DR. ANDREW SOULE
LEAVES THE STATE
AGRI. COLLEGE
Athens, Ga. Dr. Andrew M.
Soule, for 26 years the president of
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture here, officially severed his con
nection with the college today as it
became a part of the University of
Georgia itself.
Dr. Soule was not chosen to any
post in the university system of
Georgia by the board of regents last
month, when other officers and facul
ty members were chosen, and his post
as president of the Agricultural Col
lege was abolished. The dean of the
new college, a part of the University
of Georgia proper, is H. P. Stuckey,
who also is to continue as director
of the experiment station at Griffin.
In a farewell address, Dr. Soule
said “a magnificent series of red gul
lies and a wasted patrimony consti
tuted its (the school’s) chief assets”
at the beginning.
He attributed the school’s growth
to Its counsellors, “fortunately',” he
said, “the institution has always had
a group of wise and judicious coun
selors at its beck and call. The very
remarkable board of trustees which
was first appointed to handle and
direct its operations from the mo
ment of the enactment of the law
governing its organization never lost
their zeal nor interest in its affairs.”
The retiring president of the col
lege expressed his “special obliga
tions” to members of the general as
sembly of Georgia who, he said,
“helped us when our needs were im
perative and afforded us encourage
ment.” Until the last session of the
legislature, each state college appro
priation was made separately. Soule
came to know hundreds of legisla
tors and to be regarded as a power
in the state.
No reason has been announced by
the board, of regents for its aetion in
not electing Soule to a post in the
system.
Just what his future plans are has
not been announced. He says they
are “still in the nebulous state. After
July 1 I can be found at my resi
dence, 846 Milledge avenue, Athens,
Georgia.
“My interest in all that concerns
the welfare of the state and its peo
ple remains unabated and whenever
my friends feel that I can aid or ad
vance either her or their interests, I
hope they will feel free to command
my service.”
Sympathy is extended Mrs. Y. D.
Maddox on account of the death of
her uncle, Mr. B. A. Moseley, Sr.,
who passed away at his home in Put
nam county Friday. He was a lead
ing planter of that section of Geor
gia.
He realizes that people “want full
measure of all your pleasure, but
they don’t won’t any of your woe.”

RECEIPTS DECLINE
AS STATE REPORTS
LOW COLLECTIONS
Payments to its various ‘ depart
ments by the state of Georgia dur
ing the first six months of 1933 were
33 % per cent less than during the
same period in 1931, and 29 per cent
under the payments during the first
six months of 1932, it was revealed
in a report made Saturday by Stale
Auditor Tom Wisdom.
The payments were based on col
lections during the six months’ period
and corresponding decreases are
shown in these collections.
The general fund collections for
the first six months of 1933 were $3,-
766,199 compared to $5,636,497 for
the first six months of 1932 and $6,-
208,991 for the first six months of
1931.
The special fund collection allocat
ed to various departments were $7,-
596,091 for the first six months of
1933 compared to $10,754,889 for
the first six months of 1932 and sll,-
447,848 for the first six months of
1931.
The grand total collections of all
funds were $11,362,290 for the first
six months of 1933 compared to $16,-
390,386 for the first six months of
1932 and $17,656,839 for the first
six months of 1931.
The State Highway Department

first six months of 1933 compared to
$6,838,379 during the same period in
1932 and $6,906,677 during the first
six months of 1931. The payments
to the common schools were about
$900,000 less than in 1932 and sl,-
500,000 under the 1931 payments.
County Agent Column
801 l Weevil Control Suggestion
Farmers who have applied pre
square or early poisoning for cotton
plants to control boll weevil will not
have as much trouble keeping weevils
under control during the remainder
of growing season as those who fail
ed to do this.
On the late planted cotton that
has just started, hardly ready to be
putting on squares, poisoning should
be applied.
On all cotton that is forming
squares now, I suggest the following
boll weevil control method be fol
lowed: Beginning this week, July 3,
and repeat the week of July 10th and
17th, take all effected squares from
off of cotton plants or ground just
before land is plowed. This is very
effective work, because most weevil
eggs deposited in cotton squares
have not had time to hatch, and the
adult emerges from squares. Of
course, by destroying squares, ypu
destroy the early weevil crop. This
work should be done, whether or not
the cotton has had early poison or
not.
Poison cotton with calcium arsen
ate dust or liquid mixture this week,
also next three weeks. Make four
applications at intervals of four to
six days apart. Repeat application if
some is washed off by rain within
twelve hours after being applied.
Likely will get best results in the
use of dust on larger cotton. Sug
gest using four to seven pounds on
each application.
When cotton yield is reduced by
the boll weevil, the farmer pays cost.
If cotton yield is reduced this year
by plowing up 25% to 50% of cot
ton acreage, the Federal Government
will pay for amount of acreage re
duced. Reduce your cotton acreage,
control boll weevil, and cultivate
frequently and late in season on re
mains of crop.
Yours for less acreage and more
profit per acre from cotton.

