BLACKROOT RESISTING COTTON.
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, 80 prevalent im this state, have
been successfully grown in Georgia
this year, and it now seems only a
question of time before these (wo
menaces to the cotton crop will be
entirely eradicated.
Professor A. C. Lewis of the siate
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 next season, In
two-score of the most affiicted 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
gession of the lcislature SIO,OOO was
appropriated for the purpose of fight
ing the black root, which is costing
Georgia hundreds of thousaunds of dol
lars annually, Since the various
eounties have been organized to be
gin a crusade against these discases,
and the use of these resistant varie
ties will be one of the methods used.
. Not only dees black root and an
thracnose destroy the cotton line, but
also the cotton seed itself, a most
valuable part of the coiton crop, now,
each year. There are several hun
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 colton
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 bis 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 intereste
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 transportation., The question
has been aroused by the announce
ment from practically all the leading
colton 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 price paid
for the bale.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT?
That the doctrine of home rule has
ever been a principle dear to the
hearts of our southern people, and
the patronizing of home institutions
is simply the application of this prin
ciple to our daily and individual ne
cessities,
Never before in the history of the
south has southern people so exten
sively bought, sold and traded in all
lines among its home people. For
illustration, take a single instance:
Not many years ago, the farmer tock
his cotton to town and sold it. That
cotton was shipped north, made into
products by northern and eastern
mills and sent back for that same
farmer to buy. Now he takes his cot
ton to town and sells it, in a great
many instances, to a cotton mill in
his home town. It is converted into
manufactured product within a few
miles of where the cotton itself was
produced.
Not alone in cotton, but in many
other lines, hundreds of products
bought and used by southern people
are manufactured in the south,
This means developing the different
sections of the south in the expendi
ture of momney for the building of
these manufacturing plants and in
the expenditure of money in the em
ployment of labor. Kvery dollar spent
in this way is benefigial to you be
cause it enriches and develops your
home section.
The same article applies identicaily
to life insurance.
The Empire Life Insvrance Compa
py is a purely mutual, cld line, legal
reserve, southern institution, with its
Home Office -in Atlanta, Georgia. Its
funds are received in the way of pre
mium payments from the people of
the south. Its funds go back to the
people of the south in the way of pol
icy loans, payment of death claims
and policy dividends.
Its reserve funds are invested in
bonds of southern states and southern
towns and cities:; also, in first mors
gages on farms and other town prop
erty of southern people. All of which
means the using of southern money
for the development and enriching of
Ithis southern countiry and southern
institutions.
Therefore, when you can get jusi
as good, if not better, policy in just
as good a company Dby taking your
lite insurance in the Empire Life, ask
yourself to patronize a home company
rather than to send your premium
i payments off five hundred or a thou
sand miles away to some easiern or
’ northern company. :
l The Empire Life is safe and sound
and conservative in its management.
It pays its claims promptly. Then
give us your business.
