BOIL WORMS MENACE

According 10 DR.. E. Lee Worsham'
state entomologist. who has just made

the most destructive horde OF cotton
boil worms this state has ever known
These cotton boil worms are found In
practically every county in the state
and the damage done to the growing
Gotten is almost incaleulable. He states
that the continued rains throughout
Georgia have done much to make con-
ditfons more ideal for the cotton boil
worm and hence their ravaging attacks
have been even greater than at any
time past
The only cure for this III. IL is stat
ed. is in sprfnkling the infected cotton
stalks and bolIs with arsenate OF lead
which puts an end 10 the worm
During this trip. too. DIR. Worsham

been developed with q view to warding
off the attacks OF the black root dis

Immensely pleased with the resistance
developed by these plants, and he states
this work has been a splendid sue

celery for the market should not attempt
to do so until they have visited one of

farmer who simply desires to grow
enough celery for his family use, may if
he follows Instructions, grow good crops,
always provided that his soil is very
rich and well drained.
The application of manure should be
made every season, no matter how rich
the soil Is, because celery will not grow
well on impoverished soil.

thority for this than Colonel Roose-

the authority. A contrary impression
has been given in an item sent out to
the newspapers, which quoted Captain
Bartlett as authority for the state
ment that big game hunting in the
Arctic has more attractions for Col
onel Roosevelt than the next presiden-
tial campaign as the colonel now sees
lit.
Captain Bartlett, who commanded
Pearys ship, the Roosevelt, on her
