' PIG CLUBS IN GEORGIA THE BANKS AND THE FARMERS The Banner-Herald has from time to time advo cated the plowing up and burning of cotton stalks so Eoon as the cotton has been gathered. There is no que .ticn but'that this method will come nearer de stroying boll weevils than other plani of destruction If the weevil is not allowed to house during the win ter, Certainly there can be no multiplying of the pest or migrating in the spring of the year. Banka of the country arc taking cognizance of the condi tion and urging their agricultural customers to des troy stalks and otherwise campaign agalnat the in crease of the weevil. Here is a letter sent out by the Home Bank, Barnwell,. S. C. It contains sound ad- vice to the cotton/rgnqwor and at the same time re minds the farmer who does not co-operate with the banks’ and other farmers that he may experience trouble in securing aid for the coming year. The Ia>—iays: ' '.To Our Customers and Friends: , We have been advised by 1 the federal and state govern ments, that to grow cotton another year the • stalks must be killed, and as soon as the last lock v - of- cotton is picked, take your plow and rip the stalks up, this will kill the stalks, and cut off the food supply of the weevils. The earlier these - stalks can be destroyed before frost, before Oct > 10, if possible, the more good will be accom plished. r ,Now, listen! We are especially appealing to every one, but more especially to the customers * of the Home Bank to do this, for if one of our Customers can do this and fails to do so, when , he comes into the bank in January to secure a . loan to make cotton and has not destroyed his '■ stalks early in thetfall as has been suggested and advised, we may not be able to make a loan for him. So we say ."gain and for the last time to- our friends, to destroy those stalks before frost, otherwise you cannot hope to make much '"7 cotton another year., Come to the bank and we will gladly tell you more about it. • , ^^The advice given in this letter is reasonable, con- ^■niag safe and sound business principles and shoW3 PPfat this bank is interested in the welfare of the farmer. If all the banks in the cotton belt would use their influence to bring about such a condition in their section it would go a long way towards se curing the co-operation of every cotton grower in the destruction ot the weevil. Such a policy on the part of the banks is justifiable and commendable and one which would bring good returns to this sec tion of the country. .The production;of hogs in this state for this ^ear shows a decrease of about forty per cent from that of Jgst year. However, an instance in Musccogee county proves thjtt the boys’ pig clubs can be made a greAt factor in meat production, and a paying in dustry for the boys. Here is what a report from the agriculture department in Washington has to say of Ihesc two Muscogee county boys. - Two farm boys of Muscogee county Georgia liiive succeeded so well in their pig club work {hat they have been able to purchase a moderate , priced automobile and by this means attend high school, which is a considerable distance from their home. These young stockmen, Webster and Dana Cartledge, have practiced the feeding and care ..of pigs under the direction of their county agri culture agent since 1919, when they secured a pure bred boar in partnership. This they grew into a prize-winning animal. In -1920 each bought a gilt, giving his personal note for the purchase price, and later they together invested in d young boar to replace their old one. From . these purchases they have built up an excellent .... - herd. They have/shown their sows and litters at a number of community, county and district fairs, and have sold many of the young pigs. In 1922, according to reports to the United States Department of Agriculture, in addition to winning a scholarship to the junior short’course at tho State Agriculture College, they received over $250 cash returns from their stock and had on hand more than $600 worth of hogs. That which can be done in Muscogee county can ’■ be done in practically every county in the state The pig clubs have contributed more to the in creased production of meat than from any other ^source, just a* the corn cluha have done for- the increased production of corn. Since the inaugura tion of corn clubs in this state not only haa there been a remarkable increased production per acre but there has been a large increase in acreage and ’ the com crop has grown to be one of the most valua ble of all crops. With increased interest aroused in the com and Tig clubs it will contribute much towards placing -Georgia on sound substantial basis and in a great measure enable the people to live at home off the fruit of their own labor. DESIRES By Berton Braley Man looks for little here below, A little chance, maybe, To find in love a little glow, In Youth a little Klee; A little time for frivolinK Before the years are shriveling A spirit glad and free. Man gets but little here below, Nor keeps that little long; A little hour perhaps to know . A little mirth and song, A little strength for laboring, A little time for neighboring With friends among the throng. Man looks for little here below, And little does he get. Save, now and then, a little 3how To earn, by work and sweat, A little cash for squandering On pleasuring or wandering To ease the heart of fret. Man, hoping little here below, Wins even less, it s true. Most of his little visions ro Quite swiftly up the flue! Life has a heap of stings to it, Yet, golly, how man clings to it Until his time is through! RAILROADS DESPAIR DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? i E a w * Little of Everything And Not Much of Anything.
