C. A. Meeks Publisher VOL. XXXVI, NO. 29—EST CARROLLTON, GA., THURS Di Y, JUNE 28, 1923 tBLISHED 1886 SUBSCRIPTION, $1.00 PER YEAR 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- The club hns been working for some time to secure equipment, and wo are graetlv encouraged at the progress made. We most heartily thank each and every one for tho nrticles contrib uted. The membors always look forward to the meeting with interest and are keen ly disappointed if Mra. Whatley fails to meet jWith us. We'hope that our mothers will attend more regularly. We nre delighted to have them ns well as other visitors. Girls, be sure to go 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.
