FARMERS ARE WARNED.
AGAINST ARMY WORM
Department of Agriculture Says
Prevention Should Be
Taken

A statement just issued by Ira
Williams, state entomologist, car
ries a warning to farmers of Geor-
gia to take special precautions
against the invasion of the army
worm, the latest menace to Geor-
gia staple crop which recently put
in its appearance in the state. In
creased activities against the boil
weevil and energetic steps TO check
the invasion of the army worm
was urged.
The statement in full is as fol-
lows:
This is the most critical period
of the year, especially in North
Georgia. This crop can be saved
and a full crop made if the farm
ers will poison and continue to poi
son as directed. This crop is late
and should be busted later.
eff the weather is dry, dust the
cotton good so that the weeviI will
not be able to multiply rapidly
when the rains begin. Use a good
buster, and if the infection is
heavy dust every three or four days
until the weevil is under control.
1.-THE state board has a small
amount of arsenate which can be
purchased, but the indications are
that it will not be on hand long. If
you have not a sufficient amount
to dust during the season, place
your order at once.
"The leaf worm, sometimes call
ed the caterpillar or army worm,
has made it appearance in Georgia
and indications are that much dam
age will be done by this pest. Dust
ing with calcium arsenate is one
of the best remedies. Fields busted
for the boil weevil will be free
from invasion by the leaf worm
and all fields should be busted if
1t annears in this section.
"The supplies of calcium arsenate
in this state probably will not be
great. 1t should not be shipped out
of the state. Any person having
any for sale is requested to com
municate with the state board of
entomology"

REVENUE FIGHT NOW'
DOMINATES SOLO NS.
Little Legislation Yet Enacted at
Montgomery, With Many
Tax Plans Offered

, -Aio''J aug q.
by Associated Press Although
Alabama's revenues are the pre-
dominant thought of the general
assembly, now in session, little in
the way Of legislation on the sub
ject has been enacted.
At the winter session of the as
sembly, one bill for levying taxes
was passed by both houses and
signed by the governor, that levy
ing a gasoline tax of two cents a
gallon, half of the proceeds to 90 to
to the counties for the upkeep of
highways, and the remainder to
be turned into the general fund.
The bill became effective in March
of the present year. The PRES
ent session has been the introduc
ton of measure to provide that
that entire proceeds should 90 to
the counties and none to the state.
1t has passed the house.
The summer session has been the
real battle along lines pertaining
to revenue. On the opening day
of the session, Representative
Tunstall, of Dale introduced gen,
eral revenue measure bearing the
stamp of the Brandon administra-
ton.
The fight that followed, chron-
icled as one of the most slashing
attacks ever directed against
measure in an Alabama legislature,
left it battered with amendment
before it passed the house.
The measure is now before the
senate and predicted to be the sub
ject of the upper houses entire at.
tention for the next few days with
floor leaders of the administration
making efforts to restore it to it's
original status.
Whether the house will stand pat
on the measure should the senate
refuse to concur in its amendments
is a matter of speculation. 1t is
believed in the house that the set
Element will come only through
conference committee.
The general revenue bill carries
provisions for converting the
boards of revenue of the various
counties into boards of review in
the assessment of all taxes bv
tax commission would FaNa au-
county tax assessors. and the state
thority to direct changes in the
the assessments.
Other sections of the bill COM
handing considerable attention are
those providing for the abolition of
the office of tax collectors in
counties of the state having a pop
ulation of $4,000 or less and puts
the duty of collecting taxes on the
sheriff; another provides for an
extension of the terms of all asses
sors and collectors for two years.
In the general election in 1926.
tax assessors would be named for
a term of four years in all coun-
ties having populations of more
than $4,000. Another section pro-
vides an annual appropriation of
1925, 1000 for the use of the state
tax commission and another re-
tanning the salaries of the state tax
commission. at $4,000 a year ex-
cept the chairman, whose salary is
increased from $4,000 to $4,000,
