UGLY COTTON RUGS
IN COWETA COUNTY
On last Friday Willie Boliunon, a
colored tenant on Mr. W. P. Arnold’s
Third district plantation, brought
to the Herald office two ugly little
bugs that he had found among his
cotton, and which he feared were
the much dreaded boll weevil. 'I he
editor carried the specimens to the
State Entomologist on Saturday for
examination. ’Hie entomologist
merely glanced at the specimens
and announced without hesitation
that they were not boll weevils,
but “cowpca pod weevils.” He said
they are frequently found on cot
ton when this crop follows cow-
peas, but that as a rule they do lit
tle damage to cotton, only feeding
on the tender buds for ashort time,
the entomologist said, however, that
the boll weevil is sure to invade
this section, and when he comes
he will be here to stay, lie advises

HERE’S A GOOD OBJECT LESSON
From the Moultrie Observer we
take the following item that should
he of interest not only lo farmers
hut others who have any interest
in diversification:
Mr. York Webb, of Funston,
bought a hog from the Moultrie
Packing Company on March 27,
1915, for $17:60 and on Satur
day lie sold her hack to the
plant for $20.
Wait a minute, that is not all
of the story. During the little
over a year that Mr, Webb own
ed the sow he sold pigs from
her amounting to $96.40, and
still lias 15 pigs on hand from
one and the same hog.
Now, who can say that livestock
raising will not pay. Placing the 15
pigs that this farmer still lias on
hand at $5.00 each, which they are
no doubt well worth, he has real
ized in a little over one year some
where around $145 on an invest
ment of $17.50. Who can beat that
raising cotton?—Telfair Enterprise.

New Oakland Six
“Sturdy as the Oak”
Model 32-Six Motor
Are you looking for car light in weight yet strong in power and
endurance? Then Oakland recommends to you the Light Six a six
that weighs but 2100 pounds.
And yet it is big enough to carry five people comfortably.
It has all the smoothness and flexbility of six cylinder with the
advantage of long tire mileage and low fuel cost.
The Oakland Light Six develops 30 to 35 horse power which,
with its light weight, will carry you easily over any road.
You can turn quickly in a short space with this car; you can
worm through congested traffic from a crawl, or accelerate to a lightning
get-away with equal ease.
All Oakland asks is that you compare the specifications of this
car with any other of a similar or nearly similar price. Your own good
judgment will be a satisfactory answer.
The Oakland line for 1916 includes Roadsters, Speedsters, Five
and Seven-passenger Models of four, six, and eight cylinder types.
We believe this line covers a wider range of choice, both in kind
and in price, than is offered to you this season by any other make of
Internationally popular cars.
Come to see us and let us demonstrate at our expense to your
satisfaction, then judge for yourself.
Test the fuel consumption.

STRANGE WORM DESTROYING
CORN CROP IN COWETA
Young corn in the western part of
the county is being literally destroy
ed by a strange worm that made its
appearance in that section a few
days ago. Mr. Mat Story, whose
farm is just beyond Welcome, had
fifteen acres in one field nearly
^■eady to tassel out that has been
completely ruined. The worm has
appeared also in the farms of
Messrs. Joe Dial, J. W. Summers,
Snow Summers, and others, and its
ravages areapparent on all sides.
Mr. J. H. Blackwell, farm demon
stration agent, visited the infected
fields this morning and says the de
vastation wrought by this new and
unidentified pest is startling. There
seems to be no way to check its
ravages, as the worm begins at the
root and works its way up through
the stalk, where it embeds itself.
Mr. Blackwell says the worm is a
total stranger to this section, and
and one that he has never before
encountered. He got in communi
cation with the State Department
of Entomology this morning and
asked that art expert from the de
partment besent here to inspect the
infested fields, and if possible sug
gest some effective method of fight
ing the pest.—Newnan Herald.
France has an old score to settle
with Germany—a defeat in arms, a
huge indemnity imposed as a pen
alty of defeat, the loss of important
and much-prized provinces, follow
ed by a succession of humiliating
interferences with its polices, both
foregn and domestic. France was
patient. It never sougnt a quarrel
with Germany. Even when the
present war was pending, it lent its
aid to every proposal that would
tend to preserve peace.
v But the war that France did not
seek was forced upon it; and nobly
has the nation borne itself during
these months. In the event of vic
tory it can make no demand that its
allies will not gladly support. It is
not likely, however, to ask for any
territory except lost province on
the Rhine. As an act of retribu
tive justice it would he entitled to
eturn of those millards in cash
that Germany exacted in 1871. If
France should win its great gain
would be to get rid of the overbear
ing surveillance and the imperious
dictation that it has suffered from
German chancellors, from Bismarck
to Bethmann Hollweg.
Yet if the victory rests with the
Entente Allies, France will have a
great part in t-he new Europe. The
ancient hostility between France
and Great Britain had disappeared
before the war began, and broth-
