Survivors are two sons, John L.
Bussey of Greenville, S. C., and
William Warren Bussey of Au
gusta; three daughters, Mrs. E. G.

Mrs. Bussey was born of one of
Georgia’s old and representative
families. Her great-grandfather
was Jethro Darden, a member of
the Georgia legislature and said to
be the author of many of the
state’s best known laws. Fiftjr years
ago she was married to the late
Dr. Bussey, one of Augusta’s prom
inent and successful business men,
and had lived there since.
Mrs. Bussey was one of whom
it could truly be said “to know her
was to love her”, for her sweet
unselfish nature and kind and
sympathetic heart endeared her to
all who were thrown with her.
Though her generous nature made
her ever ready to listen to any plea
for help, and she was known never
to turn a deaf ear to the sorrows
of others, her heart was centered
in her home and loved ones. She
was a member of the First Baptist
church, and one whose religious
faith was shown by her daily life.

Ceresan Treatment
Of Cotton Seed
Successful
Cotton seed treated with Ceresan
(Mercuric Dust) is showing good
results. In examining the plants
treated the roots are well develop
ed and already branching to give
the plant a quick start in growth.
It is also noticeable on treated
plants that the leaves are larger
and stems longer. Fanners treat
ing their seed have not complained
of their cotton dying. This treat
ment does not help cotton in com
ing up but prevents it from dying
after it is up.
There are approximately 1500
bushels of seed treated in the
County this spring. The effects
show up more prominently at two
stages, namely: when the cotton
is young and at picking time. The
increase last season on treating
60,000 bushels throughout the state
was about 200 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre. The cost of treating
is only ten cents per bushel.
This practice will no doubt be
of value to cotton farmers of the
future.
