FUTURE OF FOOTBALL IN ATHENS
^ With all that the University of Georgia means to Athens, it
* is difficult to understand just why football -games staged here
receive such meagre support from Athens people. And while no
authoritative statement has been made to that effect, we dare
say the day is not far distant when none of the big games will be
staged here unless there is a phenomenal improvement in local
attendance. To be sure, the University authorities are eager to
have as many big games staged h ere as possible, yet they have to
consider the expense of such, and they cannot be expected to con
tinue bringing them to Athens at a loss of money, for the very
simple reason that the athletic board hasn’t it to lose.
Out-of-town attendance at the games is generally very grat
ifying, but when it is considered that only about 500 Athens peo
ple attended the Georgia-Virginia game last Saturday, the Uni
versity authorities cannot be blamed for being disheartened with
their efforts to give Athens a few big. games each year.
The point has been reached where the Athletic Association
feels that it must have some concrete evidence of Athens’ interest,
and it is stated that the future of football in this city depends
upon the support given the games during the rest of the season.
The biggest game of the season is set for next Saturday, Geor
gia against Vanderbilt. Several, citizens, feeling the gravity of
the situation, have issued a letter calling attention to the public’s
apathetic attitude and urging that the whole city turn out to next
Saturday s game as an evidence that Athens is interested in a
continuance of games being played here. The letter follows::
“The people of Athens have never before the present season
had the opportunity of seeing so many first class football games.
Tennessee and Virginia have been with us and Vanderbilt is yet to
come. The athletic management ha? brought these great gam3R
to Athens largely in response to the insistent demand here for b!g-
games.
“In order to accommodate the crv.wb expected, the Athletic
t year $13,000 in enlarging and improving
t has been the result? A pitiful handful of
.* games. The total attendance at the Vir-
1.000 student?, was le s than 1,500, whereas
apacity for 7,500. Three thousand empty
• crowd were out of-town people. Observers
than 500 Athens people were present.
, “What. will, te^he result of this indifference ? There can be
Dut one ariswtr,^-thcf big gamer, cannot be hold here. Under mod
ern conditions college athletics take money. Coaches’ salaries,
traveling expenses, equipment entail huge costs (the initial equip-
. jnent for each.player costs $100X- Every team that comes must
be given a large guarantee.
“If you want Athens to have the big contests and to profit
by the presence of thousands of visitors, it will be necessary for
you to patronize the games. Otherwise they will surely go to
the larger cities, many of which are clamoring for games and
offering big inducements.
“Two dollars is not an exorbitant preie. That amount is a
minimum everywhere for the really important games and even
at that figure the Association cannot break even unless all the
seats are taken. Columbus turned out 15,000 to see the Auburn
game. Surely Athens can find half as many for the Vanderbilt
game.
“The future of football in Athens depends on what you do the
rest of this season. We who sign this letter have no interest in
the matter except as citizens of Athens who appreciate the grav
ity of the situation. v *

Daily Poem
MUCH MALIGNED
By BERTON BRALEY
Who said that November was
dreary
And weary,
A month full of shivers and quivers
and gloom? T
Why, taking the month altogether
Its weather
Is not half so bad as some people
assume.
Of course it is frequently glummer
Than summer,
But plenty of days in November are
bright,
And much of its cold and its rigor
Give vigor
And fits you to labor with nil of
your might.
The birds who have roasted No
vember,
Remember
Are most of them English; and
England, no doubt
Has awful Novembers, bleak, grimy
And slimy
Which justify whining and pining
about. *
But here—well. November has
We bear it
Because It brings cider, nuts apples
and such
Still though with what skill I can
phrase it
I praise it
I really can’t say that I care lor it
much.

