PLANTERS ARE pESSTMISTIC
Georgia Cotton Crop Is Very Poor
Worms Are Doing Vast Damage in
Terrell and Other Counties.

Boil worms, which devastate the
bolls of cotton just before they open,
are reported to be wreaking much
damage in the southern part of the
state. Already a large per cent of the
crop which remains from the brown
rot and army worms is reported to
have been ruined.
In Terrell, Lee, Sumter and Worth
counties the injury is said to be un-
usually large, and there are no evil
dences of the pest being removed this
season. The worms are entirely diff
ferent from the boil weevil, as the in
sects lay their eggs in the cotton bolls,
which are stung and eaten by the
worms when they are Matched from
the deposits.
The planters are quite pessimistic
over the crop for this season, the
brown rot, army worms and boil
worms producing havoc that will, in
connection with the unfavorable
weather conditions, make the crop a
short one, and in many sections a
scanty one.
In speaking of the crop conditions
State Agricultural Commissioner Hud-
son SAYS the crop is deteriorating rap
idly, and that it will be a short crop
this year. 1t is not expected that the
average for the state will be over 50
per cent at the most optimistic view.
