Newspaper Page TextVOL. XXXII. FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, MAY 26, 1922. IN UMBER 45. HOW TO USE AR SENATE TO CON TROL BOLL WEEVIL I. . Use only pure calcium arse nate in the form of a dry powder. 2. Apply only in the dust from without mixing with anything. 3. Apply only with dusting ma chines made for dusting cotton. 4. Dust only when the air is still. Best results come from night dusting. 5. Use 5 to 7 pounds of calcium A rsenate per acre for each applica tion. 6. Start dusting in any field as soon as weevils are in all parts of field. Some fields need dusting earl ier than others. Local spots can be dusted and retard, general infesta tion. 7. Keep cotton thoroughly cover ed until weevils are under control. This means dust every four days af- j ter beginning until four applications ■have been made. 8. Then stop poisoning until wee vils are bad again. 9. If you have heavy rain in a few hours after dusting, dust the same field immediately. 10. Do not expect to kill all the weevils. Calcium arsenate only keeps them down enough to permit a crop to be set. II. Do as much as you can to make your yield high. It costs as much to spray an acre whether you make a quarter or a bale per acre. 12. If you are not convinced, leave some poisoned cotton to see whether it does any good or not. 13. Sometimes weevils are in all parts of a field before the cotton has any squares. If this is true, dust the cotton with calcium arsenate once or twice just as the squares begin to be large enough to be punctured. This early dusting may be done with a sack or with a guano horn with a fpiece of cheese cloth tied over the large end and one or two pounds per acre will do at this time. Mr. B. R. Coad who is at the head of the Government Boll Weevil Ex periment Station at Tallulah, La., says he can make a one hundred per cent cotton crop on his own farm and un der his personal supervision ,under heavy infestation or can make it on any one else’s farm under his per- ghsonal supervision. If others can do it, why can’t we. Reliable experiments have been made and it behooves us to accept the experience of those who know and save our cotton crop. Mr. Coad’s method is with calcium arsenate, in a dust form, put on with a dust gun made for dusting cotton, and START ING IN TIME. You can’t wait until the cotton is destroyed and then save it. STATES. S. CONVENTION At Columbus, on June 13-14-15. Columbus, Ga., May 24.—Plans for making the State Sunday School Con vention, which meets in Columbus, jon June 13-14-15, a success so far as lo cal arrangements are concerned, are being perfected by a local committee of arrangements, of which jW. H, Young is general chairman. Assisting Mr. Young are the following sub-chair- meh: C. R. McAllister, entertainment; J. R. Fitzpatrick, registration; Ham lin W. Ford, buildings /and ushers; T. C. Kendrick, publicity; E. W. Stephens finance; Dr. F. M. Jenkins, reception, and Mrs. C. M. Trulock, pageant. The invitation to meet in Columbus this year was tendered by the Musco gee County Sunday School Association, the Kiwanis Club, the Rotary Club, the City Federation;of Women’s Club, the city of Columbus, through the may or, the chamber of commerce, the Mus cogee county commissioners and the Advertising Club. It is understood that a strong array of out-of-state speakers and/about thir ty of the leading Sunday school work ers lof all denominations in Georgia have been secured to take part on the program, assuring one of the best pro grams ever presented at a gathering of this kind in the state. Hinton Booth of Statesboro, is president of the State Sunday School Association, and ; will preside at a number of the sessions^ assisted by the vice presidents and oth er leading officials. This Will Beat the Boll Weevil and Build Up the Farm. Republicans “Fool the Farmer” by False Philosophy. Those farmers who are being made to believe thati they are going jto benefit largely by high rates placed upon agricultural products in the pending tariff bill should give heed to the following statement by Sena tor Underwood, than whom there is no higher^ithorny on tariff taxation In this country. Senator Underwood said: “The argument is used that because taxes have been levied on manufac tured products, taxes should be levied on agricultural products, and if you are going to penalize the American people by taxation for the benefit of the manufacturer, you should penalize <j|them with taxation for the benefit of the fanner. “If you were going into that false philosophy and going to use the tax ing power for some purpose other than the revenues of the government, I might very well concede that if you could you should throw the blanket of protection as far as possible, if it was beneficial. But I think where the fallacy of the argument comes is that under the guise of protection, under the guise of doing something to help the agricultural interests in some par ticular item, you ask their support for a bill which means that for every dol lar of benefit they may derive out of the bill they must pay $100 in taxes to benefit some one else, or for the 1 per, cent of protection which they may get under the bill they must pay the 99 per cent of protection which is af- fonfl/d to other people. I do not think there is any question about that prop osition.” MAY MEETING WOMAN’S CLUB ^e Fayetteville Woman’s Club will meet Monday afternoon, May 29th, t the home of Mrs. C. D. Redwine t 3 o’clock. The first can of sour cream shipped from Fayetteville was made last Fri- day by G. & G. Hardware Co., for Mr. K. W. McElwaney. This shipment contained thirty-four pounds of cream testing 40 per cent butter fat which was sold at .?