A PUBLIC LECTURE
The heading of this article is a per
sonal quest ion for every ono that reads
it, npd was suggested by the very poor
stands of cotton mid tlio small size of
tho stalk, as seen, by the writer oil a
recent, trip to Athena, Gn., via Winder,
andi returning b\ Monroe and Stone
Moijntnin.
The erop is the poorest I have over
seoivin that part of tlio state. On hun
dreds and hundreds of ncres the fields
look ns tiare ns they should look in May
or early in June. Those people may
plow, hoe, and poison tlio weevil, but
they can’t possibly make a crop of cot
ton* this year. Similar reports come
from practically all tho eastern and
soutticnstorn parts of tlio state.
Il'crc in our county, witli a fow ex
ceptions, the condition of tlio crop is
difmrcnt. Taken us a whole tho crop
about ten days into, lint lias a very
good stalk, is growing well, and taking
on (fruit rapidly. Witli a propor con
trol of tile boll weevil, there is no good
n wiiy this county should fail to
mafic o' fair crop of cotton. Many of
ourTvory best farmers aro sold on tlio
proposition of woovil control, and curly
m fflio Reason laid in a supply of poison
sufficient for tho ontiro crop. They
trhfl it out last year, wero convinced,
now feel as ono of our very best
farmers expressed it not long since, in
thole words: “I am suro I can grow
n Wile of cotton to tlio acre, as I did
bcfiiTe tlio weevil came.”
Tlio gentleman referred to above, is
proVing his fnitli by his works. He has
a drop worth saving, and ho is leaving
nothing undone on-his part. Next fall
helwlll lie rewarded for all liis labor.
,lust yesterday 1 had a talk with a
hustling young farjnor who lias no
doqbt in his mind as to what courso to
pttftaie. Last year ho picked squares
uni poisoned too. 1 asked him if it
pqtl. His quick reply was: “it paid
nqj paid well.”
Everything points now to a good
pr^o for cotton this fall, but high
priced cotton means nothing to tlio man
wub allows the weevil to tako his crop,
f Tuow that to poison, means more
work; but we liavo attempted to make
drift crop; wa have mil- money, our la
bor, our Inst year’s supply of corn, fod-
(fcif, hay and oats tied up in it, and it
bolooves us ns intelligent Carroll coun
ty rfarmers that wo arc, to avail our-
' “ [cs of every nid at our command,
'oisoning tlio weevil witli calcium ar
te is no longer an experiment. It
long since passed'Unit stuge. Wher-
appliod according to the directions,
s liavo boon lind from it, Hometiuios
some times lesji. Tluit is true,
lir.wevor, with applications ’of for^liSOt, 1

is quite encouraging. Sonic of tire up
land corn may ho suffering for rain;
hut where upimid loses, lower bottoms
are gaining. Tho continued dry woath-
er is favorable for tlio boll weevil
light. Continuous plowing of cotton
into August will keep moisture rising,
and cotton growing. On tho whole, tho
present outlook is line. A cotton crop
is a gamble, lint tlio odds aro favora
ble.
Planting cotton to pny for $1.50 a
bushel meal and corn to mako tlio cot
ton crop oil is also u gamble, witli tho
odds against tlio producor,—in fact ho
comes out tlio loser.
Talk is cheap; farming on paper
•osts a little more titan talk; but crop
livcrsificatiou, organization, co-opora-
tive marketing aro getting a foot hold
in some sections of tho country. Four
r londs of IriRli potatoes wore sold
by Polk county fanners in ono wock—;
tiirco cars being loaded at Ocdartown
lino ono at. Roekmart. All sold iu At
lanta and tho highest prico notted to
farmers was $2,15 a bushel.
Spalding county is shipping butter
bonus to Macon.
Baldwin county is planting out 180
acres in tomntoes.
Gniiresvillo and Hall county had i_
co-operative chicken sale July tlio 17th.
Three ear loads iu one day, two of
which wero shipped to New York.
Monroe county is raising sunflower
seed to be sold in car load lots for mak
ing poultry feed.
Tho farmers in one lower Mississippi
county last week loaded a car of Irish
potatoes. In 20 minutes timo tlio county
agent found a remly market, and ship
ment mndo to Sr Louis, Mo.
Carroll county is making groat stridos
shipping eggs by “circles.’’ This is
fine, if some others who are not in-tho
i'gg business would rniso chickens—
broilers and friers—in larger quantities
and market co-operntivoly, hotter prices
would bo obtained.
One Carroll county furnicr has nn
apple troo that yiolds a hundred bush
els of apples a year. Yos, that’s fine.
Another farmer has been selling
strawberries through July. Tho mar
kot on these berries ranged from 80c
down to 65c a gallon.
Some sour cream is being sold,.in a
co-operative way.
These aro “scattering” facts that
show that money is coming in all tho
liavo a loss instend of a profit.
I have no poison for sale, and have
tip busjnoss connection witli any man
or set of men in the county that do
have it for sale; but in justice to those
men, I wish to say that I was present
at a mooting of the bankers and busi
ness men of Carroltlon when they dis
used tho matter of purchasing poison-
pnny.

oilc of them advanced tho thought of
profit for themselves, but all the timo
they heh] up the thought: “The farmer
must, have it actual cost, and that ns
cheap till; possible for us to j?uy it for
cash;’’ I want to snv further that tlio
price was finally secured, nii<} at which
wo can buy it today is mueb cheaper
than it seemed possible for M 10m 1° buyl
it at at that timo. They were trying
to help us; let’s givo them the credit
that is justly due them.
Growing cotton at present is like
growing a crop of Irish potatoes; it is
a different proposition to what it was
a few years ngo. Tlio time was when
wo couid plant potatoes and harvest a
good crop without interference from tho
potato bootlo. Now nil is changed.
Wo all understand that if wo aro to
have potatoes, we must destroy tho
beetle.
Sonie farmers aro not vet convinced
that poisoning is a good tiling. Others
are convinced, but just haven’t poison

already been lost. The early poisoning
is the most beneficial; however, mucl|

BOOSTING OUR NOME TOWN AND COUNTY
Let’s get together and build a bigger and better
community.
It’s inspiring to be a booster, and it’s decidedly
worth while. No matter how big or how small it
may be, a community that receives the whole-hearted
and enthusiastic support of its people invariably
forges ahead at an increased pace.
First, all of us can seize every opportunity to put
in a good word for this home city of ours—show that
we are proud to live here and work here.
Second, each of us can get behind the various
forms of community activities and put a shoulder to
the wheel. ■ ^
Third, we can all buy at our local stores where
well selected stocks and the best service are always
to be found.
Fourth, we can deposit our surplus money in home
banks where it will benefit us and our own home
community.
Co-operation by all for a greater community pro
gress brings individual opportunity, business success
and prosperity for everybody.
It’s our City, and our County. Let’s Boost for it.
