1 THE BOLL WEEVIL IS NOT WHIPPED
It is too early to lay down arms against the
. -weevil. This is h e migration period and from now
until the close of August, the fight must he kept up
as*strong as it has been since cotton firs sprou
Reinforcement of ammunition and ah Die P«-»' r. v
possess must be injected into the fight to whip the
weevil. Poisoning and picking up .squares must be
kept up until every boll of cotton is open _ and the
fleecy locks laid bare to the hand of the picker. I he
fight has not been won: it is only commenced in
real earnest and the man who steps aside with the
belief that his cotton crop is made and beyond the
danger of the enemy is mistaken and instead of
reaping a bale to the acre he will do well to get one
tenth part. T h o boll weevil is as treacherous as
and Indian and while we are idly-passing him over
he, is doing his deadliest work. It is a hard figSit ;
wc can win but it will require work both tlay and
. night.
With continued rains the rest of the month,
boll weevil will grow and multiply as fast as tlies
in .a syrup barrel. It is plain talk but the time is
. here when there should be no mincing of words m
* giving the alarm of danger which surrounds every
farm in the cotton belt states. An army of boil
weevils can be corraled over nght and their inva
sion on a cotton licit! will lay bear every boll inside
ot twenty four hours. It is an unusual condition:
bright prospects for a good crop of cotton, and yet
without a vigilant campaign against the weevil, the
' ‘ crop will be lost and less cotton per acre, than last
year will be the result.
,, i ‘Keep courage and do not grow over-confident.
1 To'o much confidence will lose the fig h t and give the
victory to the boll weevil. The weevil can be
i' Whipped, but it will require all the determination
nri3 will-power there is in ns to fight successfully
,, agpinst his ravages. In three weeks the fight will be
it won or lost: which shall it be? The answer rest's
;hc cotton gi’ower.
ATHENS MUST BUY BEFORE SHE CAN SELL
ICs high time that business, especially the
wholesale and retail business interests of the
'city, take to heart for a careful study, and for prompt
Ui action the above text. Athens cannot remain a Mar-
[£ ket unless Athens is prepared to BUY as well as
SBLL. At the present time, we should say that Ath-
K ; ens is better prepared to sell than to buy and that
vnfor ears past with the exception of tho cotton crop,
Athens hBS not been interested in the buying of oth-
rr-farm products, but has concentrated her atten
tion upon selling to the farmers in its trade territory.
- But with less cotton being raised and gradually a
surplus of other crops being raised on the farms,
thd nearby trade territory naturally looks to. Athens
as_a market for these other crops. The big question
i of ([permanent, mutual prosperity, both for the farms
I and for the city lies hound tip in the proper handling
of-this condition. Athens must provide a toady
cafih market for all the corn, oats, peas, hay, velvet
beans, peanuts, hog-, cattle, poultry, milk, butter,
eggs, etc., that the trade territory around Athens
can produce and get to market properly prepared. ’

f ifarms may be able to raise and to get to market in
proper shape.
. V With ess and less Co'ton being raised, the need
* of-every farm is for a cash money crop or crops,
This need can be mot when the business interests of
■ Athens are prepared to say to every farmer in this
trade territory: “We are ready to pay you cash and
iat the fair market price, for every bushel of corn,
,oats, peas, velvet beans, arid for every’pound of hay,
(peanuts, butter, etc., that you can produce and put
into Athens in marketable condition.” Already Ath
ena provides a market for many of these commodi
ties. These markets shoultl be more liberally ad-
L poised and extended, and the problem of arranging
i*the prompt marketing of all other commodities
it. now provided with market facilities in Athens
^hquld be quickly arranged.
Other towns and communities are going ahead
th this work on which not only the salvation of
fcuiffarming interests but tho preservation of the pros
perity of the towns themselves depend. Athens can-
«otTlonger depend upon cotton alone for its cotpmer-
■B prosperity any more than the farms in this sec-
'tioh can depend upon cotton alone. The sooner the
fttlgness Interests of Athens realize this fact and
get- to work adjusting themselves to new conditions,
the* better it is going to be for the future prosperity
of this section. In the last analysis the commercial
prosperity of Athens depends upon the amount of
prosperity that resides upon the farms in this terri
tory.
