J. P. SHACKELFORD,
City Clerk
Atlanta, Ga.—(S|x>clal.) —Weather
conditions have been peculiarly for-
tunato for southwest Georgia farmers
tha past two seasons, In that they
have been such as to cause the Mexi
can lmll weevil In southeastern Ala
bama to recede Instead of advance.
While the weevil has advanced at
about bis average rate In northern
Alabama, and right up to the Ten
nessee lino, State Entomologist bl.
I.ee Worsham calls atteutiou to tUe
fact that the cold weather of the win
ters of 191314, as well as the long
dry spell of the summer of 1914,
and the, fact that a heavy top
crop last year furnished plentiful
food, have had the effect of retard
ing his progress fu southeastern Ala
bama, whereas, If weather conditions
had boon right the weevil would long
since have been in Georgia cotton
Acids.
I-alest Investigations show, says
Mr. Worsham, that the weevil is now
two miles from the Karly county,
Georgia, line In Henry county, Ala-
bama, and Is also close to the Georgia
line in Jackson county, Alabama. It
Is certain that the boll weevil will
soon reuch Georgia, but the particu
lar time at which (t wilt come will
depend, as heretofore, upon weather
and food conditions,
"This weather retarding process
has been fortunate not only tor south
west Georgia, hut for the entire
state,’' Bntomologtst Worsham said,
"because It has materially delayed
the spreading of the weevil over the
entire state. This has gtven Georgia
farmers the very opportunity they
needed to prepare to meet the condi
tions with which they wllll have to
contend when the weevil gets into
their fields.
Good Preparation Made
"This preparation has already been
largely made in the counties of south,
western Georgia, where coLton breed
ers’ clubs have been organized by the
department among the farmers for
tile purpose of developing varieties
that will meet Georgia conditions.
To do this it has been necessary to
develop early maturing varieties that
are wilt-resistant, since early matur
ing cottons heretofore have always
been more or loss susceptible to
black root or wilt disease.
Tlie department’s variety tests
have, in a large measure, succeeded
in overcoming tills difliculty and
through its experiments there are
now available the seed of some va
rieties which are both early maturing
to meet boil weevil conditions and
show adequate resistance to the wilt
disease. The department recom
mends diversification and (lie plant
ing of more food crops as a first es
sential element In meeting boll wee
vil conditions. The next, and it is
equally important, is the planting of
demonstrated early maturing varieties
that are will-resistant Proper cultl
vation inducing rapid growth is im
portant.
To Get a Better Yield.
Tlie important tiling for the Geor
gia farmer is to grow better cotton.
It 13 up to the farmer to improve the
staple and to make the plant yield
more and more so that ho will have
moro land than ever before to devote
to food products. It is possible to
cut the Georgia cotton acreage in
half, and yet get the same yield.
This department has succeeded in
inducing many growers to pay more
attention to seed selection for resist
ance to disease such as will, and an-
thracnose, as well as selection for im
provement of the plant generally.
The most important point, as already
indicated, is to get an early maturing
variety to meet boll weevil conditions
that will at the same time resist dis
ease; and the next point in view is
to increase tile percentage of lint to
the stalk and the yield per acre.
Though following the plans Indicated
by the department some of these
Georgia growers have been able al
ready to produce anywhere from one
to three bales per acre on lands upon
which they formerly produced half
a bale or less; and in some Instances
through tlie cultivation of tlie upland
long staple variety, they have sold
their product at 3 to 5 cents per
pound more than the ordinary upladd
cotton brings.
The question of the best variety

which should be perpetuated in order
to perfect It. The growors are urg
etl to make thotr selections from in
dividual stalks, whtrh produce the
best results. Tito department gins
this cotton for them and estimates
the percentage of Hilt as well as es
tablishing the grade, so that they
will know whether or not those par
ticular varieties are worth propagat
ing. The seed from each stalk Is
planted in a separate row and this Is
Improved by selection each yoar.