/. and a check was received from the creamery Tuesday morning for $4.62. This cream is thej ‘product of four cows in four days, and at this aver age will net the owner about $9.00 per month, per cow, for the cream only, not considering the value of the skim milk for feeding hogs and poul try, and not to mention the revenue that will be received In the way of manure to fertilize the farm. One hundred farmers in this vicin ity should be receiving a cream check like this every four or five days and when this is so our people can laugh at the boll weevil and will be willing to erect a monument to his memory. Mr. McElwaney made his second shipment of cream Wednesday and is pleased at the results of the first shipment and the anticipation for the future. Athletes Tied for First ■' Place at Geor gia Tech. Atlanta, Ga., May 24.—Tied for first place in scholastic standing in the se nior class at Georgia School of Tech nology are two jof the most famous football players on the Golden Tor nado. They are Albert Staton, tackle, and Oscar Davis, guard. Staton is the only man in Southern football who has ever been selected on the (Composite All- Southern team in two different posi tions. In 1919 he was the All-South ern selection at the end position and in 1921 he was selected for the tackle position on the All-Southern eleven. He is also a Tech varsity basketball player. Oscar Davis has been men tioned for All-American and All-South ern teams at the guard position. He has also participated in other forms of athletics at Tech. Staton and Davis headed the list among the seniors on the Tech honor roll for this year, which has just been made public. The honor roll is com posed of the students ranking highest in scholarship, only ten per cent in each class being eligible. These; two Yellow Jackets have won many other scholastic honors. Both of them have won the scholarship Gold “T” and have been elected for membership in Phi Kappa Phi, honorary fraternity. Sta ton is also assistant secretary of the Tech Y. M. C. A. and a leader in re ligious work among 'the students. Ballroom Dancing. The earliest form of ballroom danc ing was the quadrille, start*! about 1815. This was followed by the lan cers, invented In 1836. The polka was adopted in 1835. The waltz, which came from Germany, In 1795, did not become popular as a ballroom dance till later. The two-step is an Ameri can Invention. FAYETTE WOMAN’S CLUB. ANNUAL REPORT NOVEMBER, 1920- MAY, 1922. Owing to change in limits of club year, made by the State Federation, the year extend ing from May to May instead of November to November, as formerly, it was necessary to extend our club year to cover a period of eighteen months—by way of adjustment. The Fayetteville Woman’s Club reports a most successful year. While we fhavel not ac complished all we desired to accomplish, we have made progress along many lines. We have grown in interest, in strength |and co-operation, and, best of all, we feel that we have the interest and appreciation of our people. We have enjoyed 12 regular meetings. It was decided at the beginning of the year not to have year books. Our programs planned by our progressive program committee 'have been interesting and instructive. It was due to the efforts of the Child Welfare Committee that Dr. Bocker, supervisor of child welfare of [the State Board of Health, gave the club a helpful talk. Especially enjoyable was a health playlet given by the children of the first and second grades, i At another time, Miss Templeton of the State Library Comlmission ad dressed the club on Library work. Through the co-operation of the members, money was raised to finish paying for the set of Wonder World Books for the Library, and the Domestic Science Department of the School. A good bit of work was done on the little park last spring and the shrubs and flowers made it an attractive spot. The club furnished (meals to a sick colored woman for three weeks. Part of the money used for this was given by the public and turned over to the club. Our Library is growing. The Library and Finance Committee have made it possible to buy many new books, by making money on plays and in various other ways; 208 books have been added, making a total of 919 books. A number of the new books are for the young people. An improved system of checking the books in Library has been installed. Our club entertained the County Federation in May. A good many ladies from the oth er clubs attended this meeting. The club is very much interested in the work of improving the cemetery. The com mittee for this work has sent out over three hundred letters to owners of lots, telling them of this work, and asking their co-operation. The work has been delayed until the deeds of the cemetery are turned over to the city by the county. But we are looking (forward to the work there, and to make it the beautiful place it should be. The club has shown its interest in the school in many ways. Our child welfare com mittee with the aid of the doctors of the town, (made a physical examination of all gram mar school children. We too(k an active part in working for bonds for an auditorium. We served dinner for (the teachers when the institute met here. Our club joins with other clubs of the