walks between the plqw handles who
must deliver the final death blow
to the worst enemy of the South
or the nation ever had. But to con

the agency we have discovered will
require a tremendous amount of
education and agitation.
Os Worldwide importance
“This is especially true among the I
ignorant cotton growers and there I
are hundreds of thousands in this
class. It will serve no permanent
benefit purpose to destroy the boll
weevil in some sections and allow
him to remain at large in others.
To do this will only afford tem
porary relief for a limited number.
What we must do is to completely,
f : nally and forever destroy the
weevil.’’
Mr. Jordan said the matter was
worldwide in importance and ho i
was not surprised when informed !
that President Coolidge Secretary■
of Agriculture Wallace, Secretary of |

of the. Navy Roosevelt were deeply i
concerned over the situation con-1

fronting ’industry .because of a
(threatened shortage of cotton.
“In 1865 cotton could not be ob
tained at any price and that was
because of the Civil war,” said
Mr. Jordan. “The same situation
j threatens us for the near future
j unless we can deal a fatal blow at
j the boll weevil. Knowing that a
I cotton famine threatens the coun
try, the British are getting ready
to devote vast tracts of country in
central Africa to the production of
the staple, end the government of
Queensland, Australia, has set aside
100,< 00 for exeprimental purposes
and has offered to pay a bonus of
from five to eight cents a pound
on all ’cotton produced within the
state. • •
Will Take Years.
“But, even if they do try to grow
! cotton in these countries, it will be
some years before they can bring
to maturity a worthwhile quantity
of the staple. In the meanwhile,
industry in America and Europe
will suffer because of a shortage.”
Mr. Jordan said the negroes,
whose labor is depended upon to
pick and prepare the cotton for
market, as well as to plough the
land and plant it, are leaving their
Southern homes by the hundreds of
| thousands; “If they get ffbtled
j in the North, it will be difficult to
i get them back; though,” he declar-
I ed, “cottcn is in their blood, and
j it would take more than migration
; to get it out. /
Everybody Must Help.
“I am glad to say that the spin-
I ners, the leaders of the cotton ex-
I changes and the heads of other
great industries are awaking to the
I fact that this is a national, not\a
i local, question.” said Mr. Jordan.
- ‘The truth is, if we are denied as
, sistance from Northern industries,
it will be futile to attempt to get
rid of our little but terrible enemy.
; “I am sure that industry in the
, North wants a prosperous and con
! tented South, and certainly the
j South desires that the buying pow
er of the North be enhanced instead
of reduced. But one can readily
j see what wtould be the result of a
I failure on the part of the South to
I supply needed cotton. It would
mean wholesale closing of mills, a
great reduction in the output of
automobiles and distress and <m
farrassment in a great many ether
industries. What we want the
North to do is to help us educate
the cotton farmers of the South to
the immense importance of getting
ridt of the bol] weevil.”
The energy output of an average
workmen, it is estimated, is about
one-tenth of a horsepower in an
eight-hour day.

FARMERS SPEND WISELY
AS DO INDUSTRIALISTS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—(8y
the Associated Press.) —Econom-
ists of the department of agricul
ture have completed a study of the
average annual expenditures of a
farmer’s family in Livingston Coun
ty, N. Y., and finds the amount
to be $2,012. The purpose of the
study, which will be extended to
various parts of the country, is to
determine whether farmers get
“adequate returns in comfort,
health and enjoyment from their
expenditures” as compared with
the industrial family.
Livingston county was selected as
a general farming community 'of
average prosperity. The most strik
ing feature of the study, thd de
partment said, was the almost
complete similarity found in items
of exependitures of the two classes.
About one-third of the farm ex
penditures was figured < n items not
involving direct purchase food
produced on the farm and unpaid
labor. Os the total, the expendi
ture for food was 39.5 per cent;
clothing, 13 per cent; education,
recreation and church and social ac
tivities, 16 per cent.
Automobiles were owned by 75. G
per cent of the families and the
cost of their operation and repair,
classed under expenditures for
"ndvancemeht,” was $65 a year.

Crowds of inhabitants of Oels spent
Sunday dressed in their Sunday

At G o’clock Sunday evening

During the day the former crown

Flags were flying in the town to
