What Uncle Sam Is Doing to
Fight Boll Weevil in Georgia
Corn Clubs, Girls’ Clubs, Farm Demonstrating Agents
and Other Educative Agencies, Operating Through
Agricultural College, Are Used—Will Take Agents
to Boll Weevil Territory to Study Insects.
CHARLES A. WHITTLE.
Uncle Sam is preparing to meet the
approach of the boll weevil in Georgia
with all the force and wisdom at his
command. The funds which have
been allotted to Georgia for this pur
pose are to be supplemented thin year
by an addition of about $15,000. bring
ing the allowance up to $50,000, this
increase being contingent upon proper
co-operation of State authorities.
This means (1) more money for
boys’ corn Clubs and girls’ canning
club*; (2) more money for farm dem
onstration agents’ wbrk; (3) more
dissemination of information among
the farmers concerning what to do
when the weevil arrives.
The big sum of money which Is an
nually spent in corn clubs, farm dem
onstration work, etc., in the South by
the Bureau of Agriculture was voted
b^ Congress to meet boll weevil con
ditions.
The Best Safeguard.
The biggest thing to do in meeting
the boll weevil is to diversify crops.
Of course, it is not necessary to await
the coming of the. weevil before teach
ing farmers how to grow other crops
than cotton. So Federal authorities
co-operating with State authorities
have been quite busy and quite suc
cessful in the State of Georgia during
tht past few years teaching Georgians
how to grow crops that the boll weevil
, can not live upon and how to grow
them successfully The corn clubs,
the girls' clubs, the co-operative dem
onstration work with farmers, under

the direction of farm demonstration
agents, has Deen the work of one hand
of the Bureau of Agriculture, while
the other has been engaged In study
ing the weevil, combatting It and in
every way trying to check it on the
ground which the weevil has claimed.
The Southern States have attempt
ed very little on their own initiative,
electing rather to co-operate with the
Government forces that had been in
the fight from the beginning of tiie
Invasion of the enemy, depending
rather upon the accumulated results
of the Government rather than to
initiate separately a new campaign
and perhaps undertake work which
one force could do better than two
operating to pome extent in conflict.
Corn Clubs Arc Anti-Weevil Clubs.
The boll weevil can find no food in
a corn field. If it can get no cotton it
dies. The Federal authorities rightly
considered that the South could best
be Induced to grow corn than any
other anti-weevil crop. How to en
courage the growing of corn and how
to grow it in a way that would en
courage its widest and quickest use.
was a problem which the Government
faced and solved In the very best way
that anybody could have conceived.
The solution is the corn club. Get the
boys to raising corn, vielng with each
other; lead them to adopt modern
scientific methods of soil preparation,
seed selection and plant cultivation.
Reach the boys through the schools.
It was a great constructive genius
who brought the boys' corn club into
realization—the Hon. Seaman Knapp.
It is his son, the Hon. Bradford
Knapp, that the South knows as its
inspiring leader in corn clubs and co
operative farm demonstration work.
In corn clubs Georgia has a “big
stick” for meeting the weevil. No
State in the South has had better suc
cess in organizing corn clubs. No
where has there been greater progress
in corn raising, especially in getting a
grp&ti r a mount of corii from the acre
The organizing and operation of the
corn clubs and the girls’ clubs has
been conducted in co-operation with
the Georgia State College of Agri
culture at Athens. The college is
headquarters and directing center so
far as Georgia work is concerned,
while, of course, the general head
quarters of all the corn club work
which the Government is doing in
the South is at Washington.
Co-operative Work With Farmers.
Nothing has accomplished more for
preparing the farmers of Georgia for
boll weevil conditions, and, for that
matter, for more successful farming,
than that which Uncle Sam is doing
in close co-operation with the farm
ers themselves through farm
demonstration agents. Briefly de
scribed, the farm demonstration
agent is a disciple of modern farming
vsith information to carry' to the far
mer about how he can diversify his
crops and what he must do to get
the best results.
More than 60 counties in Georgia
have obtained farm demonstration
agents and many others are asking

