than / per cent infested on Deem
Der 8.
Wheat sown at Adairsville the Same
year on October 2 showed 1913 per
cent infested on December IL; while
wheat sown at the same place Octo
Der 19 showed less than l per cent
of infestation on December H.
Wheat sown at Pomona, Ga, on DC
tober 5, showed 20 per cent of the
stalks infested on December IL Wheat
sown October "a at Pomona showed
no infestation at all on December IL.
From these tests and others GOV,
ering different years, it may be con.
cluded that, as a rule, wheat sown.
in North Georgia from October 20 to
October 80 will escape damage from
the Hessian Fly. In the southern part
Of the state, the date for sowing
should be probably about seven to
ten days later. The proper time for
sowing will vary with the season.
AS a general rule wheat sown Just
after the first killing frost will es-
cape serious damage from the HeSSian,
Fly, provided that all of the volunteer
wheat is destroyed in the fall before
the flies emerge, or not later than
September l.
Summary
To summarize, in order to avoid
damage from the Hessian Fly, we,
would recommend:
LIST. Plant late, October goth to Oc-
tober Goth.
End Burn the stubble of infested
fields, soon after the wheat is cat
3rd. Plow under all volunteer
wheat not later than September /.
4th Practice rotation. of crops
9Th. Plant good seed on land well
prepared and properly fertilized.1 ~

IMPROVING COTTON ARE En-
PLATNED.-SHOULD USE SEED
BEST ADAPTED TO CLIMATE

The value and Importance of plant
Ing only improved seed is now begin
ming to be realized more than ever
before. Under boil weevil and wilt
conditions in Georgia it is half the
fight 70 plant improved seed of a va
riety OF cotton that is. adapted to
your ,.imate and soil There is just
as much difference between improved
seed ard that not improved as there
is tctween improved live stock over
scrubs. Right now when everything
is so valuable is when it will pay to
grow :hc most you can on every Scre

There are three general methods OF
improving cotton, as follows: LIST
crossing or hybridizing; End. indivi-
dual selection or the progeny row
method; mass selection. The Geor-
gia state Board of Entomology in
its work on breeding up early wilt
resistant strains of cotton, uses the
first two methods. Any one desiring
to take up the breeding of cotton in
this way should write to the depart
ment for full details. The third
method of improving cotton, that is,
mass selection, should be practiced
by all cotton growers in order to in
crease their yield of cotton, and main
tain its purity.
| If you are growing two or three
varieties of cotton on your place, go
yer the different varieties and de-
eide which one you wish to plant next
year. fIa,,rP determined on the va
riety to select seed from, go over the
field very carefully and not the diff
ferent types of cotton stalks found
in it. You will find a few stalks
very well frhted, many poorly fruit

Atlanta, Ga, August.-(SpeclaL)--
PLANT wheat, but do not let the Hes
sian Fly eat it up says the Geor-
gia State Board of Entomology.
Food crops Sre more important than
ever, and every effort should be made
to get each acre to produce as much
as possible, and not let 10 to 20 per
cent be destroyed by insects and plant
diseases.
The Hessian Fly, says the State
Board of Entomology. is one of the
most destructive insects Georgia wheat
growers have to contend with. This
insect has been known to destroy from
10 to rs per cent of wheat field. This
damage may be avoided without great
expense; hence the board urges upon
all who are going to plant wheat this
fall, that they follow the suggestions
given herewith:
The State Board of Entomology has
worked out the life history of the Hes
alan Fly, and made sowing expert
ments covering three years There
are two broods of the Hessian Fly
each year. The spring brood energies
between February Il and March %
The fall brood energies between Sep

 Brother O mine? "As good as a boy you used to say, And I was as eager for the fray. And as loatil to cheat or to run away,

 The base hospital for many months has engaged the sustained interest of the earnest women of the community.
