CALCIUM ARSENATE CALLED SURE CURE FOR BOLL WEEVIL;~PLANT GOOD SEED Proper Type of Cotton for Special Soil or Climatic Conditions Will Increase the Yield. Preservation the cotton crop by “dusting” the bolls and stalks with calcium arsenate in order to extermi nate the boll weevil, is the only sure method of eliminating the pestilence, according to Ira W. Williams, general fielijl agent of the state board of ento mology in an interview Saturday. jOy observing this precaution and allying the calcium arsenate on the cotton plants during the months of July and August, when the migrating period of the weevil is at its height, Mr. Wil liams asserted, a hundred per cent crop of cotton can be raised in spite of the weevil. “The people of Georgia,” declared Mr. Williams, “are thoroughly convinc ed that a hundred per cent of a cotton crop can be made in spite of the boll weevil up to the migrating period of the Vfcevil. which nlace the last of July in some sections and during t month of August. We hope to work out a method of control after migra tion sets in. The best possible control would be for every man to dust with calcium arsenate as directed by the Georgia state board of entomology, Then the weevils would not be numer ous enough in any man's field for mi gration to be injurious, sho<ul(l any take place. Neighbor Won’t Hurt. “The man who dusted his cotton care fully and thoroughly would not be dam aged by his neighbor’s plantation, who did not dust. Remember, however, that this damage does not take place until late in the season, and then it is a damage largely to the bolls on the top of the plant. It would also be a great benefit the following year if ev ery acre in cotton was dusted. There would be so few weeviLs to go into hib ernation that early in the season the next year there would be very few wee vils to attack the cotton plant. “Outside of every man dusting, the pext most advantageous thing to do is for the farmer to have a cotton seed, the bolls of which have n tough rind that can not be easily punctured by the weevil. We have done some work with sea island along this line, and there has been some improvement on other varieties by different farmers. The next most important thing is that the farmers have a early maturing cotton as possible so that he can get his cot ton matured before the migration pe riod. Then plant as early as possible ami cultivate rapidly. > “J. L.

At no time in her career has Mary Pickford given more care to the choos ing of a cost or to the assembling of suitable types than for her next Unit ed Artists film offering “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” which will be the feature at the Strand Theater two days, Tues-j day and Wednesday, November 28 and 29th.. The leading character role, that of the gouty and irrascible old Earl of Dorineourt, is played by Claude Gil lingwater, footlight veteran whose most recent success was as the grouch in "Three Wise Fools.” Mr. Gillingwater has many other triumphs to his credit, having been on the speaking stage for more than twenty-five years. This rep resents his first venture in pictures. Joseph Dowling, who registered the pinnacle of cinema fame in “The Mira cle Man” is playing the part of Havish am, the difinified, understanding and shrewd solicitor whose analytical mind does much to help solve the great diffi culty which forms the climax of the story. Those three- lovable characters, the grocer, the applowoman and the boot black, are portrayed in their respective order by James Marcus, Kate Price and Fred Malatesta. Rose Dione will play Minna, the ad venturess who challenged Lord Fauut leroy’s claim to the title. | The role of The Stranger, husband of the adventuress, will be taken by Arthur Thalasso, who will be remem bered for his w r ork*as Joe Sylva in Al lan Dawn’s “Forbidden Thing.” Much human interest will be added to this elaborate Bickford play by the ap pearance of a very beautiful St. Ber nard dog named Douglas as the con stant companion for Little Lord Fauut leroy in Dorineourt castle. All In all it is a great picture and you will enjoy it.

A GOOD DAY AT , FIFRST BAPTIST Last Sunday stands out as a red let ter day in the history of the Winder First Baptist church. For some time a considerable debt had been hanging over the congregation and the question of how to meet the obligations had been discussed again and again. Recently, at a meeting of the pastor and deacons, it was the unanimous decision that we could raise the amount needed to deur our church erf debt. The pastor was to preach upon “The Crisis,” last Sunday. This he did in a powerful and convinc ing sermon. The congregation, though somewhat smaller than usual on ac count of the (’. E. convention, when asked to rathe in cash the amount of indebtedness, in less than twenty min utes laid upon the alter around SI2OO to rid the church of debt. The joy of giving, great sacrificial giving seemed to seize upon all, and no happier or more joyful congregation and pastor has ever been in Winder. And now, that the’church is free of debt, it is the purpose of the pastor and congregation that it shpll not any more suffer from the burden or debt. “Praise God fpom whom all blessings flow,” as it was sung at the conclu sion of the service seemed to have a new significance as the congregation clasped tfie hand of one another and rejoiced in their new victory.
