PLEADS FOR HELP
 TOSTOP RECALL
Taft Urges Conservative Element to Get Together to Meet Mis- guided Supporters of Inde-
 fensible Theory"

New York, Jan. 2S.-On the eve of his three days visit to Ohio, his
 home state, President Taft spoke
 last night at the Waldorf Astoria to the Ohio society of New York, delivering probably the most in- passioned speech he has made in many months, directed against the 'nostrums of reform" and partic- lularly aimed at the recall of judges. Of the efforts that have been made to reform legislation in this country he saw much that was good He saw the faults of gov- ernment in the United States and admitted in trying to eradicate them much might be achieved by the reformer. But in the effort to make the judiciary responsive to every whim of the people, he saw destruction. He declared the con- servative element of the nation must eventually "get together" to prevent a movement that would make the courts creatures of pop Iular will and might make the de- cision in every case, not accord with the law, but accord with what a majority of the people thought the law should be.
 Says They Are Misguided
 They are having a constitution al convention in Ohio" said the president, "and I am told that one of the propositions is to propose the judicial recall. Orators and statesmen are going up and down the country denouncing courts, pointing out their corrupt nature. The time is coming, in my judg- ment, when the conservative peo- pie of this country who are in fa- vor of the principles of justice and their administration so as to make them prevail, should rise to meet these misguided supporters of an utterly indefensible theory and end the agitation against the courts"

STATE ENTOMOLOGlST HAS
GIVEN FARMERS WARMING
Concerning Eradication of the Army Worm and the
Caterpillar-Bulletin Given Herewith in Full as
Presented By State Entomologist Worsham

10 The plants. The busting appara-
us can be made from a one-inca
board, four and a half feet long ami
tllee inches wide, by boring an inch
ana half auger hole five inches from
each end, and attaching under each
hole sack five inches wide bv about
llteen inches long. These sacks can
Oe made from unstarched sheeting
running about four younds to the
yafd, or corn meal sacks. If it is
found that the poison is being applied
100 fast or too slow, the proportions
OF lime Tor -FOUR and Paris green
, must be changed so that the required
amount of actual poison will be an
piled per acre.
by applying in this way one person
can dust fifteen to twenty acres per
day by riding on horseback and dust
ing as he passes between the rows.
Tow to Use Powdered Arsenate of
Lead.
II arsenate of lead is used the pow-
oored form should be employed 1t
can be used alone or with an equal
quantity of -four or ai-rslacked lime.
It should be applied by busting as in
case Of Paris green and at the rate
.of about three pounds of the arsenate
of lead per acre.
The best time to dust is in the
early morning or late afternoon but
satisfactory results can be obtained
IF application is made at any time
during the day.
Cotton Caterpillar.
The cotton caterpillar is sometimes
called the army worm, but it is All
entirely different worm. 1t is pres
ent at this time in Texas, and there IS
every reason to believe that it will
Iarneal in Georgia during the grow
ing season at the time when it CA
do & great deal of damage. 1t came
last year, but too late to injure nc
cotton crop very materially. There
are records where the cotton crop Of
Georgia has been injured fully so per
cent and it could do equally as much
damage this year if it were to break
out during July or August.
While the cotton caterpillar APP
reared all over the cotton belt last
season none of the insects wintered
over, except in the extreme southern
Part of the cotton belt. 1t is adyanc-
ing rapidly from this section. Speci-
mems have wintered in Florida o"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-06-29

peme south Georgia. 1t multiplies
very rapidly, and can cover vast areas
in single season. Last year speci.
mems were taken in New York state
massachusetts, and even in Canada
during the fall and them came from
tie Outbreak in the cotton states.
This is an insect that can be easily
controlled. The only thing of i'm
portance is for the cotton grower to
be prepared at the time the first
specimens make their appearance. Be
ready to apply the Paris green or ar
senate of lead when the first speci-
mems ale observed. One application
will probably be sufficient to give
protection during an entire season.
The powdered arsenate of lead par
ticularly has wonderful adhesive pow
ers and the poisonous effects remain
as long as the leaves cling to the
plant. When specimens are observed
on the cotton they should be sent at
once to the state entomologist SO
that detailed directions can be given
for applying the poison.
Paris green can be purchased at al
most any drug store, as can powdered
arsenate of lead.
Mr., Worsham is issuing a detail
which will be cheerfully sup
piled free of cost to all farmers or
others interested.

MOTHERHOOD

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis.
jinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
terstands how to properly care for her.
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial OF strength, and when it
IS over her system has received shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an un-
prepared condition, and with ample time
IN which to prepare, women will persist
in going blindly to the trial.
