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-. H Mon three years ago, and an almost normal bust- Sess Kill be experienced this fa",.

Let honor lie where it belongs ami not take from him who has accomplished that which was thought to be the impossible, by opposing , the removal of tho remains to Oglethorpe university. ' 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.
