The infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
Hope Stark died in Atlanta last Wed
nesday evening. The tiny babe was
only thirty-six hours old, and had
never been named. The body was
brought here Thursday for burial,

Fisheries Site* Inspected by U. S.
Representative
Mr. McCormick, a representative
of the U. S. Department of Fisheries,
last week inspected same sites in
and around Gainesville with a view
to securing a suitable site for the
establishment of a government fish
hatchery here. He has made a con
ditional promise to representatives
of the city government to consider
one or more sites here. However,
nothing definite can he decided until
an engineer and the chief of the
bureau of fisheries, together with
Mr. McCormick, have inspected all
of the sites offered. A site of about
two hundred acres is desired.
Reunion Of Poits Family
Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Potts, who

planned and given as a surprise to
Mr. and Mrs. Potts, and was thor
oughly enjoyed by all. More than
fifty of the relatives joined in, and
the dinner hour was an especially
enjoyable feature, when the baskets
were opened and the splendid dinner
spread in the grove. In the after
noon songs were sung, and Prof. D.
J. Blackwell, of the West Armuchee

Poisons Found In Every
Test Bootlegger Liquor
Atlanta.— Poisons were found in all
of several hnudred sample-, of At
lanta und north Georgia whisky ex
amined recently, but none in suffi
cient quantities to produce death,!
directly, because of drinking the
whisky, J. D. Allhright, chemist of
the federal prohibition unit, said Fri- j
day in an interview at local prohi
bition headquarters.
Among tV poisons found in whis
ky, both "bonded” and corn, captured
lin Georgia, were lysol. creosote, car
bolic acid, lye, sulphuric acid and
copper and zinc metallic salts.
“None were found in sufficient
quantify to kill thr> man drinking
one bottle of the whisky,” Mr. All
bright said, “but it is easy to see
.the condition he would be in after
a short time if he drank much of
this whisky.”
Asked to explain how the poisons
got into the whisky, he said:
“Moonshine’s poison comes from
the stills and from the hasty distilling
methods used, while the poison in so
called imported liquors is deliberate
ly mixed to the bootleg concoction to
give it odor and kick.
Filth in ( Bottle*
“The lysol found in several sam
ples of Atlanta corn whisky got there
through carelessness. The bottlers
used stoppers from lysol bottles
which had absorbed so much of th<?
disinfectant that it got into the whis
ky. It not only showed in the analy
sis, but it had turned the corh whis
ky to a dark brown color. Boot
leggers seldom take the trouble to
wash bottles, judging from the ones
examined. I found dead flies and
many kinds of filth sticking to the
bottles.
“Creosote, carbolic acid, phenol or
wintergreen arc deliberatcdly mixed
with a base of corn whisky when
th? resourceful distiller is preparing
“imported Scotch.” This gives it
the smoked Scotch flavor.
“Bite” Not From Purity
"When the moonshine is weak be
cause of watering or for another
reason lye is added to give it a bite
Very often the man whose eyes
are made to water and who has to
grab a chaser to cool his burning
throat is fooled by this addition of
lye into thinking that he has got
extra strong and extra jiure stuff.
Many connoisseurs of corn insist on
their whisky having a good bead—
that is when they shake it, bubbles
must rise. Wattered whisky won’t
do this, so a beading oil, made of
sulphuric acid and olive oil, is added,
giving it the required bead. This
beading oil was prevalent in the
Georgia whisky.
“Copper and zinc salts—both poi
sonous—were found in almost all of
the samples coming from the unlined
copper stills and the improvised fer
menters, stills and coils, which are
often made from gasoline drums,
lard pails, and galvanized garbage
pails.”
STARVING BOLL WEEVILS
URGED
While we have learned how to
control the boll weevil, we still have
the pest with us and if we have a
wet spring we must wage our war
fare ail over again. But in order to
keep the weevil down we must stop
their increase by destroying them in
the winter. The following article
should be read and practiced by ev
ery cotton grower. ■*-
1 here is one boll weevil control
method which is said to be the most
effective of all, but it is not general
ly practiced. It is simply plowing
cotton stalks under thoroughly in the
early fall.
I he value of this method lies in the
fait that boll weevils cap do without
food only a short period of time be
fore hibernation, but after hiberna
tion they live without eating for
months, or until emergence the fol
lowing spring. By turning stalks un.
der all weevil food is destroyed. It
also destroys hibernation quarters.
To be effective? stalks should be
buried under three or four inches of
dirt. Parts of the stalks left above
ground should be cut with a hoe and
buried. For best results a big plow
with plenty of power is needed.
Although this work pays best when
done on a community basis, it pays
well on an individual farm. If stalks
are plowed under on a farm, weevils
leave it in search of food. Hence
very few weevils emerge on this
farm the following spring.
Entomologists of the Extension
Service of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, Auburn, make this state
ment regarding turning cotton stalks
under in the early fall: “Any com
munity that will completely bury all
jits cotton stalks early in October
I will practically solve its boll weevil

