ROAD MARKING DAY
FOR DIXIE HIGHWAY

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 25.--
One of the first divisions of the entire
Dixie Highway to arrange for a spec
ial road marking day, is that of the
western division between Louisville
and Nashville. President D. w Rider,
OF Elizabethtown, Kentucky, of the di-
visional association has sent out no.
tees to all of the counties on his divis-
ion to secure the markers from the
Dixie Highway Association at Chatta-
ncoga and be ready to put them up on
June /, in order that the close of the
day set apart for this work may find
tie entire Dixie Highway between the
cities mentioned, thoroughly marked
From the inquiries which the associa-
ton has received, other counties and
divisions which have been made ac-
quainted with the action of the Louis
vile to Nashville division are prepar-
ing also to observe a special marking
day about June 1.
On marking day, Judge Rider is
planning big auto parade and holiday
along the entire division, and the high
way will be alive with machines all
day. Residents of the various coun-
ties are planning to visit one another
and the day is specially devoted to a
Zig demonstration for the Dixie High
way. In his call Judge Rider urges
every resident along the highway to
give this one day to the work, stating
cur Dixie Highway is too great an
enterprise to be treated lightly by any
and and trust that everyone will feel
it is his or her duty to assist us in this
matter"
Judge Rider has also set aside May
3 as a day to start the work of beauti-
flying the Louisville-Na Nashville division
Of the Dixie Highway in every county.
The day, he stated, should be set aside
for the planting of trees, flowers, and
other shrubbery along the right of
way. The women's clubs and the
school children have been specially
invited to have an important part in

EASTER IN ATLANTA
WAS DAY OF DAYS

| ATLANTA, Ca April 25.-Easter
in Atlanta proved to be the day of
days" from a weather viewpoint. l.
was ideal with the brightness of sun
shine and the verdancy of spring.
Thousands of people were on the
streets, in the churches and at the
parks. But all of this was backed off
the boards by the pretty girls and their
new gowns. Truly, Atlanta which sets
the styles in the south, broke some
records Sunday in Easter clothes.
From the top of milady's hat to the
tips of her shoes she was yesterday at
tired in her gladstone finery. AS many
and varied were the styles of headgear
as the different wearers of it. The mar
row turban with its bow atop that
threatens to rake the cobwebs off the
heavens had its peculiarities further
accumulated by the broad hat which in
many cases was filmy black lace Gre
alton that increased the daintiness of
the wearer.
Then those Easter dresses. Some Of
them may have been of last years vint-
age, but nevertheless they did not look
it and were worn with as much grace
ard distinction as though they were
the very coronation rags" of the
Queen of Sheba.
All colors were displayed in the
! dresses from the blue of the summer
sky to the green of the sea. Natures
rainbows were shamed inro insignifi-
canoe by the riot of color The very
flowers of the florist shops must have
bowed their heads in defeat when they
tried to vie with miladys spring gar
ments of yesterday.
But milady has more than one day
fhis week to display her new clothes;
in fact every day this week she will
be beautifully attired, for it is grand
opera week, otherwise Dress UP"
week. Millinery stores and dress max
ers in Atlanta are said to have done
the largest business in their history
during the last several weeks. Local
trade has not only been heavy, but out
cf-town orders have broken all rec
ords.

Northern factors and brokers have
announced their contentment with the
1915 crop as their playground, and
that because of the unusual unsettled
conditions that they will not tamper
with the 1916 crop.
Circumstances may alter this. But
the fact remains that General Boil
Weevil seems to have gone into COL
fusion with nature to stop the south
ern farmer from his cotton planting
mania.
The boll weevil is here. A confer
ence at Albany on April goth was
held, and this wonderful work will
bring valuable results. Along these
lines is the following editorial from
| the Augusta Chronicle Of April Gath,
which is interesting to every citizen of
the south
THE state board of entomology is
doing an immensely important WORK
for Georgia in its fight on the boil
weevil. The Chronicle has, already
frequently referred to the investiga-
tons being carried out by the State
Entomologist Worsham, in conjunc-
ton with Mr.. R. G. Berckmans, of Au-
: gusta, president of the State Horti-

bumper of 1913.

