for each plant in the field, are killed
outright.
2. Many more weeviIs that are in
the immature stages, sometimes as
many as hundred for each plant IN
the field, are also killed.
8. The few adult WeeVils escaping
will be weakened by starvation. Most
of them will be too weak to pass
through the winter.
q. The development of the late
broods, which furnish the vast ma
Iority of weeviIs that pass through the
winter, is cut off Immediately.
5. Destruction of the infested
plants with the weeVils facilitates fall
or early winter blowing. which is al
ways good in cotton raising.
Importance of Seed Selection.
One of the next most important
things after fall stalk destruction, is
careful seed selection, about which the
department has already given advice
in the state press. The use OF good
seed, and of pedigreed seed where OBJ
tainable and the destruction Of stalks
in the fall, are the two most import
ant items in boil weevil control. Every
farmer should be assured as to the
quality of his seed for next season.
Any who are interested should write
to the Georgia State Board of Ento-
mology, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga,
for bulletin No. 46 on seed varieties,
and No. AZ on controlling the boil
weevil These will be of material help.

EVERY GEORGIA farmer SHOULD
PLANT SOME WHEAT This FALL

treatment is that with formaldehyde,
which may be used at cost Of not
more than 5 cents per acre.
How To Treat For Smut.
The grain should first be cleaned
thoroughly with tanning mill SO that
smut balls, shriveled grain, chaff, ETC.,
will be removed. After the grain is
clean it may be spread on floor or
a tarpaulin in a layer or pile several
inches thick and sprinkled with a solu-
ton of formaldehyde made by mixing 1
pound of commercial formaldehyde
with As gallons of water. An ordinary
sprinkling can or a spraying machine
is used and the grain is shoveled over
and over until every kernel is wet. The
grain is then placed in pile and COW
cred with sacks, blankets = fe,.s --.e
lin for two hours C3@overnight. 1t is
then dried Sufficiently to be run
through the grill, after which it may
be sown. IL the grain is not passed
through a flaming mill, it should be
placed ina vat or tank of the formal
dehyde solution instead Of being sprin-
kied, The smut balls will rise to the
surface and may be skinned off

Atlanta, September.-(Special)-
The continued and persistent high
price of wheat and -four, and the pros
pect that the same heavy demand is
going to continue for long time to
come, should encourage every farmer
to plant all the wheat he can attend
to this fall.
The Georgia State Board of Ento-
mology, in urging all farmers to plant
wheat, calls attention to certain facts
that must be taken into consideration
to insure success.
The Hessian Fly.
In the first place there is the Hes
sian Fly, which is the boil weevil of
the wheat crop. This insect 1isap-
pears only at killing frost, so that the
only safe way is to delay planting OF
all wheat, rye and barley until after
the first killing frost Where the grain
is planted solely for grazing purposes
only, it is not necessary to wait.
The next most important thing is to
take precaution against smut" All

There are more girls and boys from

whenever you see an active and en-
thusiastic interest along educational

bring them into conformity with chan

Thanks to new discovery made

called ice-mint is said to make any
corn or callous shrivel right up and
lift off easily. Hard corns. soft corns
or corns between the toes can be lift
ed right out root and all after a touch
or two Of ice-mint. It's wonderful.
No pain and not a bit Of soreness
while applying it or afterwards. Peo-

trimming their corns and avoid the
risk of blood poison. Simply get a
