"Ham, why is it that you have no

the colone’ have any in bis room?
“No, sub," replied Bum.

When' Mr, and Mrs. James G. Pot-
■ter appear in our city we will hear
two gifted entertainers who had won
Individual reputations before they en
tered the wedded state. Mrs. Potter,
a talented musician, who sings and
plays instruments, and who is an es
pecially good reader, headed several
quartets of young women before she
met Mr. Potter.
Mr.' Potter, who is an excellent
story-tdller, and who sings well and
plays the piano equally as well, was
a member of one of the best male
quartets in the Lyceum before ho met
THE POTTERS.
Mrs. Potter, After they met they
joined forces, and now It is Tlio Pot-
tors, each doing his and her individual
work and also presenting some con
certed musical numbers and offering
some very humorous two-act playlets.
One of tho favorite features of their
program is the singing of old familiar
songs, like “Ben Bolt,” by Mrs. Potter,
with guitar accompaniment. Another
Is Mr. Potter’s telling of one of Eu
gene Field’s best stories, “The Little
Yaller Baby,” which Is very humorous
in spots and very pathetic In other
places. Everybody will wish to at
tend this entertainment. The variety
will please all.

We give only a few of tho ways a
Lyceum Course helps a town.
The Lyceum develops good taste
arfcT appreciation. T’owns with Ly
ceum Courses learn to enjoy good pic
tures, good music, fine architecture
and high thinking.
The Lyceum raises the sentiment.
In regard to entertainment. Towns
with Lyceum Courses offer a poor
field to street shows, cheap theaters,
etc.
The Lyceum encourages the “city
beautiful.” Towns with Lyceum
Courses are In touch with the newest
efforts towards municipal reform
Tho Lyceum creates scientific senti
ment. Towns with Lyceum Courses
are interested in scientific research
and discoveries. Fellowships in phys
ical science at Harvard, Columbia and
University of Pennsylvania were di
rect results of the scientiiic lectured
of John Tyndall.
The Lyceum brings “our town” Into
touch with the outside world. A Ly
ceum Course helps the stay-at-homes
to become travelers, introduces them
to other corners of the world, other
people and customs.
The Lyceum influences intelligent
voting. A Lyceum Course brings the
leaders of all political parties into
close and intimate touch with the
people.
The Lyceum widens the religious
outlook. A Lyceum Course is non
sectarian and brings the best of all
phases of religious belief to the town;
it tears down the fences of creed be
tween various denominations.
The Lyceum stirs up enthusiasm
among the young men and-women to
get out In the world and do something
worth while. A Lyceum Course brings
to the town men and women of
achievement who inspire by example
and precept.
The Lyceum teaches personal hy
giene. Lyceum people are apostles of
clean living; they teach the way of
the simple life and the efficiency of
right thinking.
Tbe Lyceum sounds tbe call to so-
elal service. Tbe keynote of the Ly
ceum Course Is Brotherhood. •
Ten Important Suggestions Given the
Farmer by the State Board
- of Entomology.
Atlanta, Ga.—The time has* come
when the farniers of Georgia must
select their cotton seed for next year’s
planting; and in view of the many
pests and diseases to which the plant
is now subject, this is no simple or
easy task.
The State Board of Entomology lays
down ten rules or suggestions rela
tive to cotton seed selection which,
if followed carefully by the farmers,
will materially assist them in elimi
nating plant pests and diseases from
their fields.
Generally speaking, the seed should
be selected from the strongest and
hardiest plants, such as are free from
diseases and which have the greatest
percentage of fruit properly located.
More specifically, the selection slioulu
he made, says State Entomologist E.
Lee Worsham, with reference to re
sistance to black root or wilt disease;
resistance to root knot and anthrac-
nose; fruitfulness and earliness; per
centage of lint; type of plant and dis
tribution of fruit on the plant.
In selecting for resistance to black
root or wilt disease the plant should
he chosen from that section of the
field whore the ordinary cotton suffer
ed greatest %unuge. Here, however,
tho selection should ho made of the
hardiest and best developed plants.
Watch Out for Root Knot.
Care should also be taken to se
