James B. Duke, formerly at the
head of the American Tobacco com
pany and now chairman Of the board
of directors Of the British-American
Tobacco company and president of
the Southern Power company, was
made the defendant in a suit filed in
New York in which he is accused of
"grasping for himself rich power
sites in Canada and a valuable pro
cess" for the treatment of phosphate
rock for fertilizer after he had agreed
to provide sS,OO0,00O for $4,000 600
enterprise which was planned and
practically completed by others. Mr..
Duke is not only charged specifically
with fraud in the transaction, but 1t
is alleged that he proceeded to "freeZe
out" the originators Of the enterprise
after being convinced by them that
it would be a success.

district court earlier in the day on
behalf of the Bankers Trust company
of New York The bonds of each
of the receivers were placed at $780,
000.
The petition asking for the receiy-

TTMELY SUGGESTIONS FROM THE.
STATE BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY
COTTON SEED SELECTION
IMPORTANT TO THE FARMER
Valuable Suggestions Offered Georgia Planters By State
Board OF Entomology

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,
lions 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 q. 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 cut 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-
ta ion and careful seed selection are
the best protection against this dis
case. 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 weeyil ad-
vance it is of vital Importance, partic-
ularly ia 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.
While in upland cotton length OF
staple is not so important as in long
staple, the staple should not be less
than 70 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 q hand Gin
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1914-09-24

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. It 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.
8 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
list 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 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 anger.
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..
Worshan states. TO assist any farmer
il mailing individual selections. Par
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..
10. Lewis, assistant, has de-
veloped new cotton called "pixa-
MI" which is a combination of Dixie
and Egyptian, and makes a long staple,
upland variety. This cotton grown from
seed furnished by the state Depart
ment has staple / IA inches long,
and is now in good demand at IA cents
pound. It will bring even more.
The department has a small quantity
Of this seed on hand which it will sup
ply to growers as long as It lasts.
If any cotton grover making a spe-
cialty Of seed selection, desires 1t and
win write to the department, a special
representative will be sent to his
farm and will render all possible assist
ance.

Atlanta, Ga.-Plant your wheat iate'
not earlier than Oct. 20, if you would
avoid serious damage to the crop
frem 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 adyices coming TO
the department. Winter wheat should
be planted late, says State Entomolo-
gist &. Lee Worsham. It should pc
planted from October 20 to 30; ear
Iier paintings win subject the crop ID
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, chat the stubble Of infested
wheat fields should be burned; that all
volunteer wheat should be plowed
under not later than November j.;
that rotation Of crops be practiced,
and that good seed should be planted
on land well 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 rayages
Of the Hessian fly, small mosquito
ike insect supposed to have been
brought to this country by Hessian sol
diers in 1779. It has spread all over
the country. Contrary to the general
impression, cold weather and heavy
frost do not always XIII them Some
times they disappear after frost, oal

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 bToods Of the Hessian
fly in Georgia. The spring brood
emerges between Feb. q and March
%, and the fall brood between Sept
rs and oct. 90. 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 TO-
The first effect of the larvae Of the
Hessian fly, noticed in the fall about
Dec. 1 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
clilms 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
hinder. It has been found that the
Weld from infested s.raws 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. Georgia farmers, and
especially those who have devoted
more acreage to corn this year, win
learn with interest that the State
Board Of Entomology has simple and
effective process for destroying the
corn weevil, pest which has done a
good deal Of damage to corn crops in
this section.
The corn or rice weevil, State Ento-
mologist Il. Lee Worsham points out,
has been one Of the great drawbacks
to growing corn i'll Georgia. Some
times they eat up the corn in the crib
before the mules. hogs and chickens
get chance at il. The corn weevil
multiplies very rapidly if given the op,
portunity
The effective remedy, declares the
State Board, is the simple process OF
fumigation with carbon bisulphide, a
volatile liquid o5tainable at any drug
store y
The time to do this fumigating is
Immediately after the corn is gathered,
It is best to have corn crib with
bottom and sides alright or nearly SO.
The liquid carbon disulphide should be
placed in large, shallow pans, and
from is to 20 pounds Of the liquid
should be used for each 1000 cubic
feet Of space in the corn crib. Nhe
mans containing the liquid should be
