oilTzWR?
Gone the big preachers—big meet
ings o'er;
Churches now must work the more.
Numbers do not bring success,
Only right living God can bless.
He who lives clean and ne’er forgeta
To try and pay his honest debts
Doesn't class with backsliding flocks
Or stufferi of the ballot box.
April is here—now ain’t that fine!
March acted mean, a-comin' and
gwine
But Mars, you know, gave March Its
name
And “treat 'em rough” is his old
game.
April, we’re sure, will better please—
We hope we’ll miss that Easter
freeze.
The women folks—brunettes and
blondes—
Helped carry Haralson for bonds.
Glad our good neighbors were a-
wake
And learned the proper steps to take.
And soon how nice it will be seemin'
To have good roads clear through to
Bremen.
We’ll feel anything on earth but
meek
Over “Made-ln-Georgia Week,"
For we’ll find fine things to relate
About our great old Georgia State.
But the slogan here the whole year
’roun’
Should be, "Buy It in Cedartown!”
For Why Should You E’er Go to
Roam,
When You can Buy Better Here at
Home?
The death last week of Hon. J.
Pope Brown, of Hawkinsville, took
from Georgia one of her most hon
ored citizens. He had served as
State Treasurer and on the Railroad
Commission, .and was once a candi
date for Governor. At the time of
his death he was Superintendent of
the State Prison Farm.
Charles, ex-Empcror of Austria-
Hungary, died Saturday on the island
of Madeira, to which he and his wife
had been exiled after persistent but
ineffectual efforts to regain thoir
throne. While hia exile would un
doubtedly have been permanent, hia
death removes a possible menace to
the democratization of Europe.
We planted us a garden and
We thought that all was wcllf
And then the neighbors' chickens
came
And scratched it all to flinders.
—Macon Telegraph.
We’re mild of temper aa can be,
And treat folks on the level,
But when those hens came to the
scratch
We got mad as all get-out
The men who overcome difficulties
are the men who amount to some
thing. The boil weevil is the great
difficulty in the way of the fanner
this year. The farmer who does not*
recognige this fact is going out of
business this year, for he can never
recover from the total loss that he
will suffer. It is a hard fight our far
mers have ahead of them, but they
can win it if they go at it with intel
ligence and determination.
By the proposed 475,000,000 state
road bond plan, the people who own
automobiles and trucks and the con
sumers of gasoline would be the ones
who would pay the entire bond issue,
and they would pay no more than
they are now paying. Besides which,
the 5,500 miles of State Highway
that would be constructed would save
the owners of automobiles and trucks
in Georgia *12,000,000 annually in
loss up-kcep and depreciation of cars.
The plan is a fair one, and costs the
regular taxpayer absolutely nothing,
and is the only way in which Geor
gia can continue to get her share of
Federal Aid in road-building.
Faith Re-established.
One of the main points gained by
the ratification of the treaties arrang
ed by the Washington conference is a
re-establishment of our standing a-
mong the other nations of the world,
which we lost when the United
States Senate repudiated the treaty
of Versailles and made a separate
treaty of peace with Germany.
The treaty of Versailles was ar
ranged by our President and State
Department, and duly signed by
them, in accordance with their consti
tutional rights and duties. The oth
er nations who were parties to the
treaty went ahead and acted in ac
cordance with its provisions, and are
today doing so in their relations with
one another. Our United States Sen
ate, simply as a matter of political
spite against President Wilson —as
is now abundantly proven by the re
versal of position of Senator Lodge
and his brother world-wreckers —re
pudiated the treaty, breaking faith
with our allies, making confusion
worse confounded throughout the
civilized world, and placing the U-
nited States in a position where her
word could no longer be given or
taken.
The United States ought to be rep
resented at the Genoa conference,
which is foredoomed to utter failure
or at the best to very limited success,
because we are not there; but when
the invitations were extended, Pres
ident Harding could by no means be
sure that any representative we could
send would be able to speak at all au
thoritatively for this nation. The
most solemn and righteous agreement
might become the subject of endless
controversy and ultimate defeat in
the Senate.
The ratification of all the Pacific
treaties, except the Four-Power Al
liance, by almost unanimous votes, is
most gratifying in re-establishing
our position among the nation* aa
one whose word can be accepted. The
opponents of the Four-Power Alli
ance did good service in showing the
fatal difference between such an Al
liance to settle differences among the
four Powers interested without con
sultation with other nations whose
rights might be affected, and a
League of all civilized nations to en
force peace in all the world. The
constitution of the League of Na
tions, which embraces all the “civiliz
ed” nations except the United 8tates,
Germany, Russia and Mexico, can be
easily amended under its own pro
visions, but the Four-Power Alliance
is for a definite term of years, and
cannot be amended without making a
new treaty. While this alliance is
“loaded with dynamite” for us, our
general standing in the world is un
doubtedly made higher by its ratifi
cation, for we could not well stand
many such assaults on our national
integrity as were made by the Wil-
son-haters in their rejection of the
treaty of Versailles—an outrage that
has cost this country millions of mon
ey and untold suffering, besides our
loss of national prestige.

