BOLL WEEVIL PLENTIFUL
IN SOUTH GEORGIA
siorier of Agriculture J. J. Brown,
who is just back from a several days’
trip through several sections of . the
leading agricultural counties of that
section.
“I saw several fields of cotton that
looked fine at first glance,” Commis
sioner Brown continued, “but on ex
amination it was seen the ground was
covered with fallen squares; and in
many places thef armers are plowing
up their cotton in oredr to get rid of
the weevil in time to make some other
crop between now and frost.
“Any reports given out now about
the South’s cotton crop, will be in ex
cess of the real acreage, for the sim
ple reason that many * thousands of
acres are being destroyed by the boll
weevil, while thousands of'others are
lying idle for lack of labor to culti
vate them.
“The bear speculator who bases his
hopes of getting cotton on a bumper
crop, will be sadly disappointed; for
the South cannot and will not, under
present conditions, produce even a
normal crop of cotton.”

“Everything on wheels must be
used and mobilized.
“The automobile is second to the
railroads as an adjunct and supple
mentary to them in collecting and
distributing merchandise.
“Owners should use their cars,
both passenger and commercial, more
and more.’’

WHENEVER THEY DO
Atlanta, Ga., Juno.—A prominent
Atlanta woman went out in search
of a negrow asher woman. She stop
ped at a rather nice looking cottage
where a negro woman was sitting on
the front porch.
“Do you know where I can get a
washer-woman?” she asked.
“No’am. I don’t believe 1 do,” re
plied then egro- woman.
“Conditions certainly are getting
bad in regard to colored help, aren’t
they, remarked the lady.
“Huh.” replied tho negress. “I
reckon dey is, and it’s going to get
Worse. When the Germans win the
war the white folks is goin’ to be
washin’ for us.”
In this connection it is interesting
to note that Dr. Isaac J. Lansing, of
Ridgewood, N. J., has been sent to
the South by the National Security
League to make speeches in eight
states to offset tho eGrman propagan
da among then egroes.
