For the reason set forth by the sec

cur in his recommendation that the
entire matter should receive the at
tention of congress. I therefore urge
upon your committee the importance
of action as early as possible, which

LAST COTTON GUESS
: INCREASED THE CROP
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS" ADD
NEARLY 100000 BALES TO
PREVIOUS ESTIMATE.

Cotton production for this year was
forecasted Saturday at 12,675,0O0 bales.
This compares with 100000 bales
forecasted two weeks ago, and crop
last year of 10,139000 bales.
The quantity of cotton ginned prior
tc October 18th is announced as L.
600,S36 running bales, counting round
bales as half bales. This figure COM
pares with 6,409,391 bales the same
date last year, and GOSSIP bales in
1922.
Ginning in Georgia prior to October
18th is given as 668,179 bales.
The condition on October 18th was
SAT per cent of normal, compared
with 53.5 on October |, 1924, 55.4 on
on September 10, 1924, and 47.S on

October LIST was 100000 bales, H.
100000 on September 10, 1924, and
1O,248,O0O October Is, 1924.
The effect of the report was the loss
of a half cent in the price OF cotton
but the market took an up

HOW TO PROTECT
CORN FROM WEEvIL
PEST DESTROYS THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS WORTH AN
NUALLY IN GEORGIA.

The corn weevi1 destroys annually
thousands of dollars worth of corn in
storage during the winter. Prepare
tions for fighting this destructive pest
should be made now, advises DIR. +.
H. Lathrop, chief of the entomology
division.
The crib or bins should be cleaned
out, and the leftover corn should be
removed from bins in which new corn
is to be stored. After the bins are
thoroughly swept out the sweepings
should be burned.
When the corn is harvested it should
be carefully examined. If the shucks
are tight, especially about the tips OF
the ears, the, corn will be protected
from insect injury to large extent,
and should be stored with the shucks
on If the shucks are loose and the
tips of the ears exposed the corn will
probably be found infested with wee
wills In this case the corn should be
shocked at some distance from the
storage bins, as this will get rid OF
many of the weevils before the corn
is stored
The corn should be examined from
time to time during the winter. If Sc
we're weevil infestation develops the
corn should be promptly fumlgated
with carbon bisulhde. This is an IN
expensive method of treatment and
will prevent much of the weevil IN m
Jury to corn in storage. Complete d.
rections for the use of carbon blsul-
I fde may be obtained by writing the

One of the most disastrous of coun-

b. w. Tedder, who lives about five
miles north of Dawson, early Thurs
day night.
The family had just finished the
evening meal, which on account Of
the cool weather had been eaten in
the kitchen, and were sitting IN the
living room when sounds were heard
that resembed heavy footsteps. An
investigation failed to find any one
Returning through the kitchen Mr..
Tedder discovered the entire wall over
the wood box near the stove in a
blaze.
No one was at home except Mr.
and Mrs. Tedder, who tried to extin-
guish the blaze. When they saw that
the fire was beyond their control Mrs
Tedder endeavored to ring the farm
bell but the rope broke and when
help arrived the entire inside Of the
house was in flames. Such a desperate
fight was made to subdue the fire that
none of the furniture or personal eff
fectS were saved.
With the exception of wash stand
one bed and a small amount OF bed
clothes not a single article was taken
from the burning building.
The entire house and all its contents
and several small out buildings, in
Guiding a smoke house with a large
amount of cured meat, were lost.
Mr.. Tedder estimates the loss at be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000, with no in
surance
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but Mr.. Tedder is of the opinion that
it was the work of an incendiary.