for them and planning to have them.
Remarkable results have been ob
tained from some of the counties
where the farm demonstration agents
have been at work longest. Counties
that formerly bought from the West
much of what they fed to themselves
and their cattle have now' diverted
tlie outgo to an inside circulation.
Dealers in food-stuffs have made
statements in some of these counties
that they have ceased buying in the
West and the only feed-stuffs which
they are now handling at all are
bought from home-growers. No won
der the farm demonstration work has
taken such strong hold of Georgia
farmers!
Work Center* in College.
The farm demonstration work also
centers at the State College, of Ag
riculture, where the State agent is in
c harge, and to which place the agents
go at stated intervals during the
year to study conditions and out
line plans of campaign for the bet
terment of the farmer. All agents
are required to take the agricultural
short course and also to specialize
in given lines in which their respec
tive counties are most interested.
Once the purpose of the farm dem
onstration agent is clearly under
stood there is no difficulty met in
finding all the farmers they can take
care of, to carry on demonstration
work. In agreeing to carry on co
operative demonstration work the
farmer accepts the terms of the
demonstration ugent, prepares his
seed bed according to instructions,
fertilizes according to formulas rec
ommended. cultivates according to
well established modern methods.
Not only does the demonstration
agent teach how to diversify crops,
but urges modern machinery, cattle
raising, silo erection and all econom
ical and successful farm means and
methods.
Bear in mind that this is all being
done with boll weevil money. No
one w r ould say it is not well spent and
spent In a way calculated to help
the farmer to meet boll weevil condi
tions most successfully.
The Educative Side Popular.
All the work which has been men
tioned is supplemented with addi
tional educative methods, such as is
afforded through the medium of farm
ers’ institutes. In those sections of
the *State where the boll weevil will
appear first, of course, the greatest
Interest is being manifested by farm
ers in learning what things they must
do to combat the weevil. Hence it
has been the policy of those direct
ing the co-operative Federal and
State fight against the weevil to
carry information through the me
dium of the farmers’ institutes to
these farmers. More of this will, of
course, be done as the immediate ne
cessity requires.
It is the policy of the Bureau of
Agriculture at Washington to -co-op
erate with the educative branches of
the various States to reach the farm
er with boll weevil information, espe
cially with information as to what
the farmer must do. The research
work is carried on by the bureau on
its own account and not in co-opera
tion with educational institutions.
Hence the entire educative work
that has been done and is planned
for, has been organized into and in
co-operation with the State colleges
of agriculture in the respective States.
Some Educative Work.
In Georgia some educative work has
been done by the State Entomologist
Mr. Worsham, who has conducted
some institutes in southwestern Geor
gia. His particular work has been
studying blackroot or wilt, but in
working on that line he found what
he claims Is a variety that resists
blackroot and wilt, and being an
early maturing variety is therefore
weU adapted to boll weevil conditions.
Hence the State Entomologist has
entered to some extent into the boll
weevil problem in Georgia.
The Director of the Georgia Ex
periment Station, Prof. R. J. H. De-
Loach, while developing a strain of
cotton that is resistant to athrae-
nose. another disastrous disease of
cotton, not only developed a variety
that is highly resistant to the dis
ease. but by reason of its early ma
turing and physical characteristics is
rec ommended by him as suitable to
boll weevil conditions. This work
Professor DeLoach did through sev
eral years of experiments at the State
College of Agriculture.

GEORGIA ESTATES
GOTO DEVELOPERS
Colonial Tracts in South Georgia
and Alabama Being Cut Up.
Increased Population Seen.
Land developers are gradually
forcing their way into the South and
following the rising tide of immigra
tion in that section. Trainloads of
the better class of immigrants and
native Americans looking for better
agrarian oportunities are frequently
passing through Atlanta, settling on
farms, and subdivisionists who have
located thousands of these people
elsewhere are preparing piaces for
them in the South.
The movement is marked in such
States as Georgia and Alabama. In
Georgia some of the thousand-acre
plantations that have remained intact
sinc e the War are being broken up
and sold off in 10 to 50 acre tracts.
This is particularly true of South
Georgia, where the land is exceed
ingly fertile. Atlanta is the center
of most of these transactions.
In Alabama the movement is also
active.
A movement is now on foot which
is expected to result in the cutting up
into small farms or building plots
many of the large estates in the black
belt section of Alabama. All this
country is held in large tracts as in
ante-bellum days and very often by
the families who had owned the land
since Colonial days.
Old Spirit Passing.
The customs of the South prevent
ed the development of the suburbs of
its leading cities into small residen
tial colonies. The proud spirit of the
Southern families stood in the path
of the land developer. To ask a fam
ily to sell their land would be equal
to Insult in many cases. The South
has lived on since the Civil War in
every way to preserve and resurrect
time-honored customs.
Big estates near Birmingharri may
he taken as sites for country homes
for shopkeepers, merchants and oth
er city workers. Several of the most
influential men in Alabama are be
hind the movement, so it is claimed.
Joseph C. Thompson, one of the lar
gest landowners in Alabama and one
of the State’s most successful farm
ers, is one of the men who advocate
the division of the black belt, one of
the most fertile stretches in the
world.
Developers Are Coming.
What small farm^ th^re are in
Alabama are now being operated by
negroes. Whites would be preferred.
Many white farmers from the North
and Northwest, having heard the
change that has come in the attitude
of the Southerners to Northern farm
ers. have settled in the black belt.
The next step will be the invasion
of the professional land developers.
New York has received much of their
attention in the last ten years and
many have continued in these parts
because it was the most fertile field
for the back to the country movement.
Now that the South is taking down
the barriers many developers will he
found in the South in the next few
years.
Atlanta Rivals Big Cities in Apartment Houses

