!AnthrAcnosc

II we are going to continue the
fruit game In Josephine county, an
thracnose must have closer attention
than Il has had during the past few
years. The present price OF blue
vitriol may appear to Offer some OK
cuse for emitting the Bordeaux spray
this fall. On the other hand. the
present outlook for better returns
from the fruit industry should OFFER
an inducement to the grower to take
better care OF his fruit trees than ever
before.
We sometimes do not realize the
seriousness OF this disease. thinking
that Its evil effects are confined to
the tree alone, Such Is not the case.
In many instances anthracnose will
develop In the fruit after II has been
in storage for some time and cause
serious loss. and consequently a great
deal OF trouble In adjusting matters
between shippers and dealers.
II you are at all troubled with
anthracnose do not under any con-
sideration allow the increased price
OF blue vitriol to keep you from ap-
plying the Bordeaux spray this fall.
Use the $3.50 and put II on Just
as soon as possible after your picking
Is done. One spraying may not era
dicate Il entirely. but II win keep II

SEED SELECTION IS VITAL
IN FIGHTING BOIL WEEvIL
Georgia Board of Entomology Points Out I'M
portant Principles to Be Followed.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 1916.-In view
Of the presence of the Mexican cot
ton boil weevil in some forty Geor-
gia counties, widespread interest is
already manifested in the question
of seed varieties for planting purposes
this spring, particularly in the infest-
ed section. Numerous inquiries upon
this line are reaching the office Of the
State Board Of Entomology daily.
The department has been conduct
ing constant and careful tests, says
State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham,
and while it cannot yet specify the
most adaptable seed for each partic-

superintendent Van Sickle finds.

Superintendent Van Sickle finds.
Even in communities where the
part-tima problem is either less acute
or else nonexistent, and where the
expenditures for schools have not be-
come so burdensome as in New York,
there will be decided interest in the
Gary duplicate plan. This gigantic
experiment in education, now in full
operation in one of the smaller cities
and in partial operation in the largest
American municipality is unques-
tionably of vast Importance, yet the
changes required in installing the
system in existing schools are so rad
ical and so expensive that school au-
thorfties will be disposed to await the
result of an adequate trial in New
York City before departing from the
present policy, which reserves a seat
for every child"

HE Is MAKING GOOD.

Indications are that President Will
son is doing a great deal of what he
went out into the Middle West and
across the Mississippi river to do.
That is, he is removing at least some
Of the anti-preparedness prejudice Of
the PEOPLE there and is lining many of
them up for preparedness. This much
is plain from the descriptions in al
number of newspapers of the effect
of mis- speeches. Several New York
newspapers have been endeavoring to
tell their readers, with the help of
correspondents, just what measure Of
success the President is having. and
taken as a whole their conclusions are
that he is getting some of the results
he is seeking.
Not a great deal can be made of
the fact that he has been greeted by
big crowds at all of his stops, for he
has Travelled so little and is so impor
tant a figure in the eyes of all the
world that it would be most surpris
ing of people cid not crowd to see him.
But trained observers believe they
have seen in these throngs evidence
Of growing determination to support
his desire for better preparedness to
defend the country, of an increasing
feeling of Americanism, of better ap
probation of what patriotism means.
He is appealing to something that
Is in every American, whether active
or latent; it is that love of country
that has inspired the armies of the
United States on all their battlefields
and its navy in aull of the great fights
in which our flag was engaged on the |
seas, He is not preaching politics or
craftsmanship, but Americanism. He is
not appealing to Americans as a Dem
ocrat but as President. And he is
making out SO good a case for prepar-
edness that failure to arouse enthus-
iasm for getting ready to defend
Americanism would be nothing short
of surprising, however hard the soil
on which he is sowing the seed of pre-
paredness.-Savannah Morning News.

