is the amount of insurance that the Mutual Life Insurance Association of Georgia has written in the last twelve months in the
State of Georgia, more than any company chartered in the State of Georgia ever wrote in the same length of time. Chartered on
the 20th day of August, 1901. Why was this vast amount of insurance sold ? Because it is insurance that suits the people—it is
at a low cost and safe—not cheap insurance, but “insurance cheap”—#6.75 the actual cost per thousand dollars to the policy holders last year, and not a contested claim.

Mr. John A. Darwin, Secretary and Treasurer, Athens, Ga.

Georgia,” I have taken out a policy in it, and consider it the most complete solution of life insurance

is as Bafe and at tho same time lower in cost than any of thorn. Yours very truly,
HOWELL COBB.
Before taking this policy, I made a careful investigation of your company and was most favorably
impressed. In mp opinion your plan is simple, safe and sound, and I know of no comoanv selling
better Insurance for the money. ! v j » K
I congratulate you on your well deserved success. Very truly your,

Wade is much improved.
We learn that Mr. E. L. Grlflln, of
Augusta, is slowly improving.
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Griffin are
•pending Christmas with the latter’s
father In Columbia county.
The entertainment at Mrs. W. J.

hostess, of course every one had a
pleasant time.
Mr. John Byrd, of Augusta, is visit
tog to this community.
Quite a crowd of young people visit
e d Miss Nettie Crawford last Sunday.
Mr. C. G. Woodall made a business
trip to Washington, Friday.

from Augusta.
Atuong the young people of Tatham
who attended the Shank-Ware wedding
were Misses Maggie Griffin, Annie
Woodall and Annio Smith, Messrs.
Percy Woodall and George Paschal.
There will be a great many changes
In Tatham another year. People are
oioying in every direction and “Uncle
Josh” is among the number.
Mr. Jim Crawford,of South Carolina,
has moved his family to Tatham. We
give them a hearty welcome.

Thomson, Ga.
State or Government Entomologist,
stating that said cotton seed haa bofen
TM. insect, a small beetle causing < urn‘gated In ™ch manner as to kill
enormous losses to the cotton Industry: an y ^ o11 Weei » . ^
in Texas, has not yet been officially willch W be contained therein,
reported as occurring east o. Louisi
ana. The probability of Its Introduc
tion Into Georgia, as well as into other
cotton-growing states, Is such that the
Board of Entomology has deemed It
advisable to Include this pest in the
list of dangerous Insects. If the Boll
Weevil had to depend entirely upon its
natural means of spread, i.e., by llight
from Hold to field, It would require
many years for It to reach Georgia
from the Infested area In Texas. Un
fortunately, however, the weevil is of
ten contained In cotton seed from In
fested cotton fields and in such seed
may be transported to any cotton
growing section, there to begin anew
its destructive career. It 1b also fre
quently found in unglnncd cotton. As
it is not likely that any of the latter
is shipped from Texas to points east
of the Mississippi, the danger of in
troducing this pest in cotton seed is
the principal one that confronts our
farmers and cotton planters,
Wlhlle the Boll Weevil is not at
present known to infest more than
about throe-fourths of the cotton-grow
ing area of Texas, yet its spread is
so rapid that within a short time It
will be found In evory county of Tex
as where cotton Is grown. The loss
in Texas, in 1902, due to this pest,
is conservatively estimated at over
386,000 bales or over 68,00,000. (Re
port on the Boil Weevil by
Fred. W. Mally In the annual re
port of the State Entomologist
of Texas, 1902, page 10). This
fact alone is sufficient to warn the
planters agninst taking the risk ot
Introducing tho Boll Weevil into Geor
gia. With a view to postponing the
introduction of the weevil ino Geor
gia as long as possible, we would
strongly discourage the Importation oi
cotton seed (or uuginned cotton), even
in small quantities, from Texas points.
Wo would also urgo that farmers and
planters watch their cotton closely for
the appearance of qny now or unfa
miliar Insect pest, and send to this
office for identification, all such In
sects. By this co-operation we hope
to locate the Boll weevil promptly,
should It become Introduced Into this
state, and can, In such a case, take
immediate stops for at least retarding
its spread.
It la the Intention of thlB Depart
ment to shortly publish a somewhat
extended bulletin upon the Boll Weevil
and other Important cotton Insects.
Any person desiring a copy of same
should write the State Entomologist,
Atlanta, Ga., and as soon as published
the bulleln will be sent all such appli
cants free of charge. ,-
At a meeting of the Georgia State
Board of Entomology, held at the State
Oapltol, Augus 28, 1903, the following
regulation regarding the importation
of cotton seed was adopted. This
regulation has the fores of law auu
is now in effect:
"It shall be unlawful for any firm,
person or corporation to bring Into
the State of Georgia, or to have In
possession, for any purpose, any living
Mexican Boll Weevil or any cotton
bolls, squares, plants, seed containing
the adult, pupal, larval or egg stage
of the Mexican Boll Weevill.
“No cotton seed grown in the states
of Texas or Louisiana, or consigned
from points in those states, shall be
shipped into the State of Georgia
without being accompanied by a cer
tificate signed by a duly authorized
Directions for sending Insects and
plants to the Stats Entomologist:
The State Enomologlst Is at all
times glad to render any assistance
possible In determining the identity
of insects and plant diseases and ad
vising measures for their control.
Do not send insects in envelopes or
pasteboard boxes by mall; they are
inevitably crushed beyond recognition.
Send living Insects In strong wooden
or tin boxeB by mall. No openings
are necessary to admit air. When
ever possible enclose some of the
food-plant for the Insects to subsist
on while enroute; specimens showing
the injury done are desirable. The
name and address of sender should be
on every package. It Is against the
postal regulations to enclose a letter
in a box by mail. Specimens of cat
erpillars, worms, etc., in alcohol • or
other liquid can be sent by mall only
whon In regular mailing tubes. W«
will be greatly aided if correspondents
writing about insect peats -will give as
full a description of the habrtts, food-
plants, Injury and abundance as possi
ble, )
Specimens of twigs, living plants
with foliage, etc., should be wrapped
In damp (not wet) cotton cloth eo
as to reach us In fresh condition.
Fruits showing Injury or disease
should be wrapped well with paper
and packed In a wooden or tin box.
Correspondents can materially aid
the work of this office by com
municating with ua concerning their
success or failure in using the meth
ods advised for controlling injurious
Insects and diseases, giving a careful
detailed account of the methods used
and the results obtained. Such infor
mation will prove of value to all.
