The new cotton pest, state agricul ture department officials stated, has been found in Arizona, first in the wild cotton in the higher altitudes, later invading cotton fields in the valleys and spreading its area of de struction until the state of Arizona has found it necessary to create non cotton sections, destroying growing cotton crops where the weevil was found and paying the farmers for the crop's thus destroyed. This work, it \\‘as stated, has caused discontent and some planters have gone into'the courts in an effort to make the state pay more than it offaresJ.for the cot ton destroyed, The Arizona pest is said to be a hardier type than the boll weevil of he - :southefjA states, and therefore more difficult to kill. West Texas cotton fields, reports state, now are threatened by it end Texas agricul tural expert* have hastened into that region to help fight off the invasion. Perhaps the western cotton enemy will be checked before it can destroy southern, cotton crops, but the out look thus far is not encouraging, ac cording to J. J. Brown, Georgia com missioner of agriculture. “Probably the only safe plan for he cotton grower will be to do more diversifying and net depend too much in the cotton crop,” said Commission er Brown.

Factories 'Sought for Georgia. To secure for Georgia its maximum development in the dawning indus trial awakening of the south is the aim of the Georgia Industrial Bu reau, according to announcement made by F. H. McDonald, managing editor, who is now pushing the work of communication with large Indus trial interest*, outside the state. “Securing for Georgia the invest ment from outside the state of new capita] in the form of manufacturing plants involves a definite course of procedure,” said Mr. McDonald. “It is recognized that a haphazard share of such investment would be less than is justified by the advantages and resources available in Georgia- Great new factors are influencing a distant trend into the southeast of many lines of industry, notably cot ton manufacture. Established enter prises in more fully developed and older industrial regions are alert to the trend and are locating south eastern branches or are organizing new concerns in the state. “The Georgia Industrial Bureau is observing large organizations of this character, particularly in textile lines. Friendly and confident com those that are large enough to be in terested. They are being advised of the bureau’s ability and desire to aid in analysis of their requirements as to raw material, labor, transporta tion, power, water ar,d other things, as well as in the application to those needs of the possibilities offered by the available sites in Georgia, in or der that they can choose intelligently a location insuring minimum operat ing and distributing costs.” Mr. McDonald pointed to the fact that three main features guide the work of the bureau. These are: first, to secure in Geygia the investment of capital from outside the st*se; second, to develope the manufacture or processing of Georgia products now overlooked or partially pro cessed; third, to develop for greater profit the industries already estab lished within the state. The bureau, it was stated, is a non-profit state wide organization. LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1924. GASOLINE TAX OF HALF CENT Atlanta. Ga.—A house bill provid ing for an additional state tax of orte-half cent per gallon on gasoline was favorably reported by the house committee on public'highways at a meeting held Tuesday afternoon. Authors of the measure, which is a substitute for house bill No. 902, explained that, although the slate is not getting this half cent, the gaso line consumer is payng A, the mon ey “going into the pockets of gaso line companies.” The Georgia tax at present totals 3Vi cents per gallon and, owing to the mposeibility of making change for a half cent oil distributors sim ply add four 'cents to* the price to cover taxes, it was pointed out. Un der the proposed bill the state would take the full four cent tax, which is claimed, ; would not raise 'the price to the consumer at all. . ■ . ■ . • - - .>■«> ’The bill was introduced by Rep resentatives Harris, of Jefferson, and Jones, of Floyd, and both au thors spojje for it. In addition to providing for the additional half cent tax, the bill pro vides the extra monev collected shall go to the state highway department the one cent portion of the tax now going to retire the W. & A. rentals shall likewise go to the high way department after the necessary $540,000 per annum to meet this debt is paid in. Inasmuch as a one cent tax brings in approximately $1,000,000 annually, this would give the state department $460,000 ad ditional funds. ZIONS HILL.

Harris reached Lawrenceville last Wednesday with Tom James, arrested at San Antonio, Tex., wanted in connection with the daring hold up and robbery of the Bank of Suwanee in January, 1921. The prisoner gave the officer no trouble and readily consented to come back and take his medicine. He claims that he was drunk at the time of the robbery and gave this as the only excuse for his downfall. Mr. Harris went armed with a re quisition from Governor Clifford Walker on the governor of Texas, but it was not necessary to get the same honored after reaching the Lone Star State, as the prisoner consented to return. Tom James, who was sailing under the alias of Luther Willis, had enlist ed in the United States army at Fort Worth, Tex., and had bepn soldiering for a year and a half. Carroll Williams and Mark Hagood Were tried in Gwnnett superior court in connection with the robbery and given three and two years respective ly after conviction’. With credit sos good behavior both have finished serving their sentences and are now freemen. The daring holdup was one of the most spectacular ever staged in this section. After binding Cashier Dcwis and securing the money the bandits fled in an auto, which was tracked irr the* snow across the Chat tahoochee river into Forsyth county. After the men had crossed the bridge they tore up part of the flooring in order to prevent pursuit and capture. The capture of Tom James brings in the last one accused of taking part in this bold transaction, and he will doubtless be tried at the August ad journed term of court and soon know his fate.

The manufacture of paper from cotton and cotton linters has been tested out and has proved practic able, the advices received here state. A paper manufacturing concern in Chattanooga, Tenn., is now making a fine grade of bond and book papers from cotton and has demonstrated that cotton answers the purpose as well as rags and obviates the neces sity for using wood pulp in the kind of paper made. Some years ago, it was stated to day, experiments were made in mak ing paper from cotton stalks and it was predicted that the fibre of the stalks would .answer for the purpose and giv.e, commercial value to that part of the cotton plant which, is Counted waste. The stalk experi ments, Atlanta publishers state, do not appear to have proved success ful, but the use of cotton and linters fn the making of the better grade of pdper is a success and it creates a new field for the south's great staple that may add greatly to its selling value. “From the viewpoint of the cotton grower, each new use found for cot ton is further insurance of the per manency of the industry, of the greater stability of the market and of the certainty of adequate demand to absorb all production,” said J. J. Brown, Georgia’s commissioner of agriculture, commenting on the re ports received by the Atlanta pub lishers. The rapidity with which the supply of wood pulp is being used up, the growing scarcity of the timber from which the pulp is obtancd, and the constantly increasing use of and de mand for paper has caused the man ufacturers of paper much concern and a world-wide search has been un der way for additional sources of timber supply. Atlanta publishers assert that the successful use of cotton in paper making will be a wonderful thing for the south and for the southern far mer. As they point out, it, Will add greatly to the industrial growth of the south by causing paper mills to be erected and operated near the source of cotton supply and will give an added value to cotton and a double assurance that the great southern staple always will have a market and always will be in demand at a good price.