During the offering of reservations
in the Senate on the Four-Power al
liance Senator Pittman sent to the
Speaker’s table and offered as a re
servation to the treaty a printed
copy of the reservations offered by
Senator Lodge to the Treaty of Ver
sailles. It provided that domestic
questions of the four powers should
be beyond the jurisdiction of the
four-power agreement, and that the
United States should be the sole
judge of what it considered its own
domestic questions. The reservation
was defeated, and one of those vot
ing to defeat his own creation was
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge himself!
No wonder Massachusetts is likely to
repudiate him.

“Can cotton be grown profitably
undor boll weevil conditions?” is a
question that is not only of vital im
portance to the farmer, but also to
the entire Industrial and commercial
life of the South. In the opinion of
those who have given the subject
careful investigation.it is the leading
problem before this section today.
The presence of the boll weevil is a
factor that must be reckoned with in
all future cotton production, as it in
every probability has come to stay.
This means that, in order to grow
cotton, the grower must adopt a new
course of procedure as respects his
methods, of culture, and acquaint
himself with and put into practice
measures of weevil control, if he is
to make a crop.
How to grow cotton under weevil
conditions has been well worked out.
The Bureau of Entomology of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture has
been studying and investigating the
life history and habits of boll wee
vil ever since the insect crossed the
Rio Grande from Mexco in 1892. In
the meantime, careful research and
experiments have been made with the
view of determining what methods of
control, both direct and indirect, can
be used most economically and effec
tively. While no device or method
has been found to entirely exterm
inate the weevil, the Department au
thorities have demonstrated beyond
a doubt that the applicaton of Cal
cium Arsenate, properly applied, will
keep the insect in check long enough
to allow the cotton plant to develop
a full set of bolls.
There are those who believe that
the measures of control as recom
mended and demonstrated by the De
partment of Agriculture are the best
that have been proposed. As an ex
pression of confidence in the practi
cability of these methods of weevil
control, the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road, Geo. H. McFadden & Bro., and
S, M. Bully & Son, cotton factors,and
Citizens & Southern Bank, of Savan
nah, and the Barrett Cotton Co. of
Augusta,in conjunction with the Sou
thern Cotton Oil Company and the
Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co., who
initiated the undertaking, have joint
ly subscribed to a fund to be used in
carrying out such demonstrations on
cotton farms.
In accordance with the arranged
program, it is proposed to conduct
demonstratons at approxmately for
ty-two pointa adjacent to the mill
and factory pointa of the two oil
companies in North and South Caro
lina, Georgia and Alabama. In all,
demonstrations will be carried out
on something like three hundred
farms in the Cotton Belt. At each of
these locations six or eight farms
will be selected on which Calcium Ar
senate dusting operations will be con
ducted and specific directions given
the grower in regard to the prepara-
ton of the land, fertlization, plant
ing, cultivating the crop and the ap
plication of Calcium Arsenate, each
step taken to be in line with the
proved experience of the Delta Lab
oratory of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
At each point where a demonstra
tion is conducted, some individual
employee of the Southern Cotton
Oil Co. or the Virginia-Carolina Che
mical Co., familiar with and quali
fied to do the work, has been select
ed, and will be detached from his reg
ular duties to such extent as may be
necessary to supervise and direct the
demonstration locally, and to this
end an organization as to personnel,
methods and machinery has been per
fected.
The general direction of the work
will be under the supervision of Dr.
A. E. Grantham, Director of the Ag
ricultural Service Bureau of the Vir
ginia-Carolina Chemical Co. and Dr.
T. F. Bargeron of the Southern Cot
ton Oil Co. Dr. Grantham is an ex
pert agronomist, and was for many
years connected with two of the stat*
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations.
“Made-in-Georgia Week” will be
gin May 22d. “Buy-It-in-Cedartown
Week” should be fifty-two full weeks
every year.
Are you going to plant your cot
ton for yourself or for the boll wee
vil? Remember that this pest makes
you more dependent than ever on the
weather. With the most favorable
weather conditions you can’t possib
ly make a crop with more than five
or six acres to the plow, and a rainy
season won’t let you do that well
unless, of course, you use calcium
arsenate persistently.
