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, March I; Dodge.
