This Ordinary

Atlanta, Ga.-Georgia farmers, and
especially those who have devoted
more acreage to corn this year. will
learn with interest that the State
Board of Entomology has simple and
effective process FOR destroying the
corn weevil j pest which has done a
good deal Of damage to corn crops in
this section.
The Co,n or rice weeyil, STATE Ento-
mologist L, Lee Worsham points out,
has been one Ct tile great drawbacks
to growing corn in Georgia Some
times they eat up the corn in the crib
before the mules, hogs and chickens
get Chance at it. The corn weevil
mulcrhes very rapidly if given the op-
portunity.
The effective remedy, declares the
State Board, is the simple process OF
fumigation with carbon btsulphide, q
volatile liquid obtainable at any drug
store
The time to do this fumigating is
Immediately after the corn is gathered,
II IS best to have a corn crib with
bottom and sides alright or nearly so.
The liquid carbon disulphide should be
placed i'll large. shallow pans, and
from 10 to 20 pounds of the liquid
should be used for each 1000 cubic
feet of space in the corn crib The
pans containing the liquid should be

COTTON SEED SELECTION
IMPORTANT TO THE FARMER
Valuable Suggestions Offered Georgia Planters By
Board OF Entomology.

AS to type Of plant, the best stalks
to select are those having long fruit
ing limbs close to the ground with
joints close together The fewer large
stalky branches the stalk has, the bet
ter, providing the fruiting branches
are more numerous 1t is best to Sc
lect the plants that have most of the
fruit on the lower part of the stalk.
for such begin fruiting early.
TO maintain the resistant quality
roguing should be practiced That is,
the diseased and stunted stalks should
be cut out about July LIST and August
1st to prevent crossing with the resist
ant plants.
The proper ginning Of cotton select
ed for seed is very important. A hand
gin should be used, if possible, as this
does away with danger of adulteTation
or mixture with diseased seed. If the
seed cotton is ginned in a public gin
all the seed should be removed from
the breast of the gin and other parts
before the cotton is run through, and
IIlS oCCu OllOuio NC olLONCN w NAOP va
the floor or in a sheet; it should never
be run through the seed-carrying auger
The State Board has a small gin run
by electricity and will gin free any IN
dividual selections the farmer may
send. The board will also be glad, Mr.
Worsham states, to assist any farmer
in making individual selections. Par
ties desiring to secure some of the
State Boards resistant seed this winter
should write to the office of the State
Entomologi5t here.
AS an illustration of what can be
done through seed selection and proper
breeding, the State Department
of Entomology, through Mr.. A
C. Lewis, assistant, has de-
veloped a new cotton called "DiXa-
hf," which is a combination of Dixie
and Egyptian, and makes long staple,
upland variety. This cotton grown from
seed furnished by the state depart
ment, has a staple l Ia inches long,
and is now in good demand at II cents
a pound. 1t will bring even more.
The department has small quantity
of this seed on hand which it will sup
ply to growers as long as it lasts.
If any cotton grower making a spe-
cialty of seed selection, desires it and
will write to the department, a special
representative will be sent TO his
farm and Will render all possible assist
ance

Atlanta, Ga.-Georgia farmers have
already begun to select their cotton
seed for next years planting, and the
State Board Of Entomology is offering
its aid by furnishing rules and sugges-
tions bearing on this important work
All of the Board rules are based
on practical experiments, and if care
fully followed by the farmers will ma
terially help in increasing individual
acreage yields and i'll eliminating plant
pests and diseases generally from the
fields Of this state.
The important points to be consid
cred, says State Entomologist E. Lee
Worsham, are resistance to black root
or wilt disease; resistance to root
knot and anthracnose; fruitfulness and
earliness; percentage, length and
strength Of lint; type of plant and dis
tribution of fruit on the plant
The best place to make selections
from resistant strains is in the spots
where the ordinary cotton dies the
most, and then select the hardest and
best developed plants.
Root knot or nematode worms may
be starved out by rotation of crops,
while the best way to guard against
this pest in selection is by choosing
stalks which are not stunted
Anthracnose is to be especially
avoided. This is fungus disease
which causes the bolls to rot. Crop ro-
tation and careful seed selection are
the best protection against this dis
ease. A plant affected by anthracnose
should noe be selected even though it
is resistant to wilt and well fruite1
After the above mentioned diseases
are guarded against, the department
urges the selection of the most fruitful
stalks with a view to increasing the
acreage yield.
In the face Of the boil weevil ad-
vance it is of vital Importance, partic-
ularly in Southwest Georgia, to plant
early varieties. Early resistant cot
ton may be obtained by selections
from wilt resistant strains Of the ear
Hest maturing varieties.

