BOLL WEEVIL
PREPAREDNESS CLUBS
By Andrew M. Soule, Pres. Ga. State
College Of Agriculture
Have you joined the boll weevil pre
paredness club? If not, you should
do so at once. By so anding you
will perform an important public serv
ice, and you will aid materially in the
fight which must be waged against this
miserable pest which threatens the
welfare of the primary industry of the
South. Nothing is accomplished with
out organization. The European war
has given us one illustration after an
other of the effectiveness of people
combining to accomplish a given end.
The day of isolated effort is past. We
must cease to be a nation so thorough
ly individualistic as we have been in
the past if we would meet the exigen
cies of situations such as the boll wee
vil invasion has thrust upon us. It is
true, of course, that many fanners are
still in doubt as to the nature and
extent of the damage w hich the weevil
will do. In fact, there are still a lot
of "doubting Thomases” who think the
weevil will not injure them in the least.
While a dream may be a pleasant
thing, a nightmare is something to
abhor, and the farmers who think that
the weevil will not reach their com
munity or damage them may just at
present be enjoying a pleasant dream,
but they will presently wake up to the
experience of a horrible nightmare
which will unfortunately be a stern re
ality in the w’orst sense of the word,
and something which they will not be
able to escape from except by fol
lowing the very definite advice which
the College of Agriculture is ready to
place at their disposal through the aid
of the county agents.
In, order to arouse the farmers of
Georgia to a sense of their peril and
to inform them as to the best means of
fighting the weevil and to join them
together in a vast co-operative effort,
the policy of organizing boll weevil
preparedness clubs was decided on
some months ago. This idea was orig
inated by Hon. A. P. Brantley, of Black
shear, and its value was so instantly
self-evident that a large number of cer
tificates were immediately prepared,
and are now being distributed widely
throughout the state for the purpose
of securing a representative member
ship in Georgia. If you are not at
present a member of the boll weevil
preparedness club or have not secured
one of the buttons worn by the mem
bers, you should get in touch with
your county agent at once and join
that great progressive educational
force which is destined to aid Georgia
in redeeming herself from the losses
which the boll weevil will inflict. Your
active aid and sympathy is needed in

Silage the
Universal Winter Feed
By M. P. Jarnagin, Prof. Of Animal
Husbandry, Georgie State Col
lege Of Agriculture
Experiments and feeding tests con
ducted by the Georgia State College cf
Agriculture and other institutions
throughout tile United States have
demonstrated conclusively the value
of silage in economizing the cost of
canning all classes of cattle. On ac
count of the long growing season it
has been c ntended by many stockmen
that the silo is not a necessity in
Georgia. It is true that many winter
crops can bp grown successfully and
have played a most important part in
providing green succulent feed for all
kinds of live stock throughout the win
ter months. On farms where less than
ton cattle are carried this is the best
substitute for the silo, but even in the
most southern section cf Georgia there
should be a silo on every farm where
as many as ten cattle are kept. This
necessity will constantly become great
er as the value of lands enhance. An
acre grown in sorghum and kaffir corn
will produce fully three times as many
tons of feed as Hie same acre of land
grown in a soiling crop and cut and
fed green direct to the cattle. Yields
of 15 tons of silage per acre on the
best lands may be expected. Forty
Pounds cl ensilage per day will make
a full feed for a 1,000 pound animal.
Where cattle are fed 120 days this will
require a little less than two and a
half tons per animal for a feeding
period of four months. A small amount
of cottcn seed meal, peanut meal, vel
vet bean meal, or a mixture of these
should be fed in addition to the silage
and some dry roughage in the form of
shredded corn stalks or oat straw
should also be given. Thus it is seen
that from four to seven animals can
be carried during the winter feeding
peried on the silage grown on one acre
of land. The College is in a position
to supply plans and specifications for
silos and also render expert supervi
sion in the construction of these silos,
provided application is received in am
ple time. At this season of the year
farmers should turn their attenticn to
the planting of silage crops. Circulars
have been prepared at the College giv
ing detailed information on this sub
ject.