Shelverton Nearly Finished at Cost of $67,000
Characteristic of the Shelverton apartments is the great frontage, 192 feet, which probably establishes a local record. Miss
Henrietta C. Dozier is the architect who drew the plans for the structure. The Shelverton is located on East Eleventh street,
overlooking Piedmont Park.
Money Transactions
Steadily Gaining;
Swaps Growing Few
Real estate trades in which money
figures as the main consideration are
gradually picking up, lendirfg strength
to the general belief that there is
more money and that the realty business
will soon be as active as it was a few
weeks hack.
One thing that gives encouragement
to dealers is the declining number of
transactions in the nature of swaps.
Three weeks ago hardly a trade was
made that something wasn't thrown in
as part payment, and comparatively lit
tle cash figured.
For the past fortnight, however, there
have been numerous straightout. bona-
fide sales, and particularly has this been
true of residence property and vacant
lots. Central and semi-central activity
always depends on the condition of the
money market, and some interesting an
nouncements are expected as soon as
the crop funds begin to circulate.
There is a good deal of cash in deals
that look like opportunities for invest
ors. This has been in evidence not
only in residence buys, but in semi-cen
tral property. Last week a West Peach
tree resident refused 840,000 cash for a
corner, preferring $50,000 on time.

cerning the weevil. As has been
stated, most of the research w’ork

Will Study Weevil at Home
In order that the farm demonstra
tion agents may become familiar with
the weevil, its habits and the best
methods of combating it, the De
partment of Agriculture has planned
to take a number of the agents from
that section of the State first to be
invaded on a trip through Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana, where the
weevil is at work and to those points
where the fight h^s been waged most
successfully through proper co-op
eration of agents and farmers
At the head of this party will be
Hon. Bradford Knapp, Phil Campbell,
State agent of Georgia, will, of
course, be in direct charge of the
Georgia agents, while others will ac
company the weevil "scouting party”
Among these will be the State Agri
cultural Commissioner, Mr Price, and
his assistant, Mr. Hughes, the State
entomologist. Mr. Worsham.
If the boll weevil does not meet a
stubborn resistance when he flings
his line of battle across the Georgia
border, it will be no fault of Geor
gia's. Georgia has responded to the
call to corn clubs, to girls’ clubs, to
co-operative farm demonstration
work, to every appeal which has
seemed material to the defense of the
cotton farms.
Of course the ignorant tenant who
never knows is going to be the covert
of the weevil, but enough of the in

