FARMERS WARNED TO PREPARE I
.f-i FOR BOLL WEEVIL INVASION
That more boll weevils have
gone into hibernation this fall than
at any time since the advent of
this pest into the state, was the
statement of J. Phil Campbell,
director of extension work of the
State College of Agriculture, after
an investigation in all parts of the
state last week.
(< If those who are of the opinion
that the boll weevil is a thing of
the past had only gone into their
fields before the recent hilling
frost, they would have found
more weevils than they had ever
seen before,” he said.
Winter Quarters.
“The cold of the past few days,
■continued Director Campbell, “has
•driven the weevils into winter
■quarters, and nothing can be done
now to prevent the greatest
emergence in the spring farmers
have ever witnessed. .
u It is too late for turning under
stalks to do any good so far as
the weevil is concerned, and the
only thing to be done now is stock
up with a good supply of calcium
arsenate during the winter, ai)d be
prepared to carry on the fight
next spring.
Investigation shows that Geor
gia farmers purchased about fif
teen million pounds of calcium

“UNITY FOR SERVICE >>
.V.
On Thursday of this week we
celebrate Thanksgiving Day. Do
you ever stop to think of the
many things for which you should
be thankful?
This is a good old world in
which we live and Griffin is the
best little town in this old world.
We should be thankful that we
live in the United States, the
home of the free; we should be
thankful that we live in Griffin
and in the state of Georgia; we
should be thankful that there has
come to us the wonderful spirit
of service as expressed in our
Exchange Club.
It is an astounding fact that
the average heart beats 36,000,
000 strokes every 12 months,
working, resting or sleeping.
(Ask Gabe, Sport or Bill Hawk
if you don’t believe it.) In that
short period it does sufficient
work to fire with their present
velocity a dozen of the largest
projectiles that were used in the
war, or lift a light cruiser en
tirely out of the water.
If such is the energy of a sin
gle man’s heart, what must be
the aggregate force of the heaxt
beats of the men in this Exchange
Club ?
If it were concentrated into
one explosion it would he suffi
cient to destroy the Kiel.Caqal.

let’s stick together.

In the last two issues of this
more or less yellow sheet, Ye Ed

about “Opportunity.” Here’s an
other shot at the same target.
“Waiting for an opportunity is
like fishing for a four pound lake
trout without a hook on the end
of yoUr line. Give some men a
dozen years right in the most fer
tile valley on the American con
tinesnt and they will come opt of
this garden spot of opportunity
with two sprays of poison ivy
and a handful of worthless
weeds.

opportunity for service and for
good' fellowship.

should put of the club?
