SYNOPSIS OF WEATHER AND
CROP CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA j
WEEK ENDING AUGUST 14th
Atlanta, Ga., August 15th, 1923.
Excepting too-frequent showers over
some dozen central-northern counties,
the past week, on the whole, was very
favorable in Georgia on aecount of the
moderate or nearly normal tempera
tures, light rainfall, and adequate sun
shine. Crops generally injiroved some
what, and farm work made good prog
ress. Cotton, however, continued to
deteriorate in much of the southern
division and made poor growth in the
few counties where there was too much
rain, but generally was reported to
have Improved moderately over much
of the state. Its general condition, how
ever, remains very poor; shedding is
considerable, and where the boll weev
ils are most active blooming is over,
and weevi s are attacking the bolls.
Weevil damage is very seriops over
most or southern an,j western Georgia,
iess so over the eastern districts. Pick
ing cotton is now under way over much
of the southern and western divisions
of Georgia; less so over the eastern
districts. Late corn has improved con
siderably, and the crop is forming ears
well. Fodder pulling is general. Curing
tobacco is well advanced, with excel
len results. Truck crops are rather
poor and scarce; planting fall gardens
continues. Pastures are fair to poor.
Some good hay was saved. Pea-vine
hay is doing well. Cane, peanuts, and
rice show some improvements. Grapes
and pears are ripening. Apples are ra
ther poro.

GLAND SURGERY TO MAKE
SHEEP GROW LONGER WuOL
University Professor Expects
Experiments to Succeed.
Philadelphia.—lt may he possible to
obtain sheep with wool half a yard
long by means of gland transplanta
tion, according to Dr. William J. Lentz,
professor (ft anatomy in the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania veterinary
school.
‘‘Of course it's too early to judge
whether such result*; can be obtained
by means of gland transplanting in
sheep.” Doctor I.cntz said: ‘‘Gland
surgery, however, is just in its infan
cy and it is not possible to predict
what wonderful tilings may be accom
plished.
“Heretofore desirable lengths of
wool have been attained only by
breeding. The method is slow and
•sheep raisers would welcome any new
method to obtain a better product."
The promise of long-wool sheep was
made recently by Dr. Serge Voronoff,
the "monkey gland” surgeon, who has
been conducting a series of new ex
perirnents in glandular transplanting.
He has requested the central wool
committee of France to give him 75
to demonstrate the truth of
his theory.
Doctor Voronoff says he will trans
plant the essential glands from 25 of
the sheep to the remaining 50. The
wool of the latter group will grow
longer, he said. When these repro
duce, their descendants also will have
longer wool, he believes.
