PAGE TWO IMfflO HUGE SIB 111 EBECTI BE H COTTON MILLS 111 EL F » Plans Drawn for Three Bil* Tex tile Plants in North Georgia, Others Contemplated THREAD MILL AT DALTON Million Dollar Plant Will Be Used Exclusively to Manufac ture Thread ATLANTA, Sept. 19—A huge sum, approximating ten million dol lars will be spent in the erection of cotton mills in Georgia within the next few months by northern and eastern capitalists. Plans for three big new mills to be located at Dal ton, Hogansville and Monroe have already been drawn and announce ment of the erection of these was authorized today. The mill to be built at Dalton will be devoted to the manufacture of thread, it being the first of its kind to be erected in the cotton growing states. The mill will cost complete $1,000,000 and the structure will be so designed as to permit the addition of four other units of the same size as the original structure. It will be erected by the Ameri can Thread Company, a New Eng land concern, on 000 acres recently purchased near Dalton. There will be a large mill village of model houses and the plant itself will not only be immense but also of great architectural beauty. The Stark Mills will erect the plant to be built'at Hogansville and which will manufacture fabric and cords for use in automobile tires. This - plant will cost $2,000,000 to complete, and will have 35,000 spin dles,'being located upon a 200-acre tract, and housed in a three-story building of reinforced concrete. A hundred and thirty model homes will be elected by the company to house employes of the mill. At Monroe, the Walton Mills is virtually doubling its capacity with an Addition which will cost, includ ing equipment, something like sl,- 000,000. Ten thousand spindles will be added'and 33 cottages for opera tives will be erected. This mill will manufacture twills for shoe linings etc. The U. S. Finihsing Company, of New York, is now building a finish ing plant at Cedartown, another North Georgia point.. This null will i'ii.iijh rough cotton goods for other a ills.

Plenty of Americus evidence of their’worth. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. W. I. Crapps, 912 Elmo St- Americus, says: “I suffered terribly with lame back some years ago and my kidneys were disordered. My back ached constantly and when 1 etooped to pick up a dust pan, I could hardly get up. I suffered most -n the morning. My kidneys acted too dften and my feet bloated badly. I ,w:»s so nervous I almost flew to nieces. I heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills and bought a box at Howell’s Pharjnacy. I felt better right away and kfter I had used four boxes of Doan’s the bloating went down and I was rid of the backache.” 60c at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.

LIVE STOCK-POULTRY SHOW IS DECIDED ON MOULTRIE, Sept. 19.—A big livestock, dairying and poultry show will be staged at the fair grounds here during November. This was made certain at a meet ing just held at which the directors of the Colquitt county fair asso ciation agreed to turn over tjhe fair grounds for that purpose. The occasion will be educational in character and. will be one of the biggest events of its kind ever put’ on in this section. H. McDowell was named chairman of a commit tee of seven which will have com plete charge of the undertaking. Mr. McDowell is to name the other members of the committee. The exact dates have not been agreed upon but it is likely that early November will be decided on. WAS A GOOD JUDGE OF LIQUOR “Since a young man I had a liking for liquor and was considered a pret ty good judge of it at one time, but constant drinking gave me stomach trouble which became chronic. My stomach would have been a valuable addition to a gas factory. D '.dors did not seem to relieve me. One day my druggist got me to try Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy, and I am now as good as new.” It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intes tinal tract and allays the inflam mation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ail ments, including appendicitis.

