WOL. XXIX. THE BIG NORTH GEORGIA FAIR IS IN FULL SWING THIS WEEK; ATTENDANCE OFF. K. G. BARKOOT’S WORLD FAMOUS SHOWS FURNISHING AMUSE “ MENT. ________ The great North Georgia Fair open ed its dqors last Tuesday morning with a tremendous attendance. Fully 1,500 school children of the county were in the parade, and the scene was an im posing oiyi. People were here from all over this section and the grounds have been scenes of busy activity since Tuesday morning. The schools of the county gathered at the court house and the line was formed there from which place they marched to the fair grounds. The schools that made the best show ing in the parade were Paradise, lirst place; Cedar Creek, 2nd place, and Ar gonne, ,3rd place. A Winder News reporter in wander ing among the exhibits found three splendid school exhibits: Bethlehem, Auburn and Cedar Creek. These were luie displays from ttese schools and shows the splendid spirit that domi nates them. Every school in the comi ty would be benefltted by having these exhibits. Among the individual farm exhibits we noted spiendid displays from C. A. Edwards, Ralph MeElroy, G. W. Ful ler, M. K. Maynard, Fred Fuller, W. T. Edwards, S. H. Hardigree, Mrs. J. L. McDaniel, lain Simonton, E. C. Bag gett and E. C. Parkins. These exhibits are attractive and show what can be grown in Barrow county when we go after things in dead earnest. All of these gentlemen are splendid farmers of this section and they are to be con gratulated on the splendid showing made this year. We hope other far mers of this section will emulate their example next year. Miscellaneous Exhibits.

It can be made much cheaper than the patented desks and strikes us as being about as good. We also noted among the ex hibits of tliis school a hand cotton gin, the first we ever saw of its kind. Mr. Will Kircuehad on exhibit an old fashioned spinning wheel with cards and reels. It looks like it has been here over a century and we suspect it has.

GRAHAM. 4t THE FAIR By Douglas Malloch. We wrest no subterranean store from out of caverns deep and dark, Nor with the blood-red hand of war make harvest of a nation’s tears. Ours is the wealth of God’s good soil, and on his earth we leave no mark But furrows of the farmer’s toil, the business of a thousand years. Here we assemble what we grew, here we have gathered of the yield, They>roducts of the work we do, our answer to the ones who ask. These are the children of the seed, arisen in the fertile field, A world of weary ones to feed—a noble duty, honest task. Even in joy of labor done we have our hour for deeper thought, To see the glory of the sun in smiling fruit and golden grain; E’en in the frolic of the fair we realize how God has wrought Till herds increase and blossoms bear, fed by his sunshine and his rain. All mindful of our work again another season yet to be, Let us come forth rejoicing then to pass a merry week away— Proud of the treasures that are ours, with merriment and industry Taking of earth both fruit and flowers, taking of life both work and play. KILL THE 1923 WEEVILS NOW One of the most effective steps in boll weevil control is the early destruc tion of cotton stalks. Just as soon as the cotton can lie harvested, go into the cottoil fields and either turn under the cotton stalks or rip them up wtih a ploy. The object is to destroy the cot ton plants. Weevils can not feed on dead cotton stalks. When their food is destroyed they migrate to where they can feed or else go into winter quarters. Wheth er they are thus driven away from your farm or driven into winter quarters the probabilities of their damaging you again next season are greatly reduced. Over must of the cotton belt it is im possible to gather the cotton early enough to permit of the destruction of tije cotton stalks three to four weeks before a killing frost will destroy them. Three to four weeks earlier in going into winter quarters means that death of weevils from starvation and cold will be greatly increased. It is the last weevils that go into winter quarters the cause damage in the cotton crop the next year. If all of these were starved out by destroying cotton stalks early there would, of course, be an end of the weevil. While one cannot expect that cotton wll ever be destroyed early and completely enough to accomplish a complete erad ication of the weevil, it is true that to the extent that this is done the number of weevils and tlieir damage will lie re dreed. Chopping down stalks leaves stubs that sprout new growth on which tne weevil can feed, therefore, the only safe way is to uproot the stalks or else*, with the aid of a drag chan, toturn them completely under therefore, the ,only safe way is to uproot the stalks or else, with the aid of a drag chain, to turn them completely under the fur row slice. Knowing that many cotton farmers do not plow deep enough to cover up cotton stalks, the softest general ad vise is to uproot the stalks with a plow and to watch that no new’ growth starts up. As long as there Is green cottoi growth left in the Held, the weevil will be found. It will crawl into a lock of cotton or Half opened bur to keep warm ant come out when the sun shines to feeo on the greerf stuff. Don’t burn the/ cotton stalks. Lot them lay on the ground. When the ground s ployed they can be turned under where they will dec-ay and add the organic matter which the soils so much need. Why not organize a community-wide, or comity-wide movement for the early 'destruction of cotton stalks. It means loss trouble from the weevils next year. AUTOMOBILE COMMITTEE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. We want you at church. If you need a conveyance, call Mrs. Hiram Flani gan, chairman, in time before Sunday and she will send one of her Baraca Brothers to bring you. ( Perry Hill Making Good At Staunton, Virginia, Military Academy. We have just learned that Perry Hill one of Winder’s most promising young men; is attending Staunton Military Academy at Staunton, Va., and is pre pairng to enter the United States Mil itary Academy at West Point, N. Y. We are all glad to learn that Perry is do ing well in his scholastic work as well as in athletics. We understand that he is playing quarter back on the varsity foot ball steam and was picked to fill this im portant position out of a squad of lifty flve men. This is quite an honor for any boy and all of Perry’s friends are very proud of him and wish him all the success in the world. DIST. CONVENTION HERE NOV. 18 & 19, Christian Endeavors of Northeast Ga.

The program will be announced at a very early date. Over-The-Top Cotton Seed for Sale. I have secured a few of these seed in order to get our people started in the production of this variety of cot ton. It is conceded by everyone who has given it a fair test to be the best variety of cotton in existence under boll weevil conditions. It produces a small weed and light foliage which makes it easily and most economically poisoned. It is a very heavy fruiter with a medium size boll that matures very early and produces a staple 1 to 1 M 6 inches in length. I planted one bushel of these seed this year that made at the rate of a bale per acre, aftd is practically all gathered now, Oct. 3. Over-The-Top seed are hard to buy even now and if you wait until next spring to buy your seed you will pay nearly double the price if you can get them at all. I have a few pure seed that I will sell at $2.75 per bush el already sacked at Rogers Bonded Warehouse. R. L. ROGERS.
