NEAR STATE LIE
Entomologist Expects to Quaran
tine Three Counties Against
the Rest of Georgia.
“We will have to quarantine throe
counties in Georgia for boll weevil
againMt the n-st of the State before
the end of the present season, we
are afraid.” said E. L. Worsham,
Htate Entomologist, at the Capitol
Saturday.
According to Dr. Worsham the boll
weevil, which has been making such
groat ravages on the cotton crop in
Alabama is within 30 miles of the
Georgia line and the department ex
pects the boll weevil to invade three
counties in Georgia before the first
frost.
The legislature, which has just
adjourned, placed in the hands of the
State Entomologist the question of
quarantining. The Entomologist
lifted the quarantine against cotton
lint and cotton seed hulls, which it
has been proven do not transmit the
boll weevil, but he will enforce a
strict quarantine against seed cot
ton and cotton seed from all infected
points.
Members of the Cotton Seed Crush
er^ Association of Georgia are co
operating in every way possible to
aid the Department of Entomology
and the farmers to keep the boll wee
vil out of the State.
