BOIL WEEVIL SWEEPS THE STATE

Practical completion of boil weevil in
festation Of Georgia is by far the most i'm
portant feature of the weekly farm report
of the cooperative crop reporting service for
Georgia. ii. j. Brown, commissioner, state
department; u. Il. PettCt, field agent,
United States bureau of crop estimates.J
Only two cotton counties of Importance
now remain ninfested-AIurray and Forsyth.
Since the fortnightly review the following
counties have been infested: Ebert, Madi-
son, Franklin, Hart, Banks Stephens, Ca
toosa Whitfield and HaberSham In other
words, the weevil has reached the limit of
the cotton belt on both the northeastern
ana western corners of the state, with a
small area south of the limits of the zone
in the center, which has not yet been COW
cred.
This recent infestation will have prac-
teal y nothing to do with this seasons crop,
but is OF vast moment to the planters in de-
termlnlng the crop plans for the coming
year. Especially is this true because there
are many farmers in these sections who re-
fuse to believe that the enemy is upon
them, and go far to argue with our
intelligent correspondents who have actually
found the weevil and sent them in for eX-
animation The present advance also de
str6ys forever the falaciOuS theory that the
weeviI will not damage cotton in latitude
as high as north Georgia BY examining ing
the distance covered by the weevil so far

side of the state is in the neighhorhood of

nortance to all cotton growers. particularly
in the states of North Carolina South Caro-
lima and Virginia. This is the marked ten
dency of the weevil to follow the isothern
or temperature line, which bends sharply to
the northward through these states.
Review of Weevil Advance
The weevil reached the Chattahoochee
river late in 1914. The next year a very
great area was covered, reaching as far as
yaldosta on the south and Haralson county
on the north. Very considerable damage
occurred in the extreme southwestern cow

In Exmoor, in the county of Som
erset, in the year Of Grace 1861,
dwelt the outIawed Doones, who,
huge and brutal defied king and
common, committed brazen robber-
les with impunity, and took refuge
after every outrage in the well-nigh
impregnable Glen Doone. On the
nearby farm of Plover's Barrows
dwelt John Ridd, a great limbed lad
who had been summoned home from
boarding school in his teens to learn
that his father, a wealthy farmer,
has been slain in a night raid by
the Doones. John, blunt and honest,
as kind to his mother and his two
sisters, did his share of the farm
work, and as he grew to manhood
learned to ride a horse and shoot a
blunderbuss with unfailing skill.
One day, while yet boy, his fish
ing excursions in Bagworthy water
led him to discover an entrance to
Glen Doone, so secret, SO remote
that the robber band stationed no
guard there, never dreaming that liv-
ing soul would discover it. Follow
ing little cascade, John emerged
at last into a dell blooming with
primroses and beheld with amaze
ment a beautiful child of eight with
hair like a black shower and eyes
full of pity and wonder. Her name
(pretty, like herself) was Lorna
Doone and John often had her in

wester occurred just at the time of the
weevil migration and scattered the pest
almost to the Savannah river. The colonies
thus introduced into territory previously i'm
mune were so widely scattered that they
were unable to accomplish their usual de-
struction. The very severe winter of Ills
destroyed many of the progeny and drove
the weevil back 1t also prevented any very
severe damage in the upper portion Of the
infested area. By. 1918 the weevil had again
reached the previous limit but not much
ter of 1919 was very mild that large
numbers of the hybernating insects came
through the winter in good shape. Not only
that, but the emergence was very early,
allowing time for many generations Of the
weevil. The unusual rainfall during the
breeding season made this absolutely ideal
for the weeyils' multiplication with the
results that we have to announce today.
The two other things of major Importance
In this weekly study are the rapid compile
ton Of the harvest and the rain damage to
cotton in northern Georgia. owing to the
closeneSs with which the pickers followed
the opening of the cotton crop this damage
is not nearly as great as it would otherwise
have been.
The extremely late corn was much bene-
fitted by the rains.
Sweet potatoes in most sections have also
taken on new growth. In some recently de-
veloped sections of the sugar cane area they
tell of great ameliorated conditions.
Fan blowing Of winter grain began in
earnest immefd9tely following the rains
increased acreage will be put into oats,
wheat and rye, which is the logical step.
South Georgia reports that the farm labor
situation Is easing up decidedly. A few
counties mention the wage hands begging
for work
This sketch is taken from the official
maps of the United States and department
of entomology, showing weevil lines to 1918,
and lines for the present season are drawn
according to the reports of the correspond
ents of the cooperative crop reporting serv-
ice. up to Octoper %, inclusive. This re-
port is an elaboration Of the regular weekly

strangely calm Only Carver DOone
could have done this dastardly deed
and as John dashed off in hot pursuit
he swore that the world was too
narrow a place to harbor him and
his enemy another day. For Carver
on his faded horse there was no
escape. His pistol missed fire, and
at last in narrow defie thanked
by a wood and stretch of bog the
two men came to grips. They spoke
little, and that grim duel was fought
with neither knife nor pistol, but
body to body as became two giants.
John felt lower rib crack beneath
Carver's terrible embrace, but his
iron hand ripped the muscles of his
assailant's arm from the bone Ike
an orange pulp and he flung him,
crushed and bleeding, upon the
ground. In an instant the black lips
of the bog fastened upon Carver's
huge limbs, swiftly, silently, and
John Ridd had scarce time to get his
own feet upon firm soil before his
enemy was sucked down into those
grim depths, his face distorted with
agony, but his quivering lips utter

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The cotton market
was extremely nervous and irregular this
morning. Liverpool was better than due,
the weather map unfavorable and the spot
news bullsh, but there was heavy realizing
or liquidation owing to the unsettling in
fIuence of the labor situation in the coal
mines. The opening was barely steady at a
decline of to IS points and active months
sold 80 to 4S points net lower right after
| the call with January touching $500. Trade
interests were good buyers at this level
however, and a quick rally followed on COW
ering which carried January up to 30. - or II
points net higher
The recovery extended to 50 80 for Jan
uary during the middle of the morning, or
6S points from the early low level and %
points above last nights close. The unfa-
vorable western belt forecast and bullish
spot news were factors on the advance but
the tone remained nervous and prices showed
reactions of several points around midday.
The feature during the early afternoon
was liquidation of December, which sold
off to 1916, "a points net lower, while
later months held about 8 to 90 points net
higher.

Sweet Potato Crop Is
Valued at $4,000. 600

The Georgia sweet potato crop is worth
from $4,000 900 to $15,60O,0 00( per year.
While the acreage is slightly less than that
of wheat, a greater value per acre makes 1t
a much more important crop. Practically
every county in the state grows them for
home use.
In the last five or six years the potat to
crop has become n commercial crop Of i'm
portance. The early season of 1919 was
very favorable for the crop but the dry
spell of August brought 1t back to about
the usual average. Recent rains have i'm
proved the crop.
On November 10 will be published sta
tistics showing the proportion of potatoes
by varieties and the amount of commercial
potatoes produced in the state. This state
ment is made by the cooperative crop
