GEORGIA LEADS II IGIMIN’S WEEK
Tennille, Ga., Mar. 28, 1922.
The Geo'ngia Swine Grower* As
sociation will meet here on the 6th.
»nd 7th, of April and we expect to
make this the largest and best meet-
■ng that has ever been held under
t* e Auspices of the Swine growers.-
Tennille is a splendid town of
about three thousand people and has
excellent railroad facilities and i*
easily accessible from every part of
the State both by railroads and high
ways. The highways in this section
nre excellent and we are also locat
ed in the exact center of the State.
The hospitality of the people of Ten
nille and Washington County is
known throughout the State and ar
rangements for taking care of the
delegates and Swine Growers are
perfect. The banquet that will be
given them on the first night will be
grand and will surpass anything
that has been tendered them before.
The arrangements and decorations
for the banquet are amply provided
for and the Committee of which .Mr.
H. L. Pritchard is Chairman, will be
assisted by the various Clubs and
Patriotic organizations of Tennille
and Washington County.
The sale of the pure-bred hogs
will be sold at Boatright’s Stables
and the fat hogs will be sold at the
pens located on railroad tracks.
Boatrights Stables is an ideal place
for this sale and is splendidly equip
ped with seats, etc, and the rain will
not interefre with the sale. Also
the pens here are the most complete
and best arranged of any set of pens
in the State and the hogs can be
graded, handled and loaded with dis
patch. The farmers of this County
will sell about one thousand fat hog*
and the breeders will sell around one
hundred and twenty-five Pure-Bred
hogs and there will be at least three
thousand people here from this
County and surrounding Counties
including members of The Swine
Growers Association.
Arrangements have been complet
ed to feed all of these people, as The
Daughters of Confederacy, The
Womans Club, Daughters of Ameri
can Revolution, Tennille Music Club
Two thousand automobiles valued
at $2,000,000 were stolen in Georgia
during 1921 and only about 65 per
cent of the cars were recovered, ac
cording to reports recently complied
for the Automobile Underwriters’
Detective Bureau by Secretary R. C.
Patterson and announced Wednes
day.
The records show that It cost
about $150 each for repairs on the
recovered cars, thereby making a
total loss to the state of about $900-
000.
Mr. Patterson stated that if leg
islation was enacted requiring every
sale of a car to be recorded as in the
ie of real estate it would serve
materially in reducing the number
of stolen cars.

be here on these dates and we ex

cordial invitation and we promise
you one grand glorious time.
Answers to our "P-Word” picture
puzzle are coming in at a lively rate
and the prospects are that it is going
to be an interesting and 'exciting
game at the end.
They are all working at it, it
seems—the boys and the girls both
old and young, the butcher, the bak
er, the candlestick maker, the
“school-mrfrm”. But who is going to
win the prize? That is what it will
be interestng to see. So don’t be •
“piker" (even if it does begin with
‘p’). Get into the game.
There is no game of chance about
this picture puzzle. It is a test of
good eye and quick wits. And the
beauty about it is that the fellow
with a lot of book learning doesn’t
stand much more show than the fel
low with only a practical education
in the school of hard knocks. < The
former may know what “proboscis”
means but don’t know what a pota
to planter looks like, so there you
are.
At any rate, when they get thru
with the puzzle they will both have
increased their vocabulary and their
knowledge of things “P\ From an
educational standpoint they will be
ahead. From a financial standpoint

they’re not i.lpaer* <*▼>» if
should win no prize. They ought to
have the Cherokee Advance anyway.
There are some of the answers
already received of which we cannot
help but feel that it is too bad that
their authors have not qualified for
the bigger prizes.
All answers mailed so as to be
postmarked April 10, will be consid
ered. The judges will meet sometime
after that date to consider the an
swers and decide on the winners of
the prizes. Their’s will probably be
no mean chore, but their standing as
men of /integrity and sound judg
ment will mean a fair and impartial
decision. The decision of the judges
will be final.
We have been asked by contes
tants who were in a little too big a
hurry in sending in their list of
words, whether they would be allow
ed to send in a second list. This we
have allowed. In fact we invite them
to do so. We want everyone to have
a full and fair chance. Also if they
desire to qualify for a biger prize,
they of course can do so.
In looking over the answers which
have been received so far we find
many contestants who have not fol
lowed the rules carefully. For in
stance one party includes is his list
“photo” and photo-mount’. In the
first place if the word “photo” is
used it cannot be used again as part
of a compound word, and in the
second place “photo-mount.” is not
in the dictionary. In the case of
“pocket-knife”’ that can be used
even tho “pocket’ is used as they are
both complete words.
■Reports are that everybody is hav
ing b jolly good time with the puzzle.
The puzzleman expects to get gray
hairs by the end of the week. Be
sure to get into the game. You may
win the prize.

Washington, March 29.—Georgia
has the lowest percentage of foreign
horn population unable to speak the
English language of any state in
the union, being less than 2 per
cent, according to a report issued by
the department of commerce
through the bureau of census today.
Of approximately 20,000 persons
born outside of the United States
now living in the state, only 285
nre listed as not speaking the Ameri-

represented in the report give figur
es ns high as 50 per cent which is
the case with Texas, with over
300,000 such residents.

What varieties of cotton
ferred?
Any variety which will eat an abun
dance of bolls early and will continue
to set fruit throughout the season. A
variety which Is early but which also
quits fruiting early is net desirable
because the weevils will do heavier
damage to the bolls when they do not
find squares to puncture. Cleveland
strains are most generally preferred
by farmers.
What msthods of cultivation aro
uood to haaton maturity?
Fraqnent, shallow cultivation until
the greater part of the crop ta aet.
Then less frequent cultivation. The
later cultivation uhould be tbe skip-
middle method, taking alternate mid
dles and with the next cultivation tak
ing tbe ones that were skipped. This
keeps half of tbe roots of the cotton
plant undisturbed so that there will be
jess shedding, more squaring and bat
ter protection of the cotton bolls.
KILLING THE WEEVIL.
Is tha poison method of killing
weevil practical?
It la, but it Is a particular method
which many farmers may fail with
when they first try It, because they
are not In the habit of doing particu
lar things right the first time.
If the rules for poisoning are ad
hered to strictly the cotton farmer
will get the most complete and eco
nomic control of the weevil of any
method known.
Any one contemplating the use of
poison should get complete instruc
tions from the Government Boll Wee
vil Station, Tallulah, La.,—the State
Entomologist, or agricultural col
leges.
Does It pay to kill the weevils an
tho young oeiton stalks before squares
begin to form?
If the weevils come out of winter
quarters in large numbers and threat
en to take all the first squares. It
Is considered advisable to kill as many
of them as possible. Calcium arsenate
.sprinkled from a perforated can or
from a cheese bag on the young plants

Cen th* say of cotton be peleened

Tbe Creator has given nil plants the
power to abaorb through their roots
plant food aad to resist all that is aet
plant food. If plants could aot rostot th*
poisons la the soil w* might run a
risk of being poisoned sTory time w*

cotton by offensive odor*?

successfully combatted through Its
breathing organs. It has been sub-

MONEY
IN THE
BANK,
You’ve often heard the quotation.
It is used to emphasize security, stability, certainty.
“Money ir. the bank” means prosperity and security to tha de
positor. It stamps him as a man of importance to his community,
one who conducts his business, be it large or small, gg (tjictly
business lines. It assists in establishing his line of credit, ed that
he may make quicker turnovers on smaller capital.
