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.— Commerce News. 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 by one of his tenants.

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 SPORTSMEN ATTENTION A rare treat is in store for the lovers of sport in this section. Mr. B. F.

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 patch. 1 Death of Reverend George W.
