Ignorance Causes Field and
Woods Burning
After careful laboratory study for
several years the government's for
estry experts published recently a
statement that boll weevils hiber
nate in the roots of cotton stalks,
ami not under leaves and trash in
fields and woods. But it will probab
ly be a long time before the fire
bugs will accept that statement. The
devastation of houses, fences and
grounds covering will continue fora
long time yet, in spite of laws and
sad experience.
Hardly a day passes without
bringing the ruin of some old land
mark within the Circle. Wliht Sher
man failed to burn three-quarters of
a century ago, the “native” of today
is finishing, using- one excuse or an
other. Some of the roads in some of
the counties have for miles upon
miles no reminders of the better
days except the lonesome chimneys
of the old plantation homes. Even
the well curbs have been burned,the
chicken houses and the barns and
smokehouses, everything laid waste
by the fire fiend, who preferred tc
burn land covering than plow it un
der. The boll weevil was the latest
excuse for this destruction, and now
it is announced that he safely
snoozed in his winter home under
ground while the fires roar above.

“Its the most prosperous part of the
county,” people will tell you. The
reason. A new industry started the>-o
a few years ago and added a new
source of income.
“i have paid out to our 350 co-op
farmers $700,000 in the past nine
years,” says Emory Parr, president
of the organization.”
Mr. Parr acts as buying and sell
ing agent. Chickens and eggs are
delivered to him at his store and
he sends them to market, gets the
money and pays it to the owners.
“The co-ops fix my commissions
and any other fees they think 1
ought to have,” he says. “I buy the
feed, and act as the agent, and we
have never had a misunderstanding
or unpleasantness. But if you want
to know what we have developed
through co-operation you must come
and spend a day with us. This will
give you time to learn our system,
so you can explain it for the benefit
of other communities.”
