
ment Aid
junior Terrell, of Georgia, "ill
champion a bill and use his best
efforts to secure favoiiabie action
upon a bill to enable the Federal
government to co-operate with
the states in encouraging instruct
ion in agriculture and mechanic
arts and home economics. The
measure is one of the most wide
spread interest and importance. It
contemplates the expenditure of
from ten to twenty million dollars
a year by the government and a
'ike amount by the various states,
to train the boys und girls of th**
country to be useful, productive
and happy citizens.
In writing of the matter, John
Corrigan, Washington correspond
ent of the Atlanta Constitution,
says:
“The bill contemplates the cre
ating of agricultural and mechan
ical brunches in common schools,
the secondary or high schools,
state colleges, and normal schools.
It provides for the establishment
of agricultural experiment stations
in connecttion with district agri
cultural schools such as Georgia
has established. In some cases the
allotment of money is to be made
on the basis of the total popula
tion of a state as shown bv tlm
1910 censua. In others, it is based
on the farming population in each
state.
“The object of the bill and the
educational advantages which it
contemplates, is to iocreast the
corn yield of Georgia and other
states from 16 to 00 bushels per
acre ; 10 make two bales of cotton
grow where only one-third of u
bale now grows; to stimulate ex
periments in agriculture and en
able the boys and girls of the
United States to be the best train
ed. most efficient and most capa
ble ai d successful of anv in the
whole world.”
Farmers Needed.
The trend of population is from
the country to the large cities and
the consequence is that farm pro
ducts are rising in value all of the
time. In a few years this country
will have to import their feed
stuffs if the farmer boys bout quit
moving to town
The high prices, good roads and
other things are beginning to make
farm life more attractive which
may cause the farmer boys of the
future to remain on the farm.
It looks to us that, if we get our
wastelands in the country culti
vated that we must bring tin-*
European farmers here to till the
soil. Our people want to live in
town, even the well to do farmer
as soon as In* becomes indepen
dent wants to move to the city
and after he and his family get, a
taste of city life, they rarely ever
move back to the farm.
There are thousands and thous
ands of unoccupied acres of good
farm lands in Georgia; enough to
support, and give employmene to
more than two million more peo
ple than we now have.
We believe that if the next legi
slature should provide a substan
tial sum for advertising Georgia
resources that these waste places
could lie filled with thrifty farm
ers from the Middle West and
from Europe. The state’s wealth
would be increased to a manifold
extent by such a move.—Ex.
Brantley for Senator.
The news comes from Washing
ton, in fact from Mr. Brantley
himself, who has been in Georgia
for the past few days to the effect
that he will enter the race for the
United States Senate. The genial
congressman from the Eleventh
district has had the matter under
consideration for some time, and
stated to friends in Savannah this
week that he had made up his
mind to enter the race.
It is understood that Mr. Brant
ley had rather make the race be
fore the people, but will make ir
m the event the choice is left- to
the legislature.
BrantLy is without doubt the
strongest factor in the race in the
1 vent G vernor-elect Hoke Smith
'oeg not make the race; in a race
I wet,ween Brantley and Smith with
all other candidates eliminated,
there is no telling what the result
would be; with Smith out of it,
we believe Brantley would be hard
to beat.—Statesboro News.