lect those plants which are resistant
to root knot or nematode worms. The
nematode worm is a parasite on the
roots of plants which causes knots,
commonly known as nematode galls
or root knot. The plant is stunted
and sometimes killed. As the com
mon cowpea Is very susceptible t»
this worm, it is dangerous to follow
such a pea crop with cotton. The wilt
resistant strains are somewhat re
sistant to root knot, and the depart
ment believes by continued selection
of tho most resistant plants, this qual
ity may be greatly improved.
Another thing to be avoided in the
selection of the seed is anthracnose,
a fungus disease of cotton which
causes the bolls to rot and some sea
sons does a great deal of damage, oc
casionally as high as 50 per cent, of
the bolls rotting off. All varieties
of cotton are more or less suscepti
ble to anthracnose. At present the
best way to control this disease is by
rotation of crops and by the use of
resistant varieties through careful
seed selection. A plant badly affect
ed by unthracnose should not be se
lected, even though it is very resist
ant to wilt and is well fruited.
Fruitfulness should be carefully
considered in seed selection, with a
view to increasing the yield per acre.
Where possible, the department advis
es the selection of the most fruitful
stalks by comparison.
Get Early Varletiea.
Earliness is another important point
in selection, especially in Southwest
Georgia, where it will be necessary
next year to meet the invasion of the
cotton boll weevil. Two ways are
suggested of securing an early resist
ant strain. First by crossing the wilt
resistant strain with early varieties,
and second by selecting the earliest
plants from the resistant strains now
at hand. It is believed that the indi
vidual selection of the earliest plants
will be the quickest and best method.
The department advises that no
stulk should be selected which yields
less than 33 1-3 per cent, of lint, In
its own work it discards all stalks
that yield less than 34 per cent, of
lint. The only satisfactory method of
determining the quality of lint yield
ed by a stalk is to gin each stalk sep
arately with a hand gin.
Care should be taken also as to the
typo of plant chosen. The best stalks
to select are those having long fruit
ing limbs close to the ground, and
With joints close together. The fewer
^largo stalking branches a plant has
the hotter, provided the fruiting
branches are more numerous.
In the matter of distribution and
arrangement of fruit over the stalk,
it is best to select the plants that
have the most fruit on the lower part,
because these begin fruiting earlier.
Roguing is regarded as an import
ant practice in the selection of cot
ton seed. That is, where a field is to
be used particularly for the selec
tion of seed, tho diseased and stunted
stalks should bo c-;t out about July
1 or August 1, to prevent crossing
with the producing plants and there
by reducing their resistance.
Care in Ginning.
Tho next thing is proper ginning.
The cotton selected for seed should
be ginned on a hand gin, if possible.
This does away with danger of adul
teration or mixture with diseased
seed. If the cotton is ginned on a
public gin, all of the seed should be
removed from the breast of the gin
and other parts before the cotton is
run through, and the seed should be
allowed to drop on the floor or on a
sheet; it should never be allowed to
run through the seed carrying auger.
The work on the wilt disease of
cotton, development of resistant
strains and seed selection, has been
in charge of Mr. A. C. Lewis, assist
ant state entomologist, since 1905. Un
der his direction there have been de
veloped a number of resistant hybrids,
and this special seed has been fur
nished to farmers in many sections
of the state.
Tho State Board of Entomology will
be glad to assist any farmer in mak
ing individual seed selections. Where
this assistance is desired, he should
save a few rows on a portion of his
field without picking it, and write the
state entomologist requesting to have
some one sent to assist in making the
selections.
The State Board of Entomology
owns a small gin operated by elec
tricity, and will take great pleasure
in ginning, free of charge, small quan
tities of seed that has been carefully
selected. Tbe seed cotton cab be
sent by parcels post and th# seed
wilt be properly labeled and returned.
