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. WE MET "YESTERDAY Ben Faul, a .merchant of Spartanburg, I good. Ho is related to the Cunning [hams and other families in this I section. 4 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. FEAR 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. MORRIS YOW Broad St. Athens, Ga. EVERY FARMER with whom we have talked, and who began to use poison before ho chopped out hie cotton, report* very few weerlle and says he had no trouble ln keeping them down. But those who walled until equares appeared to apply calmlum araenato have plen ty of boll weevils and It require, constant and unceasing work to hold tho pest In check. Mr. Miller, our cotton man, saye L. J. Brown of Elbert, Is right about early pole onlng. for there la logic In his reasoning. Our farmers are learn Ing how to mastor or at least con trol the i>est.

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 ble to cover by the excess In 1924 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 comes one bf the happiest surprises which the prospective buyer con fronts. •Whe development of the 1924 Bulck —which the public seems to agree with us Is the most sweplng advance mechanical and body engineering In the history of the Industry—In volved a very great Initial Investment, bet the prices reflect little of the great cost of dies, tests or materials used for experimental purposes.
