THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAY T. 1924 ~ CMC CLUBS ND IN WEEVIL FIGHT Cities and Towns May Suffer From Depressed Trade Un less Pest Is Routed ATLANTA, May I—The part that cities and townscan have in the light against the boll weevil is be ing brought out by the activities of various organizations in Southern cities and towns in cooperating with and assisting the cotton plant ers to make the fight against the pest which has levied such a heavy toll on the cotton region for many years, it was pointed out here to day by official of the Georgia De partment of Agriculture. The cities, it was asserted have acted not alone because of friend ship for the farmers, but also from self-interest, for unless the weevil is brought under control, these cities and towns will suffer from depress ed trade. A poor cotton crop, one made so by the heavy ravages of the boll weevil, will seriously affect (business in any community where cotton is the staple crop business men here assert. The smaller towns derive practically all of their trade from the farmers, while the cities draw both from the farms and smaller communities. For this reason, Georgia agricul turists show, there is a cooperative effort being made this year to bring about the control of the weevil. With the approach of the season ■when the boll weevil begins to make this appearance, added efforts are being made to get a start on the insect, reports received here state. Agriculturists and entomologists at the State Capitol have agreed that there are methods by which the weevil can be controlled. The cal cium arsenate method has been en dorsed as the most effective, and therefore it is being advocated more widely than any other. “Peddler Cars,” carrying calcium arsenate for sale to farmers, have been oper ated on several railroads during the last week under the supervision of the State Board of Entomology. Farmers should,, begin prepara tions at once, is the opinion of J. J. Brown, Georgia commission of agri culture, if they have not already done so, to wage a hard fight this year to bring about the control of the weevil. It is estimated that the weevil has cost the South more than $200,- 000,000 annually for the past few years. This great economic loss can be reduced by effective meth ods, agriculturists declare. Cooper ation on the part of the cities and towns will aid greatly, it is claim ed, ;but it remains for the farmer, experts show, to take advantage of this cooperation to secure any defi nitee results in controlling the weevil. ) “He should do this not only to protect himself against loss,” said Commissioner Brown today, “but to aid in the general movement to gradually reduce the heavy toll levied on cotton region by the wee vil.” DR.

Success With the Growing-Stock on Free Range or in Confinement By EARL M. WHITNEY Proper care and management of the growing stock Is one of the must important essentials to the success of the poultry venture. It Is not sufficient to bring them safely through the danger period of the first six weeks. TherS is more than this to the proper growing of chicks. The same careful atten tion to details should continue throughout the spring and summer season. This applies whether the chicks are raised in confinement (limited yards and runways) or on free range. There are several essentials to bear in mind when you are making preparations for the growing sea son. The housing plan is all important, as is also the system of feeding. Then there is the question of the amount of range obtainable as well as the kind of range. In the hot summer season adequate shade must be provided or growth will be retarded. Freedom from lice and mites must be assured. Flocks of different ages and sizes must be prevented from run ning together. Yes, there Is plenty of work ahead for the poultryman If he intends to grow his stock right and carry Into winter quar ters healthy, vigorous, well-devel oped birds that will reward him for his efforts with maximum produc tion. \ Colony House Plan Is Best. Do not keep chicks confined too long in small quarters. As soon as they are well feathered and the weather permits, move them Into colony houses and provide range. Make certain that the colony houses are of the modern type and constructed according to the best Ideas of ventilation. Fresh air quarters are a vital need to good health and rapid growth. Avoid overcrowding. Give the growing stock as much space as you possibly can, Indoors and out. An orchard is the Ideal location for the colony house. Here the birds are provided with ample shade, plenty of green stuff and worms and insects which always come in goodly numbers wlieqe fruit trees are grown. By this plan a double service is rendered. The chickens get the advantage of the best growing conditions that Nature can supply and at the same time destroy the worms and , in sects so harmful to fruit as well us enrich the soli. When confined to runs, particu larly when these runs are bare, a supply of green stuff s uld be fed regularly each day. That Is the one big difference to make in the feeding formula of the confined chickens from those on free range. How to Feed Growing Stock. Aside from the addition of a plentiful supply of green food to the ration of the birds whose range Is limited to yards and runways, the system of feeding should he the same Irrespective of the amount of range available.

