WEEV|L DELAYS VISIT
TO GEORGIA A YEAR.
Recent Cold Spell Keeps Pest
Within the Borders of
Alabama

Atlanta, October 26.--(speoial) There is
probability that as n result of the
early cold weather and heavy frost, che
boil weevil will not reach Georgia un-
til the latter part OF 1914 according to
State Entomologist e. Lee Worsham, who
has been making a careful study OF the
situation in southwest Georgia and watch
ing for the first appearance there of this
pest.
The boil weevll stopped last year within
80 miles of the Georgia line in southern
Alabama. At the close of the season it
begins to make it's migration in further
search of food. There appears to be no
question of the fact that 1t has made
some progress and If it did not get up to
the Georgia line this season, 1t is very
close TO it,. But Mr.. Worsham says there
is little doubt of the fact that this prog
ress, whatever point 1t reached, has been
stopped by the cold weather, and the
weevil has doubtless gone into winter
quarters, from which he Will not circu-
late again until the warm weather of next
spring.
If Mr.. Worsham's conclusions are cor
rect, as they generally have been upon
this subject, Georgia has a years grace
from the activities of the weevil, and
the cotton crop of 1914 will be practically
safe from it's ravages. 1t is only in the

nomenal tests of accurate firing which
were recently made in his presence by
some of the battleships of the United

newspaper comments within the past week
upon some features of the launching of

referred to the fact that the Queen Eliz-

seems to be regarded as an innovation
not yet attempted in this country, at
least with battleships.
Yet the United States navy department
made careful and exhaustive tests of the
utility of oil burning apparatus for battle-
ships. These tests were not entirely sat

seem to have demonstrated to our own
naval architects and engineers that the

Holidays Both Tuesday and
Saturday-COncern In
Size of Crop

New Orleans, October 26-This week
does not promise to be lively one in
the local cotton market. Tuesday and
Saturday are both legal holidays, and,
hence, trading in futures will be sus
pended. This leaves only four days of
trading and they are cut up. The ten
dency will hardly be to increase COM
mitments, except on a moderate scale,
especially with two days of inactivity
on the weekend.
With one census bureau report on
ginning just out Of the way the trade
will soon be facing another, as Fri
day ends the present period in the
schedule of ginners' returns. These sta
tistics are increasingly in Importance and
may become a powerful influence in
the market. The. weather is no longer
of prime Importance and from now on
less attention will be paid to the
weather map while in a few days the
detailed reports from all sections will
be discontinued for the season by the
weather bureau.
Outside of the ginning statistics the
trade win be chiefly concerned in the
size OF the crop, state of trade. spot
demand and probable mill takings and
consumption for this season.
With the first killing frosts of the
season already experienced and import
ant ginning data to work on, there
will be a number of crop estimates in
'the near future which may influence
prices. Before very long the market
will be talking about little else than
the annual crop estimate by the de-
partment of agriculture, due early in
December.
Bulls are making rather extravagant
claims regarding consumption this sea-
son. Each weeks statistics will be eag-
erly scanned for anything new bearing
on this matter.
The spot markets of the south will
furnish much gossip for the future
market this week. Bears say the low
grade of the crop is causing poor
demand and is even driving buyers into
the market for East Indian cotton.
Bears on the other hand contend there
is a good inquiry for spinnable grades
and that farmers are experiencing no
difficulty in getting prices they name.
Any Developments of Importance in the
spot situation would be quickly re-
flected by price changes In the future

CORN SHOW WILL Be
HELD IN ATLANTA
Exhibition in December Will
Biggest and Most Exten-
sive Ever Held

Atlanta, October 2e-(special) )-Plans
the first week in December the biggest
and most extensive corn show ever yet
held in the south
The committee of the Atlanta Chamber
OF Commerce, which has the annual Geor-
gia Corn show in charge, has raised a
larger fund this year than ever before,
which means both bigger prizes and a
better show. While there has been no
extraordinary increase the past year in
the number of boys corn clubs and the
membership in them, there has been a
decided increase in the activity of this
membership, with the result that accord
ing to report of State Agent ]. Phil Camp
bell, twice as many boys this year will
comply with all the, rules and require
ments and come through with their acre
of corn.
Last year every corn club boy who
carried out the required programme was
of the show, and was entertained here
for three or four days. That Invitation
brought something over 700 Georgia boys
1t is estimated that the same Invitation
this year will bring approximately 1900
for the week of the show, If it does not
double last years record
The committee has arranged for a mlii-
tary display and a parade which will in
clude the troops along with the corn club
boys and the boy scouts. Other interest
ing features are under discussion for the
week, which 1t is proposed to make one
of the most interesting the Georgia corn
club boys have ever known.
Plans are being made to present at
one of the opera houses a moving picture
reel entitled, THE Dawn of Plenty" This
picture, which takes an hour and half
for its presentation, is purely an agricul-
tural one In which an interesting story is
interviewer, and shows the development
of agricultural industries from early times
down to the present. 1t will be pre-
sented for the corn club boys free of
charge.
The Southern Express company as here
tofore, has agreed to transport free of
charge all exhibits, both of the corn club
and of the girls canning clubs, and this
will include the extensive canning ex-
hibits which are now on display at the
State fair in Macon.

carry another pair of big guns if her mo-
tive power was redesigned with the West
inghouse apparatus.
The fact that this subject has been
brought to the attention of the naval au-
thorities at Washington by so high an au-
thority as the editor of the Scientific
American Is of itself of great significance.
The naval authorities may after tests
decide that it Is at present not expedient
to make use of the Westinghouse ap-
paratus. But the authorities of the navy
department are certain to make most
thorough examination of this apparatus.
An Incidental Point
Incidentallyit it may be said that the per-
fecting of this Westinghouse invention
and the acceptance of it in a glumber of
large power houses on land calls attention
to the fact that Mr.. Westinghouse seems
completely to have recovered from what
ever embarra ssments or difficulty he was
compelled to face in the panic year of
1907. Like Edison, he is a worker all the
time His mind is concentrated upon
these subjects which his inventive genius
has suggested to him. At present he is
machine company which bears his name,
confident that he will in a short time
make this one of the largest and most ini-
portant of any member Of the Westing-
house group. If there is any dullness
elsewhere in business or manufacture
there are no indications of 1t in the West
inghouse works, for if these works are
to be taken as a good indication of busi-
ness conditions throughout the United
States then it can be properly assumed
that industry of all kinds has not been
seriously or even perceptibly affected by
recent political. economic or legislative
conditions.
