Municipal suffrage she,sed.

After canyassing the situation, the
women who are hack Of the equal
suffrage movement In this state came
to decision that they did not want
y municipal suffrage bill passed at thia
session of the legislature for fear that
the opposition to the equal suffrage
idea would refer tho bin, and place
two different suffrage issues before
the people at the next election, one on
the constitutional ballot. che other on
the referred law ballot and that it
would confuse the issue before the
voters. On that theory they asked
their friends In the senate TO defeat
both the municipal suffrage bill by SEN
Rtor Atsesh, and the bill granting
woman suffrage on all issues except
tor the officials which the constitu-
ton prohibits their voting for The
Issue came up On the request of Al

on indefinite postponement the friends

How To Treat For Smut.
The grain should first be cleaned
thoroughly with a Tanning mill so that
smut balls, shriveled grain, chaff, etc,
will be removed. After the grain is
clean it may be spread on a floor or
a tarpaulin in layer or pile several
inches thick and sprinkled with solu-
ton of formaldehyde made by mixing
pound of commercial formaldehyde
with As gallons of water. An ordinary
sprinkling can or a spraying machine
is used and the grain is shoveled over
and over until every kernel is wet. The
grain is then placed in pile and GOV
cred with sacks, blankets, or tarpau-
hin for two hours or overnight 1t is
then dried sufficiently to be run
through the drill. after which it may
be sown. II the grain is not passed
through tanning mill, 1t should be
placed in vat or tank Of the formal
dehyde solution instead Of being sprin
kled. The smut balls will rise to tbs
| surface and may be skinned OF.

for each plant in the field, are killed
outright.
2. Many more weeviIs that are in
the immature stages, sometimes as
many as a hundred for each plant in
the field, are also killed.
3. The few adult weeVils escaping
will be weakened by starvation. Most
of them will be too weak to pass
through the winter.
4. The development of the late
broods, which furnish the vast ma
lority of weevils that pass through the
winter, is cut off Immediately.
5. Destruction of the infested
plants with the weevils facilitates fall
or early winter blowing, which Is al
ways good in cotton raising.
Importance of Seed Selection.
One Of the next most important
things after fall stalk destruction, is
careful seed selection, about which the
department has already given advice
in the state press. The use of good
seed, and OF pedigreed seed where OBJ
tainable and the destruction Of stalks
in the fall, are the two most import
ant items in boil weevil control. Every
farmer should be, assured as to the
quality of his seed for next season.
Any who are interested should write
to the Georgia State Board Of Ento-
mology, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga,
for bulletin No. 46 on seed varieties,
and No. AZ on controlling the boil
weevil These will be of material help.

Poor old Cato meant well no doubt
but he was horribly ignorant of the

Atlanta, September-(Special. y
Pick out all your cotton and destroy
all stalks, if possible, at least thirty
days before the first killing frost,
urgeS the Georgia State Board of En-
tomology; for only in this way can
the ravages of the Mexican cotton boil
weevil be effectually checked in the
coming season.
Stalk destruction should be begun
by October 18th and pushed just
as rapidly as possible; for it is the most
important single thing that can be done
in effectively fighting the weevil, says
State EntomoIogist E. Lee Worsham.
Proven BY Results
Results this year show, Mr. Wor-
sham states, that where stalks were
destroyed early last fall, and where
other instructions were followed in the
spring, growers made good crop Of
cotton in spite of the boil weeviL
DR. w. D. Hunter, cotton expert of
the United States Bureau of Ento-
mology, says: "FaII destruction of
weeviIs, Thy destroying the stalks,)
insures a crop for the following sea

The FIVE following reasons are given
for the important fall destruction Of
cotton plants:

EVERY GEORGIA farmer SHOULD
PLANT SOME WHEAT THIS FALL

Atlanta, September-(Special.)-
The continued and persistent high
price of wheat and -four, and the pros
pect that the same heavy demand is
going to continue for long time to
come, should encourage every farmer
to plant all the wheat he can attend
to this fall
The Georgia State Board of Ento-
mology, in urging all farmers to plant
wheat, calls attention to certain facts
that must be taken into consideration
10 insure success.
The Hessian Fly.
In the first place there is the Hes
alan Fly, which is the boil weevil Of
the wheat crop. This insect disap-
pears only at killing frost, so that the
only safe way is to delay planting Of
all wheat, rye and barley until after
the first killing frost Where the grain
is planted solely for grazing purposes
only, 1t is not necessary to wait.
The next most important thing is to
take precaution against smut" All

ire planting. The best and cheapest

IS. Led fight in food production

Says President Soule: Technical
schools, because of the supreme i'm
portance of applied science in the pres
ent war, have already been accorded a
dominating position as material aids
to the government in the solution of
the pressing problems which It IS now
being called on to meet. Hence, 1t
has been urged by sayants every
where that courses in medicine, agrl-
culture and engineering be maintained,
enlarged and varied to meet the needs
of students already enrolled or who
may be enrolled later so as to enable
them to serve their country most eff
fectively.
"The government, through the
President and Secretaries Of War and
Agriculture, has indicated this to be
one of the most patriotic and neces-
sary services which can be rendered
the United States at this time.
MEN Of vision perceive that upon
the close of the war the fiercest indus
trial struggle of the ages will occur
by reason of the changed order of
events which it has brought about In
European countries.
"If this be true, it is more import
ant than ever that the special service
which technical institutions can rem
der be Immediately recognized and the
number of students they enroll greatly
increased so that the United States
may be prepared at the end of the
war through expert leadership to main
tain her position as a producer and
distributor of foodstuffs, raw materials
and manufactured articles"

FASCINATION OF THE UNIFORM.

What, to the feminine mind, is more
fascinating than the uniform of the
American soldier-whether he be pri-
vate or officer, Nothin! say 1 and
"Nothing!" will be the echo of thou
sand feminine threats.
Some people attribute the numerous
marriages of soldier boys to the subtle
fascination of their olive-drab uniforms
and it seems that cautious mothers
ARE more cautious now than ever be-
fore of their young sons who have
rallied to the cause.
Downtown a few years ago young
mother stood on the corner and called
vigorously to her II year old son,
who was across the street-dressed
