certain times, or in certain occu

at tho eight hour rate.
“2. A uniform increase of ten

DISREGARDS
OPERATOR8
Most of the contentions hitherto
advanced by the operators' grouf
were disregarded In the governor'l
proposal particularly In the failure
to suggest any present arbitration
There was also In spite of a gen
erally more receptive attitude to
wards the untlmatum on the par'
of the union representatives some
question evident. This was turned
against ths governor’s proposal t*
make th« scale commltee and the
anthracite condllatldn board tri
bunals the agencies to apply th«
proposals.
Likewise, the eight-hour daj
agreement has difficulties In ap
Plication. A 10 per cent increase
In hourly wages will not compen
sate men now working 10. and I!
hours per day if their worklnf
time Is reduced to tight hours ant
they are given no epecIM rate.
The full union demand was. fot
a 20 per cent Increase In the con
tract rates, nhd for If a day to the

Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president

cotton growers of the migration
of the boll weevil and urged that
dusting and poisoning be kept up
/or at least two weeks longer. He
said that the boll weevil was mi
grating and the best crop of cotton
the farmers had made In three
years could be destroyed within the
next few days. He deplored th-
losing of a crop practically mudr
on account-of the failure of the
farmers to continue working on«’
poisoning. He said reports from
his demonstration agenta from sec

crop of 809,000 hales of cetton

Couty Demonstration Agent,
J. W. Firor In an address be
fore the Athens Rotary club
Wednesday not only forcast
the crop production In this
county for this year but gave
some Interesting figures on
farnffng.
In part he spoke os follows:
Hamers of Clarke county
started the present crop season
under very unfmvohible weath
er conditions. The months of
March. April and May, pro
duced very few days, really
suitable to preparation and
planting of such crops as corn
and cotton. The corn planting j
was delayed and the few days
suitable for planting were used
to get the cotton crop in the
ground. After the cotnm came
up much of It died and as a
result the stands generally
throughout the county are from
poor to good, only. r thon» be
ing very few very good or
perfect stands. The corn crop
was planted late. The oats and
wheat crops were saved by
virtue of a sudden let-up in
weather condltons; and gen
erally were harvested and
•tr^ed under good conditions,
although the yield was not
extra. The sowing of peas and
sorghum for hay did not pro
gress as rapidly as- ‘desired
and a lot of this hay crop has
been late. Alfalfa and pastures
have been extra good through
out the season.
This brings us to the pres
ent status nf the crops In
Clarke count. First, as to cot
ton. the favorable weather of
the month of July with splend-
did activity on the part of the
farmers in cultivating, caused
a heavy fruiting of the cotton
crop. In a few weeks time a
prospect that looked. In July,
