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.

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. j 11.
