PAGE FOUR COTTON PRODUCTION PROGRAM AGREED »N Farmers, Merchants and Bank ers Will Unite in Fight on Weevil Next Year (Continued on Page Two.) bales of cotton will be produced on 10 acres. This field was poisoned 10 times with dry calcium only. He cited another farm where an average of one bale to every two acres will be produced this year, the farm having been efficiently poisoned during the season. He cited another farm of equal acre age next to it which had not been poisoned and which will not pro duce more than one bale to every, eight acres. In discussing the destruction of cotton stalks now Mr. Marshall said the cutters and mowers were not satisfactory; that it was best to rip up the talks and cover them as far as possible. Gordon Heys stated that while he started mopping a little late in the season, he was very sure that his acreage this year would pro duce half a bale to the acre. He said that early in the season he picked 10,000 weevils on four acres, thus proving that his farm was thoroughly infested. Frank Ward, an expert from the SAate College of Agriculture, said that little work had been done so far towards the destruction of stalks, and that in his opinion this was of most vital importance. “In hot weather the weevil cannot live longer than 20 or 30 days unless he has the cotton stalks on which to feed; kill the stalks and you get the weevils, both at feeding and breeding places.” He also rec ommended the turning under of stalks as far as possible, but said that he realized this was very hard to accomplish, and that in any evnt the stalks should be cut clos'e to the ground to prevent re budding. He said that in the de struction of the stalks it was nec essary that it should be a neigh borhood task; that if one farmer destroyed stalks and another failed to do so. the weevils would mere ly go to the next field and thus find feeding and breeding places until cold weather. Mr. Ward also recommended the use of the syrup mixture for ear ly poisoning, beginning as early as the squares begin to form and fol lowing later in the season with dusting. Mr. W’ard said that in his inves tigations he had found that the home mixtures were just as effec tive and decidedly cheaper than the numerous patented mixtures. He stated that the picking up of the squares was very effective but vfery costly. Those called together by the chamber of commerce and Mr. Marshall resolved themselves into a committe-e pledging both their time and fcioney towards carrying the proposed program to every farm, largo or small, in Sumter cdunty. The committee is composed of Frank Sheffield, of the Bank of Commerce,’ L. G. Coungil, of the Planters Bank; W. T. Anderson, of the Bank of Leslie; Joe M. Bryan, of (he Empire Bank; Frank Harrold, of K'arrold Brothers; Gordon Heys, R. L. McMath, Sr., C. C. Hawkins, George Riley, C. H. Burke, W. O. Easterlin, John Methvin, R, E.

British North Borneo, has as guest Enid Bromley, daughter of Chard Bromley, new manager of the Baniak-Baniak rubber estatte Peter Pennington engaged by the government to apprehend Chai-Hung, leader of The Yellow Seven, a gang of Chinese bandits, loves Hewitt’s sister, Monica Viney. Jocelyn Gwynne comes to Jesselton and tells Pennington that he knows Chard Bromley and that Brom ley has no daughter. NOW GO ON WITH TrtE S:ORY “Anyhow, I had been having a spot wirn Chard Bromley at the hotel. Ju«t U 3 I was tanking of pushing off. a r.otono’.Ts bad hat tried to touch him for money. Bromley’s a pretty decent I tile chap, taking him all round, and I thought my interference was justi fied. Soames hadn’t heard what I’d said to Bromley, but I gather ed from the look he gave me when he cleared that he understood what had come between the planter and his generosity. I followed him otit, partly out of curiosity and partly because I wanted an ex cuse for going—and, leaning against the stone parapet, I saw Chai-Hling. He was in pukka evening-kit and his shirt front was immaculate. About half a dozen paces from him a large car was waiting. Soames walked straight up to him and, before I could col lect my senses, they had driven off spreading *he necessary intorma tion over Sumter county. Every merchant in the county will be given the opportunity to subscribe to a fund towards wag ing this fight from now until next July, Mr. Marshall stated. Mr. Marshall, Mr. Ward, and others are now preparing the prog ram with all of its recommenda tions in printed form which will be placed in the hands of every farm er in the eountv. Meetings are to b« called in each of the 10 school districts at which this program will be pre sented by Mr. Marshall and other members of the executive commit tee, the first meetings possibly oc curring next week. Before adjourning quite a dis cussion was entered into regarding securing calcium arsenate for next year. L. G. Council, George Riley and R. L. McMath have taken this matter in hand and it is the inten tion of the committee to attempt to secure all the noison necessary for a successful fight next year,, contracting for same at the lowest possible cost. However, nothing definite can be stated along this line at this time. PropcrScrvice Have you ever been satisfied with your Fountain Pen?

