UP IN ARMS

Trust Sugar factories throughout the country
have endeavored to cut and hammer the price OF
beets and up in arms at the audacity OF the
Monte Vista factory in even maintaining the old
price, with sliding scale, to mention the added
bonus OF IS cents per ton. The price quoted by
the local factory has been heralded far and wide,
and the truth Of the offer has even been questioned
in some localities by parties interested in hammer
ing down the price of beets.

RESULTS OF COOPERATION

The work of the Monte Vista
Hog Growers association, which
has been attended with such splen-
did success, has been watched with
interest by great many hog rails
ing localities throughout the United
States, and the accomplishments
of the year with the Hog Roast"
as fitting celebration at the close,
have been the means of very widely
advertising this section.
There is no limit to the amount
of good that can be done by this
cooperative organization of live
farmers and live business men in
bringing their home community
and their home city to the front.
The following letter of D. W.
Working shows how the organiza-
ton is being taken on the outside:
Denver, Colo, Feb. 49, 1914.
Mr.. G. s. Conant, Editor Monte Vista
journal, Monte Vista, Colo.
Dear Mr.. Conant: Mr.. Cooley has been
good enough to send me copy Of the
Journal with your admirable story Of the
big hog roast. AT the time of the drain
age meeting l had the honor to be in
vited to "eat hog" with the rest of you,
but l had engagements which made it
impossible for me to accept the invita-
ton. Reading your account Of the
feed" increases my regret that l Was
not able to be with you and to see the
great demonstration. However, l want
to congratulate you on your excellent
report OF the meeting and the people OF
the county on the work that made the
occasion possible.
You and l seem to be OF the same
mind-that the demonstration Of the
spirit OF co operation that prevails" was
the best thing in connection with the
whole affair. / am very much pleased
with what has been done in the valley
since the counties got together" to sup
port the agriculturist. Getting together
is one thing; sticking together, as the
people OF the valley have done, is an
other and much more important thing.
l had something to do with bringing the
counties together in the first place, but
the great work has been done since then.
Perhaps should qualify what / have
said great work has been done, but
the greatest is yet to be accomplished.
Your people united on plan that has
worked. The hog cholera seems to be
wiped out, and your people are now
hopeful where they were almost discour-
aged thirteen months ago. Still the
perfecting Of the work is yet in the fu-
ture. Better methods are to be devised
and adopted, better results are yet to DO
achieved and the hog raising and hog
feeding business is yet to be much more
profitable than it has yet been-all
through the perfecting Of the co-opera-
tive methods which your people have SO
well begun to understand and apply.
Very truly yours,
ID. w. WORKING,

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FROM THE
STATE BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY
COTTON SEED SELECTION
IMPORTANT TO THE FARMER
Valuable Suggestions Offered Georgia Planters b.
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. hand
gin should be used, if possible, as this
does away with danger of adulteration
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
the seed should be allowed to drop on
the floor or in a sheet; it should never
be run through the seed-carrying auger.
The State Board has 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. ParS
ties desiring to secure some OF the
State Boards resistant seed this winter
should write to the Office OF the State
Entomologist 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 "Dtxa
fifi," 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 Ia inches long
and is now in good demand at IA 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 1t lasts.
II any cotton grower making 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.

