COTTON THAT YIELDS
ITS CROP EARLY
Varieties That Get Ahead of
the Boil WeeVil.
(By Martin Y. Calvin

|
Current discussion of the boil weevil
has developed widespread inquiry in
Georgia and in the Carolinas as to
the earlier varieties of cotton. This
comes of the fact worked out in Texas
that they are indispensable to a sue
cessful warfare against the weevil. In
dependent of that suggestion, the ear
lier varieties are highly priced for
good reasons
| turned a moment ago to a number
of tests shown by the proportion of the
crop picked by the 29th of Septem-
Der.
In one instance 67.7 per cent. of. the
total yield by Cleveland's Big Boil
was picked by the date mentioned of
IRusselIs Big Boil, 66.3 per cent; of
Triumph, 66.3 per cent; of 1901
(CooD, 69.2 per cent; of Cooks I'M
proved, 81. 2per cent
Another year, by Sept. 10, 80
per cent. of Broadwell's Double joint
ed had been picked; 677 per cent. of
Rehinsens Big Boil; 500 per cent of
Cleyelands Big Boil; 53.2 per cent of
Phillips Improved.
! IA larger acreage will be planted in
| 1911 with the varieties which are ma
turally early, like King for example,
and with varieties that can be pushed
by fertilization and cultivation.
1t is generally believed that Broad
we'll Double Jointed is a branch of
the King family. This does not de-
tract from the credit due Mr.. Broad
well Cor the close attention he has Civ
en- the cotton close attention he has
given the cotton he discovered in his
fields, and determined to make it make
good
Rowden is fine cotton, capable of
high development Cleveland gener-
ously responds to liberal treatment.
/ am glad that the share-tenant"
evil, in many respects as damaging as
the boil weevil, has begun to attract
attention-unusual attention | have
been dwelling on this subject a num-
Der of years, but the fullness of time
had not come, hence it received pass
ing thought only; it looks as though
the time for action is at hand. Indi-
cations are that a large number of
landlords heretofore blind to the situa-
ton, will inaugurate a greatly needed
reform in this department of agricul
tural effort. 1t is a problem, but easy

ALABAMA MAY
WITHDRAW Statue
DR.. Curry No Longer Only
FaVOFitG Son.


Washington, d. &C., December %
The unprecedented action of a legis-
lature Withdrawing ''favorite som
from statuary hall in the United States
capitol may occur in the case of Ala
bama.
Reports have reached Washingto
to the effect that at the forthcoming
session of the legislature an effort will
be made to rescind the action of tho
legislature by which the statue of the
late Dr. Jabez Lamar Moore Curry
was placed in statuary hall The sta
tue has never been formally accepted
by congress. Such acceptance, how
ever, is only customary and is not re-
quired by law, the statues of Gen r.
E. Lee, Pere Marquette and several
others having the same status The
law authorizing the depositing of two
statues from each state in the Hall OF
Fame at the capitol vests the state
with the sole right of determining
whose statues shall be placed there.
Some Alabamians contend that DR..
Curry is not typical representa-
tive of that state, that the matter was
acted upon hastily by the legislature
and influenced in no small degree by
the fact that DR.. Curry's widow paid
for the statue, instead of the expense
being borne by the state. A statue
Of George Smith Houston, governor,
congressman and senator, a prominent
figure in ante-bellum and reconstruc-
ton days, is advocated by some Ala
bamians for the niche now occupied
by the Curry statue.
Alabama has only one statue in the
habitat of Dr. Curry. II IS said
that the one remaining vacancy will
be filled by the legislature making an
appropriation for a statue of Senator
John Tyler Morgan, the grand old
man of Alabama, who did more than
any other single American toward the
development of the isthmian canal 1t
is stated here toni ght that Governor
Elect ONeal will recommend this in
his message to the legislature.
DR. Curry, whose statue now stands
IN the capitol, was not native of that
state, having been born in Georgia, but
he moved to Alabama with his father
at the age of Is years, then went back
to Georgia to complete his education
and returned to Alabama to practice
law. He served in the Mexican war
as member of the Texas rangers, was
presidential elector on the Bu-
clanan ticket, and was a states rights
democrat in congress from Alabama
He was deputy in the provisional
Confederate congress in 1861, repre-
sentative in the first Confederate con-
gress, . lieutenant of cavalry in the
Confederate army, and after the war
became Baptist preacher.
Shortly after the war he became the
president of Howard College, Marion
Alabama, and professor at Richmond,
College, Virginia In 1885 he was
made United States minister to Spain.
He died in 1903.