Safety Pointers For
The Summer Vacation
Washington, D. C,—Safe and sane
vacations are urged by the First Aid
and Life Saving Service of the
American Rod Cross, which offers the
following suggestions:
Sunburn —Dangerous. Acquire tan
gradually. Avoid mid-day rays.
Graduate the period of exposure a
few minutes each day until skin is
toughened and tanned. Until such
time make a practice of wearing a
shirt, bath robe or other covering at
beach except when actually in water.
Calamine lotion gives considerable
relief, and may be safely applied to
the skin several times a day. Espe
cially avoid a burn upon a burn.
Swimming.—Know your swimming
place. Explore thoroughly for hid
den rocks, holes and glass—but not
with your bare feet. Never swim
alone —swimming in twos is more
fun, and far safer. Never dive in
legs than six feet of water, and make
allowance for changes in tide water
depths. Always wait at least two
hours lifter eating before entering
the water.
Drinkfng Water—Take no chances.
If in the least doubt as to purity,
boil. In some states, health depart
ment signs posted at springs and oth
er sources indicate whether the water
is fit or unfit for human consumption.
Food.—Food poisoning is of fre
quent occurrence in the warm
months, due to the rapidity with
whjch food spoils. Prepare small a
mounts at a time. Chicken, fish and
potatoes are particularly likely to
make one ill, if not properly refrig
erated. Protect from possible con
tamination. Do not eat excessively,
or when overheated.
Fire.—Always bury or quench the
embers before retiring or leaving the
camp site.
Poison Ivy.—Learn to recognize
this plant, and then carefully avoid
it. Ivy, oak and sumac poisoning are
caused by an irritating oil present on
the leaves. Poinsoning results readi
ly from contact with smoke from the
burning leaves. The skin should be
washed immediately and thoroughly
with warm water and soap. If poi
soningoccdrs anyway, applycalamine
lotion, or a solution of ferric chlo
ride. Another good treatment is the
application of dressings wet with a
solution of Epsom salts, as strong as
can be made with cold water; keep
dressings wet. If at all severe, con
sult a physician.
Insects.—Flowers of sulphur ap
plied to the skin helps to prevent
chigger bites. Mosquitoes may be
kept away for a couple of hours by
rubbing a few drops of oil of laven
der over the exposed surfaces, but
this does not take the place of ade
quate screening or netting. The itch
ing can be relieved by applying cala
mine lotion several times daily. In
flammation from other insect bites
can be relieved by applying com
presses wet with cold Epsom salts or
baking soda solutions.
First Aid Kit. —Keep stocked and
conveniently at hand in fishing kit,
automobile or kitchen. Cuts and ab
rasions are among the commonest of
vacations accidents. Small wounds
should be given prompt attention.
Apply half-strength tincture of iodine
to wounds, allow to dry, and apply
a sterile dressing.
Driving.—-Have a thorough me
chanical inspection of the car made
before starting on the trip. Drive
carefully, and give heed to speed
limits and official road signs.
Remember that a regard for the
safety and welfare of self and others
is the first rule of good sportsman
ship.

