Ty Ty, Ga., Oct. 21, 1916. !
If you should see on the a treets
of Ty Ty a crowd of men, listening,
with intense interest to something
being said by a speaker that cannot
be seen because the audience press
es go closely to him, don't think that
it is a faker’s speil being delivered;
it is Mr. W. J. Sikes, of the boll
weevil investigators, just returned
from Alabama. y
The people of Alabama told
these gentlemen, “When you go
back to Georgia, don’t sto p at tell
ing the people not to plant cotton
next year—PREACH it to them.’’ j
Mr. Sikes is certainly doing his;
part of the preaching. While in Ala- j
bama, he and those with him saw ‘
and heard enough to convince them 1
that it would be folly to attempt j
the cultivation of cotton in Georgia
unless something can be done to de-j
stroy the weevils. One man was,
found who rented land and planted j
fifty acres on shares, he received;
one-fifth. His part of the crop, when 1
it was gathered, was eight pounds, j
Don’t think the foregoing is a ty
pographical mistake, and that the
statement should read eight bales,
which is little enough; it was eight
pounds to the tenant, the entire crop
amounting to thirty two pounds.
This is one instance of several.
The Alabama farmers of 1915 were
like the Georgia farmers of 1916,
The good fortune of those who suc
ceeded caused all to hope that th(j
weevil might be outwitted. They
planted cotton, after being warn
ed, and the result was ruin.
The Ty Ty party went through
several sections of Alabama and
found the same conditions every
where.
The remedy suggested everywhere
is groundpeas. Even the small towns
are putting up, or already have in
operation, mills for crushing the peas
and everywhere results have been
most satisfactory.
In Ozark, the rich man of the
place, Mr. J. D. Holman, had a
tenant who, because of much plant
ing of cotton, wa9 in debt to him
$800. Mr. Holman agreed to run this
tenant (a negro) for another year,
provided the tenant would plant
twenty-five acres in groundpeas.
The groundpeas were planted and
from that crop the tenant paid the
$800, the additional debt incurred
for 1916, and had something left
over, besides feed for hogs and oth
er stock.
The meal trom groundpeas con
tains the hulls and all else that re
mains of the peas after the oil is
extracted. It is said to be far more
nutritious than cotton seed meal,
and better in every way for stock.
The Spanish groundpea, it is said,
is the most profitable variety to
plant, as it is earlier, more easily
cultivated and contains a larger per
centage of oil—fifty per cent., the
Department of Agriculture says.
The usual reasons were advanced,
aside from the boll weevil trouble,
why groundpeas should be planted
instead of cotton—a surer crop,
and more easily and more cheaply
cultivated, more easily

and so on.
Mr. Sikes' audience listened with
great attention, and then dispersed
to decide on the best variety of ear
ly cotton, the best methods of culti
vation and the largest acreage it
would be safe to plant.
Cotton, like most other kings,
will not abdicate until he is obliged
t«.
BUYERS OF COTTON.
Mr. W. F,. Williams, Mr. W. B.
Parks and Mr. Aaron Parks have
been buying cotton and so have
many others in Ty Ty, as to that.
These th.ee were buyin/ individually
but they sold and shipped at the
same time a lot of 350 bales. Cot
ton continued to climb, and if they
had held on a few hours longer, they
would have made more than twice
as much money,
Mr. Aaron Parks says that he
made $965.99 on, the deal, and is
willing to let it go at that—not be
ing hoggish. The other two have
not been heard from.
Other buyers holding on with
grim determination, probably wait- whence. You Newt a Generali
ing for the 20 cents point to be Take Grove's^'

continue to buy.