staple is not so important as in long
staple, the staple should not be less
than rs of an inch long The strength
can be tested by hand. No stalk
should be selected which yields less
than SO 1-3 per cent Of lint. The only
satisfactory way to determine quality
of lint is to gin each stalk separately
with hand gin.

placed on top OF the corn. The
liquid evaporates very rapidly. and the
gas which is heavy and penetrating
sinks and spreads through the corn
crib. Il is d good plan to cover the
top Of the corn with old sacks or bur
lap and leave it covered from "a to 4S
hours while fumigation Is in process.
1t may be necessary to repeat this
funigatiOn in three or four weeks.
There is a double reason for kill
ing the weevils in the corn cribs.
They not only feed on the grain il the
cribs in the winter and early spring.
but just before the CORE natures in the
fields the adult weeyils leave the
nearby cribs and fly to the cornfelds
= here their eggs are deposited on the
ripening corn. Thus frequently when
the corn is gathered, a large number

stage-are already IN &.

should always have this in view and

Atlanta, Ga-Plant your wheat late,
not earlier than Oct 20, if you would
avoid serious damage to the crop
from the Hessian fly, is the advice Civ
en- Georgia farmers by the State De
partment of Entomology
Wheat planting in Georgia will be
more extensive and general than ever
before, according to adViccs coming to
the department Winter wheat should
be planted late, says State tntomoio-
gist +. Lee Worsham. II Should be
planted from October 20 to 30; ear
lier paintings will subject tie crop to
serious injury from this pest.
In addition to late planting the
board urges also in order to avoid the
Hessian fly, which is found all over
the state, that the stubble OF infested
wheat fields should be burn ed; that all
volunteer wheat should be plowed
under not later than November l;
that rotation of crops be practiced,
and that good seed should be planted
on land we'll prepared and properly
fortified. The same rules apply, of
course, to rye and barley as we'll as
wheat, as they are similar plants.
The foregoing are the general rules
to be followed in fighting the ravages
of the Hcssian fly, a small mosquito.

they have frequently been seen flying
in wheat fields several days after frost.
The late planting and not the frost is
the real preventative.
There are two broods Of the Hessian
fly in Georgia The spring brood
emerges between Feb. p and March
80, and the fall brood between Sept.
IS and Oct. 30. Experiments in Geor-
gia have shown that where wheat was
planted even as late as Oct. y, some
of it was infested. The only paintings
in these experiments which showed
practically no infestation at all, were
made after October 20.
The first effect Of the larvae Of the
Hessian fly, noticed in the fall, about
Dec l or shortly afterward, is that
the infested plants are darker green.
The leaves are thicker and stand up
straighter than on the healthy plant.
Later in the spring the plant turns vel
low and dies. The larvae OF the spring
brood are generally found under the
Culms at the first or second joint. The
effect is to weaken the straws, caus-
ing many of them to break and fall
over so they cannot be caught by the
binder. 1t has been found that the
yield from infested straws is usually
about one-third less than from healthy
ones.
All this crop damage can be avoided
in large measure by late planting Of
wheat, rye and barley, and by follow
ing carefully the suggestions given by
the chronological department foc elm
mating this pest from the fields.