J A COMMUNITY OAT PROJECT
' NETS $270 FOR CONSOLI
DATED School
i A community oat project wa con
ducted by the patrons of the Cen
jterville Consolidated School in El
, hurt County, Georgia, as a me. ns of
' raising money to pay for a chool
I light plant. While the yield per
acre was not entirely satisfactory,
still the project netted a pro* it of
$270.80.
At a community meeting held in
the school auditorium it was agreed
that 50 acres of oats would be sow
ed as a community project. The
men promised to do the nee sary
work free of charge and give the
proceeds from the crop to the school.
Arrangements were made with the
local bankers to finance the buying
of seed and fertilizer. Land was
rented for a fourth.
On the day set for sowing 32
farmers came with fertilizer distri
butors, several with wagons, and
others came without implements
ready to do any work assigned to
them. The vocational boys kept the
distributors full. The planting, in
this way, was soon finished and was
really a pleasure.
Three of the patrons cut the oats
with their reapers. The boys in the
vocational classes shocked the oats.
After they were thoroughly dry sev
eral of the patrons brought their
wagons and hauled the oats to the
school house where they were thresh
ed and sacked and the straw baled.
The following figures indicat •
results: Total oats threshed, 640
bushels; selling price at 65 cents a
bushel, $416; 300 bales of straw at
$lO a ton, $75; making the total re
ceipts $491. The items of cost were
as follows: threshing $41.60; rent
$93.60; reapers $80; and nitrate of
soda $65; making a total cost of
220.20, with a net profit of $270.80.
Although the land sowed was not
the best that might have been se
cured the community was benefitted
considerably because in this way ev
eryone was given a chance to help in
the development of the school and
more than enough was made
to meet the payment on the light
plant.
THE FARMER AND DIVERSE
CATION
Several years ago, when cotton was
below the cost of production, there
was much said about diversicat ion,
and in some sections of Georgia
other crops were raised, but they
could not be marketed satisfactorily,
and the farmers went back to cotton.
In Jackson county, the people have
stuck to cotton as the money crop.
During the heavy infestation of boll
weevils, little cotton was made, and
of course money has been scarce. The
Dawson News, published in Terrell
county, says:
“Several years ago the farmers of
Terrell county and this section start
ed on a diversification program, and
were making splendid progress. Then
the price of cotton soared high, the
farmers threw diversification to the
winds and again did homage to King
Cotton. The result is seen today,
with the most expensive crop of cot
tqn they have grown in years and the
price lower than it has been in ten
years—far below the cost of produc
tion. The situation is anything but
re-assuring, but maybe it will teach
a lesson that will trickle through into
our craniums and be valuable in the
future. Let us hope so, anyway.”
THE BOY
A possible man of affairs,
A possible leader of men,
Back of the grain that he wears,
There may be the courage of ten;
Lawyer or merchant or priest,
Artist or singer of joy,
This, when his strength is increased
Is what may become of the boy.
Heedless and mischevious now,
Spending his boyhood in play,
Yet glory may rest on his brow,
And fame may exalt him some day;
A skill that the world shall admire,
Strength that the world shall em
ploy,
And faith that shall burn as a fire,
Are what may be found in the boy.
He with the freckles and tan,
He with that fun-loving grin,
May rise to great heights as a man,
And many a battle may win;
Back of the slang of the streets,
And back of the love of a toy,
It may be a great spirit beats,
Lincoln once played as a boy!
Trace them all back to their youth,
All the great heroes w’e sing,
Seeking and serving the Truth,
President, poet and king.
Washington, Caesar and Paul,
Homer, who sang about Troy,
Jesus, the greatest of all,
Each in his time was a boy.

when I feel a spell of this kind I
coming on, I head it off by tak- j
