Senator Boyce Ficklcr., Sr., senator of this, the 50th district, is rendering most valuable service to i the educational institutions located here. He has in troduced a resolution for the allotment of $100,000 for the support of the State Normal School; this amount to be deducted from the state public school fund which amounts to over four million dollars. This resolution is based on the fact that when the • State Normal School was established it was specifi cally stated in theuact that this school was to be an integral part of the public school system of Georgia. It is a well known fact that this school furnishes * to the .common schools of the state hundreds of . thoroughly equipped teachers for the rural schools. )' In fact one of the requirements in the act creating ■ V the school makes it mandatory on teachers graduat ing from this institution be required to teach'at least three years in the schools of the state. Senator Ficklen has received many compliments on the introduction of this resolution from friends of ' the school and many members of the general as- i sembly. Governor Walker was very much pleased when he learned of the action of Senator Ficklen and called the senator to his office and thanked him for 1 the stand he had taken and assured him that he was in full sympathy with the resolution. > Senator Ficklen is one of the most influential mem- i bers of the upper house of the general assembly and enjoys the esteem and-Confidence of his fellow mem- 1 ben to the utmost. ANOTHER WEEK FOR THE WEEVIL If the farmers can hold the boll weevil in check f for another week there will be little danger of the : . pest doing much damage to the cotton crop this year. So far the season has been most admirable for the destruction of the weevil. The farmen have worked with a determination to drive the weevil from his f lair and so far they have succeeded. A continued dry and hot season of a week will have the desired V effect of eradicating the weevil in this section. tiT-J " While the acreage is riot full, yet there will she r more cotton produced in this section than at any time » during the boll weevil -regime. The plant was nev- ' er finer and. the squares gnd bolls are developing rapidly and soon it will lm too late for the weevil to get in his deadly work. But from now until the boll is matured, wo should watch and dust and,keep informed absolutely of the first appearance 6f the weevil. Now that the crop ia practically made, let us hold that which we have regardless of the rav- ! ages of the weevil. ; —. IMPROVE SYSTEM OF ROAD SIGNS While Georgia ia fairly equipped with rAid signs on the (highways, yet there are many of the roads {■ which are not thoroughly posted. This is an all-im- | portant matter and such signs bl.ould be posted at V intervals enabling the travelers to find their way without inconvenience. It may be said that the careful; driver experlences'no trouble in finding the way from one point to Mother and that it is only the reckless driver who sometimes fail to see the signs directing: to thiB or that point There is much in this contention 'and the argument is worth while, hut there remains nevertheless, an absence of kigns on many 'of the important highways which has proved a great inconvenience to the traveling public. Georgia can well afford/to spend the amount nee-, sary to complete the system of posting signs en ding the public traversing the highways to reach tneir destination without inconvenience and joss of time. No doubt the highway department will see to it that all main highways will be thoroughly posted with signs for the benefit of travelers and tourists. CAN AND PRESERVE NOW • This is the season for canning and preserving fruits and vegetable^. Next winter it will be too late. The housewife who sees to it that , the pantry is well stocked with, canned vegetables and preserved fruits will have something to be proud of during the winter months. V' - This has been an unusual season for vegetables and fruits of all kinds. They have been plentiful and of the finest variety.

A Little of Everything And. Not Midi of Anything. By HUGH ROWE. Tomorrow will be the first "dog day” of the year. The season will last through July and August It ia generally hrlieved that dogs are liable to go mad during the so-called dog Ueya, but there Is nothing to sub stantiate such a belief. The State Board of Health has given out tho following statement regarding care and attention which should bo given in case one should bo bitten by an animal which ia affected with rabies: The belief that animals are particularly liable to go mad dur ing the so-called "dog days." ex tending through July and Aueust, while erroneous, has again served to bring to the attention of the iwqplc of Georgia the dunger of hydrophobia or rabies, as It is ommoniy known.

It would pay any farmer to travel a long distanre to aee this beautiful and model farm. Every foot of land has been brought up Uvtho hiyhest-state of productiveness by scientific culti vation and legume crops. But the most interesting depart ment of Mr- O’Kelley’s farm is hit chickens. Ho has 60 hens In all— 150 Black Jersey Giants, and the othej-a Rhode Island Reds and White Leghorns. He is a believer in the Black Jersey Giants, a* they good layers- and attain great size, almost as large aa turkey, hens. Ho says the R. I. Reds are a find strain of poultry, both for eggs and rapid growth. Mr. O’Kelley got his start ih chickens by buying eggs or chicks from high class prize winning breed ers. He nays there is as much In the strains of poultry as in horses or any oth^r animal. To ljave good layers and choice chickens you must breed from fowls with an es- tnblishcd record. He is now im proving his flock by crossing with tho finest strains in America- He keeps posted on the record of every poultry breeder and pays great prices for eggs from choice strains. But Georgo O’Kelley’s pride is his Whiter Leghorns. The breeder of champion, record breaking Lef. horns lives in the state of Wash ington. He owns the prize-win ning hen, "Lady Jewafl,’’ and for which fowl he refused' 92, From hona of this strain he has a laying record of 336 eggs a year Eggs laid by “Lady Jewell” he sells for |50 each and has orders nhcad for them at that price. Mr. O’Kclley orderd sixty eggs from th»« breeder but as it took four days to get tho «gg> across tho continent ho only hatched sixteen chicks—eight pullets and eight roosters. He of course devoted special care to this bunch of chicks and raised them all. They urn now about two-thirds grown and beauties. lie will mate the cocks with his best pullets and improve hia entire flock. He will have tho greatest string of White LogHorns in the world- Rode With Davis But Mr. O’Kellay has ono White Leghorn cockerel that is his pride, being the finest fowl In the south. When he ordered eggs from that Washington breeder, to show his appreciation for such a large order from a distant state, he sent Mr O’Kelley as a present an egg laid by "Lady Jewell.” Mr. O’Kelley placed In tho Incubator the 950 egg and from It hatched a cock. Of course Mr. O’Kclley gave this bird especial care and atfentioft’ and it Is a beauty. Ho values It at 7360 but no reasonable sum will buy it. Mr. O’Kelley will mate this bird with his best laying hens and will thus have a pen of fowls that cannot be equalled in the south But all of his chickens Wer.* hatch ed from prize-wining eggs, from tho leading breeder*, but he will not be • cont.mt until he has thr finest flock of fowls on the Amer ican continent- With young hens of three pop ular .strains of chicken*. Jersey Giants, R. I.
