Unusual Spread of the Boll Wee
vil.
Washington, D. C., Oct, 15. — Under
normal conditions the boll weevil ad
vances into new territory at the rate
of about 50 miles each year, but during
a period of only two weeks during the
present season there was an advance
of about too miles. This movement
carried the insect into Georgia for the
first time, and 25 counties in that State
bccitme infested. Some counties in
Florida have been infested for several
years, but 8 additional ones became in.
feated by the same movement. Twen
ty additional counties in Alabama were
also invaded. All of thiH spread took
place between the 15th and 31st of
August.
There were several conditions, ac
cording to the entomologists of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, which contributed to this unusual
dispersion. One of them was the
drought in Alabama and Mississippi,
which caused the plant to reuse fruiting
and deprived the weevils of the squares
upon which they prefer to feed. The
more important condition, however,
wns a series of very high winds which
begun on August 15 and blew continu
ously for several days toward the north
east. The weevils were thus carried
much further than they would have gone
by natural Mights or even by the aid of
•ordinary winds.
The department has placed all avail
able forces at work to assist the far
mers in the territory that has just »e-
•come infested. Most of the cotton is
now open and this will allow an unusu
ally early picking, so that the fall breeds
of the weevil can he destroyed by up
rooting and burying the plants or burn
ing them, where necctesary. The depart
ment strongly urges the burying of the
plants wherever this can be done prompt
ly. as the humus thereby placed in the
soil is of very great importance. The
State agencies are co-operating with
the agent of IheU. S. Department, and a
very active elTorl will be made to re
duce the number of weevils to the ex
tent that will allow an approximately
normal crop to lie produced next season.
Another feature of the boll weevil
problem which is attracting consider
able attention is the dumage that is
being done in Texas this season. There
is a more or less general impression in
the eastern part of the cotton belt that
the boll weevil has died out in the
State of Texas, but tlu* investigations
of the department show that the abun
dance of the insert in that region de
pends on climatic conditions. During
the present season these conditions
have been extremely favorable, with
the result that the insect has been as
abundant as at any time since it invaded
the State. The lesson to be drawn
from this fact is that the planters in
the eastern part of the cotton belt
must mnko a strenuous light, and should
realize that since the boll weevil has
not died out either in Texas or Mexico,
it is not at all likely to do so in any
other region that may become invaded.
They should adjust their system of
farming to boll weevil conditions with
out delay.
"Mamma," said small Dorothy, who
was giving a dinner party to some of
her little playmates, "shall we say
grace?”
"No, dear,” replied the mother. "It
will tie an informal alfair, so you can
omit it. ”
l.ater Dorothy explained to her guests
that as it was an "infernal" dinner they
would "cut out the grace."

No kidney ill should be neglected.
There is possible danger ,n delay.
If you have backache or urinary trou

it was sore and lame. The least bit of
work or any stooping caused me to suf

Can Raise Cotton Despite Boll
Weevil.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. Is It istheshort
crop that is really responsible for the
good price of cotton, according to the
State Department of Agriculture. Cot
ton is responding to the iaw of supply
and demand.
"It is the fact we have produced less
that is making cotton go up, in spite of
the European war," said Commissioner
,J. D. Price. "The boll weevil is going
to reduce the crop to some extent, but
if the farmers of Georgia will raise
their home supplies, and make less cot
ton, they will not only be able to get
just as much money from their cotton
crop, but will be independent. It is
the grain, hay and food crops that are
going to make us rich. We have al
ready made a good start in this direc
tion, and it is time to think about
planting winter grain now. Those who
did thia last year came out on top. You
can come out ahead by doing it this
year. The boll weevil is going to hurt
some, but we can make a good cotton
crop in spite of the boll weevil. Other
weevil infested States have done it,
and we can do it too. The boll weevil
reached Alabama in 1909; yet in 1911
Alabama made the biggest cotton crop
in all her history—1,095,284 bales. In
191;’ Alabama made 1,483,(569 bales.
Mississippi is doing almost the same
thing. The boll weevil got there about
1905, and, while Mississippi’s record
crop was made in 1901, she has since
gone nearly up to the record, making
1,620,425 bales in 190S, and 1,217,8.83
bales in 1914. It is only necessary to
listen to good advice—the advice of ex
perts—and follow it. Farmers in the
boll weevil States who have done this

