The situation regarding the boll weevil at this date is more serious han at this time last year. Although the damage is not serious yet, great apprehension is felt due to the in ease in numbers present. This pest is now reported in 463 counties, as, as against 223 last year, and 524 in 1923.

The percentage condition of the crop has deteriorated, the past two weeks, 1.4 per cent. The condition is now 72.3 per cent, compared with 73.7 per cent two weeks ago, 73.1 per cent at this date last year, and 70.1 per cent in 1923. The indicated yield, based on the Government’s acreage figures of 46,- 448,000 acres and a condition of 72.3 per cent, is 14,114,000 bales.

HARTWELL, GA., JULY 24, 1925 “FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH” New England is a beautiful spot this time of the year. It is a coun try of paved roads and prosperous cities and hustling natives. Its coun try-side is a vision of well kept farms and tidy farm-houses, many of which still stand after fifty or more years’ service and everywhere one finds a neatness and look of thriftiness around these placese that gives a bet ter picture than anything else of the hardy New Englander. Yes, New England is beautiful at this season of the year. In Attleboro, a typical little manufacturing city of Massa chusetts, by day the roar and hum of the factories are on every hand. Everyone works. Then as the day draws to a close there is a sudden halt in the steady toil and the whirl of machinery ceases and out of the various manufacturing plants come the crowds of homeward bound work ers. Another day gone. And riding out of this little city we leave behind us the unsightly factory buildings for the simple beauty of the country. Os green trees and a thick foliage on every side and gently rolling land carpeted with a velvety smoothness. And little brooks half-hidden merrily chirping away with now and then an old store house, a relic of past years, set back amidst giant trees and time worn paths. Abundance of water. Frequent lakes, whose dark pools gleam in the rays of a setting sun and reflect the sombre shadows of surrounding objects. All of New England is a veritable paradise of living things, especially that section hereabouts for rains are frequent and there are numerous streams to feed the parched earth. Only a few' miles away in the ocean. Unlike any other people in my ex perience, are the New Englanders, themselves. New York, with its con glomeration of riff-raff never excites anything but disgust and extreme dislike in my heart as the years go by. The North, the East as a whole, for that matter never has accentu ated but one thing in my mind in all my travels there and that is, the utter selfishness and coldness of their people and the absolute lack of con ception of courtesy and the little things that make life a pleasant ex perience. I stayed several days in both New York and Philadelphia and not once did I see a single soul smile a real smile or laugh a hearty laugh (exception, of course, Chas. Teas ley). It has always been 'so. But, in that small part of the United States known as New England there exists a people who are different: who, while not as hospitable and warm as Southern people, have a courteous attitude and a more un selfish view of life; who, exhibit on the whole both to stranger and neighbor, a kinder air of solicitude and set themselves apart as being refined and cultured. It is a revela tion to hear these people talk, for their English is generally perfect and though their views may be hard and ■at sometimes loud, only a pure rhythm of correct language flows from the mouth of a speaker. Ex cepting the foreign-born element, most New Englanders date back to an early period in American history and are rather proud of it. And, so it is, that we find factory workers and laborers of all sorts and people in every walk of life with the speech of trained linguists. “Ain’t” is an unknown word up here and every other false word that is familiar with we of the South. Instead, one hears “aren’t” and “can’t” (English style) and the frequent words of everyday use, said in regular Sunday style. Glimpses of New York—, out of New England via a limited train to New York. The Grand Central Sta tion where one needs a special guide to find the exits and the street. And being a "country boy” I signal for a Red Cap who pilots me to a waiting taxi. Night-time. The roar of traf fic and the flashing electric signs. Up Broadway, with the throngs of theatre-goers on either side and the rows of pulsing taxis and trbeks and autos, three abreast charging back and forth. Up Broadway to 42nd street, the theatre district, thence to our hotel. A shor trest and again out in the crowd. A sightseeing bus to Chinatown ready to leave lures us. In we hop and begin the journey. Up Broadway for a while then into the narrow streets of the slums. Where the'streets are littered with ill-smell ing stores and sweat shops and dirty i children romp carelessly amidst the passing traffic. And, frowsy old ladies and ragged men sit in door ways peering in the street with list less eyes. The Bowery. Whose for mer name besought visions of a row-, dy night-life—of gangs and thugs and wide-open saloons and gambling houses. But now, —a quieter section of New York whose inhabitants are a well-behaved group of the poorer class and whose former saloons are picture shows and soft drink stands. Then inty a street of better appear ance. Chinatown. Row after row of oriental shops and chop suey places, j Sidewalks lined wiht Chinamen, some in American clothes, many in native costumes of black coats and hair braided. We stop at a Joss House. With its carved images and the smell , of incense. And up long winding stairs to the shrine itself where lone ly Chinese worship in their native way. Thence, back again to Broad way. Into a hqppier atmosphere. The theatre crowds are out noV-, pouring an avalanche of people into the streets. Taxis whirl by and now , and then an open-air hansom with a top-hatted driver in front pauses for a passenger or two passengers. Os all of New York’s sights, this relic of old times struck me as the most odd. Back to the hotel and then to bed. Further glimpses of New York — In day time. The ceaseless roar of traffic. The hurrying crowds with never a smile but always that hurried look of the pursued. Foreigners and swarthy East aiders. Shop girls, By E.8.8 .Jr. over-roughed and raucously common. A whole city of Hebrews with only now and then a Gentile. The jargon of stiange tongues in the air of newly arrived emigrants and older flotsam from Europe. Many of whom will never learn English nor their privilege to live here nor understand America and its opportunities. If America were to close its doors for ever to emigration it w’ould be far better off. But the New York in day-time goes on. A hurrying crowd of humtnity, each one for himself. Points of interest about New York Broadway—, the greatest street in the world with its conglomoration of every class of people and its rushing crowds. Fifth Ave.—, where the “Elite do their stuff" and the home of exclu sive shops. The better class of peo ple walk this section. Mounted policemen—, who sit as tride of handsome nags with never a job to do. The most glaring of the city’s political plums. Taxis—, forever and ever, a steady stream up and down every street. Every color from the famous “Yel low” to all shades of red and purple. New York’s taxi is the cheapest in America. Posting about an average of 50 per cent less for any trip than the same distance would cost in At lanta or any other city. New York's people—, a potpourri of every nationality and mixture of blood but mostly Jews. A people with a heart of stone and the man ners of the ally-rat. Apartment houses—, block after block of them from one room affairs to palatial suite of rooms. And now —the smartest of all ideas, the tiny little homes complete in every detail even to a little garden, atop of all the giant office buildings in the city where happy families live and pay from twelve to fifteen thousand dol lars per year for the privilege. Sigh seeing cars—-, catering to “country boys,” like myself but al ways filled with awe-stricken pas sengers ready to see the sights in the easiest way. Theatres—, housing America's fin est and newest shows. A lounge room in each for the smokers, now adays crowded with the feminine smokers along with their male com panions. Double deck busses—, running along the principal streets, the easiest and cheapest way to see the city. New York, the magnificent—sub ways, elevated cars, — a million won ders. o * CAMPGROUND Crops are looking good in this sec tion, but a good rain would be helpful.
