A» to the Future.
C edartown has always had good
reason to be proud of her public
schools, and they have always ranked
among the best in the state. We
have been fortunate in having Prof.
J. E. Purks. one of Georgia’s ablest
educators, as our Superintendent,und
he is each year making our schools
take higher rank.
The erection of our fine High
School building a few years ago was
c long step ir. the right direction, and
this year we will make unotlicr long
forward stride in putting up the
much-needed additional building on
College street for our primary und
grammar grudes and a building for
the primury grades in West End, and
doubling the size of the Bust Cedur-
town building. These new buildings
will give us adequate facilities for
several years to come, though ns Ce
dartown grows our schools must grow
hIho. In fact, the best evidence of
the growth and progress nf a town is
seen in its public schools atid the fac
ilities provided fur them.
Our schools are attracting a good
cluss of people here to educate their
children, and there b no better way
than this to secure development of a
desirable and permanent type.
And now, may teachers und pupils
■alike onjoy their well-earned vaca
tion. and m the CIuhs of 1922 sets
suil on the sea of life, we wish to
each and all, “Bon voyage ”

| Weevils Abundant But
Cajn Be Killed.
1 NO NEED TO GET UNDULY A-
LARMED AND GIVE UP.
Make Preparations to Destroy Early
Weevil*—Much Good Will Result,
Say Authorities of Soil Improve
ment Committee.
By C. A. Whittle.
Just us expected there hus been a
heuvy emergence of boll weevils from
winter quarters. The young cotton
plants arc now harboring and furn-
ishing many weevils with food. But
until the squares, or fruit buds, be
gin to form they will do no harm to
the cotton plant.
Many of tin weevils now found in
and around the young vegetative bud
in the top of the plant will never
live to do airy dumuge to the cotton
crop. Tin days of many oi theHe
weevils on earth arc neur the end,
and they will never set another cot
ton squurc.
Don’t entertain the notion for a
moment that the boll weevils now in
the fields arc laying eggs and hutch
ing out young. They arc not. They
cannot possibly lay eggs that will
batch out until they lay them in
squares or bolls.
The small weevils in the fields are
not young und newly hatched out.
Mature weevils differ in size just
like mature men differ in size. Any
sign considered as evidence of the ac
tive breeding of weevils does not
moan anything ho far us actuul re
production is concerned, und will not
mean anything in that sense until
squares are formed und eggs are de
posited in the squares.
ICIU thr Early Weevil*.
The time to kill the wintered-over
weevils is just before the squares be
gin to form. One thorough job then
will do a great deal of good.
It is not necessary to go over the
young cotton time after time to kill
tin wintered-over weevils. As stuted
previously, many nf them will die a
nuturul death because their life cycle
will have ended before they can do
any harm
So tin* proper thing to do is to sit
Htoarij', und just before the squures
begin to form go for them.
The best und cheupost method fo?
killing the old or wintered-over wee
vils is to dust calcium ursenute over
the young plants This is a pniHon
thut will surely get the weevil No
doubt about it.
It take* very little of the dust
poison to treat un ucre of smull cot
ton plants A dusting machine is not
wen required for this first applica
tion. A cheese cloth bug or a ferti
lizer horn with cheese cloth over tin*
opening, cun be used to make tin-
early application before squares
form. A light tup on the bug or horn
will create a little dust cloud that
will settle in the top of the plunt
when* the weevil is at thut time. Two
to three pounds of poison per ucre
will do the work
Calcium ursenaft is a poison devis
ed by the Government und recom
mended by it us the best boll weevil
destroyer. IViuny methods for killing
wintered-over weevils on young cot
ton huve been tried by the Govern
ment experts,but none were found us
effective as calcium arsenate. The
Stale Bourd of Entomology of Geor
gia has found thut calcium ursenute
dusted on young plants before
squares form is effective in controll
ing boll weevils as well as luter in the
life of the cotton plunt.
Cotton farmers should not confuse
this early application of poison made
by hand with later npplications.which
can only be made effectively by using
special machines designed for the
purpose.
Meanwhile push your cotton along
to rapid growth und maturity with
frequent cultivation, and if not ad
equately fertilized make side dress
ings immdiately after the cotton is
•ihopped out.
Cotton farmers who are prepared
to get dusting machines and who ar<
willing to follow Government instruc
tions implicitly, should get ready at
once to apply poison to the cotton
plants after the squares begin to
form.
If unable or unwilling to get ma
chines and follow Government rec
ommendations, then gather the punc
tured squares at least once a week.

The Calcium Arsenate
Train will be Here.
Are you going to follow the rec
ommendations of the Federal and
State Agricultural Departments in
the use of calcium arsenate on your
cotton ?
These recommendations have been
worked out after yeurs of putient
investigation, and it will pay you to
J ollow them exactly. If you are not
going to do this, you hud better pick
up squares and let the poison ulone.
One great trouble is that many far
mers do not commence the use of cal
cium arsenate until the boll weevil
has them Whipped to u finish. The
Government program contemplates un
early start and a constant light, and
that is what it takes to raise cotton
under boll weevil conditions.
We are only too well aware .that
many farmers consider the applica
tion of calcium arsenate too much
trouble and expense, and that thous
ands of them all over the state of
Georgia ure not going to puy any at
tention to the boll weevU whatever,
and we believe thut very few of that
class will be farming next year.
We cunnot too strongly urge Folk’s
farmers to use the calcium arsenate
on at least n purt of their crop, and
try it out for themselves.
You can get the arsenate —gov
ernment tested—at actual cost.if you
will go to the Central Railway station
in Cedartown on Friday, June &th.
The State Board of Entomology,
which is u brunch of our State Agri
cultural Department, has urrunged to
have a special train here on that day
Inuded with the poison, and you can
get ull you want in 2b, 60, 100 and
200 pound packages at only 9 cents m
pound.
Commissioner of Agriculture J. J.
Brown had the foresight to know the
predicament our fanners would find
themselves this year, und asked the
Legislature for an appropriation for
u revolving fund with which to pur
chase the poison and furnish it to the
farmers al actuul cost. His recom
mendation wus heeded, and we would
strongly urge all our farmers to
take advantage of the opportunity
til us offered.
A big crowd turned out Friday to
see the closing gume of the High
School hall season, the stores closing
in order to help our boys out of the

couple ivf hours. In the meantime our
boys entertained the crowd, and as a
result were a little off condition
when game wus finally called. Hunt
pitched a good game, und Rome owes
her 3 (i to K victory to her star catch
er, Stephens,and to some errors made
by our boys at a costly time. It was
un interesting game, well worth see
