IMPORTED INTO THIS STATE

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 3.-Figures
compiled at the capitol show that dur
ing the first eleven months of the year
just passed there were imported into
this first eleven months of the year
ivst passed there were imported into
this state over thirty-fiVe million
pounds if side-park, worth more than
FIVE dollars and over eight million
pounds of dressed beef, worth someth-
ing like a couple of million dollars or
more.
But this means losing to theopeople
of the state of a great deal more than
the seven million dollars actually
spent, for if people raised their own
meat they could make on the whole
many millions of dollars of additional
profit in addition to saving the huge
drain of money that goes out Of the
state now for food.

FARMERS URGED TO ORDER
FERTILIZERS IMMEDIATELY

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 3.-Farmers are
being urged to order out their fretil-
izer shipments Immediately in order
that they may not suffer from a car
shortage, should one develop in the
late spring. Shippers are pointing out
that farmers who delay their orders
NAV find themselves unable to get sup
plies in time to follow the plant early
plan which has been advocated as one
of the most effective methods of fight
ing the boil weeVil.
In view of the unusual demands for
box cars, now being made by shippers
in other lines of business. the supply
OF cars available for the movement of
fertilizers may not be as large this
season as in former years and 1t is
therefore important that shipments of
fertilizer be spread over longer
period
Should the great majority of farmers
wait until the fertilizer is actually
needed to place their orders, it is fear
eG that this in itself might create
car shortage which would cause many
of the INTO be disappointed. Dealers
stress the point that early ordering is
equally important for the farmers who
buy only one ton and for the planter
who buys by the carload.

Paul Tabor, who is we'll acquainted
with the weevil's personal appearance
anr hamits, is also at times. under the
proper inspiration, given to poetic eX-
preston. Recently while endeavOring

struck off in rhyme. This may be
useful TO school teachers. laymen, far

boil weevil. 1t follows:
The boil weevil has slender snOut
With whiskers growing halfway out,
And two small horns like two small

Ever present on both front legs.
And two hard wings, dusky brown,
Except when early spring comes round
And then these wings are ashen gray,
But change to gray another day.
