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. It 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.
WeeviI 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 1915, 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 pillow; the land should be prepar-
ed early and put in good condition
for planting; it should be fortified
just as if the boil weevil were not
present, remembering that the use of
acid phosphate has a tendency to
make cotton fruit early.
Seed Selection First.
Most important of ali, 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 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 "boll 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-H your land is subject to wilt or
black root, you should by all means
get variety resistant to this diseased
3-The variety chosen should be
prolific and yield a high percentage
of good lint. 1t should have few un-
productive branches and should be-

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 SO, variety prop
agated by this department. It is wilt
resistant, early fruiting, prolific and
fairly resistant to drought. The same
qualities, including superior staple.
are found in Dix-Af1f1, a hybrid be-
tween the Dixie and Egyptian Nit
At1ti. This Is worth several cents! a
pound more than ordinary short cot
ton. Covington-T oole, which has been
selected so as to make it wilt resist
ant, is another good variety. The de-
'partment has found that such varieties

will be well adapted to most sections
| of North Georgia.
Early Planting.
Planting should take place inst
early enough SO as to miss the late
frosts and cold nights. Shallow,
but frequent cultivation is important

cotton is ready to pick.

LOUIa BRANDEIs NOMINATED
FOR THE SUPREME COURT
Distinguished Lawyer Rendered Great
Service in Social and Political
Reform Movements.

Washington, JAN 29-President
Wilson today selected Louis D. Bran
deis, OF Boston, to be associate justice
of the supreme court to succeed the
late Justice Lamar.
Mr. Brandeis' nomination went to
the senate today. 1t was a surprise
everywhere in official circles. Mr..
Brandeis had not even been mentioned
for the vacancy.
Mr.. Brandeis is a lawyer who has
been much in public life during the
last three years, not only in legal work
but III various movements for social
betterment. He is a Kentuckian and
is sixty years old. He was born and
educated in Louisville and later at Har
ward university, and in 1873 began
practicing law in Boston. He came
came most notably before the public
six years ago through his participation
Nm the Ballinger-Pin investigation
in congress, in which he was counsel
for the forces opposed to Secretary
Ballinger and sought his removal.
Later he was counsel for the shippers
who opposed the general increases in
freight rates before the interstate COM
merce commission, and during the
same period he was at the forfront of
those who were demanding an investi-
cation of the financial affairs of the
New Haven railroad.
He was in 1910 chairman of the
board of arbitration which settled the
New York garment workers strike.
He has written largely and is re-
garded as an authority on public
franchises, life insurance, wage-earn-
er's insurance, scientific management,
labor problems and the trust question.
He also had been at the forefront of
the Zionist movement in the United
States and will be the first Jew to sit
on the supreme court bench.

AS To Specific Varieties.
1.-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
