Department of Entomology Has Suc cessfully Grown Resistant Kind. Atlanta, Ga.—Resistant varieties of cotton, which will throw off the dread diseases of black root and anthrac nose, so prevalent in this state, have been successfully grown in Georgia this year, and it now seems only a question of time before these two menaces to the cotton crop will be entirely eradicated. & ‘Professor A. C. Lewis/of ‘the state department of entomology, in charge of cotton culture, has spent some time in South Georgia, picking the cotton which has stood the tests, with a view to securing the seed for more wide spread dissemination mext season. In two-score of the most afflicted points in South Georgia, the resistant varie ties were planted by him this spring, and this fall the splendid results are shown by a good stand and multiplic ity of well-developed bolls devoid of any disease, The seed from this cot ton will be brought to Atlanta and from this point distributed to infected sections of the state in small quanti ties next spring, so that these resis ant varieties may be grown and there after generally used. It is recalled that at the recent session of the legislature SIO,OOO was appropriated for the purpose of fight ing the black root, which is costing Georgia hundreds of thousands of dol lars anmually, Since the various counties have been organized to be gin a crusade against these diseases, and the use of these resistant varie ties will be one of the methods used. Not only does black root and an thracnose destroy the cotton line, but also the cotton seed itself, a most valuable part of the cotton crop, now, each year. There are several humn dred cotton oil mills in this state that consume all the cotton seed mar keed and, in addition, to giving the planter a good price for his cotton seed, furnish him in return cotton seed meal, the best and cheapest cat tle feed to be had; cotton seed oil, which, in a compound, is rapidly sup planting hog lard, and, in its refined state, a condiment for his table that cannot be surpassed, The success of these resistant vari eties of cotton seed will be watched with interest, GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS. Georgia farmers are keenly interest ed in the amount of tare, that is to say, bagging and ties, which may rightfully be placed about a bale of cotton' in preparing it for the market and for transpertation, The question has been aroused hy the announce ment from practically all the leading cotton merchants in the state to the effect that if a bale of cotton has more than . twelve pounds of bagging and twenty pounds of ties, 50 cents will be deducted from the total ppice paid for the bale, Draping the leaders of the “Lest Cause,” with the tattered flags under which they once fought, and sounding again the old war toceins that they had learned on many battlefields, two thousand veterans of the Georgia division of the United Confederate veterans, passed In review before the ‘people of Athens In the eleventh an nual reunion of the division.

GA., ®CTOBER 7. 1909, COTTGN GONDITION 38.: yily e Government Makes Unfavorahle Réport on Cotton Crop. LOWEST REPORT IN YE Degpartment of Agriculiure Gives as hy - Cause of Shortage the Excessive | Rains Followed by Drought. Washington, D. C.—Financial ang weathier conditions combined produés ed the mcst untavorable report trom the department of agriculture on the condition of the cotton crop that :;,_'; been made this season for many years. The ofiicial report indicates that on September 25 the condition of the cotton crop was 58.5 per cenl of normal, as compared with 63.7 pel cont on August 25, 1909; 69.7 on Sep’ tember 25, 1908; 67.7 on Septempef 25, 1907, and 67 per cent on the avs erage for ten years on September 25 1909, gt o After the announcement by the dé partment of agriculture of the figures tecording the average for this month Dr. A. 8. Knapp, chief of the“"fiQ:é"f ative demaqnstration work for the dés partment of agriculture in the south) after the conterence with Secretary Wilson, said that the serious falling off in the figures, especially for Louiss iana and M:ississippi, was due to tyed conditions — one was the excessivel rainfall in the early part of the cotton crop season, followed by a serious drought, and the second was the fi , ure of cotton planters to obtain ad. vances on their crops from bankers. The latter reason forced the plan Lers to dismiss a considerable part of 't 18ir labor at a time when the boll weevil was a most serious pest. ARI Dr. Knapp stated that another resay son which induced a falling off in the general average of Louisiana was that there was practically 30 per cent less of acreage in‘cotton than in previous years, o AHE ‘the boll weevil did serieus damage during the past year in the southwest ern quarter of Mississippi. A o “In my judgment,” said Dr. Kuap‘f; “the really serious trouble, which ap plies to all the cotton -states,"_,wg% brought about by the excessive rain fall in the early part of the season and the excessive drought in the lat: ter part. In some of the cm, ers scarc&y could obtain water enough for their lwo\g&ofi,; B Wil particularly true of Texas and Ok homa. What is known as the Néw Orleans storm which passed _up through portions of Louisiana &nd western Mississippi, blew out ‘im mense quantities of cotton and sery ed seriously to detract from thej'x cellence of the crep.” i Secretary Wilson declined to make any statement regarding the figures given out by his department. He said that he would talk about the wheat crop, about the condition of cattle in the west and about almost anything but cotten. He said that Dr, Kdapp knew more about the cotton ‘crop, from practical observance of ca&di tions in the sotuh than any ofHer man in the department, and he had nothing to add to the statement made by him. !
