WEEVIL MARCHES.
nfests Three Georgia Counties Along
Savannah.

Columbia, Dec. 8.-The Mexican
cotton boil weevil has infested three
Georgia counties, bordering on South
Carolina, namely, Burke, Eftingham,
and Chatham, according to letter
received by E. J. Watson, commits
sioner of agriculture, from E. Lee
Worsham, State entomologist OF
Georgia.
"In Chatham county," says Mr..
Worsham, lit appears to be only Is
miles from the Savannah river. The
advance eastward this year has been
about $50 miles and with favorable
season next year the southern and
western parts of your State will be-
come infested by the weevil.
1--WE are arranging to call a con-
vention of the sea island growers of
this State some time in January, for
the purpose of having a heart to
heart talk with them on sea island
cotton and the boil weevil and we
will be very glad indeed for the sea
island growers of your State and
Florida to meet with us. The expert
ments which we have conducted for
a period of years on early fruiting
varieties of sea island cotton are the
only experiments that have been con-

the west front is that Germany is to-
tally out of the air. You never see a
German aeroplane over the allied
troops any more, but the air is filled
with British and French airmen as
thick as buzzards. There are hun
dreds and hundreds, possibly thou
sands, of them in the air every day,
and it practically is death for any
German airman who ventures against
them.
"One of the most marvellous and
inspiring aspects of the west front is
the perfect esprit de corps of the
French. They inspire all their allies.
There also is the doggedness of the
British. They don't give in; they
don't surrender. No man moves un-
til he has been fully equipped and
fully trained. England now has g.
100000 men still on her side of the
channel being trained. They will not
move forward until they are in the
best fighting trim possible.
The statement has been made thai
Germany can put 100000 men on
the firing line each year, but this is
not true. In that 100000 are
counted all men between the ages of
II and 60, regardless of disabilities.
When it comes to a showdown the
100000 will be found to be greatly
decreased, but England has more
men than Germany, can put more on
the battle line than Germany, and can
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-12-14

equip them better. Further, Russia
can put 20,OO0,OOO men on the bat
tie line if they can be equipped,
which up to this date has been i'm
possible. The whole world could not
supply munitions for such great
number.
''It is reported that the German
troops are surrounding the Rou-
manian army. If that is so, it is up
to Russia to go to Roumania's aid,
and if she fails it will only be be-
cause of a lack of equipment. Rus
sia is manufacturing practically none
of her munitions, but is depending on
Japan and her other allies and also
on the United States. Even if the
war could not be won on the west
front, Russia has the men, and it is
only matter of time to train and
equip them. Germany cannot win"
Mr.. Irwin characterized the battle
of the Somme as the most marvellous
display of energy the world has ever
seen.
For twenty-eight miles wide and
several miles deep there is compact
mass of heavy artillery, you might
say he explained. The very fash
ing of the guns can be seen for miles
and miles at night. The Somme bat
tlefield is a mass of solid mud, and
the stencil is something that no mind
can imagine. You must be there to
know.

Quoted. Our results are very promis-
ing indeed and we are of the opinion
that if the sea island growers will
pursue the proper course, they can
continue to grow some cotton, but
there is a great danger of their be-
coming stampeded and trying to grow
short cotton instead. This, as YOU
know, will be very disastrous to the
sea island industry. In view Of the
fact that Georgia, South Carolina and
Florida raise all the sea island cot
ton grown in this country, l feel that
we ought to pull together and do
everything in our power to save this
industry. Will you be willing to CO.
operate with US and urge your sea
island men to attend the convention
at some central point some time in
January?
"You are going to find in your
work in South Carolina that you are
going to need all the help that you
can possibly get from every conceiV-
able source in convincing the farm
ers and business men that the boil
weevil is a permanent and serious
factor in cotton production. Your
problem in South Carolina is identi-
cal with that of Georgia, and l hope
that wenever this department can be
of service to your good people you
will not hesitate to call on us.
