Destroy cotton stalks. winter

as soon aa the staple Is picked.
This Is the first atepa to
taken in the farm program ouiltosd
by the State College of Agricul
ture for northeast Georgia, made
public yesterday by County Agent
J. W. Firor.
The following definite rccom,
mendatlons for a program for thle
section were made:
Cotton: The tendency to
crease the cotton acreages should
be discouraged. The danger of
rloua boll weevil damage !« still
present and should be considered
until the farmers have had mori
experience with control measures
For this reason It is recommended
that except under unusually fav.
orable labor and soil conditoln?
the acreage be - restricted to from
four to alx acres per ’plow. The
destruction of stalks In entire com
munities just as soon at the cottor
Is picked, and the use of poison 1b
controlling the boll weevil were
strongly urged.
Sufficient acreage to rmall grain
to supply the. needs of the fi
wo* recommended. It was rtated
{hat wheat ahouid be sown before
October ?0th for best remits. Ao*
pl*r and Fulghum varieties of nats
nnd Red May and Fulc-tster vn.
rieties of wheat were suggested.
Corn acreage sufficient to sup*
ply the needs of tho farm was re*
commended.

BERLIN. —The Reich-
stag Saturday adopted
the emergency bill giving
Chancellor Stresemann
extra - constitutional au
thority to deal with the
grave economic and fi
nancial situation of Ger
many as he sees fit. The
vote was 316 to 24 with
seven abstaining. Among
the latter Hugo Stinnes,
the industrial magnate.
It was uncertain until the last
moment which way the voting
would go although the coalition
party turned out in full strength
and the chancellor held over the
house tho alternative of dissolu
tion if it did not vote the meas
ure.
The debate began with the us
ual denunciation of the govern
ment by the Communists. The
Bavarinn Peoples party’s spokes
man then announced that the
party could not withdraw from
the house. This settled the fate of
the bill .which before had looked
doubtful when the Nationalist*
party had absented themselves
from the Reichstag. The passage
of the bill was greeted with ap
plause from all sections of the
