WEEV|L CONTROL
BELIEVED USELESS
IN SOUTH GEORGIA

MOULTRIE, Nov. 24.-That part
of the new boil weevil control meth
cd worked out by Florida entomolo
gists which calls for the destruc-
ton of all squares around June |
all but makes the plan impractical
for south Georgia, according To
farm experts here. 1t is asserted
that the destruction Of squares that
have formed by June means that
the crop will have to be produced
from that date forward which would
give too short a growing season for
this section of the state, it is stated
1t is pointed out that rainy
weather usually sets in early in July
and for that reason what cotton is
made in this territory must be made
by an early date in that month.
Under the early method Of plant
ing adopted in south Geor&;a 'ollCw-
ing the invasion of the boil weevil
the crop is well under way BY early
June.
The Florida system of bod wcevil
control calls for late planting
around April /, so that the stalk
will not be so large by June 1, by
which time it ia estimated thot m; st
of the boil weevils have left their
winter quarters.
y The destruction Of the squares at
that time and a thorough applica-
ton of calcium arsenate undoubtedly
will get most of the weevlls, exreI is
here admit. On the other hand they
argue that south Georgia cottor
farmers because of the prospect of
a rainy period in July caEno'. afford
to get their crop set at 50 late in
the season. 1t is possible that many
growers will try the Florida system,
but modify it to the extent of de-
stroying the squares in May lastcad
Of June, planting at the same time
they usually do, or early in March
At any rate it is certain that a
large acreage will be given to cot
ton in this territory next year and
that more effort will be expended
to combating the ravases Of the
boil weevil than has been in any
previous season.

He wondered if he would find Pad

but you never can tell, There are
sudden and strange disappearance
among the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows, and,
as I said before, it was long time
since Peter had been over there.
So it was with real eagerness that
Peter looked for Paddy. 1t was
moonlight, just the kind of a night
that Paddy enjoys. Peter looked
all over the pond. 1t was as smooth
as glass. Nowhere YVES there so
much as a ripple. Peter was disap-

swimming about.
II do hope nothing has happened

'Of course, he may be in his house
out there in the water, or he may
be somewhere on shore. If he Is on
shore he viii be cutting down a tree.
I'll just sit and listen awhile. If
I hear a tree fall I'll know that it
has been cut by Paddy"
So Peter sat with his long ears
pricked UP, listening. The only
sound to be heard was the rustling
of falling leaf now and then. Pc

Could it be that something had hap

wished that he could dive and go
into Paddy's house, just to satisfy
his curiosity. OF course. it was a
foolish wish. He couldn't dive. In
fact, it was all he could do to swim
a little way on the surface, and he
never did that unless he was forced
to. Peter doesn't like water.
By and by Peter started on again.
Presently he came to the stump of
a small tree. His heart gave a
bound Of joy. He knew by the looks
Of that stump that it had been cut
very recently and that it had been
cut by Paddy the Beaver. No one
else could have cut tree like that.
1t was all the proof Peter needed
that Paddy was somewhere about.
Once more Peter sat down on the
