PESKY BOIL WEEVILS
ARE STEPPING LIVELY
FARMERS ARE COMPLAINING
THAT HEAVY RAINS HELPED
THE PEST IMMENSELY.

The pesky boil weevils are STEP
ping lively these days, if reports that
come to the city are to be credited.
The farmers say that the boil weevil
displays some new characteristics al
most every day. He is the most quiet
and persevering little rascal in the
world while he is at work destroying
the farmers cotton, but he is as live
ly as a drop of water in a hot frying
pan when he is disturbed.
The recent rainy weather has Civ.
en- the boil weevil new lease on life
1t has enabled him to do work thai
he could not have done while the sur
was shining. The rain has made the
cotton stalk take on more life and
makes it easier for the weevils to
hide themselves Besides that, g
great many of the squares which fall
from the stalks are covered up by
the sand, or are washed to the end
Of the rows, where it is difficult to
pick them
Some of the farmers abandoned
the task of picking the squares some
time ago, as cotton became too ripe
for them to do anything in that line
The result is that the weevils are
multiplying much more rapidly than
was expected.
Several farmers stated that in
many sections the boil weevil is go
ing to get more than half of the crop
1t is not combining its efforts to the
small squares, but is boring holes in
the bolls and destroying them.
AS general proposition the re-
ports of the boil weevil damage is
much greater than they were a few
weeks ago. They are also greater
than was expected before the recent
rain set in.
q At the rate which the weevil is
spreading this year the farmers have
poor comfort of doing much with
their cotton in the future.

phorus is one of fourteen elements com

The perfect health of body requires a

But if stomach is deranged - the

SWEET POTATOES HAVE BEEN
ADDED TO THE ARMY DIET
Bureau of Markets Wins Fight to
Have Them on Bill of Fare.

Georgia's state bureau of markets
is responsible for the decision which
has just been reached in Washington,
at the instance of Georgia congree-
men to include the sweet potato in
the army diet. Information that the
quartermaster's department had fin
ally consented to put the sweet pota-
to on the army bill of fare came in
dispatches from Washington Tues
day.
1t was the Georgia market bureau
of the state department of agricul-
ture which first discovered that the
sweet potato had been ignored. 1t
Immediately began not only to ask
the question why, but to insist that
this unjust decision be reversed.
