Only work will ever get the folks anything. No party can do anything very material along such line. It is silly to hear softie folks talk about what the parties aim going to do. They are going to do the people, that is all.” O We heartily agree with the* Atlanta Constitution, when in discussing the state highway department, it says. “The whole problem should be worked out as an economic and not a political problem. Har mony should prevail, and discord should be ironed out. This can bo done by making of the highway matter a strict business issue, and it is, and de serves to be handled. Petty polities and political expediences and prejudices have been a draw hack to Georgia progress long enough." The Atlanta Georgian is about right when it says that the gentleman who Is agitating “Father’s Day” in this country might as well quit. He is getting nowhere. In the first place, “father" does not want a day set aside for his glorification; he knows, good and well, who in the 1 mg run must pay for the trappings and trimmings thereof. He can go out and celebrate the day on his own account, with a good cigar—and a considerable saving of expense. BETHLEHEM NEWS Mr. and Mrs. W. C.

Too Many Laws one of the tendencies of our times is that every man can he made prosperous and that every evil can lx* corrected by legislation. Nothing is further from the truth. We have too many laws Many of them are not enforced and this brings all our laws Into disrepute. Too many laws mean that the government is encroaching upon the governed, and this leads to Lad results. Another evil connected with too many laws is the tremendous expense at tached to their enforcement. This country is keep ing up today a greut horde of office-holders who are trying in a way to enforce the laws that have been put upon our statute books. Some things must be left to the individual to work out, and the main one is his own prosperity. You can t legislate him into it. Industrial Development Winder should have learned by now the impor tance of industrial and agricultural development to our community. Our prosperity rests upon these essential phases of activities. If a manufacturing plant in our city closes down, it cripples the com munity to the extent of its prominence and the amount of money it distributes regularly in the city. Our schools, churches, professional and mer cantile establishments suffer proportionately. The comfortable homes are affected and a paralyzing influence is felt by all. Our prosperity rests on the basis of sound industrial and agricultural growth and it behooves us to do all in our power to keep those conditions settled and secure. Hence, Winder should tie vitally interested in se curing for our city other manufacturng plants, and also in re-establishing our agricultural enterprises upon a substantial basis. In order to do this, we must manifest the spirit of co-operation. We must stand by our home interprises. We must pull to gether for our city and for the prosperity of our far mers. Winder and Barrow county are coming back rapidly. Let every one within the county stand to gether and work together and we shall lie able to rejoice shortly in anew era of prosperity. Georgia Not Lagging Behind. From many quarters the complaint has gone forth that Georgia is pursuing a niggardly policy towards her educational institutions and the Confederate soldiers within her borders. Such is not the case if the circular letter sent out by the Georgia Taxpayers League is to Me believed. We reprint this letter that our readers may know that, our state is doing about as well as other states for education and pensions. Deiy Mr. Taxpayer: Doubtless you have read statements recently to the effect that Georgia is lagging shamefully lie hind other southern states in giving aid' to education and pensions. These statements do our state 1 a great injustice. Asa matter of fact, Georgia is giving more to the cause of education than any other southern state 1 east of the Mississippi, anel is giving more te> Con federate pensions than any either state. The state 1 give's more te> education alone, than she gets from general taxes e>f all sends. In 1922, the 1 tot a 1 general tax collected amounted to $5,126,000. The state paid out to the public schools anel the in stltiitleuis of higher learning $5,818,000. Education recedveel all the taxe-s frenn farm lands, from city and town real e'state 1 and manly $2,500,000 ill aeieli t ion. In 1922, Georgia paid to public schools $4,577,000; to the* University, Tech anel branch solleges $1,241,000 making a teital of $5,818,000. In 1922, Georgia collected from city,and town prop erty $1,840,000; from farm lands $1,520,000, making a teital eif $3,360,000. Hence, the excess received by education is $2,458,000. Here are the official figures for education paid by Georgia and three either southern states: Ge'orgia—For phblic schools $4,577,000; for liigli e>r institutions $1:241,OO0. Teital $5,818,000. Kentucky—Feir public scheieils $4,053,000; fur higher institutiems $601,000. Total $4,714,000. Virginia—For jml>l ie* schools $2,653,000; for high er institutions $1,518,000. Total $4,171,000. North (Carolina —For public scheieils $1,270,000; for higher institutions, $1,966,(MM). Total $3,136,000. The above figures show that Georgia is giving over a million dollars metre for education than any of the state's mentioneel. And the records show that this state gives more for pensions than any other southern state. And yet there are many who be littlel Georgia. W. W. Parks. Sunday. Mr. C. A.

