COTTON FAW
TO GET FREE SEED
State Board Has Several Re
sistant Varieties to Distrib
ute Among Planters.
, The Georgie state board of entomol
ogy has on hand for free distribution
among state farmers several varieties
of cotton seed, perfected from select
strains to resist wilt and black root.
The new varieties are expected to in
crease the yield of the cotton crop.
By applying to the state board or to
Assistant Entomologist A. C. Lewis, of
, Atlanta, farmers may obtain seed for
; planting free, except for freight or ex
■ press charges. *
A large amount of seed of the Mo
della and Dixie resistant strains is
available. Also, there is on hand a
large quantity of iron and brabham
cowpeas for free distribution. These
are resistant to the nematode worm.
In another year the department will
distribute seed of the early maturing
, resistant strain, which is the most im
, portant perfected by Assistant Ento-
I mologlst Lewis since he took charge of
J the work on cotton diseases in 1905.
GEORGE WREN BACK
OF OWN ACCORD TO
ASK FOR NEW TRIAL
George Wren, convicted of complicity
in the $50,000 diamond trunk robbery
’ and under bond, whose validity was in
doubt, returned voluntarily to Atlanta
today from Birmingham, appearing be
fore Judge Price Edwards, of the supe
rior court, to present his plea for a new
trial.
Following his conviction. Wren was
released under a supersedeas bond of
So.OOO, which, it developed, was not au
thorized by Judge Edwards. When he
went to Birmingham, doubt as to his
voluntary return was expressed, which,
however, was dissipated at his return
this morning.
Judge Edwards, hearing evidence in
tlie case, announced that his decision
would be rendered within a few days.
Meanwhile, Wren is out on bail, legal
this time. In event of the refusal of a
new trial, Wren's attorneys will appeal
his case to the supreme court.

YORK. Dec. 31. Erratic cables
resulted in the cottun market here open
ing barely steady, with near positions 1
to points higher and distant months 4
JV 6 Points lower than last nfght's close.
I Hiding at the outset was very light.
Ihe principal buyers were leading spot
interests, while the selling came chiefly
from commission houses and the ring
crowd. Mitchell bought January freely, i
causing some buying in distant months.
4 c . n<i minutes, prices had
recidod l to 8 points from the opening.
After the call the market was steady ,
at the decline, with prices a few points i
over the earl\ decline.
The markets seems to be strictly of a ;
holiday character, with the public gener
ally waiting the next ginra'is* report.
Suine of the most conservative traders are
inclined to think the market will go some
lower, as the spots are usually quiet dur
ing the first part of January.
Ihe market during the late forenoon
was of a dull character, with a narrow
range in prices. The ring crowd turned
buyers after the call, covering some of
their short lines over the holiday tomor
row. I’hls buying, coupled with contin
ued aggressiveness of the spot people and
unfavorable reports of the Balkan situa
tion. were stimulating factors, resulting
in a general wave ( f short covering by a
number of outsiders, prices regained the
larger portion of the early decline and
during the afternoon session the bull L ad
ers rendered their support, sustaining iheS
present value < f cotton. It was said that
the bull interests were supporting the
market until business became active in
tho new year.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices practically tuochanged from
Mondays dose, Wbing unchanged to 1
point up to 1 point lower.
