THE BOLL WEEVIL CRUSADE
The Banner-Herald presents today several articles
on the boll weevil condition as at present and what
may be expected from the ravages of the weevil for
the jiext two weeks. These articles are written by
I)r. Andrew M. Soule, president of the State College
of Agriculture and Col. T. Lurry Gantt, of this news
paper. Both these gentlemen are authorities on
agricultural pursuits and the treatment for the ex
termination of the boll weevil pest. A number of
the merchants and business men of Athens have made
it possible for the Banner-Herald to issue this edi
tion bjt placing a liberal amount of advertising mut
ter in its columns as un encouragement to the far
mer and cotton grower to keep up the fight on the
weevil'until the crop is made.
This is a critical time with the cotton crop; it can
be made or lost within the next two weeks. The boll
weevillhas been whipped, but unless the farmer
keeps up poisoning and picking up the squares the
weevil'will rally and come back stronger than ever.
A few days of rain will produce an army of the wee
vils, more determined than evei* to destroy the cotton
t;rop. It is a fight to the finish and it is a test of the
ability, of the farmer to overcome the ravages of the
weevil'and stamp out its depredations on the crop
which is now so nearly made.
Every encouragement and assistance should *be
given to the cotton grpwer at this critical period and
with concerted nction and hearty co-operation on the
part of all concerned the fight can be whipped and
.the boll weevil conquered for this season, at least.
TOBACCO RAISING IN GEORGIA
Tobicco raising in South Georgia has grown to be
an important industry arid this year it is estimated
that oyer five million pounds will be grown in that
section of the state. The tobacco crop promises to
be of Alore value than the normal cotton crop and
, less expensive to produce. If tobacco can be raised
successfully in South Georgia, why not in this section
of the state. Tobacco has been raised in Clarke
county and with the proper attention and care it can
be made a crop in this section worth while.
V\ Suppose several million pounds of tobacco were
'■■raised in this section of the state besides thb food
stuff which is now being raised it would not be m^ny
- years before this section of Georgia would become
the garden spot of the country. Cotton has been the
chief product for these many years and our people
had about come to the conclusion that unless they
planted the bulk of their acreage in cotton they
would all starve. The boll weevil, however, dispell
ed this thought from their minds and now they real
ize that a living on the farm can be made without
cotton. Diversified farming.has proven the value of
agricultural pursuits and those engaged in this line
of industry is convinced that money can be made just
as easy from this source as from that of any commer
cial undertaking.
To commence with, a few acres set aside and cul
tivated 1 for the production of tobacco might prove a
paying experiment. Certainly, little could be lost.
,lt is worth the trial and expense to experiment with
a few acres.
LIMIT PRESIDENTS TO ONE TERM
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, has taken the lead In
the advocacy of one term for presidents. The change,
however, would require an amendment to the Fed
eral constitution. The suggestion is timely and
while it may require years to educate the people up
to that line of thought, such a change in our govern
mental affairs is bound to come.
The broken constitution of Roosevelt resulted in
ill health and the bringing on of an untimely death.
The wounded soldier in Washington, Woodrow
Wilson, is a living argument for a one term president
E nnd now before us almost, Warren G. Harding,
broken health and life gone from over work and
burden of the office.
A president is usually plannig his first term for a
platform for re-election or to save his party from de-
feat. He is called upon to shoulder more responsibili-
^^Jies than any human can carry. Few ever leave the
p office of president without being broken finacinally
. as well as in health. A one term office, the president
i would exercise his authority without embarrassment
knowing that he could not hold again. He would de
vote hi* energies to that which he believed to be for
the best interest of the nation rather than building
a political machine. There is every argument in
lavor of the one term for president and we believe
tnat Senator Cummins will find a strong support in
the senate of such a measure should he decide to in-
troduce it
A measure of this kind should not be treated with
c xn* ® partisan measure, but democrats and republicans
plike should give their support to it
