STATE COLLEGE oFAGRfCULT URE
HOW BLOOD WILL TELL
President Andrew M. sou!e.

An illustration Of how blood will
tell may be seen on the college farm
at Athens. Several years ago group
of native cows was purchased as a
foundation for tests in beef raising.
These animals were understood and
showed evidence in their markings
that they were at most but one de-
gree removed from the poorest type
of the scrub dam. A purebred Here
ford of the very best strain was plac-
ed at the head of the herd. The
progeny from crossing this sire on
native cows was revelation TO many.
In a single generation such a trans
formation was brought about as to
seem almost unbelievable The Here
ford, as all know, is red and white
in color, and has other characteristic

GEORGIA DEVELOPS
VALUABLE COTTON
State Entomologist Ready for Boil
WeeVi and Black Root-other
Important Work.

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special)-B cross.
ing Egyptian long staple cotton with
domestic variety called Dixie, the
Georgia State Department of Ento-
mology has produced an entirely new
variety, as yet unnamed. which will
meet boil weevil conditions, by matur-
ing early, and will at the same time
resist the black root or wilt disease.
This new variety of cotton, which
has been developed under the direc-
ton of State Entomologist E. Lee
Worsham, is an intermediate long sta
pie cotton, that will bring a price far
in advance of the ordinary upland or
short staple cotton. 1t is of a kind
that will bring about twenty cents a
pound on the regular market, under
normal conditions.
After a long and careful series Of
experiments, under the direction of
Mr. Worsham, this cotton has been
produced with a combination of quail
tiles never before possessed by any
one variety. 1t has three elements
which are of hundred-fold value for
the very reason that they are com
bined it meets boil weeyil conditions,
it resists the wilt disease, and will
grow practically anywhere in the cot
ton belt, whereas Sea Island cotton,
the only other long staple variety in
this country is confined to narrow
belt near the sea coast.
This new strain of cotton was
evolved to meet the peculiar situation
which will develop in Georgia when
the boil weevil crosses over from Ala
bama next year, All specialists had
agreed that the best way to combat
boil weeviI was to use early matur
ing varieties. but in Georgia it was
found that the varieties which ma
tured early were peculiarly suscepti-
BILE to black root and would only es-
cape one pest to be ruined by another.
In the light of this situation, the very
great Importance of the State Boards
contribution to the situation becomes
at once apparent. ..-f+

For the time being the supply of
seed for this new strain will be small.

markings. The transmission OF the
regulation color markings to the
progeny was very noticeable. But
this was not all, for the calves show
ed a blockness and squareness in
conformation a relative shortness OF
limb and spring Of rib and depth
of body remarkably like their sire.
A generation of calves the progeny
of heifers from the first cross has
now been developed, and in many in.
stances these animals SO closely re,
semble the pure-bred that it is doubt
full if many experts could tell the
difference 1t should be borne in
mind in this connection that the cat
tie in question have never had any
special feed and care, but have been
under ordinary farm con
ditions advisedly.

SUFFRAGETTES THOUGHT
THEY HAD CONVERTS
But The Cruel Men We're Only Pooling
Them.

Atlanta, Dec. 31-The suffragettes,
who opened their Atlanta campaign
this week, are as made as hornets
at the inconsiderate men folks this
morning, and for a reason which,
though i. may seem humorous to the
men, is the real grievance from suf-
fragette viewpoint.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs M. F.
Bradley, who is secretary of the
local branch of the Woman's Suffrage
association, stationed herself in the
postofice lobby, assisted by comely
young miss, and the two of them dis
tributed suffragette literature and
pinned suffragette badges on the At
lanta men VINO passed through the
lobby.
Both he ladies were charming, and
nearly every man who passed was de-
lighted to receive a pretty votes foF
women" button from their fair hands
The ladies really believed that every
time thew were pinning badge on d
voter they were making convert, but
alas, no. Those cowardly men, or n
least nine-tenths of them accepted tbs
buttons as curiosities rather than con

got outside of the postoffice shamefac.

Yesterday, apparently every male
Albanian was honored and delighted

SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE.
r. n. Mediation, Professor of
Aor+inuI+ure.

! IL Horticulture.
Question-When would you spray
for San Jose scale?
The orchards should be sprayed
with concentrated lime and sulphur
in November. Boil 40 pounds stone
lime, so lbs. sulphur and SO gallons wa
ter together one hour, contributing
water as it boils off to have an even
fifty gallons at the end. Test with a
hydrometer that can be secured at a
drug store, to see if it stands 25 to
80 degrees baume, or if specific gravi-
ty is shown on hydrometer, to see if
it tests from 1908 to 1868. Make
tests by floating hydrometer in liquid,
For use in spraying for San Jose
scale dilute the liquid with water until
hydrometer reads 4 IL to degrees
baume or 1885 specific gravity.
If hydrometer can not be Sc
cured, boil Is pounds sulphur, IS
pounds lime with so gallons water
steadily for one hour, keeping up to
so gallons by contributing water to
offset evaporation. Strain and apply
while warm, with spray pump. If
badly infested make two applications,
one in November and one in Febru-
airy. If only one application is need
ed November is preferable.

While salt has curative properties
it is doubtful if there is any value

Beauty May Be Concealed.
The Tibetan woman may not be
without beauty. 1t is impossible to tell,
since she does not wash. Men and
women dress much alike, in gowns of
originally bright colored cloth, fast
ened about the waist by green and red
sashes The blOused waist portion is
always used as the receptacle for the
tea basin, whence it is handily drawn
forth at the constantly recurring hos
pitality of tea drinking
Women ara men wear heavy top
boots. They may be distinguished by
the head dress. Both sexes braid the
hair into innumerable plaits, some
times over 100. In some sections the
plaits are fastened together with
bright-colored cloth or with a heavy
felt band covered with silver orna-
ments, shells and beads. A turban
with a white fur brim and a red tassel
hanging from the pointed crown is
often worn.
Women in the district of Lhasa
wear for hair ornaments silver halo
set with turquoise-a most becoming
head dress, other things being equal
