Editor Charlie Benns, of The But
ler Herald, offers us his condolence
over some of the methods in the re
cent primary and says there was
nothing of the kind over his way.

“None are so deaf as those who
have ears to hear, but hear not.”
Some people who reason backward
do not want land values to« increase
because they fear their taxes will
also increase. Somehow, they do not
realize that if the value of property
all over the county went up,the mill-
age would go down. It is the mill-
age that burdens the taxpayers, not
the value of his property.
The Talbotton New Era rn^de last
week the following announcement
over the signature of the new , own-,
ers, Messrs. Culpepper and Brooks
which will be read with interest:
“The New Era Yeels 'a great sor
row in parting with our fonner Edi
tor, Hon. A. J. Perryman, 'who for
seven years, has been editor and
manager of the paper.
“It is with a feeling of regret that
readers and patrons of tne New Era
part with him as their editor. All
wish for hind success in his race for
Solicitor-General of the Chatfhhoo-
chee Circuit.
“The new managers desire to con
tinue the pqpex on the same High
plane on which it has been conducte-
ed by Mr. Perryman for the past
seven years. /
“We shall work unceasingly for
the uplift and betterment of Talbot
county and her peopie. We shall
give our services freely, and gladly
to every cause that pertains to the
improvement of this county in any
way. We sincerely beg of the public
their co-operation in this new field
which we have undertaken. - *
The Herald sincerely regrets the
loss of Mr. Perryman from the
ranks of journalism, which he has
loved and enjoyed so much and has
been the source of inspiration to
many of us.
Congratulations and nest wishes
are extended the new owner anc,
editor, both of whom are held in
high esteem by the peopre or Tal
bot county. Mr. Taylor was recently
nominated School Superintendent of
Talbot county while Mr. Culpepper
is a member of the Talbotton bar
and will continue the practice of law
in connection with his newspaper
work.

far distant when he will polish off

him do.Then if he will V-.eep straight

The Albany Herald, discussing the
suggestion of the agricultural de
partment of the Central Railway
that Georgia has about enough
peach trees now says:
“Quality undoubtedly plays an
important part in determining the
prices received for peaches and all
other fruits. When there are more
peaches than the markets of the
country can absorb, as is apt to be
the case the case as often as a
bumper crop is raised, the grower
whose fruit is of superior size and
reaches the market in perfect condi
tion will usually be able to sell for a
profit, while inferior fruit will hara-
ly bring enough to pay freight bills.
There is no satisfactory solution of
the problem the growers of perish
able products faces when markets
are glutted. Overproduction' usually
means trouble.”
When the Creator had made all

too bad to put into the rattlesnake,
the hyena, the scorpion and the
skunk, so He put all th.-ce together,
covered with suspicion wrapped it
with jealousy, marked it with a yel
low streak and called it a KNOCK

This product was so fearful to
contemplate that He had to make
something to .counteract it, so He*
took a sunbeam and put it in the
heart of a child, the brain of a man,
wrapped these in civic pride, covered
it with brotherly love, gave it
a mask of velvet and a x grasp of

