JONES WITHDRAWS WATSON’S CONTEST AT CONVENTION Atlanta, Ga.—After having enter- ed contests on his defeat in the retent primary for congressman from the Tenth pistrict, Thomas E. Watson sought to secure from the state con* vention at Macon a reversal of the ac tion of the county and district refus als to recognize his right to the con test the election, the result being ! that the temper of the convention, which met in Macon a few days ago, which was so plainly inimical to his position, forced the withdrawal of the contest by Watson's representative, J. Gordon Jones, of Cordele. The tilt which occurred when egort was made to enter the appeal before the convention was the live liest feature of the meeting which otherwise was of routine interest on ly. In order to allow the matter to come before the convention it was nec essary to amend the rules governing the meeting; and, this being done, W. H. Burwell, of Sparta, made a strong argument against Watson's appeal. Following that Mr. Jones rose speak but was hissed by the conven tion. He insisted on his right of rec ognition as a member of the conven tion, however; but after paying trib ute to Watson's intellect and writings, withdrew the contest. railms SOLD AND GIMNANTEED BY FORD & CALHOUN, Pinehurst PROPER TREATMENT FOR OAT SMUT Atlanta, Qa., August.—(Special.)— iThe loose smut of oats which is coro- imon in Georgia may cause a great deal lot damage to the oat crop under fa- jvorable weather conditions. In some josses the loss from this disease may :be from 10 per cent to 20 per cent. Since it is so easy to control, there ;Js no excuse for planting untreated tseed and runing the risk of having dis eased oats. Formaldehyde Treatment Take bne pint of commercial for maldehyde to 30 gallons of water; place the seed in heaps on a tight floor and sprinkle thoroughly with this solution as the seed are shoveled back and forth so as to wet every grain; cover the pile with sacks soaked in the solution and leave for two or three hours and then spread out to dry. Caution: The seed should not be left in pilej too Jong, or the germi nating qualities of the seed may be injured. If the seed is to be sown by hand broadcast, it may be sown at once before allowing to dry. As even after drying the seeds are swollen somewhat, it is best to set the ma chine so as to plant enough more seed to make up for this swelled condition of the grain. Treatment of Seed Wheat It is a good plan to treat all seed wheat with formaldehyde solution be fore planting it, as this will destroy the spores causing the stinking smut of wheat. In treating wheat, how ever, use only one pint of formalde hyde to 40 gallons of water; otherwise the method of treatment in the same as for oats. NO LOTTERY WITH W. S. S.
