committed suicide by shooting himself
through the head witn a pistol at his

the past several years. The shot was
heard by his son, Fletcher Allen, who
rushed from an adjoining bedroom and
caught his father as he was falling
to the floor. The funeral and inter
ment occurred at th<j Clegg cemetery

AN EXPRESSION
OF APPRECIATION
Mr. Editor:
Through the nujdiiun of your paper
and Barrow county for their kindness
1 wish to thank my friends of Winder
and interest while I was a recent pa
tient of the Emergency Hospital, and
for the flowers, cigars and nice things
to dat, for they made it so pleasant for
me during my convalescence. And I
W’ant to especially commend Drs. Mat
thews, Pharr and Randolph for their
timely and successful work,
i I feel like the Emergency Hospital in
its dmbryonic state was a life saver to
me. as mine was a real emergency cast*,
and the probability is if I had been
forced to have gone to a city hospital of
some distance, that the time consumed
in covering the distance would have
been charged heavily on the debit side.
And my case w’as only the first of many
and various cas.ys that will follow, that
will be blessed I%’ convenience and ef
ficiency.
I feel like the Emergency Hospital
will almost rival an incident that hap
pened and is happening in a small Mi'i
inesota town. A couple of young spe
cialists' with a few years experience
Uvhen deciding o:i where to erect their
hospital, final l ", against the advice of
a majority of their friends, decided to
erect it in their own home town of on
ly a few thousand inhabitants. It grew
and today it enjoys n national reputa
tion, and who knows but that some day
Winder w’ill enjoy a nntio’ , a l reputa
tion through the medium of its hos
pital. It has the talent or the mate
,rial and they don’t have to go to cit
eome to them.

Timely Topics For The
Farms and the Home.
IT is now time to bed
We give here brief instructions
that will be helpful to thti individ
ual farmers and if put into practice
over the entire county, it will save the
county thousands of dollars. The re
cords show that fully fifty per cent of
the potato crop is either damaged or
rotten annually.
Select well-colored, smooth, healthy
potatoes for bedding. Discard all roots
showing any trace of stain or scuff,
black rot, stem rot or foot rot. Wash
the potatoes to easily defiejet diseased
spots. Treat betiding stock to destroy
disease producing organisms on the sur
face.
Dissolve one ounce of Corrosive sub
lime (Bicloride of M'qreury) in eight
gallons of water using a wooden con
tainer. Submerge the potatoes in the
solution for fifteen minutes. Bed at
once. This material is poison, there
fore, proper precautions should be tak
en.
When bedding use new soil. Disin
fect the frames. Avoid potato refuse.
USkj no manure resulting from potato
feed. Cover the treated potatoes with
dean sand. Protect the beds from the
chickens and rodents.
Irish Potato Treatment: Mix one
pint of formaicbliyde (Fermalin) into
35 gallons of water. Place the cut
tings in loosely woven sacks and sub
merge in solution for two hours. Plant
at once. Disinfect the sacks and buck
ets.
i lrtom the Delta Laboratory: “The
manufacturer of calcium aresnatc Is
on a much moot stable basis than was
the case during the early days of its
production, the quality on the market
la corresondingly improved ; consequent
ly the necessity for analyzing calcium
arsenate is greatly diminished. We no
longer analyze calcium arsenate sam
ples. but the farm cl's will receive the
protection of the Federal Insecticide
and Fungicide Board.”
I Georgia stands in the 42nd place
among the states in the production of
inilk per cow. Prosperity follows the
dairy cow, hut not the scrub cow. Do
do you grow cow feed and sell dairy
you grow cotton to buy cow feed, or
products?

