WILL ORGANIZE COTTON
CLUBS IN THIS SECTION
State EntOmOlOgiSt at Head
of Work

Atlanta, Ga, Janary 25.-Dr. E. [,
Worsham, of the state department Of
entomology, will leave early in Feb
rurary for Southwest Georgia, where
he will organize breeders clubs in
ten counties in that section in which
/ il is feared the boil weevil will make
its appearance, coming from Alabama
within the next twelve months.
The counties to be visited are
Lowndes, Clinch, Worth, Ben Hill,
Irwin, DooIy, Crisp, Houston, Taylor
and Tiff In each of these counties
Dr.. Worsham and his assistants will
organize breeders clubs and distrib-
ute among these clubs the resistent
varieties of cotton seed which were
perfected by the department of ento-
mology last year and which, it has
been proven, will withstand the raw
ages of the Black Root, which disease
is costing the cotton growers of Geor-
gia hundreds Of thousands of dollars
each year. In addition, this variety
of cotton will mature very ea"ly and
it has been proven that an early ma
turing variety of cotton is the only one
that can successfully combat the boil
weevil.
The department of entomology has
only very few of these seed and, for
that reason, is distributing them with
great care among these breeders
clubs, with the understanding that
the breeders clubs are to plant them
and, from the seed secured next fall,
to get a distribution to go among the
members of the breeders club.
DR.. Worsham plans to spend most
of the month of February in that sec
ton, arousing the cotton planters to
the coming danger which is about to
befall them, in the approach of the
boil weevil, which has marched
steadily across the United States from
Texas. 1t is matter of congratula-
ton among the farmers of Georgia
that DR.. Worsham has secured this
resistent variety of cotton seed which
natures so early. Any damage to the
cotton crop will be felt not only by
the cotton mills of the South, which
consume so much of the fieecy stapla,
but by the cotton seed oil mills, which
have become one of the best friends
of the cotton grower, for it buys the
seeds from the cotton grower-which
We're formerly thrown away-and in
return gives him a cattle feed that IS
surpassed by none and in the spring
furnishes him with a commercial fer
tilizer with which to increase his
yield per acre during the growing
season.
The result of these breeders clubs
will be watched with interest.

who was appointed minister to Por-

clined the post, is one Of those Amer
lean authors who have given up writ

Nicholson, "and wanted to paint a

little quizzically, the least bit won

who only got her nose sunburned in
her weeks summer vacation, OF a
girl with million dollars, who had
played tennis all summer on the