The only salvation which can come
to the south providing international
questions as they regard us become no
more exciting, is the raising of large
crop of grain with well provisioned
store houses in the fall. The southern
farmer has bought his meat from the
west for years, and stocks his necessi-
stiles with middle western corn.
With the unprecedented yield Of
corn, wheat and oats, coupled with a
reasonable stock of hogs, the south
ern farmer may pass through the fall
of 1916 unscathed provided he can
secure prices for his cotton which is
now being maintained. But that pro
yided" is unusually large

Fuller Galloway, of Lagrange,
well-known throughout the country
as man of finance and prominently
connected with cotton mills because
of his interests in spinning, was in
Americas several days ago. He re-
turned with Crawford Wheatley from
Dawson, where they both attended the
bankers convention of this district.
Mr.. Galloway was plain in his praise
of this section of the state, and his
tributes to Sumter county were grand
1t was his first visit through this i'm
mediate section in an automobile
During an address at the convention
Mr.. Galloway made known his con-
illusions reached as the result of visits
through the south and west, especially
Texas. He stated that it seemed as if
the farmers of Georgia were making
elaborate plans for the last stand
before General Boil Weevil A bumper
crop is MIR. Getaways prediction.
In rather humorous vein the we'll
known La Grange financier said that
the Texas farmer was planting huge
crop to make up the shortage which
Georgia would show because of the
boil weevil. Coupled with the extra
ordinary efforts of Texas and the last
battle in Georgia, it seems that 1916
will market crop easily in access of
1915 and possibly an equal to the
bumper of 1918.

The crops of southwest Georgia are
in the best condition as whole, which
they have seen in many years.
A representative of the Times-Re-
corder in the past few days has visited
Lee, Dougherty, Calhoun, Terrell,
Webster, Stewart and Sumter. The
stand of cotton generally is the best
which this section has witnessed in
many years Most every section has
chopped a considerable amount of cot
ton and this week will find chopping
under full sway.
The acreage is as much as last year,
if not any more. The farming appears
to have been carried on with more sys-
tenn and determination to make the
bests of every resource and implement
Sumter county holds the palm as to
the amount of grain planted The
western section of the county presents
endless fields of wavy grain which is

Southwest Georgia Crops
In Excellent Shape With
Summer Leading In Grain

lcultural Society, and Hon. John A.
Cobb, of Americas, president of the
State Agricultural Society, both being
also, leading members of the board of
entomology
These gentlemen have been work
| ing indefitigably to hold the boil
weevil in check in Georgia, and it is
believed they are meeting with consid-
cradle success. A few days ago, they
were at Thomasville, pursuing their
lcotton-growing experiments, with a
view to finding, or developing, var
iety that will mature early enough to
avoid damage by the boil weevil. They
are, also making various tests in the
hope of finding a remedy for the weev-
| il, though, so far, it is admitted that
either early maturing cotton of burn
| ing, or turning under, the stalks after
picking, are the only known measures
O; checking the spread of this pest.
I'm the mainline, it is certain that
our farmers cannot do better than to
make careful study of the weevils
habits and to be ever on the defensive
fer, little by little, this pesky insect is
advancing toward the east and north
east. His greatest jump was almost
across the state of Alabama into Geor,
gia, where he was borne by strong
winds more than the usual number Of
miles in one season.
"It seems that the annual rate of the
weeviIs advance, depending upon the
winds and atmospheric conditions, is
from forty to seventy miles, and the
rate of progress he has managed to
keep up despite all efforts of scientists
to stop him.
"In the meantime, it is well enough
to know the weevil when you meet
him; if for no other reason, so that
you may not be needlessly alarmed
over every insect that makes hole in
one of your cotton bolls. The follow
ing official description, therefore, of
the weevil and it's habits is worth filing
away for future references, if you are
interested in cotton culture:
The adult boil weevil is small
beetle with long snout in front, the
whole length less than a quarter of
an inch. Throughout the season it
punctures and lays eggs in the squares
and bolls of the cotton plant The
/ larva is a fat white maggot a little
over three-eights of an inch long when
full grown, and lives upon the internal
tissue of the burrs and bolls The at
tackled squares usually drop off, but
the bolls stay ON the plant, becoming
dwarfed and stunted except late in the
season, when they either rot or dry.
The boil is usually a retreat for per-
| petuation, one boil sometimes holding
seevral of the creatures. The adults
Hibernate in grass, late cornstalks, old
bolls on the plants, in piles of Seed
about gins and other places. There
are four or more generations to the
season, the larvae being found as late
as December. The habit the insect has
Of boring into the plant renders meth
eds of attack employed against other
insects almost useless. ATTEMPTS to
destroy the creatures by spraying and
poisoning have little effect"
