Why Newspapers Don't
Always Tell the Truth

From the Publishers Auxiliary.
w. w. Wadsworth, managing
editor Of the Anaconda (Mort)
Standard, believes that for news
paper to tell the absolute truth in
regard to all matters is not only a
mistake but will in the end put any
newspaper ont Of business.
Accuracy ofstatementi is essential,
is the prime requisite in newspaper
mading. There is noexcuse for reck-
less exaggeration or misrepresenta-
ton and the newspaper which is
not reliable is soon found out and
punished, yet the absolute truth
told about all institutions and peo-
pie would quickly place the news
paper in the class Of the unpopular
''knocker, = who may be truthful
but not discreet.
In writing up a wedding, says
the Montana editor, 'itiseSsential
of course, that there be absolute ac-
curacy as to the names and circum-
stances attending the wedding. tits
then permissible and the invariable
custom for the paper to say chat the
groom is one of the most promising
and successful business men of the
city, despite the fact that he may
owe everybody in town and be IN
competent in every line, and it is
also proper and right to say that
the bride is accomplished and beau
liful and popular in a wide circle
of friends, regardless Of whs ther or
not she is possessed Of any accom-
plishmeuts or beauty or is popular.
Such deviations from the stricttruth
are expected. 1t is also permissible
to say that the newly married cou-
lie have started on long honeymoon
tour of the east, although they may
have certain knowledge that they
onlywent as far as Pipeetonesprings.

Greatest Service to Greatest Number.
While this is the most far-reaching
field of activity of the department,
there are many other important agri-
cultural industries which it has mate
rally benefited; and as Mr.. Worsham
states in the conclusion of his report,
the department is proceeding upon
the policy of rendering the greatest
possible service to the greatest num-
Der, with the funds which are avail.
able.
During the year the department in
spected 4333,300 trees and plants in
Georgia nurseries, of which 1927 500
were peach trees. 1t is now practical
ly impossible, under the departments
watchful care, for diseased tree or
plant to come into the state.
: AS the result of directions given the
farmers, hundreds of thousands of
dollars were saved during the sum.
mer in meeting the attacks Of the
army worm and cotton caterpillar
Farmers meetings were held in va
rious sections of the state, and spe.
cial lectures were given by Mr.. Wor-
sham on cotton insects at the cotton
school held at the State College of
Agriculture in January. The depart.
ment has sought to cooperate active.
ly at every possible point with other
agencies working along agricultural
lines, with the result of material ben
eft to the farmer One instance not.
ed was the procuring for south Geor-
gia farmers of arsenate of lead at
actual cost during the outbreak Of
army work and cotton caterpillar.
Destruction by Insects.
When it is known that insect pests
and plarE diseases cost the farmers
and fruit growers Of the state $780,.
coo in 1912, the Importance of exper-
imentation in destroying these pests
will be better understood. Experiment
tai stations are maintained where the
experiments can be conducted under
the best conditions. Experiments on
insects and diseases that attack the
apple and peach are conducted in
Habersham county near Cornelia Ex-
periments on the mole cricket are
conducted on st. Simon's Island, near
Brunswick. Experiments on insects
and diseases of the pecan tree are
conducted at Dewitt in the pecan
growing section.
Results of this experimentation
have been the discovery and deve op,
ment of many valuable remedies for
keeping down and, in some instances,
the eradication of these pests.
The department issues from time to
time many valuable bulletins dealing
with plant and tree insects and dis
eases and their treatment which it
distributes to the farmers free Of
cost.
Considering its limited appropria-
tion the department has, unquestiona-
bly, done a great work The legisla-
ture will be asked to increase the APP
preparation this year to the end that
the work may be made still more ex-
tensive and effective.

IMPORTANT (Rl
OF ENTOM0LOGIST
In Meeting Boil WeevII and BLACK
Root" Conditions Assistance
Rendered Georgia Farmers.

Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaL) urging act.
i've and efficient cooperation among
all state institutions and agencies
working along agriculture lines, State
Entomologist E. Lee Worsham has Just
submitted his annual report to the COM
missioner of agriculture for transmits
s4oA 70 the legislature.
While engaging in many important
fields of activity to the farmer, the
fruit grower and the horticulturist, the
state department of entomology has
rendered no more far-reaching beneh-
cial service to Georgia than in devils
ing methods to meet the coming on
slaught of the Mexican cotton boil
weevil and at the same time develop
ing strains of cotton that will success
fully resist the attack of 'black root"
or the wilt disease, so disastrous to
cotton, particularly in south Georgia.
The problem Of meeting both these
conditions proved a peculiarly difficult
one in Georgia. because the early ma
turing varieties of cotton, planting OF
which constitutes the only practicable
safeguard against the attacks of tho
boil weevil, were all found peculiarly
susceptible to the black root dis
ease, which had reached the point OF
destroying a million dollars worth Of
cotton in south Georgia every year.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Worsham went to
work on 1t early, and, with the aid
of capable assistants, especially Mr.. A.
c. Lewis, now reports that next sea
son the department will pc ready to
distribute seed that are wilt resistant
and mature early enough to avoid boil
weevil in large measure"
A Valuable Development.
Doubtless there has been no more
valuable agricultural development for
Georgia the last decade than thiss and
the process is one which will be push
ed on to complete solution.
One of the important results Of the
departments experiments along these
lines was the development of a hys
brid cotton of long staple variety,
which can be successfully grown
throughout south Georgia, and which
can be used in the course of time to
take the place Of sea island cotton.
At last seasons prices, this staple
would be worth from IS to 20 cents
a pound.
BY no means of secondary import
ance is the growing interest noted in
cotton breeding. Cotton breeders
clubs have been organized by the de-
partment in rs south Georgia counties,
and these have proven great source
of inspiration to the farmers in the
selection of their own cotton seed for

as willy and successful as he was, got
only hundreds while Walter was
reaping thousands.
There have been but few bank and
post office robberies in the South in
the last decade that he wasn't con-
cerned in. His affairs with women
have been numerous, and his pen
chant for writing to them has more
than once caused him to run his head
into a moose from which only by the
merest luck he managed to extricate
himself. His letters have often fallen
into the hands of post Office inspec-
tors, and in every case they were
either addressed to a fellow-thief or
to some woman who consorts with
thieves and who knows their inner
most secrets.
While the yegg band that was
rounded up and captured in Balti-
more was being pursued it was the
tnterception of Walters letters that
made the raid success. These let
ters were sent from New York to
Charleston, S. c., and all contained
information which the postal detec-
tives were securing the country to
obtain.
