WHY WORRY WITH YOCR OLD
STOVE WHEN YOU CAN BUY THE
CHEAPEST AND BEST OIL STOVE
MADE FROM PARKER FUR. CO.
VOL. XXIX.
THE NEED OF THE HOUR.-MARKETS FOR
OUR PRODUCE SHOULD BE EST ABLISHED
We Need Organized Plan to Sell Other Products
Much Worse Than We Need Organization
To Sell Cotton.
ITON WHOSE SHOULDERS DOES
THE RESPONSIBILITY
DEPEND?
It may take sometime to work out a
system by which the farmer can fin<l a
ready cash market for any product
grown on the farm but the longer the
establishment of such a market, the
longer all of us will suffer for the need
of it We never opposed the Cotton
Growers Co-Operative Association. On
the other hand we never advocated it.
Ifor there were many phases of it with
which we were not familiar. We did
hot want to give endorsement to a
scheme unless we were sure that it
Was safe and sound. We thought then
and yet believe that we need an organ
ized plan to sell other products for
ready cash much worse than we need
an organization to sell cotton for it is
a well known fact that cotton can be
sold any day in the year and this can
not be said of many other farm pro
ducts. For chickens and eggs and but
ter, the producer knows that he can
go to his local market any day in the
year and sell these products at some
price fojj cash. Not so with many oth
er products of the farm. Discussing
the importance of such a market the
Savannah Morning News says:
“Johnson county has a new' com
pany, a private icern,, which
guarantees to afford good cash
market at all times to those who
have for sale hogs, cows, chickens,
eggs, peas, peanuts, velvet beaus,
cotton seed, corn, oats and wheat.
That’s a foundation for the future
hopes of the Johnson county farm
ers in their diversification plans
for the coining year. They are as
sured that there will he a place
nearby where they can realize the
market price in cash for their stuff.
—Savannah Morning News.
The Lavonia Times copied the com
ment of the Savannah paper and added
the following:
“That is the thing that will have
to come to all Georgia. We need
more and better markets for all
'farm products. —Lavonia Times.
All are agreed that such a market
should l>o established, at every local
trading point, such for instance as
Commerce awl Lavonia. Then the
question arises, upon whose shoulders
does the responsibility depend? Cer
tainly not on the farmer. If not the
farmer, then it must he the business of
leading business men of the town where
the* farmer does business. Lavonia
and Commerce both have a cash mar
ket for cotton and chickens and eggs
hut neither has a market for such as
are mentioned in the clipping of the
Savannah paper. If business men try
to establish such a market and fail they
are blameless. If they make no sort of
effort then they are chargeable to neg
lect of duty and opportunity. They
owe it first of all to the farmers to do
all that can be done to establish a cash
market, if possible for all farm pro
ducts. Then in self-defense, they owe
it to themselves. Now, when the far
mer owes the merchant and cannot
meet his obligations it would inure to
the benefit of all, the farmer and the
merchant, to have a ready cash mar
ket for all products. Such a plain
would assist the farmer in meeting his
obligations and put new life and hope
into the now despondent business man.
Time after time we have suggested
such an effort in Commerce but as yet
no organized effort has been made. It
may be a dicult matter but if we never
try, we will never succeed. We be
lieve moreover that the business men
of Commerce can work it out if any set
of business men anywhere can do it.—

BARROW COUNTY TOBACCO^
Mr. Weyrnnn P. Harrison, of Bethle
hem community, was exhibiting on the
streets of Winder this week a fine sam
ple of cured tobacco that was grown

FARMERS TO GROW
OTHER CROPS AND
NOT ALL COTTON
A number of farmers and land own
ers of the county met at the court
house last Friday to discuss with Mr.
Oliver and Mr. McKay, of the State
College of Agriculture, the growing of
other crops in this section beside eit
ton. Most of those who came were in
terested in growing tobacco or peaches,
some of them in both of these crops.
Several of those present had investi-
I gated the growing of tobacco and were
j very optimistic about t lie success of
this crop in this section.
Mr. A. I). Robertson, formerly the
.county agent and now farm agent for
I the Seaboard' Railroad, was here a
' shoTt while ago and thought this an
i ideal section for the growing of tobacco.
' Mr. Oliver said that our red lands
| would grow a fine type of Burley to
bacco and that the gray or lighter soils
j were well adapted to the finer tobaccos
for pipe, and cigars. lie advised those
■ interested to look well after the culti
' ration and spraying of their crops and
to look especially after the tobacco dur
ing the curing process. It was brought
I out that those who did this made a
success of their crops, and made a
profit of from $300.00 to $500.00 per
acre.
With these two crops, tienohos and
tobacco, put on as new crops in tfis
county next year, it seems now that
other crops will also he introduced,
'and that our farmers will fight the boll
' weevil with something else as well as
j with calcium arsenate. It is essential
that we still raise some cotton but we
will never he a one-crop again. We
linve splendid soils and our farmers
have the nergy and initiative to go af
ter other crops. By hard work and a
determination to succeed with other
crops our people will yet whip the
boll weevil in this territory.
TRAP SHOOT

