nIrsY IN TALLADEGA

TAILADEGA, Ala, August l5- The cotton caterpillar is making it's presence known in many portions or TaIladega county now, and the farm CTS are beginning a determined 1lgnt against it. Stalks of cotton rom various sections have been brought to town which have been absolutely strinped of leaves, and there is evil dence where they have attached the young bolls.
 Many thousands of bounds of poison have been put out, and the fight will continue. The wet weath- . CT has lessened the effectiveness Of some of the poison put out the past few days, but those who are ready with the means to combat the new crop to follow, will not regret it.

BEST VARIE TIES Of
PECANS TO PLANT
Climatic and Soil Conditions
Must Be Considered, Says
Experiment Station

The Georgia Experiment Station
is frequently requested to name the
best varieties of pecans to plant
This, seemingly is a simple question
yet it is one very difficult to an
swer even by those who may be fa-
miliar with most of the pecan var
ieties. This is necessarily true be-
cause the desires and personalities
of the growers themselves are just
as variable as the long list Of var
ieties of pecans from which they Sc
lect,
Varieties of pecans behave diff
erently under different climatic
and soil conditions, and this fact
should be cosidered for each local
ity
The Stuart pecan is possibly
more widely adapted and the most
extensively planted variety of the
list. Yet this variety has not done
well on some of the red clay soils
Of the Piedmont section of Georgia,
where it should give places to other
varieties.
The Mobile, generally recognized
as being a very poor variety, fills
out much better when grown on
the Piedmont soils than when
grown on the Coastal plains. It's
habit of early and heavy bearing
has caused many growers to plant
the Mobile in the Piedmont Coun-
try, even though it has other seri-
Gus objections. The Teche is an
other very heavy yielding variety
which is much priced by some grow
ers even though it is nut OF
rather inferior quality.
The Delmas, once very popu-
lar and choice variet y has been
largely discarded due to its suscep-
tibility to the pecan scab.
The Schley which is recognized
as the Queen, scabs to some de-
gree in the Coastal Plains section
while it seems fairly free OF scab IN
the Piedmont region.
The Moore and Moneymaker are
very early and prolific bearers, and
, seem fairly we'll adapted to practic-
allv all sections of the state where
Decans are grown. The Frotcsher
seems we'll adapted to the Triton
sandy loan soils, while the Pa6st
and Alley seem. rather generally
adapted. From the following list

BATHING A La NATURE