Court Hearing To Be
Resumed This Week
Federal Court hearing on whether
Governor Talmadge shall continue
martial law control of the state high
way board reached an impasse
urday when Attorney General Yeo
mans insisted that he represented
both the Governor and the highway
board.
Friday the attorney general was
listed as among counsel for Governor
Talmadge, Commissioner Jud P. Wil
hoit of the Highway Department and
Adjutanta General Lindley Camp.
Saturday he told the court that un
der the reorganization act of 1931
he alone had authority to represent
all state departments and therefore
was counsel for both the Governor
and the highway board.
Two members of the road board,
ousted by Governor Talmadge by
martial law because they refused to
discharge five engineers, are seeking
a federal injunction to end the Gov
ernor’s military rule over the de-
partment.
These two members depose*
Chairman J. W. Barnett and Com
missioner W. C. Vereen—have then
own attorneys. Governor Talmadg*
and other state officials are also re
represented by Special Assistant At
torney General Marion Smith.
In order to settle the question ol
“who represents who,” Federal Judg*
E. Marvin Underwood announce*
that briefs would be submitted t*
him Wednesday setting forth th*
legal situation involving the attorney
general.
In the meantime all motions before
the court, with the exception of a
general demurrer by the Governor’s
representatives, were withdrawn. The
general demurrer seeks to throw the
'whole matter out of court. v

WALLACE ANXIOUS
TO SPEED COTTON
REDUCTION WORK!
Washington. Secretary Wallace*
Saturday urged that cotton producer*?
“get under the wire” this week i*
signing offers to reduce acreage
der the cotton program, which eon
temlpates the distribution of aroumi
$100,000,000 in cash benefits and urine;
the next two months.
Wallace issued a brief statement,.,
but in it avoided giving any indina
tion of whether he is impressed wtifa
results obtained during the past week
in the campaign being carried per
sonally to every farmer in the sixteen
cotton growing states. In all, 22,G<KI
workers are aiding in the drive-
The program provides that grow
ers have up to July 8 to sign con
tracts. After that time special tier
mission must be obtained, unless?
Wallace finds it necessary to extendi
the campaign period further.
The agriculture secretary’s state
ment Saturday was intended in port
to push the campaign to a wind-op
by the week-end. Compilations af
offer-contracts then could be made
before the end of this month, de
termining definitely whether the pro
gram will be put into effect.
Wallace spoke as follows:
Cully A. Cobb, cotton productCan
chief, said he hoped to wind up Cfte
campaign this week. He has received)
a large number of reports from field
workers and state extension direc
tors regarding the reactions of farm
ers, but has declined tp make them
public until a decision is reached a*
to whether the reduction plan will
be put into effect.
Owners Of Jefferson Mill®
Buy Crawford Mill
The following news item, taken
from the Oglethorpe Echo, will be nC
much interest to our readers:
“The most important bit of news
that we have to record this week or
have had to record in a long time, ist
that the Crawford Cotton Mills that
have been closed down for two year*
are to resume operations.
“All the machinery is being clean
ed up and adjusted by competent
machinists and thd electric power
plant at Watson shoals on Broad river
being thoroughly overhauled and the
transmission line between the tw
plants, which had gone to the had
during the idleness, being practicably
reconstructed.
“We understand the mill has been
acquired by interests that own and
operate the mills in Jefferson, these
interests being financed by a syndi
cate that is acquiring mills orver the
South and resuming operation of
those that were forced to close down
when the depression struck as inj
1929.”
LIGHTNING KNOCKS
WOMAN OUT OF BED
AND MAN FROM SWING
Savannah, Ga. —lf you’ve been inr

crashes lately, then tune in on thisr
Mrs. Thomas O’Donell was sitting;
by the radio at the home of her
mother, Mrs. J. T. Sheehan, 13G6 E-
Anderson street, yesterday at 530
o'clock. Suddenly a blinding crash
came, which was paralyzing in its ef
fect. Lightning struck the radio
aerial, but it didn’t stop at the ra
dio. It demolished the glass in a
window near the set, burned out all
the wires running to an electrical re
ceptacle on the wall, destroyed thi%
and then ended up in the kitchen
where it burned up the electric meter
and put lights out of commission-
Mrs. Sheehan, who was in the
kitchen, was frightened like all others
in the neighborhood. Out on the
front porch Mr. Sheehan, found him
self knocked completely out of a
swing, and his reading ©f the Even
ing Press rudely interrupted.
All over the block, between Cedsr
and Ash streets, telephones and elec
trical appliances were put out of com
mission. D. L. Thorn, at 1316 East:
Anderson, was knocked down by thfe
stroke while standing in his back
yard, and was unable to get dt* his.
feet for several minues. Children in ■
houses nearby were scared out at
their wits. One woman was reported f
to have been knocked out of a bed
where she was resting. No one
seriously hurt.