However, we are quite sure that she will be equally able to freeze the rash intruder with a glance, or melt becomingly, if he is worth the .effort. Be that as it may, this evening robe of faintly strawberry colored crepe chcnettc, beaded with crystal, is something almost too perfect to endure. The observant one will no tice that it is slim and straight and dingy, and is slightly drawn across the hips, to achieve the effect of draping. Long crystal beads are very much in favor in Paris, according to Henri Creange. In this dress they are arranged in graceful, drooping points, to further carry out the icicle idea. A scarf of sheerest, gossamer white crepe is draped over the blush ing slip, the effect being—according to whether one is aesthetic or merely practical—like Fujiyama touched by rosy fingered dawn, or a strawberry tundae with whipped cream. The persistence of the handker chief in our scheme of decoration is again shown in the draping over the : houldcr. Our cool and cruel ice maiden further adds to her charm by six arm bracelets, five of white jade and the sixth of coral, match ing the coral buckle on the shoulder, and the coral satin slippers. Inevit ably, there are coral car drops. METHODISTS PLAN REVIVALS SAVANNAH, Sept. 19—Employ ment of five evangelists to conduct intensive evangelistic services in south Georgia was decided upon at a recent meeting of the board of missions of the South Georgia Con ference of the Methodist Episcopal' Church, South. The board plans to recommend its decision at the annu al session of the conference which is to be held here next month. If the recommendation is adopted, the evangelists will devote all their time to holding revivals, strength ening the weaker churches and working in places where the church is not now established. THE AMERICUS . TIMES-RECORDER ’ DESTROY ILL STILB El WS MILL County Agent Advises Farmers to Get These Out of Way Be fore First i’ivst Farmers should destroy cotton stalks three weeks before frost, or earlier if possible, George O. Mar shall, county farm demonstration agent, said today. This does not mean necessarily to turn under the stalk but to kill the stalk by ripping it up and it means to kill all of the stalks in the field. If part of the stalks are left green, the wee vill will have something to feed upon and propogate. Weevils will not live over 20 to 25 days without food before frost, continued Mr. Marshall, and if the stalks are destroyed, the grown weevil in the field at that time will either starve before frost or go to other fields to hunt cotton or go into winter quarters. The larvae in the young bolls will then hatch but will be almost sure not to be able to' live through winter with out having some food before going .into winter quarters. By early de struction of stalks the weevils are forced into winter quarters early, and the death rate is much higher on account of staying in hiberna tion a long period of time. This will give a low percentage of wee vils to live through the winter and come out to attack the 1924 crop. The earlier the weevil is forced in to winter quarters, the earlier he will appear in the spring on the young cotton which will simplify th work of poisoning. From experiments con'duc/!|ed throughout the cotton belt for a number of years the following method seems to be the simplest, least expensive, and most effec tive : Begin poisoning with calcium arsenate, molasses and water mix ture immediately before the squares are formed. Apply this application about three times as the first squares are forming. By ear ly destruction of stalks most of the weevils should be out of hiberna tion by this time and sufficient control might be secured by this poisoning. However, if weevils ap pear later in the cotton, then use nothing but dry calcium arsenate. If the early work with the molasses mixture can be done thoroughly, most of the poisoning will be over and it can be done at that stage of the cotton with this home-made mixture more cheaply than with anything else. If the farmers of Sumter county will destroy their cotton stalks three weeks before frost, poison early with the home made mixture, and where neces sary follow with dry calcium ar senate for large cotton, combined with proper cultural methods, there is absolutely no doubt but that Sumter qounty can make a profit able yield of cotton next year, even though th'e weather conditions are not good. MAKE STUMP SURVEY IN LAURENS COUNTY DUBLIN, Sept. 19—A survey of Laurens county and for a radius of 50 or GO miles, is to be made by the chamber of commerce, aided by the Wrightsville and Tennille railroad, to ascertain how many stumps there are in the fields in this section, also the available dead pine wood, and other data along this line. The in formation is asked by government men who are interested in utiliza tion of the products now going to waste. Every land district is to be listed in this survey and as near as possi ble the number of cords of stump timber on each acre. Stumps are cal culated at 8 to the cord and with this as a basis the land owner is asked to count a given area, then get a fair average of the number on the entire field. Stumps will not be the only forest product counted, but the sawdust and waste from many sawmills will be counted. — football season to BE OPENED FRIDAY CORDELE, Sept. 19—The first football game of the season will be played on the local grounds Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock, the Cordele High team and the Vienna High School team furnishing the fun. The locals have made all plans for a hard fight and Coach Mardre and | his youngsters are-hopeful. Ihe game will be full of pepper and hard work so far as the locals are concerned. The Vienna boys are working hard and saying nothing, but they expect to take care of their end of the field. HONOR RABBI LANDAU ALBANY, Sept. 19.—Rabbi E. A. Landau, for the past twenty five years rabbi of the Albany He brew congregation, was fittingly re membered and honored by indi vidual members and organizations of the synagogue during the recent observance of the Jewish New ear.

