Cotton Seed Selection

Realizing that desirable cotton seed
for planting would be scarce and that
mistakes were likely to be made in
planting the wrong seed in boil wee
vii territory, the College of Agricul
ture has had a survey made of the
state to locate all the desirable seed
possible that will be for sale. By this
means county agents and farmers in
general are put in touch with farm
ers having selected seed for sale. The
entire state has been covered by this
survey. ,s " }..

Farmers Institutes

Three or four teams of college eN-
perts go on the road in Georgia after
school closes to hold farmers insti-
tutes Through this effort institutes
are held in the summer in practically
every county. In recent years the
burden of the message of these men
has been preparedness FOR the Boil
Weevil." gt
FARMS Short Course And Conferences
The annual Farmers Short Course
has been designed to meetg boil weevil
problems as well as to better farming
conditions in general. A short course
for farm machinery dealers has been
added to help So1te new problems arts
ing through varying farm practices.
A short course for farm women to
better inform them how to grow veg
etables, and fruits and how to pre-
serve them, how to raise poultry sue
cessfully, etc, is considered as offer
ing something to aiding in meeting diff
ficulties incident to a departure from

travelling Schools

Week long schools are held in vari-
)us parts of the state where farmers
urn students again and attend school
or a week to learn more about all
iinds of farming. Where such schools
ave been held there is always the
,reatest demand for them again. They
lave been the means of creating new
interest, outlook and optimism on the
art of farmers.

CLOTHES FOR
WARDS COSTLY
State Control Board is Worried Over
Prices Which Have Advanced
From rs to 100 Per
Cent

Advances in cotton and wooden
goods prices of from rs to 100 per
cent are causing much concern to
the state board of control. The
board will not be able to furnish the
usual supply of such material to the
state institutions If it is to keep
within the appropriations made by
the state legislature for the support
of the 10000 wards of the state.
Ordinary print calico which for
many years sold over the counter at
cents per yard, is quoted to the
board at ten and eleven cents.
Amoskeag ticking which a year ago
the board bought for fraction over
sixteen cents, is now quoted at thirty
four. Hickory Bingham shifting,
which was 1887 cents per yard, Is
now, 20a cents; Stevens M. crash,
which was 1885, is now 174S cents
per yard. Percales have advanced
from 9A to seventeen and eighteen
cents. Cotton flannel, formerly eigh-
teen cents. is now 321a cents. Check
ed Bingham, which was ~ cents, Is
now fourteen cents. Cheviot skirting,
formerly 9B cents, is now 1914 cents.
The board has been more fortu-
nate this year. however, in growing
crops than last. There Is an excel
lent prospect for late potatoes at a
number of the institutions and the
vegetable crop generally has been
good Institutions have canned large
quantities of fruit and vegetables
during the summer.

made in the stern from the collision
with the snag.
The steamer had on board several
thousand barrels Of apples at the time.
but agents Of the line stated yesterday
that the apples were not damaged. AS
soon as word was sent concerning the
accident Captain Joe and John Streck-
fus started for the scene with the
steamer Sidney from st. Louis and
the cargo was transferred safely to
that boat.
The Dubuque was formerly the
ISttsburg, one Of the best packets OF
the old Diamond 10 Line While the
boat bore It's original name, 1t was
wrecked at st. Louis by the cyclone
some twenty years ago.
Since the Streckfus company took
over the Diamond 10 boats and bust
ness, the boat has been rebuilt and
christened Dubuque, and as such has
become so we'll known that most peo-
pie along the upper river have for
gotten that the boat ever bore any
other name.
For several years the Dubuque has
been used as the ''short trade" boat.

MESSAGE TO ALL
AMERICAN MOTHERS

An open letter has been addressed by
the mothers of France to the mothers
Of American soldiers. To the 100000
of the American soldier boys now land
ed or soon to be landed on French soil.
SOC, 900 of the best French homes are
opened. To each soldier will be allotted
French father, French mother
French brothers and sisters and a
French home. To this home the Am
srieaa boy can 60 whenever absence
can be obtained. Should he become
sick or wounded, this French family
will visit him, care for him, write to
his people at home, will nurse him
through convalescence, will take the
place as best they can of father, moth
er and family. In all respects he will
be treated as an honored son Of the
house. Thus the French mothegs hope
to repay in some degre their bedt to
the mothers of America. "Fear not,
dear American mothers, your sons will
be as dear to us as our sons.' Thus
ties Of friendship and love will be ee.
mented between 100000 French homes.

SNAKE INITIATES MMKMAN,
AND so COW WAS SUSPECTED

Vesper, Wis. Oct Ga reputable
cow, whose honesty has never before
been under suspicion, recently showed
such marked falling off in her flow
of milk that her owner, Julius Kluge,
decided to investigate.
He noticed when returning the COW
into the pasture that she made for a
certain tree. 1t was then that Mr..
Kluge made second discovery, for he
saw large snake coiled about the
cows leg and contentedly initiating a
milk man. The snake was killed and
measured something over five feet In
length.
Snakes have been known to milk
cows before, according to some of The
older settlers, but this snake does not
appear to belong to the species of milk
snake of whitish color that frequently
is to be found side by side with the
more venomous corn snake.

avoid embarrassment to General Per