In Loving Memory.
On the 29th day of July the
death angel visited our home
and teok from us our loving
daughter and sister, Minnie
j Aarons. She was only sick two
days when the Lord said Min
nie come home and rest with
God’s children. We feel sure
she is resting in the arms of
Jesus but we miss her so much
home is so lonely without Min
nie. She said she was going to
die that she loved her people
and wanted us to love her while
she was here and love hi r when
she was gone and smiled oh. so
sweet, oh that sweet smile we
never forget. It is so hard to
give our loved one up but God’s
will must be done. She said
ma our home will not be like it
one was, she would say ma help
me to get better. We did all
that loving hands could do but
God’s will be done not ours.
Minnie bore her suffering with
patience. She joined the Bap
tist church at Friendship at an
early age and lived a true chris
tian untill death. She leaves a
father mother anth3 sisters and
a host of relatives and friends,
to mourn her departure, but we
feel assured our loss is her eter
nal gain. We cannot under
stand why God in his infinite
wisdom saw fit to take dear Min
nie from us just in the bloom
of life when she had always
been so healthy, but we will
some day if we live as she did
We can not see her sweet face
on earth no more it makes us
feel so sad but we pray to Jesus
to 'meet her some day where
there will be no sad parting, no
farewell tears shed, but all joy
and gladness forever more.
Young people take warning
and be ready as Minnie was for
we cannot tell the hour we may
be called from this world.
Her remains were laid to
rest in Friendship cemetery,
Revs. J. L. Wyatt arwl J. M. An
derson conducting the funeral
services in the presence of a
large concorse of sorrowing rel
atives and friends.
Thou art gone from us our
darling and no one can never
tell how it filled our hearts with
sadness when we spoke our last
farewell. “Will you meet me”
was her pleading it was the gen
tie - worde she said “love me
while I am here living and then
love me when I am dead.
We loved her, yes we loved
her, but angels loved her best
and took her from this earthly
home with Jesus forever to rest
A loved one from us in gone
a voice we loved is still, a place
is vacant in our home that nev
er can be filled.
Minnie is gone but not forgot

25 LBS. ON TANLAC.
J Began Taking Tanlac Jan. Ist
and Was Down to 107 Pounds
—Now His Weight is 132 Lbs.
Another wonderful endorse
ment for Tanlac was received
j through the mail recently, at
the Tanlac office, and in many
j respects it is even more remark- [
j able than any heretofore pub-i
| lished.
It is from Dr. M. C. Check, a
well-known optician of Browns
dale, Ga. Dr. Cheek formerly
lived at Hawkinsville, Ga.,
where he practiced his profes
sion, and is well-known’in that
city and section. Dr. Cheek
states that he has spent over
three thousand ($3,000) dol
lars trying to get rid of a stom-
ach trouble, and that he had
been treated by several of the
best specialists of this state and
Chicago, 111., without getting re
lief.
Referring to- Dr. Cheek’s
statement, Dr. E. W. Goode,
the well-known Hawkinsville
druggist, said:
“Dr. Cheek was in my store
a few days afeo, and was conver
sing with some gentlemen re-
tarding the merffs of Tanlac,
and his experience with Tanlac
was so remarkable that 1 ask
ed him if he would object to
giving me a signed statement
for publication. He said cer
tainly not. I wrote the state
ment just as he gave it to me,
and enclose same herewith,
which is as follows:
“ I spent over tree thousand
dollars trying to get rid of a
stomach trouble, and had tried
some of the best doctors in this
state and Chicago, 111, and was
unable to find anything to bene
fit me. The doctors said I had
io be operated on. I lost weight
and was down to one hundred
and seven pounds.
“1 began taking Tanlac the
first of January, and have taken
four bottles. 1 now weigh one
hundred and thirty-two pounds
and can eat anything I want to

How To Use The
TELEPHONE
Did it ever occur to you that you
might not be using the telephone in the
right way?
Do you speak sideways, above, be
low, or six inches away from the trans
mitter of your telephone?
You should talk directly into the
transmitter —not simply at it. Keep your
lips about one inch from the mouthpiece.
Speak in an even tone. It is not neces
sary to shout.
There is much that can be said about
the proper way to telephone, but these