Drugs were his chief trouble, I understand.” “Chard; Bromley’s over here now,” said the Commissioner. “By the way, you referred to him as a little feller; I should hardly call Bromerly little, would you, Daw son.?” Dawson shook his head ponder ousy. “Scarcely.” Wwynne looked from one to the other in amazement. “Are you sure?” “Positivte.” The Commissioner smiled condescendingly at the younger man, who had Crimsoned to the roots of his hair. “His daughter’s staying at my place now.” ’ “Daughter?” “People do have daughters, you know,” put in Dawson. “Come along, Gwynne. We’re going to rope you in for dinner with us. You’ll be able to see for yourself then. You’ve got hold of the wrong man, old son; done it myself scores of times.” “I tell you I met Chard Bromley in the bar at Raffles. He was a little man, and I’m prepared to wager he hadn’t a daughter with him.” Hewitt rose to his feet, the oth ers following suit. “Someone’s been pulling your leg. he told him. “Chard Brom ley’s here all right. I happened to see his credentials myself, and they were perfectly in order. He’s talking about arranging a gigan tic housewarming, by the bye, in the bungalow the late manager never lived to see completed. I suppose everybody who’s any body’ll be there.”. Pennington affected surprise. “You going, Jack?” “I don’t see why not,” said the We Weld Anything, Any Where Any Time No Job too Large, None too Small. A Trial is all we ask.

Dawson and Gwynne walk ed in front. “Bromley’s arear’s still restless,’ said Pennington after a prolonged pause. “If he raided the estate while you were dancing, Chai- Hung’d stand a fair chance of bagging every important function ary in Borneo.” Hewitt laughed. , “Twenty or thirty whites would give your friend a deuced’ warm reception. I’m not forgetting the Yellow Seven and I’ll make it my business to insure nbody goes emp ty-handed.” Captain John Hewitt stretched himself wearily, pushed from in front of him the documents at which he had been working after dinner, and strolled out on the ver anda. Both the living room and the ve randa were deserted. He cast a quick glance round him and re marked that one of the most com fortable chairs was missing. Thir- Need a Tonic? When Run-down or Recovering from the Grip— or if It Left You in a Weakened Con dition, Here’s Good Advice Atlanta, Ga.—“l became acquainted with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery;, some years ago. I had con tracted malaria and the ‘Golden Medi cal Discovery’ cured me and then kept me in good health. “My husband bad the ‘flu’ and it left him weak and scarcely able to be around. He took the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and it helped him wonderfully. We find it is a great tonic for the blood.”—Mrs. J. D. Thompson, 209 Dalvigny St. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery is a well known tonic and builder that can be procured in tablets or liquid from jour neighborhood druggist or send 10c to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y„ for a trial pkg. of the tablets and writ.e for free medical advice. ty seconds later he had succeeded in tracing the dim outline of the missing piece of furniture—not a dozen yards from the foot of the steps. A single glowing spot—ac centuated against the’ blackness — indicated that the Chair was oc cupied. Hewitt went down “That you, Peter?” The pleasantly contralto torfcs of Enid replied to him,. “No, it’s I Captain Hewitt. The others have gone dovzn to the coast. Mrs. Viney was anxious to discover how the native fishermen spiked f’sh.” He took the flight at a couple of strides and, selecting a wicker stool, placed it in the immediate proximity of Miss Bromerly. Why didn’t you go and see the fishing by lamplight, Miss Brom ley?” She tossed the end of her cigaret into*the darkness. “It didn’t seem altogether fair going out to enjoy ourselves while you were slaving away in there. So I stopped.” There was something hTiout Enid Bromly that was far more intoxicatin gthan the contents of the decanter. “That was really nice of you,” ttASSIFOADVEMENTS LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN— -1 grdy mare mule, weight about 1 400 lbs., about 15 years oldj also 1 dark bay horse mule, weight about 1,200 lbs., 10 years old.

Sept. 20—Because the State cf Georgia’s agricultural and industrial supremacy among the Southern states has been eclips ed one by one. by other common wealths that have spent enough money and given the proper atten tion to the elimination of prevent able diseases within their borders, a state-wide conference on this se rious situation that has developed in the former queen bf Southern states has-been called by the Sa vannah Board of Trade for Oc tober 26 in Savannah to consider way and means of doing something definitely and quickly about it. Malaria, hook worm, typhoid, tu beruclosis and other preventable diseases, particularly in the coastal and South Georgia counties have made such inroads that many of the former have lost twenty per cent of their population in the past ten years and in the southern coun ties there has been a loss of two per cent. Georgia this year has had $90,- 000 appropriated by the legislature with which to fight disease for the benefit of the .public health while North Carolina with not as a great a population, has more than three times that Sum. The forthcoming state confer ence on the promotion of public Hewitt contrived to respond. “I’m sorry you missed the show on my account. It’s suite an interesting spectacle. The fish comes up to see what the light is : —and Mr. j Black Man jabs his spear into it.” | The girl laughed. (Continued.)
