After all it is the man, who 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 vince him that he should utilize 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 | War Weeks and Acting Secretary j of the.

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.

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. FIRE DEPT. MAKES RUN TO ASHBY ST.

A depend able baking powder must be employed or you do not get the full nutritious value of the wheat—nor will your bakings be as pal atable and easily digested. The same results cannot be had if you use Self Rising Flours, or any so called ready-to-use substitute for plain flour and good baking powder. Food authorities and physicians agree that bak ings that do not raise properly are bad for the health. Such foods are hard to digest and in time cause stomach trouble. Mothers who are interested in the proper growth and health of their children (and all mothers are) should never use anything but a good brand of plain flour and a time-tested leavener such as Calumet—the economy Baking Powder. Calumet has more than the ordi a nary leavening strength. It raises • every baking to its height of nutri tious value. It is pure and depend able do not look for a substitute — there is none. Use Calumet and be positive of whole some nutritious and economical foods.