and he urged others to follow bis
example when neighboring farmers
were picking up punctured squares
and using other methods to fight
the pest he said they had better use
poison. Mr. pittard tells me . that
on cotton where he applied this
poison he will averaye about three-
fourts of a bale per acre, but thos3
of his tenants who did not do so
will make a scant cotton crop.
Mr. Tom Erwin, who lives in the
the best farmers in Oglethorpe
Wlnterville section and is one of
county, says from cotto^hon which
he used calcium arsenate he will
get about 900 pounds per acre m
an average, but where he did nit
apply the poison the crop is hardly
worth picking.
I understand that Mr. Frank j
Holder, of Jackson county who lib
erally used calcium arsenate aud
fought the pest day and night from
start to finish, on some fields will
make two bales per acre, and his
entire crop Is exceptionally fine.
And owing to the unfavorable sea
son this year I very much doubt if
a much better yield would have
been made had we no weevil. This
has unquestionably been the worst
crop year in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant. A number of ok!
farmers have told mo this.
Another farmer tells mr that he
planted 125 acres and made one
small bale of cottcn, not more th.m
a poefeet. It is needless to add that
he did not use poison or take any
other means to fight the pest.
I could fill columns w|tli crop re
ports where farmers who did not
use poison made a complete fail
ure, and some would not even
gather the few’ scattering locks.
One farmer on 75 acres tells me he
will not make 300 ]>ounds of seed
cotton. %3ut where farmers picked
up punctured squares and took
other methods to combat the pest
they will make fiom one to two
bales to the plow. But where they
used calcium arsenate an.l applied
it according to directions, fairly
good crops have been made. But
the yield I find hinges on at what
stage of the crop they began to
apply the poison. The best results
were from farmers who started to
apply the poison before they had
chopped their cotton. They killed
the first crop of weevils and it was
then an easy matter to keep down
the pest an dit does not require
so much arsenate. f

doubts of the wisdom of publishing

Mr. Henry Hodgson, a former
Athens boy now living in Atlanta
and traveling over two states tells
me that a farmer this year in Jas
per county planted 600 acres in cot
ton and made only three small
bales. This farmer before the ad-
ent of the boll weevil made about
00 bales on this same land. He did «">*»■ “ aae « uie .

Mr. Smith, a leading citizen of
Winder, tells me that Mr. Gus
Johnson, a farmer of Jackson coun

planted 125 acres In cotton and
has gathered 100 bales. Mr. John

gan to apuly the poison soon after
the plants appeared above ground
and lie kept It up. And he followed
directions, putting on the poison
before day and while the plants
were damp with dew. He worked

WHO WILL HEAD SENATE?
Following the general election confirming the nominees for
the States senate and house of representatives in Georgia, much
interest is being manifested among friends of the members in
both houses as to who will be elected president of the senate and
speaker of thfc house. Especially is this true regarding the senate
and already there is evidence that a contest will be waged for
-this honor by several senators, among the most prominently men
tioned being Judge George A. Johns, of Winder, representing the
twenty-seventh district.
Judge Johns was chosen without opposition to serve his sec
ond term in the senate from his district, and at the recent sena
torial covention held in Monroe a resolution was introduced by
Honorable Orrin Roberts requesting him to offer for the presi
dency of the senate, and passed unanimously. Numerous friends
of Judge Johns throughout the state have, since his last election,
been urging his candidacy.-* ■ *
Senator Johns hears the distinction of being the only senator
in Georgia who will return to that body next year. “He is one of
the ablest and moat popular o#-Georgians,” Says the Walton
Tribune, “and is the logical man for the presidency of the senate.”
Judge Johns is well known in Athens, and this section of the
state. He represented Barrow county in the legislature before go
ing to the upper house, and would, if chosen to head the senate,
make an acceptable presiding officer.
The Coue theory of auto-suggestion, by which many believe
they can edre their ills .by rf petition of an “I’m well now,” phrase;
seems new to many. But in. Tibet, for malty centuries, people
have believed they can become healthy and happy by saying, over
and over, “Om. mani padme orn,” which means, “O, the jewel in the
Lotus, O.’* Are Caucasians also becoming mystics?

FARMER IS A
COTTONTOT
1 knew that the average farmer is
a cottontot and if he had an idea
that he can grow cotton under
boll weevil conditions he was sure
to go to work and plant his house
lops and front yards in the staple.
One farmer in an adjoining countv
came to me the other day and said
he felt like kicking himself at not
taking my advice; that those Hol
loman letters, encouraged him to
plant over 300 acres In cotton, and
he will not make over twenty bales.
I did not question or doubt the
honest intention of the papers pub
lishing those letters; but I had
tackled the weevil-for about ten
years and knew that they would
mislead our farmers.
But the experience this year has
conclusively demonstrated that wi
can grow cotton under the most ad-
vers boll weevil conditions but to
do so it is necessary to use calcium
ersenate and it is a waste of labor
to plant the staple unless you in
tend to put poison on it The above
crop results show this. You need
not accept my word for it, but an

When the man was met by two

he gave two to the grandfather, two
to the father and two to the grand
son thus dividing the $60 equally
among them. The catch lies in the
fact that one of the three- creditors
was both the son of one and the
father of another.
