________
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

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.

We noticed that among the exhibits
of the Cedar Creek school was a

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

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.

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.