Army Planes Will
Spray Cotton Fields
to Kill 801 l Weevils
ARMY airplanes will in* used
to spray calcium ansenate
over the cotton fields of Lou
isiana in combatting the boll wee
vil, which has destroyed, it is es
timated. about $1,000,000,000 of
cotton in the lase five years. Ar
my planes have been used pre
viously in a small way against
this pest with some success, ac
cording to Secretary of Agricul
ture, Wallace.
The experts in the Department
of Agriculture recommended the
expenditure l of $5,000,000 to buy
calcium arsenate, to be sold by
the government at cost. The pro
posal was approved by the senate,
but was killed in the house fili
bust'dr on the last day of the ses
sion. Only three planes are a
vailable for the work this sum
mer.
The planes provide for spraying
the cotton in the early morning
and again at. night, at which
times the weqvils feed. It has
been found that a machine, by
flying a few feet over the field
can effectively spi-ay the cotton.
Thq arsenate kills the weevils
within a few minutes.
WANTS WESTERN
CIRCUIT DIVIDED
The following paragraphs taken from
the grand jury presVfntments of Gwin
nett county in regard to the Western
Judicial circuit will be interesting to
our readers:
We find that the business of this
court has increased to such an extent
that it is impossible to dispose of It at
the regular terms of court. This con
dition has been getting worse every
year until we are now more than two
yMars behind with the business. It
would perhaps take more than three
months regular court to clear the civil
docket and many weeks to try the crim
inal cases pending. This congested con
dition causes a grept inconvenience to
our people, and lass of time and ex
pense to parties and witnesses attend
ing court. And as the regular courts
in the Western Circuit consume nearly
all the time of the judge and solicitor
there is no time left during the year for
extra terms in this and other counties
to dispose of the lousiness. This cir
cuit was created years ago and the
present congested condition has been
caused by the growth in population and
business of the Western Circuit, and
something will have to be done at an
early date to relieve the situation.
We, therefore recommend that our
representatives in the legislature and
senate do all in their power to have
the Western Circuit divided in some
way and anew circuit created. If
this is done either of the two circuits
thus created would be as large in pop
ulation as the average circuit in Geor
gia.
METHODIST CHURCH.
All arc urged to unite to make Sun
day one of the, great days in the his
tory of the church. The Sunday school
has a special Easter program of music,
the children are to be to the fore.
The congregation should be maxi
mum —the pastor will speak on. The
Things Settled on the First Easter
Morning. The choir will put on spe
cial Easter numbers.
At eight o’clock in the evening there
will he held an Inspirational Union
service. The choirs of the four church
es will nnife to furnish music. Brief
talks will be made by a representative
from each of the churches on the Evan
gclistic Simultaneous services to be
gin in each church on the fourth Sun
day in April—just three weeks off
This should he a prophetic occasion.
The Methodist church most cordial

THE PERFECTION
DUSTER APPROVED
BY U S. DEPT. AGRI.
That the intelligent farmers of the
cotton belt intend to follow the instruc
tions given by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and all the different State
Boards of Entomology in their fight
against ti c boll weevil mei.nce, and
shall use the only method recommended
by these departments, namely: dry cal
ciura arsenate dusted upon the cotton,
is evidence by the demand for IVtfe
tion Cotton Dusters with home office
here in Winder.
The Perfection Duster which these
people manufacture is a two row pow
er duster, feeding calcium arsenate in
a smoke or powdered form upon two or”
more rows of cotton at one operation;
is drawn by one mule power and has
many advantages not to be found in
other machines designed for the similar
purpose that anywhere nearly ap
proaches it In efficiency, durability or
in ease in operation.
The Perfection Duster has the ap
proval of the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture! through Dr. B. It. Coad in
charge of the Delta Laboratory, Tallu
lah, La., together with the State De
partments of Agriculture and State
Boards of Entomology. In actual field
test this duster distributed as little as
one and sqiventh-tenths and a maximum
of ten and two-tenths pounds of cal
cium arsenate per acre. This fact ap
peals most strongly to officials as well
as to the cotton planter, who appreci
ates the fact that without even distrib
ution a large p teent of his poison is
wasted, piling up in some places and
skipping in others, a light, even dusting
is frequently necessary and cannot be
accomplished with other types of ma
chines.
The Perfection Duster Company is
represented by a number of our local
business men who have been traveling
Georgia. North and South Carolina es
tablishing agencies. From these, agen
cies, the company has orders already
in hand calling for shipment of sever
al thousand Perfection Dusters and ev
ery mail brings more orders, and in
quiries concerning agencies. Prepa ra
tion is being made to immediately es
tablish agencies throughout the states
of Alabama. Mississippi, Tennessee,
Louisiana. Arkansas, and Texas, and
manufacturing facilities must be more
Than tr<(hle in order to take rare of the
business that shall come from these es
tates, as indicated by the unsolicited
orders and inquiries already received
from this territory.
