What Good
Does It Do
You to Know
Something?
Advertisements in all Papers and
Magazines are all trying to appeal
to the intelligent. Now this one is
for the great majority. Reliable
authority, in fact it was the Draft
Boards during the War, figured out
that the intelligence of the average
Adult of this Country was that of a
!13 year old Child. (Now that is
giving us the best of it because a 13
year old Child is about the smartest
thing we have in this Country), but
the 13 year old Child they referred
to was one who had been raised on
the milk of human Kindness (which
is mostly Water) and weaned on a
Hard Boiled Egg. You know the
smarter the Man the more dissatis
fied he is, so cheer, up, let us be
happy in our ignorance. What do
we care how little we know if we
get what we want? “Bull” Dur
ham needs no Literacy Test, it is
with minority in quality, and with
the majority in usage.
P. S. This last sentence is all that
saved the add.
P. P. S. There will be another piece
here two weeks from now. Look for it.
SIXTY-FIVE YEARS AGO!
In 1860 a blend of tobacco
was bom—‘‘Bull” Durham.
On quality alone it has
•won recognition wherever
tobacco is known. It still
offers the public this— more
flavor, more enjoyment and
a lot more money left at the
end of a week's smoking.

WITH COUNTY AGENT BINGHAM
Poultry Sale
Hartwell loaded more than its al
lotted share of poultry last Friday.
About 3400 pounds was secured here.
Not so much was loaded at Bowers
ville because of the lateness of the
chickens there, but it is hoped that
that place will do its part on the next
run on this upper route which will
be June 26th.
Next Sale June 12th.
The next sale at Hartwell will be
June 12th, Friday. Stops will be
made at Royston, Elberton, and prob
ably Comer. Prices will probably be
available by Wednesday afternoon,
and you can get these by mail on a
card, by depositing 25c for the pur
pose of paying postage, writing cards,
etc. We will endeavor to give you
prices on bulletin board in court
house, and otherwise.
Prices last time were 20c for hens,
roosters 10c, Leghorn fryers 30c,
and others 35c, per pound. These
prices are better than you will prob
ably get on the next sale, because
prices always drop at this time of
year, and they are going to do it this
time in spite of all that you can do.
However, we cannot eat many fry
ers at 35c per pound, and since there
are large numbers to be consumed
now, the prices will have to be less
in order to get folks to eat them.
There is money in them at the prices
you will probably get. Os course we
should all strive to get our fryers
off earlier another year.
Some cannot understand why the
Leghorn fryers brought 5c a pound
less than others. You who have
tried peddling fryers in Anderson,
and even in Hartwell, find that they
are harder to get rid of. Ask your
wife who has dressed some at home,
and she will know the difference.
Stuffing.
We regret to say that many of the
chickens brought last time were
heavily packed with corn or other
feed. There was some complaint
about it. This is a hard thing to
handle. No one wants to buy fry
ers at 35c per pound and get a lot
of corn along with it. If this stuff
ing occurs again it is going to hurt
the reputation of Hart county poul
try, and thus hurt the price. If it
continues to occur each lot will have
to be examined, and those stuffed
will be DOCKED, and this means
that you will lose, because docking
will always be heavy, in spite of what
can be done. In addition it will lead
to disputes, just as you have had in
the past in selling stuffed chickens.
It is not right to stuff chickens just
before sale. It is alright to give
them a good feed of soft dough, but
to stuff them heavily will not get you
anywhere in the end.
Bean Beetle.
We have noticed the bean beetle
working heavily in several gardens.
Better dust with calcium arsenate,
one pound mixed with hydrated lime
nine pounds, putting it on the under
side of the leaves. Do not wait un
til you see them. They will be there
anyway, so prevent any damage by
dusting before hand.
Corn Worm*.
Worms are boring in the corn tops
now in many places. The remedy is
not good, but arsenate of lead one
pound mixed with five pounds of
lime, and dusted in the top will pay,
and may give control completely.
Calcium arsenate will work, but there
is more danger of burning your corn,
especially young corn. Mix it with
nine parts of lime, because it is more
poisonous than arsenate of lead.
Or the poisons can be mixed with
water at the rate of one tablespoon
ful to each gallon, and syrup and
soap added, and sprayed into the top
of the corn. It is well to add a lit
tle lime also to the water.
Club Leader*.
The Hart county club leaders will
meet at the court house Saturday af
ternoon at 2:00 I’. M., for their reg
ular monthly meeting.
