CLARKE COUNTY'S COTTON CROP
There is no question abort the cotton crop in this
county being at least fifty per cent larger this year
than in 1922. Every indication points to a five
thousand bale crop and that estimate may fall short
of the real number after thr crop has been gathered.
Our farmers have gone th / limit in fighting the boll
weevil this year and every precaution has been
taken to preserve tho squares and bolls from the
ravages of the weevil. That the cotton grower has
been successful the increased amount pf cotton is
the best proof. While the acreage cultivated this
■ year was far less than that of last year, yet the pro-
I duction has shown a wonderful increase, and an
other year with similar co nditions and increased
acreage it is believed the county will produce a nor
mal crop.
In addition to the increased cotton crop there has
been more food stuff and feed stuff raised this year
than any previous year and our farmers are better
prepared to live at home than ever before. Poultry,
hogs and cattle raising has been increased and the
returns from the sale of cotton will enable the far
mers to spind that income for clothing, shoes and
necessities other than that of food. It is a healthy
condition ii. tins county and in the section tributary
to Athens the-condition is equally as good.
Already trad'd among the merchants is showing
a wonderful improvement and every line of busi- -
' ness throughout the city is showing increased trade.
It is believed that the fall business will be the larg: r
cst since the period of depression visited th(s 'sec-.

“GENERAL OGLETHORPE’S REMAINS

Oglethorpe university »s a great institution and

will ere long be ranked with leading and represen-

Let us be fair and just and treat with our neighbor
as we would nave him treat with us.
BURN YOUR COTTON STALKS
We have always adhered to the belief that it is
best'to burn cotton stalks in the fall of the year and
thus take a running start on the boll weevil. Some
contend that the cotton stalks should be turned un
der for the fertilizing property is in them. But we
say burn them so you know you have got the boll
weevil and a good part of his start for another year.
A farmer near Orangeburg. S. C., recommends
picking the leaves from the cotton stalks early in the
fall and burn them. This may be a good idea, as it
leaves that stalk entirely bare and the sun gets a
bchance to crack the boll open. Another thing is that
Hr will make it very hot for the boll weevil before he
^an get in his entire work. Many of the bolls will
be saved from puncture and not in this way. It in
creases the labor, but it also increases the yield.
£ If .after picking the leaves off the stalks are th.-n
burned, the percentage of the boll weevils hibernat-
irur is reduced to the minimum. Just as soon as the
Cotton is all gathered, the stalks should be burned.
But destroy the cotton stalks bv either burning or
buryjng, and it is preferable to burn them, in our
opinion, because those you get will never come
back, and that is a cinch.