JUDGE GEORGE HAS C ARRIED AT
LEAST 126 COUNTIES, WITH A
UNIT VOTE OF 318.
JUDGE Walter F. George was nomi
nated for the United States Sen

primary. He received over a hundred
unit votes majority over all opponents.
Returns from *llll the 160 counties in

318. His nearest competitor, Govern
or Hardwick, carried 27 counties with
20 unit votes. John It. Cooper did not
carry a county.
Only 208 unit votes are necessary to
nominate so it is seen that Judge
George has 110 votes more than nec
essary to nominate. No run-over pri
mary will be necessary.
Judge George carried every con
gressional district In the state.
\ Major Charles E. McGregor won the
race for pension commissioner by a

THE WINDER FRUIT
GROWERS PERFECT
AN ORGANIZATION
A meeting of the Winder Fruit Grow
ers Association was held last Friday
afternoon in the grand jury room in
ilie court house when a permanent or
ganization was perfected and plans
! were discussed and made for putting
! out peach trees this fall. Col. R. H.
I Kimball was elected president, 11. A.
Carithers, vice president; W. M. Hol
senbeck, secretary-treasurer; Dr. S.
T. Ross, Dr. L. W. Hodges, Brunellc
Smith. J. W. Shields and Dr. W. L.
I Mathews were elected as an executive
committee.
Mr. 11. M. McKay, of the State Col
, leg*- of Agriculture, was present and
discussed with the growers the proper
' method of putting out, cultivating and
j caring for young peach trees. While
each member will have his individual
orchard and look after It himself, it Is
the purpose of all members of the as
sociation to work together in every
way possible in buying of equipment
and all spray material and In the gath
ering and shipping of fruit. Already
about 40,000 trees have been bought
for putting out this fall. With 20 foot
space and 20 foot rows these will cov
er over 4(H) acres of land. According
to records at other places with trees
five years old. this will moan about
150 cars of fruit to be shipped from
these trees alone. The memtvers of
the association have made a thorough
canvass among the land owners of this
section and expect to increase tin*
above number to 200,000 trees next
year.
In addition to peach trees Dr. S. T.
Ross and W. M. Holsenbeck will put
out an acre each in tigs of the Brown
Turkey variety.

lowing general presentments and rec
ommenddations.
Our committees have examined the

and find his records in good shape and
correctly kept.
We find the county jail and court
bouse in excellent condition with the
exception of a leak in the roof of the
county jail, which is recommended to
be repaired at once. Everything about
the premises of tliese buildings is con
spicuously clean and sanitary.
An inspection of the chain gang
quarters shows that the stock and the
equipment are well cared for and the
convicts are all in good health and
have been remarkably, free from the
contageous diseases that have been so
prevalent throughout the country. We
find no criticism whatever to make of
this department.
We find eleven paupers on the pau
per list, all of which are entitled to
same.
We find on the pension list,
pensions are paid to forty one soldiers
and fifty-four widows, all of which
are worthy and entitled to draw.

leading by the Camp Old Mill place,
and rebuilding the bridge across the

a mile from the old bridge up the river,
and coining out west of Bird McDan
iels with said road. The bridge
across the Appalacliee river known as
the Kilcreuse bridge is in a dangerous

public road in good condition, but some:
places badly needing work.

CALCIUM ARSENATE
PROVES SUCCESS
One llundml and Sixty-four Demon
strations Carried Out in Use of
the Poison.
Under the direction of the Extension
Division of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture, 1(4 demonstrations in
the use of calcium arsenate in controll
ing the boll weevil, were (sarried out ac
cording to directions this year.
In these tests, every common variety
of cotton was grown, though the major
ity of farmers grew Cleveland Big 801 l
and College No. 1. The soils varied,
practically every type found in the cot
ton growing sections being indnded.
Cotton was planted on most of the
test farms in April, though some was
as late as May 15. The mafority of farm
ers used about 500 pounds per acre of
a 9-3-5 fertilizer. Dusting with cal
cium arsenate was begun when the
squares were beginning to form. All
types of dusting machines were used
from the small hand guns to the three
row power machines predominated.
In the majority of these tests 25 to
40 pounds of calcium arsenate per acre
was used. From three to six pounds
l>er acre were used in each application,
at intervals of four ty ten days, de
pending on weather conditions.
The majority of tests show ah in
crease of about 75 percent f i m the use
,of calcium arsenate, though some re
j ported Increases of from 2(H) to 500 per
I cent. Only five farms show less than
;H> percent increase, and three reported
no gain, which was attributed to ad
verse weather conditions. Only two
farms reported a yield of less than one
hnlf bale per acre and some reported
as high as one and one-half bales per
acre. The majority reported yields of
700 to 1(H) pounds of seed cotton per
| uctfrfv
! It is the Amanimous opinion of the
farmers making these tests that cotton
can lie raised successfully In spite of
the weevil if calcium arsenate is used’
according to instructions.—Cordelc Des
