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.

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.

We all know the complete pessimist. Ie is almost us depressing as the pro ’ssional optimist.--Collier's Weekly. 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.

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.

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.
