COUNTY AGENT AND
OTHERS MAKE VISIT TO
LUNSFORD’S PASTURE
MR. E. B. MARTIN DIED
MONDAY MORNING
On May 15th, a party of eleven men
from Carroll oounty visited the much
talked of pasture on the fnrm of
Evans Lunsford at Covington, Qa.
Both the pasture and the Hereford cat
tle were good to look at, at this timv,
and the evidences wore that they had
gone through the winter the same way.
One man who had a son to make this
trip had seven ncros set in Bvrumda
grass within two woeks after'the visit.
Burr clover and other pasture plants
will be added to this in due season. This
farmer told the County Agent that he
■would convert his whole fann into a
pasture if his son should say so.
This visit to the Lunsford pasture
created quite a little talk among those
who mnde this trip and perhaps parti
ally as n result of this visit n second
party of about twenty-five wns gotten
together and made the trip over to see
this wonderful pasthre a week later.
On May 31st, the County Agent wns
asked to moot with the Trade Board to
give report of the work being done by
the County Agricultural Agencies within
the county. Mention wns made of tho
Lunsford pasture in this mooting and
many questions were asked. Among
other things it was suggested thnt a
party of business men visit Lunsford’s
olaco in order that they might get
first hand information ns to the possi
bilities of permanent, year-round pas
tures for this section of Georgia. Grow
ing out of this suggestion was a sug
gestion that such party tukc two days
instead of one and include the State
Agricultural College at Athens. .Tune
19th and 20th was sot ns the date for
this trip and about twenty men signed
with the County Agent for the trip.
But for various reasons several of these
had to wtihdrnw and only five men
nu.de the trip. The party left Carroll
ton early Tuesday morning and arrived
in Athens (via. Atlanta, Lawrence-
ville and Winder) by eleven o’clock, re
maining there, looking over the Univer
sity campus and Agricultural College,
including the main building, tho green
house, the poultry plant and other
p’nces of interest, until about five o -
clock when we left for Monroo where
we spent the night.
Before tho dew was dry on Wednes
day morning tho party was wnlking
through the tall Bormiula grass, Dallas
grass and vetch growing at this season
in the Lunsford pasture. The cattle
were soon located and were found to
be resting' In Tlrd sti^df at this time,
when the dew was. jtlll on the grass.
Very lazy like, ajtfB one at the time,
thev crossed tlmismall stream near by
and passed into tho grass beyond.
Eleven-thirty o’clock found the party
at Indian Springs near Jackson where
wc.ipnelied, and by two o’clock wore in
Griffin where we paused to soe Mr.
Trimble, once secretary of Trade Board,
and also to visit the Georgia Experi
ment Station.
After an illness of more than a year,
Mr. E. B. Martin passed away at his
home on Stewart streot in this city ou
Monday morning, .Tune 25th, at the
age of 67 years.
The funeral services were held in the
First Methodist church in this city
Tuesday afternoon conducted by Rev.
11. L. Edmondson, of Bnrnosvilo, Ga.
Interment was in the city cemetery.
The cause of Mr. Martin’s death is
traceable to a. fall about 1 eighteen
months ago when he fell across a wagon
bed in Stewart’s wagon yard and bToke
two ribs, and from these broken ribs he
hns suffered all these montlis. The last
time Mr. Martin came up town was last
Octobor. He had been confiined to the
bed since January.
Ho wob born in this county in 1856,
on the Martin place about two miles
south of town. Ho resided there until
about twenty years ago when he moved
to Carrollton.
In early life he was united in mar
riage to Miss Mollie Bonner. Besides
his wife, he is survived by fivo sons
and two daughters. The sons nre:
Earl Martin, Tampa, Fla.; Butler Mar
tin, Jr., Enslev, Ala.; John Martin, of
Atlanta; Sain' Martin, Oak Mountain,
this county, and Tom Martin, who re
sides here with the family. The daugh
ters are: Mrs. T. W. Dimmock, .Tr., of
Atlanta, and Mrs. R. N. Boggs, of this
city,
Tho bereaved family hns the pro
found sympathy of a large circle of
friends.
RED RUST IS ATTACKING
YOUNG COTTON IN SOME
SECTIONS OF COUNTY
Elizabeth Harris Girls’ Club
The club held its regular meeting
on Hiturdnv, .Tune 23rd. A “Bread Con
test” wns held and much interest was
manifested. Miss Beatrice Almon and
Miss Vcrma Fountain were the win-

Since complaints are being made
thnt red rust is now attacking tho
young cotton plants in some sections of
the county, it seems an opportune time
to devote a little study to the so-called
red rust.
What is known by many as red rust
in cotton is caused by a little red spi
der, which is in reality, a small red
mite that lays its colorless eggs in
the spring on tho under surfnceeof the
leaves where the mites feed by sucking
the juices. Many kinds of plants aro
attacked, and serious injury often times
result.
When plants nre attacked tho injury
is very evident, for the affected leaves
become yellow and shriveled, and final
ly dry up completely.
The adult females may vary in color,
from red to yellow, or green, or brown.
Here in the South they pass the winter
on weeds, or cultivated plants; migra
ting to the cotton fields in the spring.
A few years ago the damage to the
cotton crop of South Carolina alone wns
estimated at nearly four hundred thous
and dollars, which shows the possibility
of damage to tho crop if not properly
controlled. It is possible that during
n sovero red spider year the South may
suffer a loss running into the millions
of dollars.
The measures of control that nre
advised are to destroy weeds in winter,
allow no polk-stalks to grow on the
premises; spray or destroy violet beds
where mites occur, if such beds nre near
the cotton.
After the plants have been attacked
use either of the following sprays:
1. To three gallons of water, add
one pound of the flowers of sulphur.
To make the sulphur mix onsily with
the water, add one ounce of soap to
six gallons of water. Apply to the
under sides of the leaves.
2. One part of nicotine sulphate to
throe thousand parts of water; with one
pound of whale-oil soap, or fish-oil soap
to each 25 gallons of water. This is a
verv efficient spray. Apply ns No. 1.
Care should be esswejsed (in putting
on tho sprays, and in moroly walking
through the affected spots, that the
mites nre not carried to other parts of
the field on the clothing.
The farmer that succeeds in tho fu
ture must necessarily become a student
of bugs and worms; learning their na
ture and habits, together with the
ethods of control. Truly the agricul
every meeting and try to get there
on time. Lot every member keep in
mind nnd live up to our motto, ('Make. („Vnl. Weeto+ot. vwimttonal ^iic.ation^l

To a few, its meaning is real.
Many others remember it as a present day of

Our fathers endured the hardships of WAR, BIT

and a thoughtful saving habit. Now is the time—
