A new enemy to the cotton pro-
ducers of Georgia is at hand and we
must prepare to meet him. Those who
believe he will not come are mistaken
since he has marched steadily across
the country from Texas to within SIX
ty miles of the western border OF the
state. The fight against the boil wee
vii which Georgia farmers must wage
will of necessity be made with meth
DDS found most efficient in those
states where the enemy is being
fought.
IT behooves our farmers to be think
ing along these lines. 1t is essential
that they know the truth. To be mis-
led by false reports or misrepresehta-
tions would be suicidal. In tlghung
the boil weevil, the farmer must lnsu-
tuta modern practices. First, he must
plow and cultivate his soil and pre-
mare his seed bed with greater care
and skill than he has ever done pc
fore. Second, he must understand as
completely as possible the nseds OF
his soil in the way of supplemental
plant food, so as to stimulate rapid
and uniform growth of the crop and
it's maturity at the earliest poSSiDl9
date. Third, he must select ana gro"
early maturing varieties of cotton
which are as strongly resistant to dis
ease as possible. Fourth, he must ro-
tate his crops-this is absolutely as
sential Fifth, he should destroy by

WON'T LEVY SPECIAL TAX
TO PAY OFF THE BONDED DEBT
OF THE STATE OF $3,679,OOO.
May Issue More Bonds. treasurer
Points Out Conditions in His
Annual Report.

ATLANTA.-In his annual report
to the legislature, sent through the
governor, which has just been com
Melted. State Treasurer w. j. Speer
calls attention to the fact tnat the
coming legislature must either issue
S3.679,OOO of new bonds or levy
special tax for the purpose OF paying
off that amount of the bonded dept
of the state which falls due In 1912
Treasurer Speer makes no recon-
mendation as to which course should
he pursued, but a brief examination
of the state constitution makes II
obvious that the only thing tor the
legislature to do is to pass up Ihe
bond issue for refunding purposes.
The constitution limits the tax
rate in Georgia to five mills, ana II
would be impossible to levy a speclaI
+av for any purpose, whether for pay
inc bonds or anything else, without
constitutional amendment. On the
other hand, while the constitution
forbids the further issuance OF DoHqs
for ordinary purposes it does proV!ue
for bonds for refunding bonds Whlcn
mature before they are PAID on
through the sinking fund, ana LOT
bonds in case the state is INVADED ny
foreign foe. Obviously, therefore,
the legislature will pursue the eaSlest
wav and pass up the bond issue as II
is empowered to do without VoCe
of the people.

MUCHLlKE THE TITANIC.
Mystery Surrounding the Loss of the
Narconic Solved at Last.

NarCOnIC SOlNeU at last
Tragic fate. similar to that which
sent the Titanic to the bottom OF the
Atlantic ocean with an appalling loss
of life. must have overtaken the Mar
onic. if newly discovered evidence IS
authentic. The 20-year mystery sur
rounding the loss of the big trelghter
with "A souls-all on board-has
been solved by the finding of seal
ed bottle on the beach at Holyokc,
near Birkenhead, Eng, which cor
tanned this hastily scrawled message
still decipherable:
Struck iceberg; sinking fast;
mid-Ocean Naronic. YOUNG,
The Naronic left Liverpool Febru-
airy ,. 1898, for New York on her
second westward voyage. She was
new and of the latest construction
one of the biggest freighters atloat
1t was before the days of wireless, of
course. and from that time to this not
word has been heard from her
Only one or two bits of flotsam. in
Guiding a smashed boat, were ever
found.
Seafaring men now say that if
what befeIl the Naronic had become
known doubtless the Titanic disaster
might never have occurred. Some
years before the NarOnic's loss the
then grey hound of the sea, the Ari-
IONA. struck an iceberg and had her
bows stove in badly, but she was go
ing slowly and her water-tight COM
partments held, so she managed to
creep into port.

MEAN ADVANTAGE OF PIG
FINDS THE GOODIE FOR SELFISH
MAN AND THEN JERKED AWAY.
Most Luxurious Pig in Existence Is
Also the Most Dissatisfied and
the Most Deceived.


