ages and all bent on seeing the un-

Continuing, Mrs Jordan said: "One

me. Why, aren't you afraid to have

GOOD COTTON SEED

Farmers Advised to Make Sure at
Once of Getting Best Available
Seed Adapted to Boil WeeviI
Conditions.

Athens, Get 27.-The College of Ag
weevil territory to at once make sure
of getting the best seed available
for boil weevil conditions. Later on
the probabilities are that desirable
seed will be much higher priced. With
view to determining the best varie-
ties to use where the weevil has APP
pared, the College of Agriculture has
been conducting tests for several
years and has been making many
kinds of crosses in breeding into
plant the desired qualities of earli-
ness, disease resistance and good
yields. All varieties that other plant
breeders have developed for boil wee
vii conditions have been given trials,
and at the present time the plats
of the college permit of comparison
of the behavior of each. careful
record has been made of quantities
of cotton obtained at each picking,
those turning out the largest amount
of cotton for the first picking, OF
course, being preferable to others for
bell weevil conditions.
Many farmers have visited the col
lege and are still coming, also cot
ton oil and business men, to observe
what the plats teach with reference to
desirable cotton varieties for use in
boil weevil territory A very interest
ing feature to the visitors has been
the types of cotton developed by the
plant breeders of the college. It is a
matter of wonder to all that there are
so many kinds of cotton, varieties be-
ing grown that come from all parts of
the world. A great many crosses are
made each year to develop some new
and desirable type of plant. Those
that have proved most promising have
been con tihued and perfected through
selection.
Some excellent and very interesting
strains of cotton have been perfected
in this way, the benefits of which, OF
course. the farmers of the state are
entitled to. Results of the tests on
the cotton pits are being completed
as fast as possible and as soon as the
years work is done. circular will
be issued showing what has been OBJ
tanned, the specially interesting part
of which will be the amount of cotton
obtained at first and second pickings
as it will be these pickings that will
reveal what cottons are likely to bring
best results where the weevil is found.

INCONSISTENCIES AND

Atlanta, Oct. 27-In addition to be-

business of hunting down mOonshine
disttlleries is also fraught with great
many difficulties. according to revenue

in Atlanta and operate throughout the

mountainous districts Of the northern

Getting to a "still" before the own

impossible. these men declare. The
people of the mountains live a more
or less secluded life, see few strangers

is always ground for suspicion.
A man chopping wood by the road

woman washing clothes, will see a

SYRUP is CLIMBING UP IN
PRICE JUST LIKE

PRICE JUST LIKE COTTON
Sandersyille, oct. 27.-Like almost
everything else syrup is climbing up
with cotton and it is now predicted
that seyenty-fye cents per gallon will
be the ruling price at retail as the
cane crop this year has been cut short
in some sections, and the quantity
produced viii not be as great as us
ual. Like everything else when there
IS scarcity the price has jumped.
heretofore syrup makers have sold
this product in Wholesale lots at So
to 40 cents per gallon and the retail
price has been steady at so cents, but
this year the demand is greater than
the supply ana syrup is being quoted
at IS cents in retail lots. Syrup max
ing viii soon be under full Roadway
ia this county, as there have been
several light frosts and this is always
an admonition to cut down the cane
and proceed to convert it mtg syrup.
Cane grinding will begin right away
and there viii probably be plenty Of
syrup made in Washington county to
meet the local demands, but there will
not be any to spare for shipment to
other sections where the crop has
been cut short The small crop in
the southern portion Of the state has
been the cause Of boosting the price.
It is claimed that the top joints of the
cane are just as good for bedding for
seed purposes rs the whole stalk, and
this experiment has been tried by
some of the farmers.
