NEW WOOL COTTON NOT
MOLESTED BY BOIL WEEVILS

WAYCRoss, Ca, Sept. 22.-The first
wool cotton ever seen in Waycross
was shown here by Roam Meeks, of
Nichols. This cotton was grown by
Dave Anderson on his farm near
Nichols, and has attracted a great deal
of attention. The seed was obtained
by Mr.. Anderson at the Macon fair last
year. {
The cotton grows in from three to
four locks to the boil and these locks
measure about five or six inches in
length. Expert cotton growers claim
taht one man can pick from 700 to
1000 pounds per day of this variety.
The plant is very similar in appear
ance to the long staple and grows to
be from five to six feet high-the fibre
O. the cotton, however, is short. a nd
looks very much like wool, hence its
name
1t is claimed for this variety of cot
ton that it is practically immune from
the boil weevil, and in support of
this it is claimed that not any trace
of the boil weevil has been found in
the small field of this variety grown
by Mr.. Anderson, while in the nearby
fields of the regular variety the wee
wills were numerous.

GIRLS OPPOSE BOYS
IN DEBATE At THE HIGH
SCHOOL MONDAY

One of the most interesting fea-
lures held at the Canon City high
school for long time was the de-
bate on Monday between representa-
tives of the boys Forensic League
and the girls Hesperia club on the
question. Resolved, That the United
States Should Place an Embargo on
Foodstuffs."
The affirmative side of the quss-
tion was upheld by Misses Theo
Emmerson. Ruth Goodrich and Irma
Milton; while the negative side was
championed by Earl Fulkerson, Will
liam Carlson and Alfred Sinden. Prof.
Gregory presided over the delibera-
tions and Prof. Tuttle was time
keeper. The judges were Mrs. A.
H. Burgess. C. W. Van Patten and
Rev. Guy E. Konkel
All the speakers showed good Plat
form ability and most thorough prep
aration, and did honor TO them
selves and their school. The girls

foodstuffs would be reasonable, ex.
pedient. was necessary and was the
best plan for reducing the high cost
of living. They backed up their as
sertions by liberal extracts from the
Congressional Record. the Literary
Digest, and from other authorities
and produced personal letter which
they had secured from the mayor OF
Boston stating that in his opinion an
embargo was decidedly the thing
thar the country needed. The girls
used excellent English, were logical
in their argument and were perfect
ly at ease on the platform
Tie young men asserted that an
embargo would result in an economic
loss to the country. that it would be
inexpedient and unjust. and would
be base ingratitude to the suffering
millions across the waters The boys
delivered their addresses in clear
ringing tones and forceful language
that made most favorable impress
sion on the judges.
While the decision was in favor OF
orators Of the Forensic League the
young ladies are taking considerable
satisfaction over the fact that the
decision was won wholly on the plat
form ability Of the young men and
not on the argument produced as
shown by the decision of the judges
which was given in the following
language: while the constructive
argument of the affirmative was fully
equal to that Of the negative and the
rebuttal OF the affirmative superior
because of the platform ability of the
defenders Of the negative. the judges
unanimously render their decision il
favor of the negative"