The most luxurious pig in all the
world is, as it painfully happens, the
most unhappy, the most dissatisfied,
the most deceived.
Her disappointing lot in life is to
hunt for the delicious truttle, only to
be hauled away at the very brink of
elysium.
Her full name is La TRUE, and
she inhabits the pleasant sunny land
around Perigueux and Sorges, in
France. That district supplies the
whole world with truffes. They are
finer there than anywhere else.
Sometimes as much as $500 is
paid for a truftles pig, the animals
special value being that through long
and careful inbreeding it is born
with an instinct for trutfles.
Not merely an instinct love, but
a marvellous instinct, which leads 1T
infallibly to discover where they are
hidden away in the earth. So pigs
of this breed have a price above
pearls.
From youth upward the trutties
pig is fed on the daintiest mOrsels.
Nothing is given that might spoil her
fine taste. La TRUE is born with this
fine taste, which belongs to her breed
and which has been carefully foster
ed for years.
When she has grown up a little
she is led forth one fine morning at
Of c1 m at
truffle-hunting expedition. The man
who leads her has no more exact
knowledge as to where the trutfies
are actually hidden in the earth than
purblind owl.
But La TRUE can scent one, so fine
is her instinct, if it be hidden nearly
two feet under the surface.
Down goes her head with its pc
culiarly long, well bred snout, and
she is roofing at the brown earth
with all the energy she possesses.
AS has been said, this work is
infallible. A dozen inches or more
down the pig finds the truftle she has
nosed Forth shoots her snOut, her
mouth is just opening to receive its
just reward when-she is hauled
back with a saudden and painful
jerk, and sharp-pointed stick prods
her away from the delicious morsel.
Truft1e hunting is a fine art at
PerigueuX AS much as 1000 pounds
have been collected from one estate
in a single day. These sell in Lon
don and elsewhere at from 1915 to
$500 pound.
After they are gathered women
peasants with long experience scrub
them delicately with hot water and
nail brushes, and others peel them
just as carefully and gently-much
in the manner in which potatoes are
scraped. For, as they come from the
earth, they look like black fungi,
and run about the size of potatoes.
Like mushrooms, they need a pc
Rod of warmth and rain in order to
insure a good season, which extends
through October, November, Decem-
Der and January.
In England the truffle is chiefly
used as a garnish, but it is also
served as a hors d'oeuvre and veg
etable.

This is of utmost Importance. SlXth'
the first spares which fall should be
picked and burned.
The successful fight against the
boil weevil depends absolutely on the
adoption Of the most upto-date meth
DDS of farming. The farmers OF
Southwest Georgia shomh immediate
ly emphasize the production OF IlVe
stock. the growth of winter cereals
and legumes such as the cow pea, vel
vet bean and the peanut Some VI
them are doing this and their exam
pie should be emulated by others
Those who are following the meth
DDS outlined above and who Will I'M
mediately put into practice the sug
gestions made, will be as well pre-
pared as possible, to meet the advent
of the weevil. These are the only
methods which have been found prac'
teal in boil weevil territory. 1t IS
useless for farmers to look to other
than educational institutions and 10

ARTIFICIAL EGGS NEXT.
Russian Chemist Predicts Their Pro-
duction Without Help Of Hen.


The good old fashioned barnyaTd
hen is threatened with a rival in the
field of egg production. Dr.. Paul
Walden, an eminent Russian chemist,
is authority for the statement that
there will be d new labor-saying pro-
cess found in the laboratories before
long, and this will be nothing less
than the accomplishment of the pro-
duction of eggs without the aid of the
hen. Dr. Walden points out that
Professor Berthsen of Germany has
already accomplished the feat of
making a simple compound of the
same chemical elements which enter
into the composition of an egg, and
the process is largely based on the
modern methods of capturing and
turning to various useful purposes
the nitrogen of the atmosphere. 1t
will not be long, DR.. Walden pre-
diets, before the egg will be success
fully duplicated in the laboratory
and a process worked out that will
permit of its manufacture.
