Some people in Cedartown have a

There should not be a bale of hay,
a bushel of corn, a pound of meat or
a gallon of syrup shipped into Polk
this yesr. Every bit of it can and
should be raised right here at home
Don’t forget that the State Agri
cultural Department will furnish cal
clum arsenate at actual cost to our
farmers. Get your supply now. There
is going to be a great rush for it
when it is realized just how numer
ous the weevils are this year.
If you try to raise more cotton
than you can take care of under boll
weevil conditions, Mr. and Mrs. Billie
and their brood will get it all. You
have seen men try to farm more ac

a rainy season, but Billie can give

There is absolutely no necessity
for anyone in Cedartown or Polk
county having small pox, typhoid fe
ver or rabies, and very little excuse
for having malaria. See your city or
county health officer, and get inoccu-
lated against both typhoid and small
pox, and if bitten by a dog take the
Pasteur treatment promptly. And if
you will drain your lands so that you
will have no stagnant water, or will
put a thin coating of kerosene oil on
your ponds, you will have no malaria
breeding mosquitoes.

Dearly beloved, we had much rath
er sit in our sanctum and write more
or less classic effusions on “The
Hercness of the Now,” “The Wented-
ness of the Gone," or “The Nowness
of the Hereafter,” but we firmly be
lieve that every newspaper —any
body, in fact, who can write or talk
—has an important duty to perform
right now, and that almost any other
subject can wait. We refer, of
course, to the great menace just be
fore us, Mr. and Mrs. Billie Boll
Weevil and their numerous progeny.
We are constrained to do this by
the knowledge that in every section
where the weevil has wrought ruin,
so few farmers or their backers
would believe that the weevil would
ever hit them —and would hardly
own to it even after they had been
wiped out by it.
It is to try to save the people of
Polk from this fatal mistake, into
which their fellow farmers in other
sections have invariably fallen, that
The Standard is each week writing
editorials on the subject and pub
lishing the advice given by the Fed
eral and State Agricultural Depart
ments. Following their leadership,
we want to strongly urge every far
mer to use calcium arsenate this
year under the Government direc
tions. It will pay you if your land
will raise as much as half a bale to
the acre under normal conditions. If
it will not produce at least that
much, yon had better plant it to
something else or let it lie idle rather
than put it in cotton.
There is going to be the largest
acreage put into cotton this spring
that the Cotton Belt has ever seen,
and were It not that the boll weevil
will vastly curtail the crop the price
outlook would be bad Indeed. Many
farmers are going to try to raise cot
ton without fertilizer, and this is a
hopeless proposition under weevil
conditions. Thousands of farmers
are going to try to "lay by," re
gardless of the fact that the weevil
takes no laying-by time. Oreat num
bers will take a gambler's chance and
ignore the weevil, and it takes neith
er a prophet nor the son of a prophet
to tell just what is going to happen
to them.
There is only one sensible thing to
do if you are going to risk anything
at all on cotton this season, and that
is to follow the Government’s direc
tions to the letter. Get your seed
bed well prepared, and don’t allow
yourself to get in a hurry and plow
your land too wet, for cloddy land
makes poor crops. Fertilize judic
iously. Plant a variety of cotton
that keeps putting on squares, so
that the weevils will have something
to work on while your bottom bolls
are making. Dust calcium arsenate
on the plants as soon as you find
weevils there, for all the left-overs
you kill the less fighting you will
have to do later. Using the poison,
you will have comparatively few
squares to pick up. Cultivate fre-
quenty,and don’t let up on it till pick
ing time. And, whatever else you do,
don’t fail to raise all your own food
and feed stuffs. If you do these
things— all of them— you can afford
to risk five or six acres to the plow
on land that will ordinarily produce
a half-bale to the acre. A larger ac
reage, or a failure to follow the Gov
ernment’s recommendations, means
that the boll weevil will get his
share and yours, too. We know that a
large percentage of farmers consider
this too much trouble and will not
try it, but what Billy and hia brood
will do to them this year will be a
plenty.
A foe to fight? Yes, but victory-
over him by the methods we have
outlined means independence this
year and every year that they are in
telligently and faithfully pursued.
A menace? Yes, but he is going to
cut down the crop of those who will
not listen to reason, and will thus
bring a better price to the man who
does use his head as well as his
hands.
A ouTse? Yes, but every farmer
can turn the curse into a blessing if
he will.
What will YOU do?
Children’s Week.
The week of April 23d-30th will be
known as Children’s Week by the j
.•angelical churches of Georgia, and '
special * efforts will be made to get
the children and young people inter-1
ested ir> church and Sunday school •
work.
It has been truly said that a church
that fails to save its own young peo
ple cannot hope to do much toward
saving the world.
With the fact staring us in the
face that an overwhelming majority
of major crimes are today being
committed by boys and girls under 1
twenty years of age, it behooves
parents, churches, Sunday schools.
and every possible instrument for!
good to get busy.
Children's Week ought to End \

