A Word In Time
The parable of the wise virgins
and the foolish will have its parallel
i.j th:3 corning cotton sea
son.
The wise virgins will bo the Geor
gia farmers who buekle in to fight
the boll weevil by reducing acreage,
by intensive cultivation, by use of
jioison.
The foolish virgins will be the
Georgia farmers who close their eyes
and .-tuff their ears against the talk
about the weevil and his survival of
the cold; those Georgia farmers who
go aho 1 in th? old way, planting
.more acres than can be ear, and for and
planting these in ground illy-pre
pared.
These will have no bales of cotton

groom will have no room f >r them at
the winter feast.
Georgia farmers will be very fool
ish, indeed, if they bdieve the recent
cold snap killed the boll weevil.
The old da;, of huge cotton acre
age and lackadaisical cultivation
have gone-T-forevcr.
Small acreage in cotton and that
well cultivated by daily work in the
fields is the only sure weapon against
*he weevil. Poison is a valuable aid
in the work of extermination—but
real, honest, daily toil, concentrated
in smaller fields, is the fundamental
.method of combatting the insects. |
The man who expects to grow a
•crop under the old methods will
waste both his time and his money
in planting any cotton at all this!
year.
Georgia farmers should make wee
vil extermination their business. It is
money in their pockets to conduct the
fight along intelligent lines, mapped
• tut by experience.
Reduced acreage devoted to cot
ton is the first requisite.
Proper painstaking preparation of
the ground in advance of planting
is the second requisite.
Care in planting is the third.
•Steady cultivation and care of
the plant from the day it first appears
atbove the ground until it matures is
.another. There should be no skimp
ing in this daily labor, no hit-or-miss
methods. Death of the weevil re
wards only those who do not “sol
dier” on the job.
Now is the time to consider these '
mi ters and to plan to carry on the
tigu. Next spring, or next summer,
will he too late.
The weevils will be alive and busy
as usual then- except in the fields

Recalled By Book
Found In Atlanta
Airs. M. L. Vandiver, of 4(5 West
KnJ place, of Atlanta, has discovered
in her attic an ancient tonic which
•-'alls itself “The World Geography,”
•and which was the property of one
Francis Haynes, a barefoot Georgia
achool boy exactly 105 years ago.
How the book of Francis Haynes,
bearing \>n its fly leaf the date “De

tin view of the fact that Atlanta

it is not surprising that this metro

Concerning Georgia, the book says:
‘‘Principal cities, Savannah, Augus

t-on Louisville, Lexington, Sunbury,
Tri icrica, Darien, Brunswick, St.
Patrick’s and St. Mary's."
Commenting on the people of this
section, it adds in illuminating style:
‘The people of the north are well in
formed and regular in their habits,
while in the southern states they are
more addicted to gaming and dissipa
tion."
At that time, acceding to “The
World Geography,” New York City
boasted a population of 93,194. Phil

“HONEST MAN” WOULD PAY
AUTO TAG TAX FOR ’22
Atlanta.—Secretary of State S.
Guyt McLendon said Wednesday that
he has discovered another honest
automobile owner. He is G. W. Pitt-'
man, of Columbus, Ga.
Mr. Pittman wrote a day or two
ago, enclosing check for $11.25, in
payment of his 1924 automobile li
cense tag tax. In the letter he said
that he recently had occasion to re
move the spare tire from the rear of
his car and was surprised to find the
j tag, which had been partially hidden,
I was a 1922 tag. Therefore he wrote
asking the secretary to have an exam
ination of his records made and find
i if he had ever paid the 1923 tax.
j Records disclosed that Mr. Pittman
had not paid the tax for last year,
and receipt for his 1924 tax has been
forwarded, with the request that he
send check for $11.25 for the 1923
tax.
However, it is plain that Mr. Pitt
man has excellent luck with his tires,
for evidently he has had no reason
for disturbing his spare for twelve
months or more.

[HE SOUTH MUST
I GROW ITS OWN FOOD
NO FARM SECTION CAN BUY ITS
FOOD AND GRAIN AND
GROW RICH.
Atlanta, Ga. — (Special.)—“Few peo
ple in the South realize the enor
mous drain there has been on the
South’s wealth through the steady
food and grain buying during the past
fifty years. What’s the greater pity
of it is the fact that most of this
money comes directly out of the farm
pocket,” said H. G. Hastings, of At-’
lanta, Chairman of the Farm and
Marketing Bureau of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce.
“For fifty years or more the cities
and towns of the Cotton Belt have
been furnishing food and grain to the
farmer instead of our farmers feeding
the cities and towns. While the cities
and towns have had the best of this
unnatural business, it has really im
poverished both country and city.”
“As nearly as can be ascertained,
my own state of Georgia has spent
in the last 25 years not less than twe
and one-half billion dollars for food
and grain from the North and West,
real hard cash money that ought to be
sticking in our farmers’ pockets. That
money is gone never to return.
“It is no over statement or exagger
ation to say that twenty-five billion
dollars of the South’s money has gone
that way In the last fifty years. It
was good, hard worked for farm
money. What we have been doing is
spending our lives growing cotton,
trading it off for bread and meat at
no profit to ourselves.
“No use to ‘cuss’ the powers that
be in Washington or the trusts, tariff,
banks or speculators. They may
have had a part but a mighty small
part in comparison with the part we
ourselves have played. The way to
stop that drain on our pockets is to
stop buying food, grain and forage
and produce those necessary items on
home acres.
“The time to start is now. Plans
for 1924 are being made. Before a
plow is stuck in the ground, food,
grain and forage acres should be set
aside. These acres should and must
be first instead of last consideration.
When these are fixed, then the farmer
can go as far as he likes with cotton,
tobacco or other cash crop safely.
“Give the home garden a chance in
this food production. It’s a wonderful
helper in cutting 3tore bills in half
for the folks that will give it a square
deal instead of the usual Tick and
a promise,’ mostly promise. Start the
lood production procession in 11)24,
■tnd a money procession will start to
ward your pocket.”
'Feeling
Finer
“I was pale and thin, hardly
able to go,” says Mrs. Bessie
Bearden, of Central, S. C. “I
would suffer, when 1 stood on
my feet, with bearing-down
pains in my sides and the lower
part of my body. 1 did not rest -
well and didn’t want anything
to eat. My color was bad ana
1 felt miserable. A friend of
mine told me of
CMDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
and I then remembered my
mother used to take it.. . After
the first bottle 1 was better. 1
began to fleshen up and I re
gained my strength and good,
healthy color. 1 am feeling fine.
1 took twelve bottles (of Cardui)
and haven’t had a bit of trouble
since.”
Thousands of other women
have had similar experiences in
the use of Cardui, which has
brought relief where other
medicines had failed.
If you suffer from female ail
ments, take Cardui. It is a
woman’s medicine. It may be
j-ist what you need.
