«w*jt The VOLUME SIXTEEN \ VIENNA, QA„ THURSDAY. October 19th, 1916. ^Clothes Shop;I jStreet IMPORTANT MEETING NEXT WEDNESDAY — : r-" EVERY PERSON IN THE COUNT SHOULD HEAR THE TALKS AT THIS MEETING. . [ DISTRICT LEAGUE TO HERE IN , An important meeting incident to the campaign against the boll weevil, will be held at Vienna, at 10 o’clock a. m., Wednesday, October'26th, un der the auspices of the state board of entomology, and every farmer and business man in this city and county is urged to attend. There isn’t a man, woman or child in thecounty but is affected by the de struction to cotton wrought by this in sect, and it is important that every known means of dealingiwith the sit uation be studied out and applied in erder that the damage may be^reduc- ' ed to a minimum. ' jji ft Perhaps'the most important ques tion right now is that of the best va v rieties of seed to use to meet the boll weevil conditions. More than 50 per t of a successful boll weevil fight lends upon using thd right varie- of cotton—varieties J that , will iplctely resist disease and mature ip early in the season. These va ries often vary for-different coun- J or sections. . The board of entomology ha3 plan ned a.serie3 of meetings ,each of c i which'will be attended by experts nRjtfrom the department, as well.as from *the Federal States Relations Service' end the-United Sta'tes Bureau of En tomology, at which this, particular e of the. boll weevil problem will e fully presented. Every.fanner hould know just what Varieties of tpon are best suited to his fprm un- er the new conditions. Many other important phases of [the work will be discussed. There is ■uch work to be done both in fall nd spring. The fall work includes irning Under the cotton stalk3 as rly as possible to a depth of four chc3, so as to destroy immature eevils. This should bedone right ow. After the first good frost burn off and clean up hedge rows, ditch- banks, around stumps and outhouses, and burn off swamphtads in the fields. This kills many of theso-which have gone into winter quarters.' Sow a cover crop from which some grazing may be securod and which can be turned under in the spring -to en rich the soil. It is a good plan, too, t>- i lsr t/r. small grain crop of oats' anjl Vf cat, or to grow winter and spring grazing crops for ho :s and cat tle. ~ Advice is given not to p'ent more than ten ,acrc3 to tbo plow- for next seai'i ‘t crop. Cut down th s acreage and diversify—plant other crops For cotton the soil should be thoroughly prepared, early varieties uv.-J, mid ‘ pushed to maturity as rapidly as pos sible. Other instructions will be given re- rding fall and spring work at these meetings. If the methods' outlined are carefully fallowed It will mean a great saving to the farmers and the community. Success depends upon our taking advantage of the infor mation we have and the application of known methods for cutting down the acreage. Where this is done a good cotton crop can bemade. Large Delegation Expected To Be In - Attendance. e Epworth League of the Cordele listrict will Hold its annual confer ence in this city November 17-18-19. The occasion will bring about thirty or forty delegates here for the three days and also a large number of vis itors from the various towns in the district. An interesting program will be arranged for the session which will include several prominent speakers in the league work. As only a month remains before the time set for the meeting, members of the local organ ization are busy preparing for the entertainment of the visitors. As the organization here hasn’t a very large membership any courtesy shown them in taking care of the visitors or help ing to make the meeting a successful cne will be appreciated. b. .in" V lAilTW'O 74 AIRMEN OF ALLIES BROUGHT DOWN IN MONTH NOVEMBER, M’ROVEMENTS FOR INESS SECTION ^ ( / • ■!

Such a commission will be in pur suance of a resolution adopted by the recent Democratic state convention which met In Macon to nominate Hugh Dorsey for governor and to declare the other nominees of the party and udopt a platform. Also, it will be in pursuance of a recommendation con tained in Governor Harris' recent procllmation appointing delegates from the state at large to attend the social workers conference. The need of a central organization to co-ordi- rate and systematize social service work has long been felt. It will not be proposed, however, that the com mission requested by the conference shall entail addftional expense upon the state. - Headquarters for the conference have been established in the Hotel Lanier in Macon in charge of Miss Agnes McKinna, until recently the probation officer of the Juvenile court of Valdosta. Judge W. E.

D. Price has given to the press the following statement, with reference to Geor gia’s crop conditions: “Observj£ion and recent reports convince me that, if anything, my estimate of Georgia’s cotton crop, made in August when I stated it would be ,5185,000 bales, was too high, -I have recently been in South Georgia, where what I saw and heard convinced me fully that 90 per cent of the crop In that section lias al ready been gathered and in some lo calities even more than that. In many' places in the middle section 80 to 85 per cent has been taken out of the fields, while throughout middle and north Georgia there are many bolls yet to open which will produce a com- paritively small amount of lint, caus ed by being forced open before matur ity by continued dry weather. “I am well awaro of tho fact that I could not make an estimate of the crop down to a single bale, pad with the facilities at the disposition of the iepartment, would not for a moment think of attempting to, but my esti mate was made from' reports sent in modern well equipped garage will erected there in the immediate fu ture.

NOTICE TO FAIR c6mMITTEE5 ’ The chalrmeh of the various com mittees appointed to aWft with the work in connection with the County “This department must, of course, e'epend upon the farmors themselves for its information regarding’ crop nditions. It has no paid" sendee nor is there any provision for creat ing one. 1 am glad to say that as a rule the estimates, whichit Jtss made in the past based upon these formers 1 reports have been fairly well proven out by the actual results. It T^a mat ter of peculiar pride to know that the price of cotton has rapidly advanced, as heretofore predicted by this De partment, a fact which will prove blessing to the farmers of this stato, rath a short cro]>. Reports from othor states show similar conditions, adn my own pre diction is that the South will not have a cotton crop In excess of 11, 000,000 bales. Should this prove cor rent, unquestionably the price will range still higher. , “Notwithstanding the good price cotton is bringing, I feel I must warn the fanners, especially in those sec tions not yet infested by the boll t^eovil, that they should begin now to prepare for the coming of that pest another season. The boll weevil has invaded many new counties this year and even where it did compari- tlvely little damage, It will be more numerous and more destructive an other season, i It has been reported at this office, that the boll weevil has readied Newton and Jasper couqtiei in the middle and eastern sections of the state, which means that it will have spread all over Georgia, or the larger portion of it by the next year. "Let me urge you again to give more attention to the raising of live stock and feed and grain crops. This iz your best opportunity to beat the weevil I sincerely hope that every farmer in Georgia who could do eo haa taken advantage of the opportu nity to visit the Southeastern Fair in Atlanta and wiU attend the State Fair in Macon, a whleh there will be some of the most remarkable displays of live stock of different breed* ever shown in the Sooth, and it will afford splendid opportunity for you to form an idea ns to the kind of stock you want and as to the best suited to poor location, and circnmstances. “This department Is still furnishing nitrogen setting bacteria 'for all kinds of leguminous crops at a cost cf 26 -cents per acre. “No special service which this de partment has rendered in recent yean has been of more importance end value to the farmen of Georgia than the opportunity given them to secure at this price the important product for which private concerns are charging snywher* from 11.60 to $2.00. .
