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.

There will bo a public lecture at tho city hall on Friday evening, August the 10th, at 7:30 by Frank F. Baker, Grand Secretary of tho Grand Lodge of Goorgia, F. & A. M. Everybody cor-t diall vinvited to como, especially the Masons, their wives and children. It costs you nothing to hoar and seo this wonderful lecture demonstrated by throwing the pictures on the serene, and. having them explained by an expert who knows just how. Come and hear ono of the very best lectures that you have heard for many vears. JAMES B. HAMRICK, IV. M., Carroll Lodge N. 69, F. & A. M. 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.

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 ed any yet. Much valuable timo has already been lost.

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.