MOLASSES POISONS for BOLL WEEVIL NOT JUSTIFIED, GOVERNMENT FINDS In poisoning the cotton boll weevil with calcium arsenate, nothing is gain ed and a great deal is lost by mixing the poison with molasses or molasses and water, say the boll weevil special ists of the United States Department of agriculture It is better, they say, to stick to dry calcium arsenate dust ed on the plants as recommended by the department for several years past. This announcement is based on pains taking trials of the molasses mixtures conducted at the Delta Laboratory at Tallulah, La., at a number of other points in the cotton belt, and on obser vations of result s secured by farmers in various states who attempted last year to follow the molasses method. The department authorities state that the molasses-calcium arsenate method does exercise a measure of con trol under certain favorable conditions for a short period, but it is less effect ive than dry arsenate and it costs more. The Department found long ago that success in boll weevil poisoning de pends on complete covering of the plants with the poison, and this can be accomplished only by applying it in the form of a dust cloud that will set tle down over all surfaces of the plants. A Warning to Cotton Planters Against Fake Weevil Remedies The present great interest in the boll weevil problem in the Southeastern States has resulted in a large number e>f patented preparations and machines which are being vigorously exploited says the United States Department of Agriculture. This is a repetition of what lias occurred in every region in vaded by the boll weevil. During the first few years the farmers are ex ploited and many useless or practically useless devices are sold to them. In a few years, however, history shows that such organizations go out of bus ituss. Tlieir operations are especially important at the present time, since Press Service Department of Agriculture. Shun Liquid Sprays for Poisoning 801 l Weevil A warning against the liquid sprayer attachments to cotton poisoning machin ery is issued by R. R. Goad, director of the boll weevil laboratory of the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture. Calcium arsenate applied as a dust, he points out. is the only certain means yet found for controlling the boll wee vil and any effort at control by means of liquid sprays is useless. Sprayer attachments are. therefore, not only unnecessary but are an added burden. They increase the cost of the machin ery and make it more complicated to operate The liquid spray even if it were as effective as the dust method would be decidedly more expensive. It would necessitate the use of water arts to feed the machines, would de mand an ample and constant water supply which is not available on most farms, and in various ways would in crease the cost of poisoning operations, Orchardists who have to conduct pois oning operations regularly are constant ly searching for poisons that can be dusted instead of sprayed. Cotton Beware of “Patented” or Secret 801 l Weevil Remedies Mr. Wilmou Nowell, director of the Florida Experiment Station says: "Many parties, are taking advantage of the farmers’ present urgent need for some means of fighting the Doll weevil ml are advertising and selling prepa rations and boll weevil ‘remedies of various kinds.” These things have been sold to farm ers for the last 20 years and the per- THE PERFECTION COTTON DUSTER Is Enclosed by The United States Department of Agriculture through Dr. It.