county in giving a prize to the winner of first place in composition of the county school contests. All of our members were interested in the question of our school tax. We are anxious to have our new school building well equipped and money is being made for buying some of this equipment. The County Federation met in Woolsey in November. About 15 of our members at tended this enjoyable meeting. Our annual book shower was held in December at the home of Mrs. Ingralm. Carols (were sung at Christmas and a nice little sum was raised from this for Far East ern relief. Good reading for our young people has been encouraged by the club and a committee appointed for this work. Under the supervision of the child welfare committee, clothes were collected and sent to eleven school children of our county in order that they might attend school. It was largely through the interest of our civic committee that the Clean-Up Campaigns were a success. The club finds one of its chief joys in entertaining our Confederate soldiers on Memo rial Day—by the serving of dinner and the arranging of the afternoon’s program. Seven new members have been added, while three have been lost, among the latter the lamented Mrs. Wesley Turnipseed. MRS. L. A. INGRAM, President. MRS. L. M. LESTER, Secretary.

Vice President, Mrs. H. D. Redwine. Recording Secretary, Mrs. L. M. Les ter. Corresponding Secretary, Miss Marylu Graham, Treasurer, Mrs. D. B. Blalock. Librarian, Mrs. Helen Harrell. Health Officers of State to Hold Institute. A most interesting and timely oc casion will be the institute for county and municipal ( health officers, to be held in Atlanta at Emory University school of medicine, during the week of June 5th. A number of speakers of considerable prominence are to be heard. The institute of these health officers is an annual affair. Last year it was held in Augusta in connection with the school of public health, which had just opened for students. A large number is expected this year than attended even the Augusta institute last year. Mammoth Organs. Amongst the largest organs in the world are the Haarlem instrument, which possesses sixty stops and 8,000 pipes; the Albert Hall organ, with 125 stops; the organ in St. George’s Hall, Liverpool, with 110 stops; one at St. Louis, which boasts 150 stops; and one In Sydney Town hall with 126 stops.—London Tit-Bits. Her First Difficulty. “I’m awfully glad you came In, mother,’’ said Mrs. Youngbride, who was trying to do some cooking. “This recipe says: ‘Take a good-hearted cabbage.” Now, mother dear, how do you tell the disposition of a cab bage?"—Boston Transcript. NOTED EDUCATOR DIES Mrs. Caroline Crawley Gave Her Life As A Pio neer for Higher Educa tion. The funeral of Mrs. Caroline Craw ley, of 133 Lee street, pioneer Atlanta woman and founder of Mrs. Crawley’s private school, who died Friday at a private sanitarium, ( was held Saturday afternoon at the home of Hon. A. O. Blalock, her nephew, 'at Fayetteville, Ga„ for several years her home. Mrs. Crawley, who was seventy-eight years! old, was the widow of the late Mr. C. D. Crawley, and had made her home in Atlanta for about fifty years. She is survived by her sister, Mrs. M. A. Blalock of Fayetteville; two nieces; Mr3. Eva Thornton and Mrs. Maud Moyers, of Atlanta, and four nephews, A. O. Blalock, of Fayetteville; A. C. Blalock, of Jonseboyo; T. P. Zellars, of Newnan, and G. Z. Blalock, of Jones boro. Col. Braxton Blalock, private secretary to Governor Hardwick, is a grand nephew. Mrs. Crawley was a pioneer of high er education, having taught in many prominent schools and holding prin cipal’s position in some of the leading county schools; important among the leading places she occupied were the holding of the scattered forfes of the G. N. I. at Miledgeville, together at the close of the war, and from ruins, shaping the great institution into what all Georgians are proud of today; she was also at the head of the great Bes sie Tift College at Forsyth, where the Baptists of Georgia absorbed the insti tution. After being at the head of many other schools, Mrs. Crawley caught the vision of the great need of a preparatory school in Atlanta, where, for many years, she has fitted scores of boys and girls for the higher departments of education. Many philanthropists have bestowed of their accumulations great gifts to the state and its people, but no bene factor ever contributed a more noble gift than when Caroline Crawley gave her mental nature to bless humanity. Mrs. Crawley was a devout Chris- tain and delighted in teaching the Bi ble to the societies of her church, wherever she was identified. Saddened hearts of relatives and friends, were those who, having just heard fitting remarks by the minister in charge, caught the deep sympathetic! meaning of angelic music, and were fol lowing their friend to her resting place, where, after the benediction had been pronounced upon her life, all were of one accord—this, their friend, who had given her life for others, had entered into her rest. Jewish Physicians Honored. During a long interval the popes were attended by Jewish physicians. In 1385 the Roman senate reduced the amount of tribute payable by the Jewish community because medical men of that race had refused to charge poor people for their services. Pope Boniface IX, gave a certificate or diploma to the Jewish physician Ellas Sabbas and later addressed a docu ment of the same scope—a sort of letter of recommendation—to