No Hiibjoct of more importance to the
people of Georgia whh touched upon at
the late meeting of the State Chamber
of Commerce in Macon than that of the
coming invnHion of the boll weevil, and
many helpful auggeBtiona were brought
out in the diacuBBion. A moat interest
ing and instructive talk was madu by
Dr. Hradfnrd Knapp, special agent of
the V. S. Bureau of Plant Industry in
charge of farm demonstration work
throughout the country, who came from
Washington to address the meeting.
Speaking of the boll weevil peat and
how to light it, Dr. Knapp said -
"I hope you Georgians will profit by
what has gone before, take the examples
'Unless you start on the right lines,”
said Mr. Worsham, "you will not get
satisfactory results. The selection of
your varieties of cotton cuts an im
portant. figure. Some varieties are re-
sistnnt to the weevil, while others
should not ho planted. The weevil,
from such experiments as we have
made, will prove particularly destruct ive
in southwest counties, and those coun
ties should work hardest to prepare for
his coming ”
He said the hoys’ corn dubs are doing
a great work, but that Georgia could
never get away from cotton as her
main money crop. The girls’ canning
clubs, the pig clubs and other agencies
also have done a great deal to educate
Georgians along lines of diversification.
"What we need more than anything
is men's cotton clubs, conducted along
sensible lines,” said the entomologist.
“They should get all.information possi
ble on the subject, und then apply it.”
? the
set by the other States where tlv
weevil has been, and mix brains with
muscle. Kartn demonstration work and
the boll weevil are the two most vit. 1
issues before the country to-day; yet tin
boll weevil will prove a pest only to the
community that is not ready for it. The
remedy is mixing bruin with soil, and a
good bit of elbow grease. The returns
from the soil will be in proportion to
the amount of intelligence with which
»abor is applied.”
Dr. Knapp answered two questions,
on which he declared the situation
hinges:
First. How is the farmer to meet
the boll weevil?
Second. What can the business in
terests of Georgia do to meet the pest?
In answering the first question, Dr.
Knspp cited statistics showing that mil
lions of dollars are being sent out annu
ally for mules, corn, feeds tuffs, canned
goods, und other articles, all of which
could he produced in Georgia.
"The first thing to do when the boll
weevil comes is to cut down the advan
ces you have been asking from your
merchant ami banker, and grow whnt
you need at home,” he said. “Increase
your acreage of feedatuffs, and decrease
your cotton acreage. The boll weevil
first lays eggs in the banker's vault
and in the merchant's safe; panic fol
lows among the people not prepared,
and disaster is inevitable, if there is no
organized effort to meet it.”
He told how the boll weevil hiber
nates in the winter season; how they
live from sixty to seventy days-, how
they feed on the cottonSquares, and on
cotton alone. I’oisons have been used,
Dr. Knapp explained, to kill the boll
weevjf, put have been found unsatis
factory and expensive. He advised
picking up the squares as soon as they
have been punctured and fall otf, and
that they be burned. Speaking of burn
ing the stalks in the fall, he advised
that they be plowed under instead of
burnt, as the humus is needed in the
soil.
"We hear about early planting and
late planting." said Dr. Knapp. "The
only satisfactory method is to plant
when the cotton will grow best, and
that is to be judged from community
conditions. K »rly developing seed should
be chosen. The theory of late planting
is a fHlse doctrine."
He declared that some people blame
the boll weevil for everything, from
unseasonable weather to legislative
matter^; He styled the boll weevil
"our friend," and declared that after
the weevil visits a State the farmers
are forced to observe certain funda
mentals in farming, which finally re
sult in a more independent community.
In answering the second question of
what can be done to check the advance
of the weevil. Dr. Knapp declared
nothing could be done by talking alone.
Conference* and meetings will accom
plish nothing. The only effective meat s
is to have a demonstrator go to the
farmers in person and have them fol
low the tested methods. "From a
small beginning in HHM." he said.
Nearly all county executive commit
tees over the State thnt. have taken ac
tion up to date have ordered early pri
maries for the nomination of county
officers, to-wit: Grady, Feb. 25; Tift,

The critical illness of U. S. Senttor
A. O. Bacon at Washington for the
past ton days is causing his friends a
good deal of anxiety. Although some
what encouraging reports are given out
by his physicians, his advanced age and
the serious nature of his malady render
his recovery doubtful. He is suffering
from an acute kidney trouble.
