varieties is a relatively short one
1t includes College No. /, Cleveland
Big Boil, Hooper's Big Boil, Texas
Curr and Cooks. These varieties
are not wilt resistant, however, and
where the soil is infested by the
wilt fungus, the planting of CoVlng-
ton Toole and Lewis IS will likely
prove the most satisfactory. The
above mentioned varieties will yield
a staple about 1 inch in length. The
varieties that will yield a 1 IA inch
staple are Express and DiXaf1t1.
Among the best of the long staple,
upland varieties which can be
grown with a desirable measure OF
success in our state as this time IS
the Meade. It has length of tlbre
of from H. to 3-4 inches. I'm
fortunately. there is not a close cor
relation between length of staple and
WELD of cotton. In other words, the
short staple varieties have made the
largest yield of lint per acre. AS a
result, there has been a tendency
upon the part of the farmer to grow
strains in wh;ch the line was unduly
short. The situation in regard to
this matter has now reached a crisis,
and so we are making a most de-
termned effort to get our farmers
to grow only a few varieties of cot
ton which will make a relatively
satisfactory yield if handled properly
even in the face of a rather heavy
infestation of the boil weevil. Do
not gather from this that we think
it easy to produce cotton under boil
weevil conditions. 1t is a fight all
the way through. Yet enough has
been discovered to make it certain
that we can grow cotton successful
ly in the face of boil weevil infesta-
ton. and, if we only use the right
varieties and pursue the proper poll
cies with reference to the handling
and management of our lands, Geor-
gia will. in the next few years, be
again harvesting as much cotton as
she ever produced.

they could no longer find food. Most
of the birds were down in the Sunny
South.
Peter Rabbit was, wee bit lone

neighbors who had gone to sleep or
gone away. There would be days
at a time when he could find no
one to talk to.

grumbled Peter as he hunted for
some one TO talk to in the Green
Forest one morning.

who go away to the Sunny South do

But Peter can always find something
to eat, and sometimes it is hard for
him to realize that these others can
not do the same thing.

from Salina, TO 8. Lefty Smith
pitched in his usual style. allowing the
visitors ten hits but for the most part
kept them well scattered. The game
was marked by fast fielding, each

and the Solons coming thru without

In facing Brooks, the Solons went
up against the best hurIer in the Sa-

and plenty in the third inning. Peter

Hahn was safe at first on a choice
play, Peterson being forced at third.
Then came doubles by Bockskopf and
Strohm, with Rose walking in between
which scored three runs, and after
Benn walked, Yendes scored Rose with
a sacrifice fly. Bross was safe on a
choice play but Benn was out at sec

Salina scored three runs in the
eighth and threatened to tie the score
on two doubles and two singles but
with Clegg on second with the tying

FOUR DRIVERS YET TO QUALIFY
Final Day Before Big Races at Indian

Indianapolis, May 29.-The last few
hours are the shortest. At least that
is the opinion of a number of race
drivers who planned a long day of
work IN final preparation for the tenth

yet remained to be done before they
would be willing to pronounce their
mounts in perfect condition, they said,
but all expected to be ready at post
time.
Four drivers are yet to qualify their
cars for the contest. They will take
their trials this afternoon and must
drive at a speed of not less than
eighty miles an hour to earn the right
to compete with twenty-five others for
nearly 100000 in prizes which will
be distributed to the first ten cars to
finish. Howard Wilcox, Frank David

ner are the men who have failed to
date TO get their machines in shape to