Palpitation of Heart, Dizzy, Nervous,

story. Georgia can do, and will do.
just what these other States have done,

should do. the boll weevil won’t hurt us
seriously.”
It is the good price of cotton seed
that has saved the Georgia farmer this
year.
“I was in South Georgia the other
day,” said Commissioner I’rice, “and
farmers in the section around States
boro told me they had picked out all
their cotton, and had no more. After
finishing the harvest they told me they
had made about 45 per cent, of an
average crop. It was there 1 learned
that it was the good price of cotton and
of cotton seed, which they have been
selling at $40 a ton, that has saved the
farmer this fall. Without this, they
told me, they didn’t know what they
would have done. But as it was,
everything has turned out well so far,
and with plenty of gram planted this
fall, and not too much cotton in the
spring, another year should see the
Georgia farmer set well upon his feet.”
Chronic Constipation.
“About two years ago when I began
using Chamberlain’s Tablets I had been
suffering for some time with stomach
trouble and chronic constipation. My
condition improved rapidly through the
use of these tablets. Since taking four

been tine,” writes Mtb. John Newton,

Boll Weevil Dispersion.
Washington, D. C., Oct. lfi.—The U.
S. Bureau of Entomology advises that
the planters throughout the supposedly
infested section begin immediately to
pick their cotton and destroy the plants.
By destroying the plants the develop
ing weevils will be killed. Two meth
ods of destruction are available. If the
plants can be plowed under to 1 or 5
inches this is a moat desirable method
of procedure; otherwise they should be
stacked in windrows 3nd burned as
soon as dry.
After destroying the plants prepara
tions should be made for a winter cover
crop, and for a rotation of crops next
year.
The weevil has maintained its posi
tion in Arkansas, and has probably ex
tended its area a little farther north in
the western portions. The entire State
of Mississippi is infested, and the wee
vil is now known to.be in McNair and
Hardin counties. Tenn. Tennessee
planters along the entire southern bor
der should take the same precautions
that have been recommended to Okla
homa planters.
Probably only four or five counties in
the mountainous sections of northeast
ern Alabama will escape infestation by
the boll weevil this year. Over thirty
counties in Western Georgia are already
known to be infested, and there is no
doubt but that five more will be record
ed soon. Planters in Georgia and Ala
bama. whether in infested counties or
not, should take immediate measures to
destroy the cotton stalks, and prepare
the fields for winter cover crops.
What a fine world this would be it' we
all loved our neighbors as we try to
love ourselves!
Two Children Had Croup.
The two children of J W. Nix. mer
chant, Cleveland, Ga.. had croup last
winter. One was a boy of 6, the other
a girl of 8 years. Mr. Nix writes: "Both
got so choked up they could hardly
breathe and couldn't talk. I gave them
Foley’s Honey and Tar and nothing else
and it entirely cured them. ” This re
liable medicine should be in every home,
for it gives immediate relief from colds,
coughs and croup, heals raw. inflamed
throats and loosens phlegm. J F. Lee

Many soldiers at the front have com
mented on the fact that the birds do not
desert the region of the fighting line,
despite the noise of the firing. But it
is stranger still that the birds have
ranged themselves on the side of the
allies against one method of German
warfare. A soldier on short leave
from the trenches tells how the
winged friends of the allies warn them
of the coming of clouds of poison gas
when the Germans attempt that mode
of attack at night time.
In daylight the approach of the dead
ly cloud is easily detected. It is visi
ble to the eyes of the watchers in the
trenches, and there is time to take pre
cautions against its effects. But in the
darkness of the night the comingof the
gas is unseen. Then it is that the
birds come to the help of the soldiers.
Long before the smell of the fumes
can bq detected in the trenches there
is a great clamoring of birds, awakened
from their night perches. The birds
fly away beyond the reach of the fumes,
but in the meantime the British soldier
is prepared.
If a man is afraid to say it himself,
he nearly always asks ihe newspaper to
do it for him.