Angelo di Manuele. NEWS BROAD CASTING. Editor. Wars are not over yet. Until hu manity sprouts wings we will continue to fight. We were unable to remain out of the last year, and the next one will draw us in, if it is on a world scale . For this reason this country should be maintained in a state of reasonable and common sense preparedness. General Pershing preparedness ad vocates, and the American Legion wants the regular army to remain at 150,000 enlisted men. Congress wants to cut it down to 115,000. If you were called upon to defend yourself against an enemy armed with la modern high-powered rifle, how would you like to depend upon an old- fashioned blunderbuss? Why can't we have a “good fellow ship” week in this town, with every one making a special effort to be agree able to everybody else? It would create a wonderful spirit of comradeship—would bring the peo ple together—would heal old sores— would clear up misunderstandings— would remove friction—would 'cement a spirit of community co-operation. It would do no harm, would not cost a penny, but would do an endless amount of good. Why not? Much has beei^ said in the daily press of late regarding the millions of dollars grafted from the public treas ury on war contracts. It has taken a long time to say .it. The public demand is insistent that these rich grafters be ferreted out and properly punished, ;and their stolen wealth returned to the government. * It has taken a long time to work up the demand. At the past and present rate of speed they will be convicted when they die and punished when they get to hell. Never in history has there been so much organized crime as is sweeping over the country today. Never in history have the brains of criminal organizations—the higher ups been so immune from prosecution. And never in history has the law of the land come so near to utter col lapse. When reputable citizens learn to use their brains and perform their duty to society we will overcome this reign of the devil and his imps. Until then we must expect to go from bad to worse. Congress is stil debating the bonus. Service men are still waiting. The people are still indifferent. The war is over. This is 1922. The burdens of life are only heavy to those who carry them around. The Life of a Pearl. “The pearl resembles man in that it is bom to die. Care for it as you will, Its life can no more be prolonged in definitely than ours can, because it has an organic constitution. If you tell me that specimens have been found In the tombs of the ancient Egyptians. I ask, what became of them? Those relics of a bygone civ ilization crumble into dust on expos ure to the air,”—Exchange. Man With Homs. “A native with horns like those of a springbok, has been brought here from the Rand,” writes a Johannesburg correspondent of London Tit-Bits. “The horns began to develop when he was nine years- of age, and, despite frequent cutting, continue to grow. In every other respect the man is normal. It is highly probable. In view of the medical interest in the case, that he will be sent to Europe.” Fine Buildings in Buenos Aires. Although the Teatro Colon. Buenos Aires’ opera house, is far famed as the largest in the world, the architec tural jewel of the city is the magnifi cent Jockey club, on the Calle Florida, the Fifth avenue of the southern metropolis. Its staircase is wide and pillared, of green marble. The furni ture of one of the banqueting rooms was taken over in Its entirety from an old French chateau. It has a great fencing hall. What You Have at Home. Be still and do not forfeit what you have at home by turning to seek abroad what you will not find.—Fene- lon. Farm Agents Hired By Butts Kiwanis Jackson—H. G. Wiley of Colbert, Ga., Oglethorpe county, has been named as farm agent in Butts county and will begin his duties June 1. The county being barred by the supreme court de cision from paying the expenses of a farm agent out of the general tax levy, the Kiwanis club of Jackson county raised the money to "pay the salary of a farm agent for twelve months. If satisfactory results are obtained the work wil be made permanent in Butts county, regardless of whether the leg islature passes an enabling act per mitting counties to pay the salary of farm agents. Miner's Cradle. The cradle is a simple appliance for treating “pay dirt” earth and gravel containing gold-dust. It consists es sentially of a box, mounted on rockers, and provided with a perforated bot tom of sheet iron in which the “pay dirt” is placed. Water is poured on the dirt, and the rocking motion im parted to the cradle causes the finer particles to pass through the perforat ed bottom on to a canvas screen, and thence to the base of the cradle, where the gold-dust accumulates on transverse bare of wood called “riffles.” Device Saves Lives of Birds. Any one who has watched a moth circling round a candle will have no ticed that the Intensity of the fascina tion does not prevent the moth from coming at intervals to rest on the rim of the candlestick. In the same way naturalists have discovered that If perches are fixed around the lighthouse beacon a little below the strongest beams the birds will use them as rest ing places. In Holland these perches are now employed with gratifying suc- Rapid Education. *Ef a man got no mo’ sense ’a t' bresh a mewl wid - brick,” said Char coal Eph, moodily, “he gwine pick up a lot o’ info-mation ’bout a suttin kind o’ disposition.”—Richmond Tlmes-DIs- patch.
