The 801 l Weevil Can Be
Outwitted.
WE take the following editorial from the Moultrie
Observer and call the attention of our Barrow
county farmers to that jsirtion of it that refers to
the destruction of boll weevils. We do not know any
tiling about the process hut publish it for what it is
worth. Barrow county needs a hundred per cent
cotton crop next year and the News wants to do its
part in helping our people to grow it.
f
Here is what the Moultrie paper says:
And now comes .a story from Florida that the state
entomologist has a sure method of killing the boll
weevil; a process tiiat if followed closely, makes pos
sible almost a one hundred per cent crop.
Home will not believe it.
Home w ill wait to hear more about it.
Home will wait to see others try it.
Home will try it in a half-hearted way, and declare
it a failure.
It is a perfectly practical and workable proposition
—if it is worked thoroughly. The plan is to wait
until all the old weevils come out of the winter hiding
places, and then pluck all the forms off the cotton
and destroy them. Follow this with an application
of calcium arsenate, and in the absence of the forms
to give housing and feed protected from the poison,
the weevils will lie caught by the poison. With the
weevils killed, and the cotton at the period where it
is ready to put on the crop, the bearing will follow
rapidly, and before the weevils can accumulate again
the cotton is made.
An acre of good cotton will probably be worth one
hundred and fifty dollars next year. If the editor
of this paper was growing cotton for a living instead
of pecking a typewriter he would plant as much cot
ton as he was sure he could protect from the weevils,
and he would get In the field and live with it. The
weevils would have to stay out or fall in mortal com
bat.
Colquitt county needs a good money crop for 1923.
It will take four million dollars to square us With the
banks, the fertilizer men, the farm loan companies
and leave enough money to do the necessary shop
ping for the family. The cotton crop is the one crop
that is good for four million dollars, and it is only
good provided we conquer the weevil.
I .eft to their own initiative the farmers of this
county will not defeat the weevil next year. They
will plant n crop and cultivate it and when the wee
vils come they will surrender. In the first place, many
of them will fool themselves into believing that they
have no weevils until the iiests are so thick in the
fields that they cannot defeat them. 1
THE WINDER NEWS
If the hankers and guano men and other interested
in the cotton crop will organize the cotton farmers
for a fight to the finish ; if they will hold down the
cotton acreage and advance the money to buy calcium
arsenate and the machines for putting it out; if
groups of farmers can be organized to work together
in fighting the weevil, there will be a splendid oppor
tunity to win the fight.
The Florida State Entomologist may have some
thing that is worth-while, and something that can be
used with effect in Colquitt county in 1923 in making
that four million dollar cotton crop. It is worth a
thorough investigation.
O
Billy Sunday and The Preachers.
BILLY SUNDAY, the famous evangelist, made the
statement the other day that one-third of Ameri
ca’s clergymen have never been converted to Chri.-itlan
ity. Mr. Sunday really meant that they were abt con
verted to his ideas of Christianity. Mr. Sjjfiday lias
made a lot of noise in the religious world, going from
place to place, and stampeding the people into thinking
they have gotten religion when most of t them have
gotten an excited mind and a shake-up dT the
nerves.
Christ said that the kingdom of heaven cometh not
with observation, and this is true. It is the work of
the pastor, the Sunday school teacher, the workers
in the various churches in the country that is bring
ing in the kingdom of God arid not those who stand
on the street corners and shout.

A certain South Georgia town has a board of trade
