Moses fierson but known more
generally by the first title.
When asked Thursday morn'ng
how old ho was. he replied,
"Sixteen, if you know how to

hinges on successfully crnnbattln

And it has been demonstrated
that thin can he done by the Intel
ligent use of calcium arsenate, In
one form or another. To neglect
to use this poison, nnd apply it ns
directed by tho agricultural scien
tists connected with our state nnd
Federal governments simply means
i ot only a loss of your cotton crop
but a waste of time nnd labor to
try nnd grow the staple nnder boll

The past year farmers In this
section have been convinced that
they can grow cotton under the
worst boll weevil conditions by th*
In elllgent use of calcium nrs n
ate; and with very few exceptions
every farmer in all tho counties
around Athens—and the same ap
plies to other sections of Georgia
nnd cotton-growing states—arc us
ing poison. From personal observa
tion* we know- tho result in this
section has been a most gratify
ing surprise. At this time, while
the cotton crop is Into it Is most
promising and many farmers count
on a halo per aero or better. By
the intelligent and continued use
of poison tho weevil has been kept
down nnd In some fields it seems
ns if the pest has been extermlnn-
Where land was well pre
pared nnd fertilized tho cotton

laden with fruit.
But since tho rocent rains set In
i some farms boll weevils lmvc
appeared in countless numbers nnd
threaten in some sections, to de
stroy the promising crop. But as
has been demonstrated, the '|>eHt

calcium arsenate and It rests with
each individual farmer whether he
makes a cotton crop this year oi
abandons it to the weevil.
But by continuing the applica
tion of poison for about three more
weeks you can conquer the boll
weevil nnd save your crop. The
flood-tide is now upon you, Mr.
Farmer, nnd it Is n flood-tide of.
boll weevils! Shall you take It at
tho flood nnd *mvo your crop or
let it sweep onward, gaining in
force and numbers, and engulf
you? Bear In mind tho hard year's
work you have given to make this
crop and your heavy expenses, and
all that will be wasted unless ynu
keep up your fight for a few more
weeks.
YOU JUST MUST NOT GIVE
UP. Make any nnd every effort to
secure poison and keep the plants
dusted or saturated, it matters not
what be the state of tho weather,
rain or shine. The battle li^won if
you RIGHT NOW press your fight
to the finish. If needs be. draft
your entire family, pitch your camp
in the cotton field nnd make this
last and final struggle against the
boll weevil. Don't lay down your
Gag nnd surrender but fight to the
last ditch, fire your last shot In the
locker, and you can and will con
quer this billion dollar bandit.
