Augusta, Georgia.—«I have taken
' Golden Medical Discovery ’ with very
satisfactory results for a cough and

vating nature, disturbed me day and
night, and had more or less 'influ
ence on the heart. I coughed hard,
inoessently, and raised a great quantity
of thick and stringy sputum. My
friends concluded that I had consump
tion, as my cough was so harsh and so
persistent. The medicine surely gave
me decided relief. It is an old ''stand

never wavered.”—Mu. 0. T. Hair,

Boll Weevil In Georgia;
Remedies To Be Employed
Atlanta, Os., September.- The Mexicnu cotton holt weevil is here. It tins
been found by officials of the state department of entomology anil the
l nlted States hoard of entomology in Decatur, Ormiy, Thomas, Lee, Dough
erty, Terrell, Brooks and Mitchell counties, and is, undoubtedly, at the
present time, in eighteen or twenty southwest Georgia counties.
1 he boll weevil was expected in (ieorgia this year, but came considerably
earlier, and its spread hits been far more rapid, than was anticipated. Where
its average rate of travel lias been fifty miles annually, it has now moved
at least 100 miles from southeast Alabama, due to favorable weuther and
crop condition*.
While the weevil is here, there is no cause for grave alarm. Georgia is in
far better position to cope with it, State Entomologist 1C. Lee Worsham
points out, than any other Infested state has been.
"It is not necessary to discontinue the growing of cotton on account of
the appearance of the boll weevil," the department states. "Georgia has
had the advantage of the experience of other states, and if we malic use
of that advantage, collon can he grown at a profit. We should by all means
practice cotton diversification, at least to the extent of growing home sup
plies; and if we then follow already well established principles In dealing
with (tie weevil, we can continue to make a good cotton crop at a fair
profit."
Recent Weevil History
Tlie boll weevil appeared in Georgia, tlie department states, between
August :;;t and August 31, and females began to deposit eggs on squares
and young bolls. Under present weather conditions the life cycle ts com
pleted within 12 to 17 days. This means that, adult weevils will appear
within a few days io attack other squares and bolls and to move further
eastward.
It is difficult to estimate how much territory will be covered before frost.
The only damage that can be done except on late cotton, is to the top crop
which is small and almost negligible this year.,
When the cotton plant is killed by frost, the weevils go Into winter quar
ters under trash about the fields, in seed houses, in the woods and especially
in Spanish moss. Most of ilie weevils die from various causes during the
winter, and only a small percentage of them reappear in the spring. They
come out of winter quarters as soon as the weather begins to get warm,
and are ready at once to attack the new crop.
But before the weevils are abundant enough to destroy the entire crop,
those surviving the winter have to give rise to new broods. In south
Georgia It will be about August 15, 1915, based on known history of the in
sect, before they will be abundant enough to destroy the squares as rapidly
as they appear.
Remedies For The Weevil
There is no one remedy for the weevil (hat works successfully. The very
best plan known is for the farmers to pick their cotton as early as possible,
and then destroy the stalks eilher by burning or deep plowing, thus de
stroying also the weevils while they are still at work on the squares and
bolls, and before they have a chance to leave the cotton fields.
Another important factor is the early planting of early maturing varieties.
Farmers in boll weevil territory should plant varieties that will produce a
crop by August 1 to August 16. It should be well fertilized and cultivated
rapidly. Farmers should reduce I heir cotton acreage and plant the very
best varieties of seed obtainable.
The state department of entomology has produced two varieties that are
comparatively early maturing and resistant to wilt disease. This seed
should be planted wherever wilt or black root occurs. Limited quantities
of this seed will be supplied lo farmers in boll weevil territory for next
season's planting. _
Seed Selection Important
One of the principal troubles is that cotton growers generally have paid
too little attention to seed selection. It is not yet too late for Georgia
farmers to select their seed for next season from the best stalk—those which
produce well and mature early.
This department will be glad to gin the seed selected from Individual
stalks for any farmer sending them in, free of cost.. It will estimate the
percentage of lint and return both seed and lint to the grower. If this plan
is followed, the seed from each stalk should be placed in individual sacks
and labeled. By following carefully this plan of selection, it is not at all
difficult to double the ordinary yield, remembering always that, what is wanted
is a stalk that will both yield a big crop and mature early.
Attention is called to the fact that it is strictly against the Georgia law
for any person to have live boll weevils in his possession, and to transfer
them from one point to another. Several cases have come to the attention
of the department in which parties have carried them from one county to
another, in order to exhibit them to friends. The department gives warning
that the law will be strictly enforced, and' prosecutions will follow violation,
in order to prevent, as far as possible, the spread of the pest..
Department Anxious To Aid
The department of entomology is anxious to do everything in its power
to aid the farmers of Georgia in growing cotton in spite of the boll weevil
This department has the active co-operation of Dr. W. D. Hunter of the
United States Bureau of Entomology and members of his force, including
Dr. W. D. Pierce of Washington and George D. Smith, stationed at Thomas-
ville. This cooperation means much to Georgia at this time because of the
wide experience these men have had in boll weevil work in TexaH, Louisiana
and Mississippi.
Officials of the state department of entomology, including State Entomolo
gists E. Lee Worsham anil Assistants C. S. Spooner and W. V. Ileed, will
be constantly on the job to define the limits of the weevil and to assist the
farmers in every possible way.
The important, the imperative thing for Ihe farmers of Georgia to do is
to familiarize themselves with the remedies anil to apply them, it is im
perative that all cotton stalks be destroyed before frost; that early maturing
varieties be planted as early as possible, and. where black root or wilt oc
curs, the farmers should call upon the department to assist them by sup
plying them with wilt resistant seed.
Delicate Hint.
Fred, four years old, and his moth
er were visiting a friend. Invariably
when they came the hostess would
hare some cake and coffee for them.
This time'she did not make anything.
Fred, after waiting some time, became
impatient and anxious. Wishing to
remind her as delicately as possible,
he said ns lie went into the other
room: "I'll play the piano. Call mo
when the octree's ready."
Various Companionships.
If one's intimate In love or friend
ship cannot, or does not, simile all
one's intellectual tastes or pursuits,
thnt is a small matter. Intellectual
companions can be found easily In
men and hooks. After all, If we
think of it. most of the world's loves
and friendships have been between
people that could not read nor spell.
—Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Attacked in Front and Rear.
A youngster of our acquaintance
who has a faculty for getting into
scrapes recently expressed the wish
thnt he was a postage stamp. When
asked why. he answered: "Because a
postage stamp can only be licked
once." Whereupon we pointed out that
the stamp received, besides the lick
ing, b severe punch in the face.
Charity.
Organized or unorganized, all ehtir-
lty is good if it helps the deserving,
and In the general proposition prompt
giving is more desirable than profes
sional machinery. All the lime and
effort wasted in criticism might well
be used with larger comfort to those
who need food and clothes.
The Important Question.
It will not be fashionable to steal
umbrellas the coming season, says an
expert on fashions—or on umbrella
stealing, one forgets which. But will
It be fashionable to return some of
those stolen last, season? '

is generally understood that he will be
a candidate for re-election.