Home Office: Winder, Ga. ;r: INSURANCE Your neighbor’s home burned only a few days or months ago and a cymonef is likely to strike this section at any time, so INSURE with US and lie down, at night with a clear conscience and a peaceful mind. Don’t DELAY. It may mean the loss of your home. Any man can build a home once. A WISE man insures his property in a reliable insurance company so that when calamity comes he can build again. He owes the protection that it gives, to his peac* of mind and the care of his lovedones. ’ Kilgore, Radford & Smith The methods of application recom mended by the advocates of the molas ses mixtures were tried out by the De partment years ago and found unwork able, but they were given another thor ough trial last season after the molas ses method began to be again widely advocated in the more newly infested portions of the cotton belt. The Molas ses-Calcium arsenate mixture was found to exercise a considerate meas ure of control over the weevil in very dry weather and when the plants were "very small The control was lost with the coming of wet weather and, even the weather continued dry, control was lost after the plants passed a few in ches in height. In five out of six field trials, the plats with dry calcium arsenate made more cotton than the corresponding plats with molasses-cal cium arsenate, the difference ranging as high as 399 pounds of seed cotton to the acre. In one trial, an unpoison ed check plat made 30 pounds more seed cotton to the acre than the corre sponding plat poisoned with molasses calcium arsenate. Careful figures were kept as to the relative cost of the two systems of poisoning. The cost of materials for the dry calcium arsenate system was (COPY) the losses caused by the boll weevil will be increased by the expense of buying nostrums of various kinds. The Department of Agriculture and many of the States experiments Sta tions have tested the new boll weevil remedies which have been proposed from year to year and many of these now being offered the public are not essentially different from the kind that have been tested and discarded. The State and Government institu tions are anxious to help the farmers through the agency of any new methods of controlling the boll weevil which may be discovered As promptly as possible careful tests are conducted. (COPY) growers are very fortunate in that the one really effective method of controll ing the boll weevil is the dust method and they should not waste time and money, Mr. Coad points out, in expe rimenting with the expensive spray methods that farmers in other lines are continually trying to got away from In addition to the foregoing spray ing equipment we also find on the mar ket many curious devices for applying some liquil preparation, usually con taining calcium arsenate, for the con trol of the boll weevil. Some of these are to be attached to plows, others to cultivators, while still others run in dependently. They are usually pro vided with some exceedingly simple form of tank with a gravity flow of liquid, which either drips on the plants or is wiped on them by some form of brushes or rags. Many such imple ments are absolutely comical, and the only sad feature is the fact that some farmers are foolish enough to purchase them. The literature advertising these implements promises wonderful results sons selling them have usually made a they are insidious for no one dares to “clean up by the time the farmer hassay that a substance attractive to the had time to find out through trial and weevils will not be discovered.” Dr. experience that the preparations are Nowell’s statement says: “The far worthless. Some advertisers are evenmer should remember, however, that claiming that their particular “cure”thousands of experiments made during is attractive to the weevils t.nd thatthe last 25. years have failed to dis thc weevils literally fall over each oth-elose any substance more attractive to er in getting to it and eating it. the weevils than the growing cotton “Such claims are as attractive as itself.” (COPY) UNDER THE CAPTION Subscription Price: $1.50 Per Year. 65 cents per acre for each application. The cost of materials for the molasses calcium arsenate treatment ranged from 70 cents per acre for each appli cation when black molasses was used to $1.49 per acre for each application when table sirup was used. The man labor cost of applying the poison was 14 cents per acre per application for dry calcium arsenate and 22 cents for the molasses mixture. The machinery cost for applying the dry calcium arse nate averaged 15 cents per acre for each application. The molasses mixt- , ure was applied with home-made mops and no machinery c.st was figured against it. though this item would have to be figured in plantation scale oper ations. Even with this advantage, the total cost of applying the molasses mixture ranged from 92 cents to $1,71 against an average of 94 cents for the dry calcium arsenate. The Department concludes, therefore, that the use of the molasses mixture is not justified either on the ground of control or economy. Farmers who wish more detailed information on this subject can have it free by writing the Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La., where the boll weevil work of the Depart ment is centered. The department strongly recommends that farmers exercise due caution in spending money for new boll weevil remedies. In all cases farmers should demand evidence of official tests and dommunicate with their experiment stations for detailed evidence of infor-t mation regarding any of the new rem edies. If anything of value is discov ered by the state experiment stations or by the Federal Department, prompt and widespread notice of the fact will be given the public. In the meantime it is safe to say that in all probabili ty any mosey spent for patented mixt ures or machines will be wasted. FORM A-10S and the directions given often call for only a small fraction of a pound of poison per acre, which is distributed over the plants in a very irregular manner. To expect boll weevil control from such methods is absolutely ab surd. The Department specialists have been attempting boll weevil control with liquid applications for many years. In these tests they use the fin est available high pressure spraying machinery, distributing the liquid pois on over the plants in a mist form, thus reaching absolutely every part of the plant. Furthermore, these applications are usually made at the rate of 10(> gallons of solution per acre. In spite of this these spray applications do not control the boll weevil, and how can any one expect to secure benefit from the atysqrd recomine ll datfloiis issued with some of the machines now offered the farmers. Farmers who desire more detailed in formation on this subject may secure it free of charge by writing the Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La.