A Good Move
Resolutions by Senator Harris of
Georgia, for publication of additional
cotton statistics, were reported fav
orably last week by the Senate Ag
riculture Committee. The Director
of the Census would be required to
report the number of bales which
probably will be ginned from the cur
rent crop.
At Senator Harris’ urgent request,
this was done last fall, although there
was no law requiring it, and it saved
the farmers many thousands of dol
lars.
Cotton all opened at once, and the
gin reports showed an unusually
large amount of cotton ginned, thus
giving the impression of a bumper
crop. Senator Harris was well post
ed on the situation, and knew that
the crop would really be one of the
smallest for many years. His timely
action then prevented the speculat
ors from bearing the market on the
strength of the gin reports.
The Senate and House will prob
ably pass his bill, and the publication
will then be in accordance with law
instead of depending on the request
of some faithful friend of the farmer
—such as Senator Harris has ever
proved himself to be.
We are told that in a county jail
not a hundred miles from here a
couple of bank wreckers are being
showered with flowers and atten
tions by their “admiring friends.” It
is needless to say that such mawkish
sentimentality is a strong encourage
ment to crime in others. Prisoners
should be treated humanely, but it
is a great mistake to “slobber” over
them.
After as thorough an investigation
as it is possible for us to make, we
have no hesitation in urging our
farmers to at once buy a supply of
calcium arsenate to use on their cot
ton at the first appearance of the bdll
weevil on the plant. It will save you
much work in picking up squares,
just as the use of Paris green does
away with the necessity of picking
potato bugs. With five times as many
weevils as ever before at the begin- ;
ning of a season, it is going to be
necessary to use every possible means
to fight the pests. Fortunately, the
Federal and State Agricultural .de
partments give full and free direc
tions on the subject —and if you are
not going to follow these directions,;
you had better not waste your time
planting cotton.
Haralson’s Victory.
j The Standard last week made brief
mention of the fact that Haralson
| county had carried her 3200,000
road bond issue. The vote was 1,-
| 739 for the bonds, and 491 against.
Many of the opposition voters had
i been deceived by false reports as to
| conditions in Polk—where, as a mat
ter of fact, nearly everybody is well
pleased with the general result of our
bond election, the only dissatisfac
tion coming from the fact that it has
been a physical impossibility to get
to all the roads at once and that no
road can be worked to advantage in
wet weather. Only three districts
gave majorities against bonds.
In the same election Haralson also
voted to repeal her four-dayroad law,
which had proved so utterly inade
quate in these days cf progress.
Haralson did a good day's work,
and her people are to be congratulat
ed on the result of the election. Two
previous efforts to issue bonds had
j failed, and the outcome was regard
ed with some anxiety. The women
voters took an interest in this pro
gressive measure, and helped to put
it over. They often have more sane
and progressive ideas than their men
folks.
The money will be expended in
completing the east and west highway
through Bremen, Waco and Talla
poosa, and in building the north and
south highway connecting with the
Polk section of the Chattanooga-Ap-
palachicola interstate route, receiv
ing Federal Aid in both projects,and
will also improve the roads of the
county generally.
Polk county had a vital interest in
the success of her neighbor in this
election. It extends the great in
terstate highway from Chattanooga
via Cedartown through one more j
county on its way to Florida, and j
there is little doubt that Carroll and 1
other counties to the south of us will
soon fall in line and follow the good
example set by Floyd. Polk and Har
alson in issuing bonds to “do their j
bit” on it. Let the good work go on!
