South Georgia A. & M. College at
Tifton, the only state college for men
south of Atlanta, is entitled to ade
quate financial support—a reasonable
share of the state funds to be #ppro
printed for higher education.
A Good Man
The death of Rev. Geo. W. Math
cws marks the transition into that
better world of one of the saintly
men of this earth. Brother Mathews
was not only a preacher of the Gos¬
pel, but he lived it. All who knew
him are unanimous in the statement
that he was one of the most' Godly
men that it had ever been their priv
ilege to associate with. He was pastor
of the Tifton Methodist church dur
the World War and some of his best
work here was with the young men
going off to war. He never failed to
meet the men selected for service,
talk with them and pray with them
and rain or shine, good weather or
bad, Brother Mathews and his good
■Christian wife were always at the
train to bid the young men farewell
and consign them to God’s care and
watchfulness as they departed for
‘.the army camps. Brother Mathews
Was a man of God and most fortu
natc in having for his life companion
a good and true wife whose all also
was on the altar of the Lord.—Tifton

Go After the Boll Weevil

Mexican cotton boll weevil effectively

I a constant battle between the in¬
j sects and the farmers to see which

Ira W. Williams, state entomolo

all farmers in which he says;
“Just before the squares are large
enough for the weevil to puncture
and deposit their eggs, poison should
be applied at least twice and probably
three times in the bud of the cotton.

“Continue your applications during

“Try to get your neighbor to dust,

“We recommend that the farmers
supply themselves with 20 to 30
pounds of dust per acre for the

Dust at night or early in the morn

this time for success.
When you start your regular dust

of calcium arsenate per acre. It will
require more when the cotton is
large, and less when the cotton is
small,
“Use a hand-gun on infested spots.
It can also be used on small acre

For me was born this lovely day.
“ For me the sun enrobes the h,lls
