It is said that Georgia will soon be so dry that ice will be nothing but blocks of dust. President Wilson’s national defense program is one the whole country can endorse. Knock the boll weevil’s slats out with a pig, a calf, a colt and some wheat and oats. When Georgia is officially dry what will the gimlet-headed pol itician have to run on?

HOW TO LIVE WITH THE BOLL WEEVIL A practical farmer and man of education, now in the service of the Department of Agriculture of the United States, was asked if it were possible to grow as much cotton with boll weevil as without it, and he answered, “Yes and no. No, if the farming methods now in vogue are fol lowed." His conversation was so inter esting that we publish it for the benefit of everybody. “For the first year," he said, “the weevil does not do much damage. The second year and the third year he works devas tation. About the fourth year the farmer begins to learn how to live with him. “I knew a farmer who grew 700 bales of cotton on 700 acres of land near Shreveport. The weevil cut his yield down to 100 bales. Two years later the far mer got his yield back to 700 bales. “There is a way of living with the boll weevil and here it is: Begin this year to make next year’s crop. This fall I would sacrifice some of the late cotton and immediately burn all the stalks and all the trash on the field. “I would do this to deprive the boll weevil of a protected home during the winter. “Then I would break the land. “Then I would break the land again in February. “Then I would plant three weeks before the normal time or just as soon as I could. “I would have the rows six feet apart, or wide enough so as to insure plenty of sunshine on every plant. “I would chop the cotton out as soon as possible and then be gin to plow. l would go over that cotton every ten days as long as it is safe to plow cotton. “That is what the successful Texas and Louisiana cotton grow ers do to beat boll weevil. It is keeping the soil clean, good pre paration for planting and rapid and frequent cultivation." —Ex.

LINIMENT “SAFETY FARMING” A program of “Safe Farming” for the South is outlined in a cir cular which the United States Department of Agriculture has sent to bankers, business men and farmers in the Cotton States. The safety measures recom mended are as follows: First: Produce a home garden for every family on the farm, the year round, paving special atten tion to a plot of Irish or sweet po tatoes sufficient to supply the family with food of this character. Where feasible, have a patch of sorghum or other cane to produce syrup for the family. Second: Produce the corn neces sary to support all of the people on the farm and the live stock, with absolute safety. Third: Produce the necessary oats and other small grain to sup plement the corn as food. Pay attention to winter grazing. Fourth: Produce hay and for age from some forage crop suffi cient to supply all of the live stock on the farm. Use legumes such as clover, cowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans and alfalfa for the production of hay and to en rich the soil with nitrogen and humus. Fifth: Produce the meat neces sary to supply the people, through increased attention to poultry and hogs, especially. Plan to increase gradually the number of cattle and other live stock so as to have sufficient number to consume the waste products of the farm and make the waste lands productive. Sixth: After all of these things have been amply provided for, produce cotton for the market. fhe Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head Because of its tonic and laxative effect, LAXA TIVE BROMO QUININE is betterthan ordinary Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor ringing in head.