Spraying Pay*.
We have heard numbers of farmers
say this year that they never be
lieve that spraying orchards would
pay so well. We have seen more
nice peaches this year in home or
chards than we ever saw before. Go
look at those orchards which were
not sprayed and see the worms and
how much rot there is.
Many pruned the orchards this
year but did not do a good enough
job. Remember that it will pay to
cut a tree heavily.
Testing Cow*.
It appears that several hundred
cows will be tested over the county
this week for tuberculosis. Full re
port will be given next week.
Every man should have his cows
tested. Some are making too much
out of the requirement for killing
diseased cows, but we believe that
this is not well understood, and that
most people will pay no attention
to this.
The danger from tubercular cows
is too great to allow anything like
this to stand in the way.
Soda On Cotton.
Soda should be put around cotton
as early as practicable. At planting
or not later than chopping is the
best time. Get yours on, 50 to 100
pounds per acre on average land at
once.
Corn should have soda when not
over knee high. It will pay to put
it on later many times, but as a rule
this knee high time is best.
JUNE THE CRITICAL MONTH
IN BOLL WEEVIL WARFARE
By The National 801 l Weevil Control
Association.
The month of June in most parts of
the Cotton Belt will be a critical per
iod in the boll weevil contest. The
farmer who is enabled to protect or
defend his cotton plants the nex’ few
weeks will get a sufficient number of
squares to make some crop in spite
of whatever may happen hereafter.
The farmer whose first squares arc
punctured by the boll weevil will
stand a small chance of making a cot
ton crop this year.
With the squaring of the plant,
THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., JUNE 5, 1925
dusting with calcium arsenate should
begin whenever as many as 10 to 15
I per cent of the squares show punc
tures by boll weevil. If the percent
age of punctured squares is not more
than 10 per cent at any given time,
dusting will be needless expense for
the simple reason that a large per
centage of the squares will drop un
der any circumstances and a 10 per
cent infestation is causing no damage
beyond this normal loss by shedding.
Large Emergence.
Reports from the observers of the
United States Department of Agri
culture and the agricultural colleges
at typical points throughout the Cot
ton Belt show that the emergence of
weevils from hibernation has been
rather large in most places and below
normal at only one or two points.
Hence the pest is entering the period
of its most serious depredations in
rather large numbers. What the de
velopment will be during June will
depend in considerable degree upon
the weather conditions. The weather
during May was rather favorable for
weevil development and if the June
weather conditions are the average
of the last few years (omitting the
exceptional weather of last June) the
farmer may expect a heavy attack.
The well informed and well prepar
ed farmer has not omitted to poison
the weevils that were found feeding
upon the leaf buds before the plants
began to square. That farmer has
delayed the period of heavy infesta
tion and his next step will be to use
calcium arsenate dust when the wee
vils puncture 10 to 15 per cent of
the squares.
The whole point of success in war
fare against the weevil is accurate
observation upon the actual condi
tions prevailing at any given time.
There is no hard and fast rule of uni
versal application which will control
the pest. There is no simple remedy.
There is no dead shot machine. It is
all a matter of close attention, thor
ough understanding of weevil habits
and readiness to give instant applica
tions of poison after the period of
squaring begins.
Economy in Poiioning.
Nor is there any invariable rule as
to the number of poisonings or the
intervals between poisoning because
the need will vary as the weather is
favorable or unfavorable to the in
sect. The wise farmer takes advan
tage of warm and dry periods and
lets the weather fight the battle
against the weevil. Experience shows
that about 5 to 7 pounds of calcium
arsenate per acre should be used at
each application and generally there
should be about three applications at
the rate of one every four days but
this rule is subject to modification ac
cordingly as to whether it rains short
ly after the poison has been applied.
In that case the poisoning should be
immediately repeated.
The sum of the poisoning experi
ence is that if no more than 10 out of
100 squares show puncture there is
no need to poison, but if more than
that percentage of squares are punc
tured it is well to begin poisoning.
Throughout the season the poisoning
when properly made should keep the
infestation of squares well below 25
per cent until the crop is completely
made. If that is done the farmer will
have obtained a normal cotton crop.

j
Question:
Why is a
Buick so safe and so easy
to steer?
:
Because of Buick’s
wonderful steering
mechanism. It is the
most expensive type
now installed on any
motor car—and worth
the difference because
it adds to Buick per
formance still another
point of superiority.
