BOOSTING AND BOASTING.
To boast is to brag, to vannt. etc, but
“charity vaunteth not itself, is not
up." let us not boast, lest we
we “boast of things without our meas
ure.”\c_We may say with David. “My
soul ‘Will make her boast in the Lord;
the humble shall hear thereof, and be
glad.” This is righteous boasting,
which is the rare exception; but
boasting, as a general rule is unright
eous. “Where is boasting then? It is
excluded. By what law? of works?
nay; but by the law of faith.”
Boosting, however, is no akin to
bragging or vaunting, though it may
amount to the same thing, if the boost
ing is with a wrong motive or boosts
a wrong principle or wrong thing.
Boosting is giving assistance, or a shove
or a push forward to a person or thing
while all iniquity does its blighting
wflrk by the aid of its boosters, whose
names are legion; righteousness also
has to have its boosters, even if few
there be that find it” or its narrow
path, -with here and there a traveler.
For you know that righteousness—just
like Iniquity—has neither human head,
nor Hands, feet nor faculties, mouth or
money, eyes nor ears, tongue no talents,
brains nor barns, farms nor feelings,
love nor lungs, pens nor phone and
must —as iniquity does —use these and
other human gifts and powers in order
to accomplish its purpose among hu
man beings.
“Righteousness exalteth a nation, but
sin is a reproach to any people: let
“all the people tremble” who yield
their powers to unrighteousness, and
all She nations that forget God. Be
ware ! We are building a city here,"
we all love to say, and say truly, and
no sane, true citizen ever knocks wrong
ly his own city, nor fails to lend his
powers to its true arid solid up-build
ing, agreeing with Baul in being truly
able to say : I am a citizen *f no mean
city. All crave the blessings of pros
perity. “But if thou wilt not hearken
nnto the voice of the Lord thy God.
thou shalt not prosper in thy ways.
As with an individual, so with a city or
section-: “He that covereth his trans
gressions shall not prosper.” Nothing
can or should stand without a solid
fowidation, as well as a sound struc
ure. “Woe to him that buildeth a city
on bloodin any sense of the word.
As with a house so with a city: “Except
the Lord build the house, they labor in
vain that build it; except the Lord
keep the city, the watchman waketh
but in vain.” Economically as well as
morally, the Spirit said to all: “Where
fore do ye spend money for that which
is not bread? ami your labor foi that
which satisfieth not?” Too true of the
times is it, that “the nations weary
themselves for every vanity.”’
•Let's all be boosters and whether or
not we are better than other cites, not
be guilty with other cities that, meas
ure themselves comparing themselves
among themselves, are not wise. Let“s
all of us so co-operate in building a
city here as that surging floods, blowing
winds, and beating rains will prove it
to have been founded upon a rock —tlie
rock—and not build upon the sand,
looking for a cily that hath foundations
and wfiose builder and maker is God,
as all who are prepared for it. have a
huikling of God. a house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens,” a city
that lieth four square, to the dimen
tions of twelve thousand furlongs in
length, width, and height, being the
city of the living God, the heavenly
Jerusalem, innumerable company of an
gels, the assembly and church of the
first horn, which are writen in heaven.

COMMUNITY - '
CO-OPERATION FOR
BETTER COTTON
URGED BY PRESIDENT ANDREW
M. SOULE OF AGRICULTU
RAL COLLEGE
Restoration of North Georgia’s Lost
Reputation for Inch Staple Most
Quickly Attained by Single
Variety for Each Community
Atlanta.—“ The only way to get
North Georgia back quickly to the old
standard of an inch staple cotton is for
the farmers of each community to agree
on one variety that will produce the
desired length of lint, and then grow
no other,” says Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
president of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture.
“When the farmers cf a community
grow a single variety of cotton,” con
tinued Dr. Soule, “they know what sort
of lint they have, and they can demand
and get the best price that the market
will pay for staple of tjiat kind.
“Uniform staple in a community is
an advantage not only to the fanner,
but also to the cotton buyer who can
know what sort of lint is in every
bale of cotton to be obtained in the
community without going to the trou
ble of making determinations, and he
will, therefore, be more ready to pay
tha premium that the length of staple
justifies.
"It is apparent also that the Georgia
Cooperative Cotton Growers Associa
tion would profit by community co-op
eration in growing uniform staple. Com
munity action would allow the market
ing organization t,o get at lots of uni
form staple with the least expense.
“What the cotton farmer wants, of
course, Is the largest money returns
from his cotton crop. In North Geor
gia, it has been found that the best
money making varieties are those that
yield a standard inch to an inch and
one-sixteenth staple. It was on an inch
staple that North Georgia gained Rs
reputation and a premium of a cent
and more per pound over cotton ol
shorter length grown elsewhere.
“Recognizing the value of the inch
staple in North Georgia, in its cotton
breeding work, the State College ol
Agriculture had kept a staple of that
standard steadily in mind. The pre
mier cotton that the institution has
bred is designated ‘College No. I.’ This
type of cotton not only produces the
inch staple, but it has been bred for
earliness and high yields. It has been
widely distributed among Georgia farm
ers and is sustaining its reputation at
the Georgia Experiment Station and
in other tests it has taken first placs
for yields.
“We observe that the Atlanta Com
mercial Exchange, Georgia Bankers As
sociation and Country Bankers Associ
ation are advocating College Number
One and other varieties in the longer
lint campaign. The Cleveland strains
that the Exchange is advocating have
shown up very satisfactorily in the Col
lege tests. Piedmont Cleveland and
Wannamaker Cleveland stand out as
wall selected types. They yield heavily,
mature early and produce the lint that
commands the North Georgia premium.
“It is the policy of the College to
advocate no cotton before it has been
thoroughly tested for Georgia soils and
climate. It seeks to get seed and try
ever)' new variety as soon as possible.
Though some new variety may be very
promising, the College prefers to tell
the farmer to wait and see what the
tests show before he plants it.”
Dr. Soule says that the College has
not yet tried Acala cotton a sufficient
length of time to know what it will
amount to as a Georgia cotton. There
fore, the College is not yet ready to
pommit itself finally to this variety.
The Commercial Exchange of Atlanta
Is, however, promoting Acala cotton in
addition to the others chiefly, It is
claimed, because the Bureau of Plant
Industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is recommending
this variety and because of the suc
cess of the first year results of farm
ers who have tried it in Georgia.
While the Exchange, Banks and Col
lege are co-operatißg In the North
Georgia longer lint movement, it le
clearly understood that the College is
not yet in a position to approve or dia
approve Acala cotton until it has con
ducted Its usual tests.

HIL L’S MIXTURE
There are three elements to HILL’S MIXTURE
—arsenate as a poison, molasses as a binder, and

put on the top of a cotton plant, the weevil will
hunt it out, eat it and die.
Tests have been conducted by county agents
and responsible farmers, where one daub of
HILL’S MIXTURE was applied to the top of the
cotton stalk and in from ten to fourteen hours,
every boll weevil on the plant (sometimes 50 in
number) were dead.