they will preach the gospel They have
been taught, can ^uike formidable

Campaign of Allied Real Estate
Interests To Be Carried on
Until Final Passage.
Chamber of Commerce Figures Show
Structures, Large and Small—Average
Approximately Twelve a Year.
133
The cafnpaign of the Allied Real
Estate Interests throughout the coun
try against certain provisions in the
income tax bill before Congress has
borne fruit, and will be continued
with a view of making sure that the
bill as finally passed does not weigh
heavily upon owners of real estate.
Following an expression of protest
from members of the Atlanta Real
Estate Board, Senator Hoke Smith
took up the fight in Washington and
assured the local board that some of
the alleged wrongs in the bill would
be righted.
Edward F. Clark, former president
of the Guardian Trust Company and
a member of the law committee of
the Allied Real Estate Interests, was
delegated by the association to lay
before the various committees of the
Senate and the House of Representa
tives the serious effect that such pro
visions would have upon real estate
owners and asking that real estate in
terests be placed on a par with other
property owners in the operation of
the law.
Campaign Well Organized.
At the same time the Allied Real
Estate Interests started its campaign
in every State of the Union and got
in touch with all the prominent real
estate owners, brokers and real estate
organizations, requesting them to lay
the matter before their respective
Representatives in Congress.
The reports that have been received
show that this has been done and
that there are few Senators and Rep
resentatives who have not had laid
before them the injustice whi~h was
aimed at real estate owners in the
way the bill was originally drawn.
Chang© Tax Status.
The provision for deducting taxes
at the source has been materially
changed. As It now stands, the only
provision for deducting at the source
income taxes on rents relates to rents
payable to non-corporate owners by
tenants holding what is known as a
"net lease”—that is, a tenant paying
in addition to rent the taxes and
assessments, making repairs, etc.
No tax is to be deducted and paid
at the source upon rents payable to
a corporation, the corporation being
required to report and pay taxes di
rect.
The second ground of criticism re
lated to deductions from gross in
come allowed in arriving at net In
come. Real estate owners objected
to the provision permitting a cor
poration to deduct from its gross in
come only a part of tne interest actu
ally paid out by them during the
year on their mortgages. The justice
of this criticism has been recognized
by the Senate Finance Committee.
The completion of such apartments
as the Ponce DeLeon, the Shelverton,
the Maryland, the Lawrence, the
L’Engle, the Connerat, the WeTner,
the Euclid, the Wright, the Selig, and
half a dozen others gives Atlanta a
total of 142 apartments of all kinds,
and a total of ’93 of the larger and
more Important kind.
A canvass by the managers of the
city directory showed that there -were
84 apartments of the larger type, and
an estimate of the Chamber of Com
merce places the number of apart
ments, small and large, at 133.
Shelverton Nearly Complete.
Foremost among the new apart
ments is of course the Ponce DeLeon,
and then comes the Shelverton at 126-
138 East Eleventh street, overlooking
Piedmont Park, with some unique fea
tures. Characteristic of the apartment
which C. Shelverton, the owner, is
building gnd has nearly completed is
the great frontage which it occupies.
The building is 192 feet by 65 1-2
feet, covering probably as much
ground space as any similar struc
ture in the city—12,676 square feet.
There are three stories and the build
ing Is of brick. Day work is being
used and the cost is to be $67,000.
Another Interesting Feature.
There is another interesting feature
about the Shelverton. It lies in the
fact that its architect is a woman—
none other than Miss Henrietta O.
Dozier, who draws clever sketches
for dwellings and other structures in
her quarters in the Peters Building.
Miss Dozier has shown in this piece
of work that even in busy Atlanta,
w'here men are trampling each other
down in the struggle for commercial
supremacy, there is still room for a
woman who has ideas and can put
them on paper.
The habit of building apartment
houses in Atlanta is a comparatively
new one. Practically all the apart
ments have gone up since 1900. In
fact, it may be said that the past
decade has seen practically all of
them erected. Now Atlanta builds a
dozen good ones a year and the de
mand for them, both for the individ
ual apartments and as speculative
ventures, continues unusually steady.
Architects Very Busy.
Other apartments are keeping the
Shelverton Company in the race for
early completion. The fall is "mov
ing time” as well as th.- season for
people to return home from vacations,
and the apartment houses will con
tinue to do a good business.
Atlanta architects usually welcome
an opportunity to draw plans for an
apartment house on account of the
original Ideas that may be brought
into play. For instance, disappearing
wall beds. They have become popu
lar in the small apartments because
they save a good deal of space. Then
there are open court effects at front
and back, and arrangements making
each room outside, with plenty of
light and air. The latter feature finds
much favor with apartment house
dwellers.
ANDREWS' COUNTRY PLACE
FOR GOVERNOR’S MANSION
Part of the country estate of Colonel Walter P. Andrews, midway
between Buekhead and Peachtree creek on Peachtree road, has been
suggested as a suitable site for the new Governor’s mansion, provided
the State Legislature decides to sell or otherwise dispose of the pres
ent site at the southwest corner of Peachtree and Cain streets.
Colonel Andrews has about fifteen acres and 1.500 feet of frontage on
Peachtree road and Andrews avenue, and the proposition is to set off
the elevated point of his lot, with some 300 feet frontage, for the
mansion, and reserve the balance for the use of Colonel Andrews.
“It is true that I have been approached by a leading real
estate agency on this matter," declared Colonel Andrew's. “I told them
that ordinarily my land was not for sale, but that if the legislators
wanted part of it for the mansion, I would place it at their disposal.
I think this location would make a nice home for the Governor, and
the Capitol could be his office." If the Andrew's lot should meet with
favor, future Governors would have for neighbors such well known
people as Governor John M. Slaton, James R. Gray, Clifford L. An
derson, Morris Brandon, Clark Howell. James L. Dickey, W. H. Kiser,
Robert P. Maddox. J. N. Goddard, Clark McMichael and Mrs. Carries.
L’Engle, who have already built nearby, and John W. Grant, John D. Lit
tle, David Woodward, E. Lee Worsham, and others w ho will build later.

The beauty in this scheme lies
the fact that part of the Plaza pi;
for bridging the W. and A. proper
would be realized; the State, woe
get a handsome new depot, wi

the great West Side would he broug

Furthermore, there would be accor
modation for double car tracks and
further relief of Peachtree conge

Sooner or later, think local devt
opers, an improvement like this w
pass from the “dream stage” into t
realm of reality. Railroads have ma
moves on the West Side that portei
an astonishing amount of substanti
development. The w'hole tenden
seems to be to get aw'ay from t
Union Station and to spread out ov
the vast area to the w'est that h
gone so long undeveloped.
No Danger in Supports.
The depot spoken of above won
rest on concrete pillars and ste
spans, and would not "topple ovei
as a real estate man suggested t