MOTT FUNERAL HELD TODAY AT ELLAVILLE ELLAVILLE, May 1 .—Funeral services for Z. T. Mott, pioneer citi zen of Schley county, who died Wednesday morlning, were held this morning at ten o’clock from his residence on church street. Rev. C. D. Carter conducted the services. Interment was in the lo cal cemetery. The death of Mr. Mott came after an illness of two days duration. He had not been well for the past four months, but was able to be up until Monday. He was born in 1874 near Lowe, moving to Ella ville in 1914 where he has since resided. He was a member of the Baptist church and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.

It is "Safe and Sensible.’’ PRICE 25c $5,000 TO LOAN On Americus Residence Property Phone 830 LEWIS ELLIS plan should be strictly adhered to. The reason Is plain. You have accustomed the chicks during the first six weeks of life to the system of mash feeding. Not only does their proper growth and develop ment demand that this system be continued as carefully in the sum mer as at any other season, but also the fact that fall and winter consumption of egg mash will be diminished as a result of failure to carry out the scientific feeding plan in its entirety. That would mean reduced egg production, be cause It Is an established fact that it Is the mash feed with which hens manufacture eggs. The more mash they consume, the more eggs you get. Therefore ft Is most Important not to “break the chain.” Start with the chick food and at five or six weeks of age begin a grad ual change to the growing mash, which should be kept before them continuously in open hoppers until the period of egg production is at hand, when the same gradual change should be made to the egg mash. ( , Failure to feed growing mash during the summer often means that the birds will have to be starved Into the mash feeding sys tem in the fall and winter. They have made the wrong turn In feed ing development, so to speak, and It is often a difficult task to get them back. The writer can testify to this fact through actual experi ence, and the facts are given here in the hope that they will save others from this common mistake. Don’t depend upon the bugs and worms the birds secure on free range as a substitute for growing mash. It simply doesn’t work. Importance of Water Supply. The Importance of clean, fresh water cannot be exaggerated, par ticularly In the very hot weather, when fountains should be changed frequently and every possible ef fort made to keep It cool. Is an acknowledged fact that a good drinker is a good layer when prop erly fed. If water Is kept In right condition, the birds will undoubt edly drink more. Drinking can be made to become a set habit with them and that is what you want. Responsibility does not cease with the keeping of water before fowls continuously, however. It should be as nearly pure and fresh at all times as that you would drink yourself. This cannot be done very easily with open containers. A covered fountain or bucket 18 necessary. The Pratt Poultry Insti tute, Philadelphia, Pa., can furnish you with easy Instructions for con verting a bucket Into the kind of container that will.* meet thia need. The school also supplies colony house plans free on request and offers the further service of free aid In the solving of any per plexing problems with which the poultry raiser Is confronted.

Phone 75 Help Kidneys By Drinking More Water Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and Help Neutralize Irri tating Acids Kidney and bladder irritations often result from acidity, says a noted au thority. The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it may remain to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irri tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig ing you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer in constant dread; the water passes sometimes with scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is diffi culty in voiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they can’t control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to over come. Begin drinking lots of soft water, al <> get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act nor mal again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by acid irri tation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves cent litnia-water drink which may quickly relieve your bladder irritation. By all means have your physician exam ine your kidneys at least twice a year.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound jito build me up as | was all run- I down, nervous and I sick. I ached and I hurt all over so that I was often compelled to go to bed, and I had to have most of my work done. No medicine seemed to help me until one of my neigh iiJbors who was tak- iMmF - I ing the Vegetable Compound insisted on me trying a bottle of it. The medi cine helped me from the first, and the best of all is that I can even sew again without that awful, nervous feeling I was used to having. And I used to take crying spells, with such a blue feeling that 1 cannot explain. Now all that has left me. I feel so cheerful, and I have gained in weight, sleep well and eat hearty. Oh! I wish I had words to express what this medicine has done for me! I am a housekeeper and do every thing from the sewing to the washing now and it doesn’t hurt me.
