done so by following the essential
rules laid down for it.
Regardless of what some may say
to the contrary, Alabama, Mississippi
and other states already infested with
boil weevil, are making good cotton
crops today, because they have fol-
lowed safely established principles.
There is no denying it for the figures
show it.
Take Alabama, for instance. The
boil weevil entered that state about
1901. At the end of 1912 it had spread
across the southern sections of t..
Previous to 1909, Alabamas biggest
crop was 1,451 1862 bales in 1904. eYt
in 1911, Alabama made 1856, 284 bales,
and in 1918, LASS, 500 bales.
How about Mississippi The boil
weevil got there about 1905. Missis-
sippi's big crop In 1904 was 1,774, 464
bales. In 1908 Mississippi made L.
620,325 bales; in 1910, 1,212,104 bales;
in 1913, 1,2S1,S41 bales, and in 1914
1 ,217,SS3 bales.
so you see good cotton crops can
be made and have been made in spite
of the boil weevil. Georgia is going to
do the same thing"

PRICE TALKS To
FARMERS ON BOIL
WEEV|L 6 WEEP

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 12.-It is the
confident belief of the Georgia State
Department of Agriculture, based
upon established facts that by follow
ing we'll known requirements and CON
ditions, Georgia can make thorough
ly satisfactory crop of cotton, in spite
of the presence and the injurious WORK
of the boil weevil.
Commissioner of Agriculture ]. D.
Price points to the gratifying figure
which cotton is bringing today, with
every prospect Of its going consider
ably higher There is, in this con-
nection, the danger of -plantingg
next spring, and it is just here that the
Georgia farmer must use his best judg-
ment, taking into consideration both
the presence of the boil weevil and
market conditions which would be SER
iously affected, no doubt, by over-pro-
duction next year.
Eve may talk as we please about tho
various causes of the good prices cot
ton is bringing today" Commissioner
Price said, but there is on great big
fact that is really responsible for
them, however other causes may have
contributed. Cotton today, as always,
is responding to the law of supply and
demand; it is our short crop of less
than 10,500,O00 bales that is doing the |
work in the market. This is why cot
ton has kept going up, regardless of 4,
the European war.
While the boil weevil will reduce
the cotton crop of this state to some |
extent, if the farmers of Georgia |
will all raise their own supplies and |
grow less cotton, they will get just as
much money for it as they would with
a big crop at low prices. This has
been proven so often that there should
be no necessity of repeating it to any
farmer in this state.
Plenty of grain, hay and food crops
along with cotton will make I'D rich.
We have some evidence of this in what |
Georgia farmers have done this year. |
Those who have followed their policy
have met their obligations, have their |
winters supplies ahead and most of
hem have money in the bank.
''The best thing the Georgia farmer
can do today is to get busy now with |
winter grain. The farmers who plant |
ed last fall are those who are in the
best fix today.
"Of course, Georgia is going to con-
tinue to make cotton; it is natural
product of this state and section, and
the boil weevil is not going to stop it. !
The farmer who will listen to the ex-
perts, including officials of the state
and national boards of entomology, the
officials of other states who have come
here to help us, and who will profit by
what they tell him, will make his cot
ton crop in spite of the weevih But to
be safe he must unquestionably make
his home supplies aleAg With it.
Farmers in other states who have
succeeded in making cotton with the
boil weeVil Right in their midst, have |

Earl -Kitehener's selection for the

having been caused by his long service
in India and Egypt and his intimate
knowledge OF the native temperament
and his large personal following
among the leaders Of the natives.
Earlier in the war the disatiection
in India and Egypt was Of such threat

Denver.-Members of a Court of In
quiry appointed by Governor Carlson
at the request of several militia Off
GERS, against whom charges have been
brought recently, made a partial re-
port to the chief executive, in which
they allege having in their possession
evidence to show a general conspiracy
TO prevent the reorganization of the
state militia.
They particularly mentioned having
1ndlsputable proof that the United
Mine Workers of America had secured
a detective agency to spy upon the
movements of the recruiting officers;
that the Mine Workers and detective
agency were working with certain pub
lie officials to prevent the reorganiza-
ton of the militia.
1t was further claimed that their
evidence included certain correspond
ence, upon which was based their
knowledge of plot to secure the in
dictment of public officials and mill
tiamen, for the purpose of trading
upon such indictments for the benefit
of certain people involved and under
Indictment in the so-called strike"
cases.
One of the letters the Court OF In
quiry claims to possess, they say, dis
closes the fact that the text of the
recent decision of the State Supreme
Court, barring Judge CRANKY Hillyer
of the Third district from further par
ticipation in strike cases growing out
of the Colorado coal strike, was sent
to the Washington office of the de-
tective agency on Aug 5-althouoh
the decision was not handed down UNI
til Aug. 16.

the governor consists of Lieut.-Col. E.
