THE COLD DIDN'T KILL
ALL THE BOIL WEEVILS

Farmers who seriously contem-
plate increasing their cotton acreage
for no better reason than that this
winters unusually severe cold has
killed all the boil weevils" will do
well to get the opinion Of some real
boil weevil experts before risking too
much on the correctness Of these
sIrmises.
Those weevil experts whose opin-
ions The Herald has heard quoted
declare that while the recent severe
cold undoubtedly killed a great
many adult weevils in Information,
It certainly did not kill them all,
any more than it killed all the flies,
mosquitoes, heas, gnats, bugs,
beetles, moths, borers. worms and
other flying, crawling and creeping
~ ~
things which, either as adults, grub'
or larvae, have been surviving the
cold Of all kinds Of winters for thou
sands Of years.
1t Is pointed out that in its Jour
neyings through other states, par
ticularly Texas, the boil weeviI ha'
experienced the hardships OF wintel
weather very much more severe thar
any it has encountered or is likely
to encounter in Georgia. Nature
has never been SO negligent as t.
fail to bring through the severes
winter a sufficient number OF sur
yivors to replendish every tribe Q
the insect world.
Nature has made no exception II
the case of the boil weevil. We may
be very sure Of that. Many were
killed by the recent freeze, but tn
weeyil experts-those who have beer
fighting the position years, and know
its habits-say those destroyed viii
not be missed next summer.
Don't take a ''long chance" Mr.
Farmer. Keep on the safe side
which you can only do by holding
your cotton acreage down to wha
you can cultivate under boil weevi
conditions. Albany Herald.

Nov that the gardens are killed
out, don't be discouraged, but plant
again, and plant plenty OF Irish
potatoes, and set out lots Of onions
This should be done right away
These two very easily grown neces-
stiles are nov bringing almost pro-
hibisivs prices. With the Florida
crop killed, the prospects are that
they will continue TO do SO. Now
Is the time to plant Irish potatoes
and any time will do for onions.
Don't forget that this is also the best
time TO bed sweet potatoes for slips,
and they are our best family crop
Don't neglect this and have to buy
your slips from q more provident

IL may be a star in her crown, OF
q black mark against her. We
don't know which-opinions vary
but at any rate the fact remains.
Every carnival company that comes
TO Leesburg goes on the rocks. Some
90 broke, some disband. The one
here last week disbanded, or went
into winter quarters. We try to be
as liberal in our views as possible,
but to express it mildly. These or
carnations have Objectionable fea-
lures. Besides encouraging inn
morality their games Of chance have
q strong tendency to develOpe the
instinct, more or less natural with
rs all, TO gamble. We are inclined
to believe our 10-year. old son, in
his last issue of Pruett's Weekly
Journal, gave them a very appro-
pirate name ''The Cheating Carni-
val Co. !"

protest from the farmers, bust

county that the commissioners
called a special meeting at
which was heard the verbal

The prohibition Of exports 20 the north

message received by the State De-
partment to-day from Consul General
skinner at London, the British War
Trade Department has informed the
neutrals that they may not count here
after on the system of licensing for
shipments that has been in practice.

extended, and for time it was be-
lieved that an embargo was intended.
II was later explained that this was not
the case II is now stated that the
British authorities have always re-
served the right 10 refuse licenses in
certain cases.
In addition 10 this move. all licenses
issued 10 Holland and the Scandinavian
countries prior TO October have been
Withdrawn and new licenses must be
asked for, with the sole exception of
those FOR coal shipments.
The special arrangements made with
Sweden have been withdrawn, accord
ing to Mr SINNERS message, and that
country has been placed on the same
