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 «?ai 1 K would be a drawing card if some enterprising mntimi picture producer could frame up a reel with *Vther Coolidge, a notary public, swearing in his son president of the United States at 2 a. m„ on his larm in Vermont.
