abandoned cotton to raise the
groundpea, as they say the latter
crop is more profitable.
And yet our Jones county far
mers stick to the staple, when
they must fight the pest for eve-

ready market for the groundpea
as for cotton, the vines can be
cured and make a splendid feed
for stock, and our soil is especi-
ally adapted to this crop.
Our farmers depend entirely
too much on corn as feed for
plow-stocR and to fatten hogs. In
fact, corn is tho most expensive
food crop a farmer can use. Sow
oats early in the fall, and they !
will make a good crop and never
fail. When they are harvested
plant the land in COW peas to cut
for hay. Then every farmer
should plant a patch of German
millet, which yields heavily and
is a strong feed for horses and
mules. In fact, there are vast
number of feed and forage crops
that a farmer can grow in this
section, and the only labor requi-
red is planting and harvesting.
One Of the best and most suc-
sessful farmers we ever knew
gave his stock when at hard work
only a feed of corn at night and
kept them in fine condition with
food that did not take near
so much labor to produce.
And it does not neoessitste go

Georgia farmer once told me that
he could raise meat, where he had

hogs, at less than three cents per

citizens are calling on the department
for the help which it stands ready t.
give.
Considerable space is given to re-
view of the boil weeyil question. Ii
shows that this pest was first dis
covered in Georgia the latter part Of
Auguts, and the first specimen was
secured at Townsville about August
q, and before the end of the year it
had spread over "a counties, going as
far east as Pidcock, and as far north
on the western side of the state as
West Point, in Troup county. Since
the appearance of the weevil in the
state, this report shows that much
valuable and efficient work has been
done, and that the department is now
doing everything within its power to
combat the evil What the result
will be cannot be told at this time;
neither as to damage to the crops or
probable success in control or over
coming the ravages of the pest.
This department has also done good
work along other lines, as the report
shows. Considerable attention has
been given the work of cotton breed
ing for resistance to black root and
wilt. Good progress has been made
i'll this direction, and it is ultimately
believed experiments along this line
VII be successful, and these diseases
will be overcome. Experiments have
also been made with the various spe-
eies or kinds of cotton in an effort to
control the disease anthracnose. Il.
is clearly shown that to control this
disease, too much attention cannot be
paid the selection of seed.
Only brief mention is made here
OF the many things this report treats
upon. But by it is proven that this
board which is department of the

splendid success, and is becoming
more valuable to our citizens each

The report of State Entomologist F,
Lee Worsham for the year 1915, is q
most interesting document and should
be read by every farmer and horticui-
turalist in Georgia.
This report is in reality statement
of the work done by the Georgia State
Board of Entomology, of which Mr
Worsham is secretary. The work oi
tbs board consists of research or ex.
perimental work for control of or
chards and crops for the purpose o.
directing control of insect pests and
plant diseases, inspection of all stock
in nurseries of the state; inspection
of all stock entering the state from
foreign countries; inspection of grow.
ing crops; growing and distribution of
cotton seed resistant to disease; is
suing of bulletins and circulars on va,
rious pests attacking plant life; en-
forcement of all quarantine laws as
ials that will introduce insects am
diseases in places where they do not
occur at the present time In addi-
ton to above, the different members OF
tie staff attend agricultural and hor-
ticultural meetings in the state to
give farmers he benefit of results Of
their investigations in insects and dis
eases.
This report shows that for the year
s1g15 the normal amount of damage
was done to the various crops of the
state by insects and diseases. The
statement is made that Georgia's en-
genealogical Investigations net the
growers about $25O,OOO,OOO annually,
and were it not for ravages made by
insects and diseases this would be in
creased to 275 or 800 million dollars
a year. 1t is also shown in this re-
port that If the proper steps were TAX

the farmers themselves, and by the di-
rections given by the government for