Office in Americus Steam Laun dry SOUTH JACKSON STREET FARMER-BANKER CONFERENCES THROUGHOUT NATION DEVELOP WAYS TO AID AGRICULTURE Collective Marketing, Diversified Fanning, Promotion of Agricultural Education and Use of Bank Instead of Mercantile Credits Chief Lines of Suggested Action. A By D. H. OTIS, Director, Agricultural Commission, American Bankers Association. Four lines of action to improve the business of farming stand out in the discussions that have occurred at a series of farmer-banker conferences now being held throughout the United States. They are collective marketing, di versified farming, the promotion of agricultural education and the use of the more economical bank credit rather than mercantile credit. At many points active steps to 1 foster action along these lines have been taken. The conferences were Initiated by the Agricultural Commission of the American Bankers Association to the end that the condition of the man on the farm be improved. D. H. Otis The first conference was held in conjunction with the Wis consin College of Agriculture at Madison. An important point of contact for the work of the Commission ■was established at this meeting in the form of co-operation with the agricultural colleges. In five other states—California, Washington, Oregon, I<lah», and Utah —it was agreed at subsequent confer ences that bankers' agricultural com mittees would meet at the state agri cultural colleges and, in co-operation with the college officials, work out a program that they would recommend to the banks. The Texas Plan It was at the Texas conference that it was developed that the officials of both the bankers’ association and of the state college felt the big problem for that state was the establishment of a system of collective, orderly mar keting. In order to bring this prob lem effectively before the farmers and the bankers it was agreed to hold a banker-farmer meeting in December. Efftorts will b« made to get from 200 to 250 bankers to attend, each banker to bring with him several representa tive farmers cf his community. The program and demonstration will em phasize the need of meeting the mar keting problem and point ways to a satisfactory solution. At Athens, Georgia, the conference recommended that the State Bankers Association take steps to raise a fund for assisting deserving students to complete a college course in agri culture or home economics. This conference, recognizing the valuable work being done by county agricul tural and home demonstration agents, also went on record as favoring the employment of agents in each county. At the Raleigh, North Carolina, con ference the pressing problem, in addi tion to loans for worthy students, was held to be encouragement of the farm er to practice greater crop diversifica tion. The conferees felt that the first big step was to get farmers at least to produce sufficient vegetables, fruit, talik, meat and poultry to live on. 1,295 PUIPLS ENROLL IN VALDOSTA SCHOOLS VALDOSTA, Sept. 19. The opening of the city schools on Mon day far exceeds anything that was expected, so far as attendance is concerned.

Y., those participating felt that a better understanding between farmers and bankers would be beneficial to both. At present a large amount of the cred it used by farmers is in the form o! mercantile credit, which, it was point ed out, is much more expensive for them than bank credit. It was felt that a campaign of education is needed to acquaint farmers with banking facili ties. The conference, therefore, rec ommended that the Agricultural Com mittee of the State Bankers Associa tion, the agricultural college and rep resentatives of the Farm Bureau and the State Grange get togetheY for the purpose of working out programs and plans for further meetings to be held In the various counties of the state. At a conference held at Amherst, Massachusetts, there were representa tives from Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con necticut. Emphasis was placed on the importance of the Boys' and Girls’ Club work. The New-England confer ence also felt that the importance of bank credit over mercantile credit should be stressed. A resolution was adopted and is being sent to agricul tural committees in each State urging that they get in touch with their agri culural colleges and map out a pro gram for educating the farmer in re gard to the importance and ths econo my of bank credit over mercantile credit The emphasis on this resolution came not so much from the bankers present as it did from the representa tives of the agricultural colleges and the farmers. pupils. The most remarkable fact about the increase in attendance is found in the High school department, which jumped to 280 pupils, or more than 50 in excess of the en rollment last year. It Indicates that the High school will go- to 300 or moire before the end of the -present term. In the Junior High school there were 270 pupils enrolled. This also was more than were enrolled in jthat department last year.
