OF THE GERMAN TROOPS

With the British army in France
Sept. II (via London) with cease
less shell fire from unprecedented con-
centration OF guns the battle ragged
furiously all day with the British max
ing good their advance of yesterday
while the Germans were rushing up
reserves from other parts Of the Wes-
tern front.
The decentralization Of their infantry
yesterday by the use of the new ar
mored motor cars, called "tanks," was
freely confessed by prisoners with
whom the correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press talked today.
"There was no standing against that
sort of thing" said one German Of
ficer. "Of course we surrendered
those of us who were alive. We fired
at a tank with our rifles. Cur machine
guns turned loose on it, but the bull
lets were only blue sparks on the ar
NOR. We though the British slow and
stupid, despite their courage and stub
bornness and they gave us a sur
prise like this"
A column of German prisoners pass

name of Creme de Menthe," which
had returned from battle and was rest

hands and shook their heads as they
looked at it, exclaming in chorus:

APPARENTLY EASY
FOR SOLDIER BOYS TO GET

Macon, Sept. 19.-Handling John
Rarleyc0rn is getting to be a serious
proposition with the officers of the
First Georgia Brigade at Camp Har
ris. The further along the situation
goes, the more problematical it be-
comes, until now the officers are fac
ing task in getting to the root Of the
evil.
Since the payment Of the troops be-
gan the early part of the week, the
guard-houses at Camp Harris have
been filed with soldiers brought in by
the provost guards from the city
barracks, after they had been picked
aup for drunk. Out of courtesy to the
military authorities, no cases are dock
oted against the soldiers when found,
but they are turned over to the provost
guard. ~
Yesterday morning when the guard
went off duty at 2:3O o'clock the pa
troll at the police barracks was loaded
twice in carrying the military prison
ers to the camp. There were nine
teeen who had imbibed too freely, and
who. afterwaSd .Elad. proceeded Ito let

BOOTS WITH HAND PAINTED
TOPS LATEST ATLANTA FAD

Atlanta, Sept. 1S.pBoots with hand
painted tops are the latest fad among
Atlanta's smart set. Miladi purchas-
es a pair of boots with white tops that
are blank like an unWritten page. she
takes the boots home and gets out her
oils or water colors. as the case may
be. and adorns the tops with beauti-
full pictures. Sometimes a landscape
strikes her fancy, sometimes gor-
geOus boUsuet Of roses, sometimes a
wreath Of autumn leaves i'll all the
mellow tones and colors Of the sea
son. There is no limit TO the play OF
imagination or fancy. A lady can
decorate the tops Of her boots with
any picture she wants to paint, and
she is the sole judge Of what IS most
appropriate. Likewise she can pur-
chase boots with tops as high as she
pleases, and insure a lively interest
in the same by proper combination
of decoration and daring shortness Of

Destroy Stalks Early

The quicker and earlier you de-
stroy the stalks in the field, the bet
ter the results you will get from it.
The weevil remains in the field until
the first killing frost and then seeks
winter quarters, under trash, around
stumps and along fence rows.
Many weevils are killed off during
the winter, but we want to reduce the
number that goes into winter quarters.
If the stalks are destroyed from Sep
TENDER Is to 80, only weevils out
of every 1000 will survive the win
ter and be ready to attack the young
crop in the spring. If the stalks are
destroyed from October l to IS, there
will remain p out of every 1000, from
October Is to so, IS out Of every 1000
and November 1 to Is, 121 out Of
every 1000.
1t is easy to see, therefore, why it
is necessary to destroy the stalks as
early as possible. The best and most
satisfactory method of stalk destruc-
ton is to PLOW THEM UNDER
DEEP. Use big turn pillow and get
them buried under at least four inches
of dirt; this will destroy millions of
weevils, and thus prevent their going
into winter quarters.
If the stalks are very large it will
be necessary to attach a steel rod or

DESTROY COTTON STALKS EARLY
To CHECK BOIL WEEViL DAMAGE

Atlanta, Ga, September.-(Special)
"Destroy, absolutely destroy, at the
earliest possible moment, every cot
ton stalk in your field" is the warn
ing advice which the State Board of
Entomology gives to cotton planters
in and upon the borders Of the district
infested with the Mexican cotton boil
Weevil.
Stalk destruction is one OF the most
important phases Of the boil weeyil
fight. Pick the cotton early and just
as soon as it is picked, DESTROY
THE STALKS,
The entire cotton crop in southwest
Georgia will be open by September IS
to 30. The boil weevil is now doing
serious damage in many south Geor-
gia counties, some twenty to twenty
five OF them. Farmers in these in
tested areas should not be misled into
thinking they are going to get more
cotton by the appearance of late bOlls.
These bolls which would ordinarily
open, are many Of them, infested with
the weevil; in the absence of squares
the weevil attacks the boil, even when
nearly mature, and many OF these will
not open.

May Be Cut And Burned
Another method is to cut the stalks
from rocks and stumps it will be
practical to use a N-shaped harrow.
Any farmer can construct an outfit of
this kind. All that is necessary is to
make two blades at the blacksmith
shop out Of Old cross-cut saws, and
attach one blade on each side Of the
harrow. a pamphlet giving 'instruc-
tiCns regarding this method, will be
mailed from the office Of the depart
ment upon application.
II it is not practical to pillow the
stalks under or cut them up and burn
them, the department would advise
blowing them up and thus putting an
end to their growth at least four
weeks before the first killing frost.
This will not kill the Weevils, bat they
Will leave your fields and go some
where else in search OF food.
If every farmer in or adjacent to
territory infested with the boil wee
vii would destroy the stalks as here
advised, it would not be necessary to
pick Woevils off of young cotton by
hand III the spring.
Restricting Its Progress
The boil weevi is making rapid adj
vances in Georgia, and has already
travelled more than so miles eastward
in South Georgia. The department
is doing everything within its power
to restrict the movement of cotton
seed and other articles which are like
ly to carry the insect, so as to hold
it down to its natural spread.
The department cautions every one
not to carry live weevils to their
farms. If you go into the infested ter
ritory don't take back any live Wee
wills with you. Outside of the danger
of establishing the weevil ahead Of
his natural spread, there is heavy
penalty attached to it, both by state
and national governments.
ANY IuflneF IAIClIlltt,loi VI d9S49t
ance desired, will be gladly supplied by
the State Beard of Entomology. The
department has specially prepared
and recent bulletin on the history and
control OF the Mexican cotton boil
weevil, a copy CT which will be sent

the fact that It keeps the hair in place
