taken the greatly needed and
pralswortby task of making Ath

work was th“ rrontfon of a lovely
park at the Seaboard depot and
they will continue until every un

work Is directed at the depots and
other places that first catch tho

through popular subscriptions,
raised the funds to purchase flow
ers and plants for the little parks,
and the railways keep them up.
We consider this one r.f the most
commendable tasks ever under
taken and our city outhorltles and
every resident of Athens should
and doubtless will render the

want to abolish unsightly signs In

THIS WEEK J. W. Morton In
troduced us to J. G. Woodruff, of
Cutbbert, representative of the
Georgia Cotton Marketing Corpor
ative Association, who will make a
campaign of the counties ol
Clarke, Oconee and Walton to add
to its membership. This is one of
the most important works now
confronting our cotton growers and
i very man who raises a hale of
cotton should become a member of
the association, for It Is all that
stands between him and (he Inter
ests that have ever controlled and
fixed the price of our great south
ern staple. Mr. Woodruff tells us
that thev have row signed up some
four million bales of cotton and
they hope before the season ends
to linve signed up about two-thirds
of tho cotton crop. A fnrmor risks
nothing In consigning his cotton
to this association, for It Is not
only safe guarded but he Is as
sured of receiving Llio highest
market price.

WE riAD A TALK this week
with one of the best Informed
in our city or state nhout crop
conditions nnd obtained from him
some very gratifying facts. Ho says
the cotton crop this year will not
exceed ten million bales, nnd bo
expects to see tho staple selling
for thirty cents per pound. Re
bases his opinion on the facts that
Texan. Instead of six million hales,
cannot produce more than three
millions, for the drought has cut
tjie crop short and cotton Is now
opening premnturely. This gentle
man says he hns also Information
from the Mississippi Delta states,
ami the boll weevil la destroying
the crop. In fact .so critical are
conditions there that the planters

The same conditions prevail In
South Georgia. The only section*
where farmers are successfully
fighting *the pest nnd have promise
of a cotton crop Is In this part of
Georgia.
IT IS SURPRISING, hut some
farmers In thin section have either,
discontinued the use of poison on
their cotton or did not use It. Ilut
fortunately their numbers are few.
One of tho largest planters /In
Madison county, wo hear, Is satis
fied that ho has the boll weevil
whipped and has quit poisoning.
Mr. Hutcheson, a farmer near Ft
Lamar, says ho has not usa
round of poison nnd yet has «
most promising cotton crop. My.
Hutcheson says ho kept his plows
going and thus kept down the
weovlls. You should continue pols-
on, for tho weevil Is hero and In
forty-eight hours can destroy the
most promising crop. Jim Morton
says ho nas a very fino crop, hut
he is continuing tho work of pois
on. By all of his neighboring farm
ers using poison they have kept
the post In chock.
