SOME TROUBLE WITH BUGS

Encouraging reports were filed yes ferday with the State Department of Agriculture and Industries by ]. E. ,Blohm, special tobacco expert of the United States Department of Agricul- lure. picturing the conditions of the tobacco experiment stations in South Alabama. The acres in the Sumatra and other weeds are in a fiourishing state in spite of the heavy rains and storms, with which are associated much trouble with bugs.
 MT. Blohm's headquarters are at Brewton, where he was placed by the United States Department to cooper ate with the State Department in the experimental work. In Escambia County the tobacco business is about to establish itself according to the re- port of MT. Blohm and thousands and thousands of dollars have been invest ed there. mostly in the Sumatra leaf. a cigar wrapper growth.
 "The Escambia Tobacco Company, of Brewton." reports the agent, "has eigh- ifeen acres slat shade and six acres of 'diiler tobacco. The soil selected is of a dark sandy loam located in two miles hof Brewton. Seed beds were prepared fin FebEuary and sown, but on, account lof hard rains they did not come to a igood stand and had to be re-sown, the laoil being an old field. The seed beds were not of the best.
 "The shade crop was started on April. @ and finished May 20. The filler crop lwas a little earlier. The early set lsuffered considerably on account of cold weather and did not show up. much until May 10. Weather was dry during transplanting time and the to- bacco had to be set out with water. May 19 there was a fine rain which was vary beneficial to the crop and to transplanting the rest of the shade

SHORTAGE Is NOT MADE GOOD Bonding Company Slow
 to Pay. TIE STATE S IMPATIENT Teachers Have Hah no Money
 Since January. Geneva County People Have Been se- verely Incenvenienced by the
 Disappesr.nce ef Former
 superintendent.

Notwithstanding it was announced a few days ago that the check Of the surety company in favor of the State to cover the shortage of J. M. Lam mons. former Superintendent Of Edu- cation of Geneva County, was on It's way, there has been nothing seen cf IL yet. The State officials are waxing fm- patient and have made another de- mand for remittance. The amount in- volved Is s10,522. s7.
 The latter sum represents the total dedication of Lammons, who took French leave of Alabama. and probab- Iy of the United States. about Febru- ary 20 last. State authorities claim that they ;ia7s been unusually indulg- ent towards the .,oadfny corporation and therefore are disappointed at the present delay In making good the shortage. Every adjustment In con- nection with the accounts of Lammons satisfactory to both State and surieies. was made on May 6. and since that time the State Treasurer has had the promise of the company that the cneck would be forthcoming immediately.
 Meantime the teachers of Geneva County are suffering from the delay. When paid promptly. public school teachers, it is said. do not enjoy prince iy stipends for their work For this reason the burden of delay bears down upon them severely. Not since the January pay roll was distributed by Lammons. has a teacher in Geneva County received cent of salary. Nor is there any provision for interest on the arrears.
 It win be recalled that Lannon's a few days before his sudden departure February 20, drew the February pay roll which was right up to the rim, 1t is said. and it all went into his own haversack instead of the pockets of the teachers for whom it was intended. Money in Honduras. although drawn in their favor. does the teachers no good.
 The State Department of Education has been flooded with inquiries from Geneva County about the money due the senders. They were patient until few days ago 1t was announced that the sum would be paid without trouble of any kind. Since then. so much time has elapsed without payment that they are growing uneasy. The bond Is tll,' GOO. showing that the state made . 'sten- strike" when last October an In. crease was demanded In LammcnS bond.

Rain fell and some hall The early tobacco was damaged consider ably but only q small lot of the same as the bulk of the crop was too small to get hurt much. The crop is now in fine shape and growing rapidly. How ever. wet weather has made lots of hard work to keep the crop clean of srass and also insects as poisoning had to be done between showers.
 The Terry Tobacco Company has eight acres of sfat shade and one of cloth shade. the two crops being close together had the same conditions. Also the soil Is of the same type"
 ProgresS with good experiments at Chunchula, Ala, where the Mobile Su- matra Company is planting a ave-acre slat shade crop. are reported. There 1t Is said that the type of the soil is of lighter color and underlaid with yell low clay. The crop suffered very much from the recent storms and cutworms are there reported very bad.
 Good reports come through the agent from the station at Evergreen where two shades of stat have been put up by E. E F Newton. The soil there Is of red loam and 1t reported that Q very good stand of plants has been made on virgin soil. number of small lots of Cuban filler have been planted. Cut worms are giving trouble there but little damage is reported from. the rains.
 At Marion five acres of stat shade and one acre of Cuban filler are plant ed by c. W. Thomas. The soil Is of red sandy ioam and has been planted in tobacco before this season with good results. On account of the heavy rains in that section cultivation has been practically impossible fer the last few weeks. Yet the prospects are fine and fair size crop may result.
