COTTON WILL AVERAGE 25 CENTS
POUND IF IT IS MARKETED RIGHT
Talking with one of the best-in
formed men in the whole South about
cotton conditions a few days ago, we
asked him if he did not think this
year’s crop would average around 25
cents a pound after the market set
tled down.
“I believe the price will average
better than 25 cents,” was his answer.
We have been interested to find
that the best-informed men with
whom we have talked, almost with
out exception look for materially
higher prices for cotton. The crop
seems more likely to be under than
over the latest government estimates
and the quality is below normal, while
cotton factories are beginning to
speed up and beginning to increase
their orders for cotton.
It seems to us a good time to re
peat the old admonition, Market cot
ton slowly. For a man just to set
out doggedly to hold cotton is al
ways more or less of a gamble, but
to feed the market gradually is
nothing but plain horse sense. After
the cotton factories get enough cot
ton to supply immediate requirements
and a reasonable supply ahead, they
are then going to buy only at their
own prices. The wholesale “dump
ing” of the cotton crop in the fall
KILL THE 1925 WEEVILS NOW BY
DESTROYING ALL COTTON STALKS
The farmers of Hart county have
so many important jobs now that
should be done that it is hard to de
cide which is of the most importance.
Cotton is to be picked, hay is to cut
and save, wheat, oats, rye, vetch and
other fall crops are to be sown, and
last, but not of least importance,
some will consider the job of plowing
up cotton stalks before frost in an
effort to destroy a full crop of wee
vils before the season for hibernation.
Practically all of the cotton is open
and picked in a large number of fields
in Hart county except the hail dis
trict. The cotton stalks left have a
full growth of tender foliage on them
which is feeding the young weevils
before going into winter quarters.
There is no doubt but what the de
struction of these cotton stalks a
few weeks’ before frost is one of the
most effective means by which we can
approach the complete destruction of
the weevils. Before hibernation the
weevils can live only a few days with-
ORGANIZATION IS MADE
1 PUBLIC FOR “FORGET-ME
NOT DAY” DRIVE ON BTH
The purpose of the “Forget-Me-
Not Day” drive Nov. Bth, is to raise
a fund for the Disabled American
Veterans of the World War. This
drive has the support of the national,
state and city governments and has
also the untiring support of all the
patriotic and civic organizations.
The chairmen of the various com
mittees for the observance of this
day in Hart county are as follows:
Publicity Committee, Dr. T. R.
Gaines.
Women’s Committee, Mrs. T. S,
Mason.
Tag Committee, Mrs. W. L.
Murrow.
Finance Committee, Mr. W. G.
‘ Hodges.
The members of these committees
will be announced later by the chair
men.
In time of peace let us be as
patriotic as we were during the great
World War and let us give of our
means to help those who fought for
our lives and safety.
MRS. S. R. PATTON,
Chm. “Forget-Me-Not” Drive.
—o —
Atlanta, October 28, 1924. —An
extraordinary effort to have National
“Forget-Me-Not” Day observed on an
active scale in more cities and towns
in the United States, than ever be-
I fore in the history of the nation, will
be put forth by the members and
friends of the Disabled American
Veterans of the World War, on Sat
urday, November Bth according to
State Chairman Dr. Louis Prosterman
I the disabled mens’ organization, who
is heading this worthy enterprise
preparatory to the big “Day.”
Pointing out that last year’s “For
get-Me-Not” Day received the hearty
| endorsement and active support of
high government and civic officials,
President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge,
feeing among the extensive pur
chasers of forget-me-nots on the oc
casion, Dr. Prosterman asserted that
the same efforts will be put forth this
year to have general observance of
; the “Day”, and predicted that the
Mayors of practically all the towns
and cities in Georgia, will issue pro
clamations urging general observance
of “Forget-Me-Not” Day, and will
also assist Citizens’ Committee in the
successful conduct of the “Day”.
Women’s Clubs, societies and
young ladies’ organizations are en
gaged in completing their organiza
tion for that day. The disabled
American World War Veterans in
hospitals are also helping in this
work by stringing tags to be sold on
' that day for their particular benefit.
Proceeds of the day’s sale will go
towards the relief, welfare and re
habiliation activities for the nation’s
! wounded and disabled veterans of the
recent great war. In every commun
ity the active work of preparing for
“Forget-Me-Not” Day will be headed
by a prominent citizen.
The local Drive is headed by a
very able leader in civic affairs Mrs.
S. R. Patton. She has expressed that
there will be nothing left undone to
1 bring this Drive to a successful con
clusion.
The Disabled American Veterans
of the World War are sponsoring the

Bth.
each year (farmers sell 70 per cent
of the crop in September. October,
November, and December) has often
enabled them to do this and has been
a powerful factor in making Tow
priced cotton.
Formerly, of course, there was little
opportunity for remedying this situ
ation. Farmers were forced to dump
70 per cent of their cotton in four
months in order to get money to pay
their debts. But now farmers can
deliver their cotton to their co-opera
tive marketing associations, get rea
sonable advances for paying urgent
debts, and yet keep their cotton from
being piled down helplessly before
the consuming world with the impot
ent inquiry, “How much will you give
me for it?”
Plainly, it is only common sense
to feed the cotton market gradually.
And it seems to us equally plain that
cotton farmers everywhere should
join their co-operative marketing as
sociations and thereby obtain both
their coveted purposes: (1) the
steadying of prices through gradual
marketing and (2) the advance at
the time the cotton is ready for de
livery of sufficient cash to take care
of urgent debts.—Progressive Far

out food and since cotton is his only
food, then it is evident that the de
struction of cotton will also destroy
all weevil food. If this is done some
time before the weevils enter their
winter quarters, say two or three
weeks before frost, then there will
be wholesale dying of weevils if given
green cotton to feed on until cold
weather, would then store themselves
away in some nook or crevice to
await the coming of another cotton
crop, arid again “multiply and reple
nish the earth.”
Every farmer in Hart county will
be paid by destroying what cotton
stalks he possibly can. If the ground
is too dry and you haven’t time to
turn the land, rip up the stalks with
a two-horse middle buster. Os course
turning the stalks under is more im
portant, since if they are only ripped
up they may not completely die long
enough before frost to destroy wee
vils.