the season; and for this reason will
not be as valuable in the infested
territory as varieties that fruit early
and continue their growth. Tests
made by the Georgia Department of
Entomology show that some of the
best varieties for South Georgia are
such types as Lewis 63, variety prop
agated by this department. 1t is wilt
resistant, early fruiting, prolific and
fairly resistant to drought The same
qualities, including a superior staple,
are found in Dix-Af1f, a hybrid be-
tween the Dixie and Egyptian Nit
Aft. This is worth several cents a
pound more than ordinary short cot
ton. CoVington-Toole, which has been
selected so as to make it wilt resist
ant, is another good variety The de-
partment has found that such varieties
as Improved Cleveland Big Boil
Cooks Improved, Toole and Express,
will be well adapted to most sections
of North Georgia.
Early Planting.

early enough so as to miss the late
frosts and cold nights. Shallow,
but frequent cultivation is important
once a week, if possible, until the
cotton is ready to pick
Emerging early in the spring the
weevil will feed on tender cotton buds
until the squares develop. Black leaf
or bud indicates the weevil's presence;
watch for this and pick the weevils
off. Squares that are attacked turn
yellow and fall to the ground Yellow
squares and those on the ground
should be picked and burned regular
ly until about July TO-
Finally, and as insuring agricultural
salvation against the weevil, the prac-
tice Of Investigation is all-important.
Farmers should grow more food crops,
more live stock, and yet be careful not
to undertake any wholly new PROPOSE
ton on a large scale, until sure of a
market. The important thing is to
make the farm self-sustaining.

The statements and suggestions set
forth in this article are specially ap-
plicable to conditions of February,
1916. By following these suggestions
and taking advantage of the other

grow cotton at profit, but it is abso-
lutely essential that there shall be a
reduction in acreage. 1t is out of the
question to undertake as much per

ditions. Nobody else has been able to
do this so far, and it has been proven

ular locality, it is able to speak as
to those varieties which it has tested,
and to state in what particular sec
ton they will thrive best.
Already there are 13,400 square
miles of cotton growing area in Geor-
gia infested by the weevil This is
approximately one-fourth of the cotton
growing area of the state. 1t is i'm
possible for any one to predict at this
time what the weevil is going to do,
or how far it is going to spread this
year. The difficulty grows out of the
lateness of the last cotton season and
the unusual abundance of weevils in
most of the infested area.
WeeVil Will be Serious.
The chances are that the weevil
will be very serious this year in at
least 80 to 35 counties.
Under these circumstances, it is
highly important that every farmer in
county where the boil weevil has
been found should proceed upon the
idea that it will be very serious
problem in 1916, and arrange his farm
ing operations accordingly.
The most advisable plans to follow
include the reduction in cotton acre
age to from eight to twelve acres to
the plow; the land should be prepar-
ed early and put in good condition
for planting; it should be fertilized
Just as if the boil weevil were not
present, remembering that the use of
acid phosphate has tendency to
make cotton fruit early.
Seed Selection First.
Most important of all, says the de
partment of entomology, is selection
of the very best seed that can be
found adapted to the particular sec
ton where it is to be planted. Fancy
varieties should be generally avoided,
and planters should, as nearly as pos
sible, use the seed grown close to
home. Once a good variety is found,
improve it by careful selection. The
Department of Entomology will gladly
assist you in this work.
One thing to be remembered is that
there is no such thing as boil wee
vii proof cotton. Here are the main
points as to selection:
You MUST have a variety that
will fruit early. 1t should put on a
large number of bolls very quickly.
2-If your land is subject to wilt or
black root, you should by all means
get variety resistant to this disease.
3-The variety chosen should be
prolific and yield high percentage
of good lint. 1t should have few un.
productive branches and should be

AS To Specific Varieties.
4-The variety should not only fruit
early, but it should continue to put
on squares throughout the growing
season. 1t is some times as late as
August Is before all squares are de-
stroyed. The square is the favorite
food of the young weevil, and as long
as they are available they will not
destroy the bolls.

ties as Kings, Simpkin's, Triumph
and some others, often have a ten