Right Varieties Found,
"One of the greatest accomplish
metits In connection with this work
lias been the development of early
maturing varitles which are resist
ant to wilt and other diseases and
will In a large measure evade the ut-
tneks of the boll weevil,
“The department has on hand 1,000
or more bushels of this early matur
ing wilt resistant Boed developed as
the result of its tests, which will bo
distributed for this spring’s planting
to the farmers In the bonier line
counties of southwest Georgia. This
seed will be distributed as far as it
will go In small quantities, amt the
department will secure » new and, it
Is hoped, a larger supply for distri
bution for the spring of 19111,
"The department Is preparing a
bulletin presenting the principal fea
tures of the results obtained from
these tests in different sections of
the state. Duo notico of its publica
tion will be given and copies will bo
furnished to nil who apply for It.
"Any cotton grower in Georgia can
take advantage of this work which
the department of entomology is do
ing without cost to himself whatso
ever. The department will be glad
to co-operate with him in his seed
selection tests made from, season, to
season.
“Willie it Is too late now for send
seleeton for 1915 planting, it is- well
always to boar in mind the important
points in ibis connection. Every farra-
er should seiect his seed from, the 2-ycar subscription
stalks which mature earliest, which J 1
have the most cotton and, which have
a tendency to resist disoaeP, and. cot
ton chosen for seed should be ginned
separately and, where possible, by. a
hand-gin. in selecting for resistance
to black root or wilt, or Cor runt
knot or anthracnoso, choice should lie-
made from the strongest, hardiest
plants, In that part of the Held where
tha cotton generally suffered most,
but always from plants that fruit well
and upon which the cotton Is well dis
tributed. Tlie use of the hand gin
does away witli danger of adulteration
with weak or diseased seed.
Georgia In Good Shape
"BaBed upon the work fills depart
ment lias done for several years piisl
in preparing for the coming of the
boll weevfl, W. D. Hunter, agent of
the United Stales bureau of entomol
ogy, in charge.of crop insect inves
tigation In the South, lias made the
statement that Georgia is in better
condition today to meet the coming
of the weevil than any cotton state
has been at any time. Notwithstand
ing this It is tlie purpose of the de
partment to push the work with all
possible vigor, and to the full extent
of the limited resources at its com
mand, so that when the critical time
arrives, tlie least possible damage
shall bo done.
“Dr. Hunter has recently given I his
department an interesting statement
relative to the present, boll weevil sit
uation, showing that the boll weevil
Is sure to reacli Georgia soon and
further, that there is no possibility
of stopping It even by eliminating
entirely tlie production of cotton for
a year.
The Upland Long; Staple
“Another valuable achievement for
tlie Georgia farmer is the develop
ment of the long stuple upland cot
ton known as ‘Dixaftfl.’ This cotton
has a staple almost as long as the
famous sea island cotton and will
grow well on uplands. It brings from
t • ree to five cents a pound more than
tlie ordnary short staple cotton.
"It will not be long before the Unit
ed States government will he com
pelled to declare a quarantine against
i lie importation of foreign cotton to
prevent tlie Introduction into this
country of the pink boll worm which,
If it once got a foothold here, would
he more destructive than the boll wee
vil. Already plans are being made
In Washington, as Is shown from As
sociated Press dispatches, to restrict
rhe importation of Egyptian and oth
er foreign cottons to the Northern
states. When tills is done it is going
to create an extraordinary demand for
the home grown long staple varieties.

der to get this assistance the contestants must let their
friends know they want it. If you want the “golden apple”
you must go to the garden to get it; nobody ss going to
bring the garden to you.
CASH IN PROMISES NOW.
Not one contestant in the race but what has promises
by the score. This is the time to “cash in” these promises.
Get around to the people who have promised you and get
them to “come across” right now, when it means so much
to you. Opportunity Time is your time of all times to
boost your “batting average.”
