State Hit by Boll Weevil.
In view of the presence of the Mex
ican cotton boll weevil in some forty
Georgia counties widespread interest
is already manifested in the question
of seed varieties for planting purposes
this spring, particularly In the infested
section. Numerous questions upon this
line are reaching the office of the State
Board of Entomology daily.
The department haB been conducting
constant and careful tests, Bays State
Entomologist E. L. Worsham, and
while it cannot yet specify the most
adaptable seed for each particular lo
cality, it iB able to speak as to those
varieties which it has tested, and to
state in what particular section they
will thrive best.
Already there are 13,400 square miles
of cotton-growing area in Georgia in
fested by the weevil. ThiB is approxi
mately ono-fourth of the cotton-grow
ing area of the State. It is impossible
for anyone to predict at this time what
the weevil is going to do, or how far it
is going to Bpread this year. The diffi
culty growB out of the lateness of the
laBt cotton season and the unusual
abundance of weevils in most of the
infested area.
The chances are that the weevil will
be very serious this year in at least 35
to 40 counties.
Under these circumstances it is high
ly important that every farmer in a
county where the boll weevil haB been
found should proceed upon the idea
that it will be a very serious problem
in 1B1C, and arrange his farming opera
tions accordingly.
The moBt advisable planB to follow
include the reduction in cotton acreage
to from eight to twelve acres to the
plow; the land should be prepared early
and put in good condition for planting;
it should be fertilized just as if the boll
weevil were not present, remembering
that the use of acid phosphate haB a
tendency to make cotton fruit early.
Most imporant of all, says the De
partment of Entomology, is selection of
the very best seed that can be found
adapted to the particular section where
it is to be planted. Fancy varieties
should be generally avoided, and plant
ers should as nearly as possiblo use
the seed grown close to home. Once a
good variety Ib found, improve it by
careful selection.
One thing to be remembered is that
there iB no such thing as a "boll weevil-
proof" cotton. Here are the main
points os to selection;
1. You must have a variety that
will fruit early. It should put on a
large number of bolls very quickly.
2. If your land Ib subject to wilt or
black root you should by all means get
a variety resistant to this disease.
8. The variety chosen should be pro
lific and yield a high percentage of
good lint. It should have few' unpro
ductive branches, and should begin to
put out fruit branches cIobb to the
ground.
It has been found that such varieties
as King’s, Simpkin’s, Triumph and
some others often have a tendency to
discontiuno growth early In the season;
and for thiB reason will not be as valu
able in the infested territory bb varie
ties that fruit early and continue their
growth. Tests made by the Georgia
Department of Entomology show that
some of the best varieties for South
Georgia are such types as Lewis 63, a
variety propagated by this department.
It is wilt-resistant, early fruiting, pro
lific and fairly resistant to drought
The same qualities, including a superior
staple, arc found in Dix-Aflfi, a hybrid
between the Dixie Bnd Egyptian Mit
Afifl. ThiB is worth several cents i
pound more than ordinary short cotton.
Covington-Toele, which has been se
lected so as to make it wilt-resiBtant, is
another good variety. The department
has found that such varieties aB Im
proved Cleveland Big Boll, Cook’s Itn
proved, Toole and Express will be well
adapted to moBt sections of North
Georgia.
Planting should take place just early

Has Used Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for 20 Years.
‘Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has
been used in my household for the past
twenty years. 1 began giving it to my
children when they were small. As a
quick relief for croup, whooping cough,
and ordinary coldB, it has no equal. Be
ing free from opium and other harmful
drugs, I never felt afraid to give it to
the children. I have recommended it
to a large number of friends and neigh
bors, who have used it and speak highly
of it," writes Mrs. Mary Minke,
Shortsville, N. Y. Obtainabl
where.
'Now, ladies and gentlemen,” said
the conjurer, pointing to the magic
cabinet, "I beg to call your attention
to the great illusion of the evening. I
will ask any lady in the audience to en
ter the cabinet. I will then close the
door; when I open It again the lady will
have disappeared, leaving no trace.”
In the second row of the audience a
puny, undersized man with haunted,
harassed expression, says Grit, turned,
with a Btrange gleam of hope in his
dull, mild eyes, to an enormous female
who sat next to him. She bad a strong,
stern face, with black, beetling brows,
and a chin like the ram of a first-
clasB battleship.
“Maria, dear,” he said, eagerly,
‘won’t you oblige the gentleman?”
County Attorney M. Lively, of Dal
las county, was fined $25 a few dayB
ago because the word "striking" waa
spelled "stirking” by the stenographer
who prepared the copy for him. This
is a fair illustration of technicalities in
law. The District Judge may have
gone according to law in assessing the
fine, but it is a ridiculous farce that
should not be permitted in our laws. It
difficult sometimes to amend the
laws bo as to knock out such technali-
ties when there are Beveral criminal
lawyers In the Legislature who don’t
want the technicalities knocked out.—

Cut Your Store
Down One Half
Tens of thousands of farmers ns well as
town and city folks cat down their store
bills one-half last year und saved money
In spite of generally short crops and re
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless famUtcs lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bUls down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and a qual
ity that cannot be bought from your mer
chant or druggist. lb’s full of garden and
farm information. It’s free If you ask

enough so as to miss the late froBts
and cold nights. Shallow, but frequent,
cultivation is Important—once a week
if possible—until the cotton is ready to
pick.
Emerging early in the spring, the
weevil will feed on tender cotton buds
until the squares develop. Black leaf
or bud indicates the weevil’s presence;
watch this and pick the weevils off.
Squares that are attacked turn yellow
and fall to the ground. Yellow squares
and those on the ground Bhould be
picked and burned regularly until about
July 10.
Finally, and as assuring agricultural
salvation against the weevil, the prac
tice of diversification is all-important.
Farmers should grow more food crops,
more live stock, and yet be careful not
to undertake any wholly new proposi
tion on a large scale until sure of a
market. The important thing is to
make the farm self-sustaining.
A party of strangers were visiting at
the college. It wbb in the late fall,
and the air was crisp and cold. One of
the members of the party, a charming
young woman, was escorted through
the grounds by a learned but very
much preoccupied professor. Suddenly
two members of the track team, ac
coutered for their sport, passed them.
"It’s dreadfully cold.” remarked the
young woman, with a dainty shiver, as
Bhe gazed after the runners, "to be
without stockings.”
The professor's mind, deep in con
templation of the fourth dimension,
was attracted by the sound of the girl’s
voice.
“Then why,” he asked absently,
"did you leave them off?”—Youth’s

Employed on a big farm down in the
country was a party named Jim Brown.
Among the duties that fell to the lot of
Jim was the working of a pair of mules.
As a matter of fact no other man on
the place could successfully do it.
"Boss,” slowly remarked Jim, ap
proaching his employer one morning,
“1 thought I’d tell ye that I attended
the revival down in the grove laBt
night and got converted.”
"Ye don’t mean it!” was the dismay
ed rejoinder of Uncle Josh. “I’m kind
o’ sorry to hear that, Jim.”
"Sorry!” exclaimed the surprised
Jim. "I thought ye’d just be tickled
to death, boss.”
“So I am, Jim,” responded Uncle
JoBh. “So I am in a way, but who in
the deuce is goin’ to drive that team o’
mules?”