From The Commerce News:
By far the best talk on boll
weevil control that we have ever
heard, was given here a few days
ago to a number of farmers at the
council chamber by Prof. J. H. De-
Loach. His talk was based on theory
and experience. At the outset, he
stated that he had not come to -sell
anything; that he had nothing to
sell; that he did not represent any
body that had anything to sell. He
cume to tell, not a theory, but an ex
perience, and that was just what he
did. He told what he had done and
how he did it. It was not a talk on
“book farming” against which there
is so much prejudice in the minds of
some. And yet, his wonderful ex
perience last year was achieved sim
ply by following tjje plan of the
government.
Mr. DeLoach was employed by the
Armour Company last year and had
control of a farm at Arlington. He
planted 75 acres in cotton and made
76 bales. On the adjoining farms it
took 9 and 10 acres to make a bale,
while he made over
acre,
THE SYRUP MIXTURES
The Madisonian feels like those
people who are making themselves
unhappy over the fear that Morgan
county farmers will overdo the cot-
bale to the
ton, acreage this year are wasting
their time. Much cotton will, be
planted—much ought to be planted-
in the aggregate, but the acreage
per horse, or per unit is going to be
very small, below the prescribed 5 ’
acres. The crop will b'e highly fer-]
tilized and intensively cultivated and:
poisoned. -Much of the poison is al-1
ready bought, especially the arse- (
nate. Some farmers were not willing 1
to take the chance of planting a|
crop until the poison was in hand. !
Weevilnip and Hill’s Mixture have:
both .been given a fair try-out in'
this county, and the results are ex-'
ceedingly satisfactory. It is said that
everyofib who used either poison last -
year will use the same poison this
with greater confidence and in much i
larger quantities. We find the fol- j
lowing in a recent number of the i
Moultrie Observer:
The experiments made at the
Coastal Plains. Experiment Station
at Tifton with the various methods
of poisoning boll , weevils resulted
very mrich as did the experiment at
the Griffin station, except that it
was even more favorable to the use
of the poison in liquid form or mix
ed with syrup.
It is up, to the State College of
Agriculture and the federal agents
to either refute these demonstra
tions or unsay some of the things
they have been saying about syrup
mixtures. It looks very much like it
will change the methods of fighting
the weevil in Georgia from the dust-'
ing method 'to the spraying and
mopping method.
It is pro*bable that the best meth-
of of fighting the weevil depends in
some measure on the seasons, and
that it will be found that the syrup
mixture is best for small cotton and
dusting as good if not better when
the stalk reaches considerable size.
The syrup mixture is simple.
It is also cheaper.
At very little expenses the cotton
crop can be saved in an average
year. There will be more effort ex
pended with the liquid poison, may
be, hut it will last longer. It stands
the rains better.
“But the home is not like it used
to be. Nearly every blessed thing
eaten there is canned these progres
sive, automobile, female suffrage,
club, auxiliary, rummage sale,
church circle, bridge and mah-Jongg
parties and dress parade days. The
music is canned, happiness is can
ned, home influence is also canned
and in most cases heremetically
ealed.

“Gosh! Those were the good old

How He did It.
The plan delineated is very sim
ple. Three applications of poison did
the work. When the first squares d.O*
veloped he began dusting and dust-
at intervals of five days each. After
that he picked up all the squares,
says the weevils that appear,prior
to the formation of squares do riot
damage the cotton. No young wee
vils are furnished by this brood of
weevils because they' have no place
to deposit eggs. They come out of
their winter quarters and die be
fore they lay .any eggs. Sucking the
the buds of the young plant doe?
not damage the plant. He tested this
thoroughly and found that the plant"
thus attacked by the weevils made
as good cotton as those that were
not touched by the weevils in the
bud. The first eggs are laid in the
first squares and that is the tiqie to
begin dusting. If dusting is proper
ly done at that period all the wee
vils are killed: After that when S
applications have been made and
(hen all the squares are picked up.
the fight has been won. He prefers
the dust method in preference to the
liquid applications though he says
the latter is good. Blit the point fie
stressed was that dusting he ^ thor
ough, at the appearance of the first
squares, and then following the
three applications if all squares are
picked up than have been punctured
the fight has been won, and there is
no more dusting to he done during
the year, because all the weevils
have^been killed. Then in November
run a cutter over the stalks and
plow them under and that method
destroyes the weevils that would
otherwise go into winter quarters.
He did not advise the farmers
what to do; He simply told them
what he had done.He is very optim
istic. He says that beyond all doubt,
we can make a hale to teh acre no
matter what sort of weather we
have. Asked about dusting after
rains he said if he could • get eight
hours before the rain fell, that was
all he wanted, and he would. wait
until five days to make the regular
application. He also said that 15 -
pounds of poison was sufficient for
an acre of land regardless of wea
ther-conditions. All who heard Mr,
DeLoach agreed that it was by all
odds the best talk they had 'ever
heard on the subject.

church bells were ringing as you
put the last touches on your Sunday
shoe shine before reporting to your
mother for a final inspection? Down
the street then, between your father
and her nodding to -friends and

unaffected Christian kindness was
abroad that day!
Then the old familiar hyms, in
which all the congregation joined so
lustily, heartfelt prayers and the

Saturday—but what wouldn’t you
give now to have such days back
again between your father and
mother in the old church where they
worshipped God with such simple
faith?
Since those days you may have

may have given up the habit of reg
