THE MOST, encouraging reports
continue to reach us from the cot
ton crop. Farmers are vigorously
pressing the use of poison and
thus preventing spread of the wee
vil. S. H. Griffith, on tho Athens
Monroe road, has »ix*.y acres in
cotton. This week an expert In
spected his crop and did not find
a single weevil or grub. He told
Mr. Griffith if he kept up his fight
for two more weeks and could
hold down the weevil he was good
for a bale per acre. Tho same en
couraging reports reach us from
all neighboring counties. E. H. Dor
sey this week took a trip to
Gainesville and says from the car
windows crops look promising.
MR. WOODRUFF, of the South
ern Cotton Marketing Association,
has been oyer our county and says
he Is satisfied the yield of Clarko
this year will be between four ar.d
five thousand bales. Mr. Woodruff
says many farmers are joining tho
association that now controls
around four million bales. Jf they
can Increase the number to seven
million bales the farmer can then
dictate tho price he is paid for his
staple. There Is positively no risk
in consigning your cotton to this
association, for It is protected In
every way and no danger of a
arehouse failure.

S. H. GRIFFITH, of Oconee, has
kept his cotton free from weevils
and has found none this season.
He says he buys puro arsenic at a
cost of 33 1-3 cents per pound and
mixes one pound of arsenic with
three gallons of water an * one gal
lon of mollases. It Is cheaper than
calcium arsenate and ho thinks
does tho work of poisoning better.
OUR YOUNG FRIEND Boh Ash
ford, of Watklnsville, was in the
city this week. Bob says crops are
promising in Oconee and farmers
are all pouring on poison. Both
men and mone on the farms In his
county are organizing co-opera-1
tlve marketing assofiations and
for other useful purposes, and arc
doing good work.
.T. H. BEUSSE has a fino farm
Old Salem, in Oconee county. But
this year only planted 18 acres
cotton but he keeps it saturated
with poison and it promises con
1 slderably over a bale per acre. Ho
has 80 acres of corn on creek bot
toms and it is sure fine. T>is year
he thrashed 2,266 bushels of oats,
360 of wheat, after feeding about
half his shocks to stock, and 100
bushels of rye. He also raised 225
bushels of Irish potatoes that he
sdld In Athens at three cents per
pound. Reports from all over this
section are that a fine corn crop
Is now about made.
OUR FRIEND ABE JOEL has
returned from a trip to Atlantlo
City. New York and through Can
ado. He says ho heard nothing
about hard times while away and
business is prosperous.
SENTIMENT prevails among our
citizens in favor of opening up
Bread street, and If the question
was submitted to the voters U
would be endorsed by a large ma
jority. The Improvements that the
opening of this street would make
in the valuable property on Its line
would soon repay the city for the
cost of the work. And what Is of
even more Importance, It would
relieve the congestion in travel
on tho other streets connecting the
sections of our city. The squares
opened would be made Into one of
our best residence streets.

fliopsE Brothers Announce
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS
J^odgc Brothers have not
simply brought out a com
plete new line of motorcars.
They have done something
infinitely wiser and better
than that.
They have brought new’
beauty, new riding ease and
new mechanical perfection
to the product on which
their reputation as builders
has been founded.
They have built a better
and a more desirable line of
motor cars—yet basically
and fundamentally the iden
tity of their product remains
the same.
The same sturdy engine
under the hood; the same
dependable chassis, im
proved in numberless de
tails, underlies the body.
But the rear springs—now
underslung—havfc been ma
terially lengthened. The
wheelbase, too, is longer,.
and the combined result is
a notable improvement in
riding qualities.
Bodies of all types have b<een
designed to give improved
appearance, and greater
comfort. Lower, longer,
with deeper seats and more
leg room, the lines of these
new cars are low-swung and
graceful—the interiors are
comfortable and roomy.
New head lamps and fen
ders, especially designed by
Dodge Brothers to conform
with the general lines of the
car—a long straight hood
and cowl effect—longer and
wider running boards—un
usually wide doors—com
bination stop signal and tail
lamp—and instruments at
tractively grouped on raised
panel—are a few of the
numerous body innovations
common to all types.
Combining these features
with important mechanical
improvements too numer
ous and technical to enu
merate here, itisnot extrav
agant to predict a reception
for these cars unprecedented
in automotive annals.

NEW BUICK PRICES
CAREFUL THOUGHT
Says Improvements Are
Worth Far More Than
the New Prices Demand.
FLINT, MfCIf. — Announcement of
the Bulck 1924 prices have by some
thoughtless people been referred to
Inerease,” while the fact Is
directly the reverse,” says E. T. Strong
general sales manager of the Bulck
Motor company today.
“It does not require an expert to
perceive that the new features which
the present Bulck series embody havt
been developed and adopted at an ex.
penae far greater han it Is possi

prices over those of 1923.
"So far as the sixes are concerned
bigger car, a more powerful engine,
red signed front axle and springs, 4-
wheel brakes and other new features
numbering In all nearly a hundred,
would seem at flrat glance to necessi
tate prices much larger than those
fixed.
"Thirty-seven material developments
In fours, of which the Bulck four wheel
brake Is a conspicuous example, so
enhances Its value that -the price be

which the prospective buyer con
fronts.
•Whe development of the 1924 Bulck

In the history of the Industry—In

used for experimental purposes. It

know that our own engineers
were among the most aurbrlsed at the
lowness of the prices finally
termlned upon. ■
‘The Bulck list Is‘.based

upon that basis. The reception

ovation throughout the country,* the
Hood of orders that has followed and
the enthusiastic approval of the new

was not over-estimated.”
