AFTER THE TICKS.
The county authorities have the
system of dipping vats for the coun
ty completed now and the work of
dipping the cattle of Early county is
now going swimmingly on in every
section of the county.
To the credit of our people, we
have heard of no serious objections
being offered to the enforcement of
the dipping laws, though some few
declare they won’t obey the laws.
The experts who visited our coun
ty in the spring made the assertion
that the county could be cleared of
ticks in one year, and the heavy ex
pense entailed for this year’s opera
tions will not have to be repeated.
We trust that the few obstreperous
ones will investigate tike State laws
and obey them without an expensive
and costly conflict with the officials
who are compelled to enforce them.
Lieut. Commander Read, the Amer
ican aviator who piloted the NC-4
successfully across the Atlantic, has
been enthusiastically received on
the other side. There is un uncon
firmed rumor that the NC-4 will
attempt a non-stop fiight from Scot
land to Newfoundland on a return
trip.
o
Monday night’s attempt by anar
chists to blow up the homes of prom
inent government officials in eight
leading cities of the North, includ
ing the home of Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer in Washington,
ought to awaken our government to
the need of deporting a lot of crim
inal aliens from the United States.
—o
Most of the labor disturbances in
the country are brought about by
alien agitators who have absolutely
no interest in the freedom and pros
perity of pur country. Uncle Sam
needs to get wise to this gentry and
ship ’em out of the country for
keeps.
o
The rains of the past two weeks
have proved disastrous to farms in
this section of the State. Cotton is
the hardest hit by the continued
downpour, and the boll weevil is
hitting a great stride now.
o
Those who travel the roads in
this section at present are perhaps
impressed with the need of perma
nent roadways in Early county.
o
Keep the Early County Fair in
mind and save some of your
choicest farm products for exhibition.
o
In the language of our old ac
quaintance, Grier’s almanac, “Some
lain may now fall.”
o
It is not a question of will Ger
many sign the peace terms, but a
question of when.
o
And Germany hasn’t signed the
peace treaty yet.
SHALL WE HAVE FOURTH OF
JULY BARBECUE?
The State Council of Defense has
made the -request of the Local
Council that Early county have an
old-fashioned 4th of July barbecue
with oratory and other amusements,
in honor of the returned soldier boys
of Early county.
The W. O. W. Camp of Blakely
has expressed its willingness to, spon
sor the affair, provided they are giv
en sufficient financial backing to
make the occasion what it should be.
At their meeting Tuesday night
they appointed a committee to can
vass the citizens of the county and
find out if they desire the barbecue
sufficiently to back them up finan
cially or with donations of meat 3,
etc.
Our returning soldier boys de
serve some manifestation of our ap
preciation for their services in be
half of humanity, and no more ap
propriate way of doing this than a
big public gathering and barbecue
has been suggested—and the Na
tion’s birthday, July 4th, is surely an
appropriate time.
Messrs. *E. B. Wills, J. E. Hayes
and G. W. Kenney compose the
Woodmen’s committee. Help them
with their task.
17-YEAR LOCUST HAS
PUT IN APPEARANCE.
WASHINGTON. D. C— Reports
to the department of agriculture
show that the seventeen-year locust
has put in his appearance in nearly
every State east of the Mississippi
river.
Despite the fact that this threatens
to be perhaps the biggest locust year
since 1868 department entomologists
are not alarmed, but they are wor
ried about the army worm.
The locust, they say, does not
threaten the wheat crop or any other
growing thing except young fruit
trees, and these can be saved from
his ravages by proper precautionary
measures.
The army worm, however, which
lias appeared in Texas and began
his march north, is a real danger
to the country’s bumper wheat crop,
they sav.
This worm moves in vast hordes,
destroying grain fields, and the de
partment has warned farmers to be
on the watch for them.
They can be killed by burning
grass over the spots where they ap
pear or by spraying with a mixture
of Paris green.
