there is more danger in the use Of

when the meat is first cut rub it well

any blood that may be left. Divide
the sugar and salt mixture into three
equal parts. Use one part on this
meat and pack in a barrel. 1t should
then be allowed TO lie three or four
days when it should be rubbed with

Summary.
Travelling at its present rate, the
boil Weevil will invade southwest Geor-
sia in 1911 or 1912, and W II cover the
entire southern portion of the state
within the next few years. 1t Will
travel more slowly along the north
line of advance, but will eventually
cover the entire State and ent re cot
tor belt. South Georgia. the chief

cred first, and in view Of the natural
eond tons preva ling there that are
favorable to the boil Weevil, we can
exnect a loss IF at least SO per cent
OF the crops. It will be a far more
serious problem with us thar, With
Texas. Unfortunately, no successful
remedy has as yet been discovered
whereby it can be controlled, but there
are many facts which have been s
covered by the large force CT men