ANOTHER WEEK OF PROGRESS

Columbus, Ga, Sept. 16.-The In
dustrial Index says in it's issue for
this week:
There is perceptible improvement
in business condition in the South
east.
There has been some gain in the
volume of business. There has been
q notable increase in confidence, which
is even more important. The people of
this section have gone earnestly about
finding way out of the difficulties
and they are doing it. Their efforts
and their growing success are en- Z.
couraging them to a wonderful degree.
THE Buy-aBale-of-Cotton move
ment is spreading throughout the
South. 1t is helping to place more
money in circulation and to keep cot
ton out of low-price market. This and
other plans which are being placed in
operation, including the loaning of
money on stored cotton, is adding ma
terially to the volume of money in cir
culation-eventually to amount to
millions.
1T is notable that the reports for
the week show much substantial &C
tivity and substantial amount of con-
struction work in the Southeast. There
is a very considerable gain as COM
pared with last week, and this is a re-
liable indication of general conditions
'The Industrial Index publishes this
week more official requests for bids
for construction work of importance
than it has carried in a number Of
weeks. This is cheerful reflection
of actual conditions.
"Waterpower is to be developed, two
factories established. Summer resi-
dences erected and an electric railway
line constructed by two companies
which have been organized in northern
Alabama, capitalists of that state an:
of Pennsylvania being interested.
Twenty corporations have beer
formed with minimum capital stocks
aggregating $4,000.
Among the items of construction
work to be done, as reported this
week, are:

WHO WILL Be CAESAR
Of ATLANTA DARKTOWN

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 16,-By the first
of next year Darktown will have a
new Caesar, and its denizens are wond-
ering today just who will pronounce
them fatal words" of thirty days and
bound over" in the future. For "Jedge
Briles," for years the lord of The High
Justice of the Middle and the Low in
DarktoYn, has been elected to the
court of appeals and Atlanta today is
voting on a recorder. 1t is one time at
least that the negro feels keenly the
sorrows of disfranchisement. They
have no voice in the only election they
care a hang about If they could vote
they probably would go unanimously
in favor of abolishing the office, the
police court and the cells below it.
Four candidates are before the peo-
pie for recorder today; Thomas H.
Goodwin, who once came within an ace
of being elected Mayor; George f.
Johnson, for years member of the
police board John Y. Smith, young
lawyer and member of the legislature,
and w. H. Preston, clerk of the police
court, who has frequently presided,
and who knows his Darktown almost
as we'll as ledge Briles" himself.
There are several other hot races
scheduled but on the whole Atlanta is
having a dull election. Mayor Jim
Woodward is unopposed for the first
time in his career, and feels rather
lonely with a fight going on and him
self a non combatant.

Atlanta, Ga.-Georgia farmers have
seed for next years planting, and the
State Board Of Entomology is Offering
its aid by furnishing rules and sugges'
tons bearing on this important work
All of the Boards rules are based
on practical experiments, and if care
fully followed by the farmers will ma
terially help in increasing individual
acreage yields and in 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 a 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 not be selected even though 1t
is resistant to wilt and well fruited.
After the above mentioned diseases
are guarded against. the department
urges the selection Of the most fruitful
stalks with view to increasing the
acreage yield.
In the face of the boil weevil ad-
vance II 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
lest maturing varieties.
Wnlle III uplduu CotloA lChSeh Va
staple is not so important as in long
staple, the staple should not be less
than 7-S of an inch long. The strength
can be tested by hand. No stalk
should be selected which yields less
than 80 1-3 per cent of lint The only
satisfactory way to determine quality
of lint is to gin each stalk separately
with a hand gin.

MUST PLANT WHEAT LATE
TO AVOID SERIOUS DAMAGE
f Planted Earlier Than October 20 The Crop VIII Be In
- ;ured Bv The Hessian Fly.


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. q and March
90. and the fall brood between Sept.
2S and Oct 80. Experiments in Geor-
gia have shown that where wheat was
planted even as late as Oct. q, 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. 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. It has been found that the
Weld 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 for elm
mating this pest from the fields.

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 advices coming to
the department. Winter wheat should
be planted late, says State Entomolo-
gist E. Lee Worsham. 1t should be
planted from October 20 to 80; ear
lier paintings will subject the 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 burned; that all
volunteer wheat should be plowed
under not later than November i;
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 well as
wheat, as they are similar plants.
The foregoing are the general rules
to be followed in fighting the ravages
of the Hessian fly, small mosquito
like insect supposed to have been
brought to this country by Hessian sol
diers in 1879. 1t has spread all over
the country. Contrary to the general
impression, cold weather and heavy
frost do not always kill them. Some
times they disappear after frost, but
