GEORGIA BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY
ANNOUNCES BOIL WEEVIL LIMIT

Atlanta, Ga, December 4.--(Special)
The State Entomologist announces
that the State Board of Entomology.
In cooperation with the Bureau Of
Entomology. United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. c..
has just completed it's survey of the
northern limit Of the boil weeyil In
Georgia for 1918.
The boil weevil has been found this
fall as far north as in the following
counties, beginning on the west side
of the state and running to Augusta:
Chattooga, Floyd, Barlow. Cobb, Full
ton, DeKalb, Rockdale. Newton, Nor
gan, Greene, Taliaferro, Warren, Nc
Duffle, Columbia and Richmond. In a
few OF these counties the boil weevil
was found this year somewhat further
north than it was last year. This will
make the boil weevil line for 1918
about the same as it was last year
For This reason there will be no
change made in the quarantine regula
tions for the remainder of this year
Next spring the quarantine regulations
may be changed somewhat The slow
advance Of the boil weevil this year
in Georgia is largely attributed by
the State Entomologist to the hot, dry
weather we had in July and August
With Us For Five Years
The boil weevil has now been in
Georgia five years and has not yet
covered the entire cotton growing sec
ton OF the state. X has, however, ad-
vanced steadily each year, and IL q
favorable season for the development
of the weevil should occur 1t may
cover the remainder Of the state in
one season. The damage to the cot

was expected to be. 1t did, however,
do considerable damage in number
of counties in the southern part of the
state, where more rain fell than in
other sections.
In cotton variety tests conducted by
the State Board of Entomology in diff
ferent sections of Georgia. the yield
was very good. in fact better than
last year. The yield in these tests
viii average from three-fOurths to a
bale and a half per acre under boil
weevil and wilt conditions, In the
ten-acre boil weevil experiments that
were conducted in over 100 counties,
the yields will run from twO-thirds to
q bale and half per acre. In these

'sLest we Forget is the great screen drama for which the world has been waiting. Its historical signifi- canoe vii make it of value as long as the world stands. For it shows in visible form the great causes back of Americas entrance into the war; The violation of Belgium and the leading of it's citizens into captivity, the wan drals and the inhuman treatment of innocent women and children shown both on land, and in the sinking of the mammoth ship. the Lusitania, are all to be seen in "Lest We Forget"
 The star of "Lest We Forget beautiful Rita Jolivet, was herself passenger on the Lusitania on it's ill-fated trip, and heard thohe inn mortal words of her fellow-passen- ger, Charles Froham, "Why fear death? Death is the most beautiful adventure of Life." Her life was spared to be a living witness to the brutality of the Huns.
 This great eight-act production pro- vides a mighty panorama of events now historical connected with the opening days of the war, and follows its progress through the later thrill ing months. A beautiful love story shines like a star through the dark ness, the roar of battle sometimes seeming like mighty accompani- ment to the human drama being play ed. Many Americans unable to go abroad and engage in actual fighting or works of mercy have wished they might see with, their own eyes a part of what has been going on in Europe since August, 1914. "Lest We For. get," shows far more of actual events abroad during the great struggle of decency against bar barism than any one person, wheth- CT combatant or n-combatant, could ] possibly see. Besides being great love story, it is valuable chronicle of the war.
 The scenes of the Lusitania are especially thrilling. The sailing, the vast crowds of friends wishing bon | voyage to the passengers. "flashes" of the various activities and amuse- ments on board ship, are followed by the launching of the deadly torpedo from the German submarine, the fill ing of the vessel wit hwater and the panic and excitement of the amazed passengers, who are shown plunging into the ocean, some swimming to the small boats, others sinking to the oceans depths.

The purpose of all this is to keep American fighters normal, human Americans while increasing their fighting efficiency-to take to them the best influences of the Amer- can home. j?

Parody: Marching Thru Georgia"
BY Reed E. Hall, Rushville, Ill.
Bring the good old bugle, boys,
We'ell toot another toot;
Then you'll laugh you liver sore
To see the Kaiser scoot;
For he never can endure
To hear that loyal whoop,
When we go marching thru Germany.
Chorus:
Hy-lee-hy-loo, the kaiser's got to go,
Hy-lee-hy-lo, what makes him trem-
BILE so?
Ten million Of our Yankee boys
Will surely lay him low,
When We go marching thru Germany.
Now what's the use of Kaiser Bill
A hangin' on to fight?
For what we're going to do to him
You bet your life is right;
Well teach him he can't trample down
Our liberty and might,
When we go marching thru Germany.
Well take a rap at Hel-go-land,
The base of Bills supplies,
Well celan up on the pesky place
And take it for a prize.
The jig is up, tn die is cast,
Well flay him for his lies,
When we go marching thru Germany.
