PAGE TWO PUSHED IN SOUTH ter y»- ' Civic Organizations Aid Farm er* To Get Calcium Arsenate * In Many Sections ATLANTA, April 15.—The part that cities and towns can have in' the "fight against the boll weevil is being brought out by the activities of commercial organizations in a number of Southern cities and (towns in cooperating with and as sisting the cotton growers in the campaign for elimination of the greatest menace there is to South ern agricultural prosperity, it was pointed out here today by leading agriculturists. , Cooperation by the business men- and organizations of the towns with the farmers, it was declared, is after all but a move for self pro tection, for, it is claimed, unless the boll; weevil is conquered and the damage it is doing to the cotton cropjean be checked, the towns will Jiavejlittle to hope for in the way of business from the rural districts. Th&country trade of most interior towns, it is claimed, is the chief dependence of business in them. De prived of their country trade, most <of the towns would 'be practically without trade. An object lesson in coopera tion of commercial organizations of towns with the farmers in the wee vil fight is furnished* in Georgia, and by the enterprising city of Al bany. The Albany Chamber of Commerce through its secretary and after a conference with the county agent formulated plans for a cam paign against the weevil. The plans were submitted to the board of directors and were adop ted. One of the first steps taken was to arrange for the sale of cal cium. arsenate from a ‘peddler” ear and all farmers were notified that the poison could be purchased in 100 pound lots at 12 cents a pound. “The fight on the boll weevil must be carried forward this year as it never has been before, for the weevil promises to do its greatest work of destruction in the crop of cotton that is planted this Jyear.” declared J.

BUSINESS® SIJUNO i IN WHOLE SOUTHEAST Governor Wellborn, of Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, Says Banks Are Prosperous ATLANTA, April 15.—General business conditions in the Sixth federal reserve district, which in cludes the states of Georgia, Ala bama and Florida, as well as por tions of Tennessee, Mississippi ana Louisiana, are on a basis that is, fundamentally sound, according -0 Hon. M. B. Wellborn, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of At lanta. Governor Wellborn says that the sharp lesson taught by the inflation of 1920-1921 has not been forgot ten and has tended to promote cau tion and conservatism. | “Thj banks in this district are strong and prosperous and condi tions fairly good with the exception of a few exceptions where crop failures have been experienced for the past two or three years,” said Governor Wellborn. “Manufacturing plants are re ceiving orders in sufficient ajbun dance to keep them operating on full time, notably the rteel indus tries around Birmingham, the iron pipe products at Anniston, Alabama, and the numerous cotton mills of Alabama and Georgia.” Governor Wellborn called par ticular attention to the fact that there is a distinct movement of Eastern textile interests toward the South, where climatic advantages and ample labor insure good re sults. "There are indications of a more systematic and determined fight against the boll weevil and there will probably be a larger cotton production in 1924 than was the case last year, although the grow ing tendency toward the long preached doctrine of crop diversifi cation has made Such headway that 3 bumper cotton crop is unlikely” said Governor Wellborn. Restrict ed acreage, intensive cultivation, and the general use of calcium arsenate and other insect poisons of proven value will do much to improve the condition of the com ing crop. CENTRAL HAS HUGE PAYROLL REPORT SHOWS SAVANNAH, April 15.—That the Central of Georgia Railroad had a prosperous year in 1922 and that it now has more employes on its payrolls than ever in its history, are outstanding facts in the twenty ninth annual report which is being now completed and prepared for distribution to the stockholders. Improved business condition are cited and the gross receipts of the were the highest ever in any year, amounting to $26, 198, 848, whi¥h w® over tw'elve and one half per cent above the preceding year, or $2, 912,116 increase over 1922. I’he net railway operating income of the road was, however, $3,944,872, a decrease of over $447,000 from the previous year. The decrease of earnings was due, it was shown, al most entirely to the increased cost of maintenance. Improvements of the service took up much necessary investment of earnings. The oper ating expenses were over $21,000,- 000, an increase of over three mil lion. While Yale students have volun tarily decided to limit drinking, some may consider the sky is the limit.
