WIDELY IN GEORGIA
Half ci State Covered—First
vng Frost Will Put Stop to His
havag-is—Tir.vsly Suggestions.
Already the boll weevil has spread
over more territory in Georgia this
year than it did -the whole of last
year, and the migratory period does
not end until the first killing frost,
about November 1.
State Entomologist Lee Worsham
-says the weevil began moving on
August 15, and constantly since that
time has maintained more than an
average progress, until it has advanc
ed more than in any other single se„
son, total, since it first entered Geor
gia. The average in all the territory
covered by the pest has been an ad¬
vance of fifty miles a seasom and in
Georgia it has movet> already omre
than fifty miles.
The progress has been slow, Mr.
Wo- ham says, .in North Georgia and

KEEP OFF THE
RAILROAD TRACKS
Atlanta, Sept. 26.—Death overtook
174 persons, while walking on tracks,
swinging trains, or otherwise tres
passing on the property of t h e
Southern the
ended June 30.
Despite all warnings of its danger,
the practice of trespassing on rail
road property seems on the increase.
f> o-r the three previous years the
number of trespassers killed on the
Southern was as follows: 1913-135;
1914-126; 1915-146, making with 1916
a total of 601 lives sacrificed to care
lessness. ~
Statistics show that the great ma
jority of railroad trespassers killed
are useful citizens. Wage earners,
using the tracks while walking to
and from their work, furnish a large
proportion, while fully a third are
school boys, kiled while “hopping”
trains.
