NEW GARBAGE DISPOSAL PLAN BEING CONSIDERED COLUMBUS, May 13.—A survey is being made in Columbus in ccn nection with a proposed new method of handling garbage. B. H. Welton, of the Highway Tractor Company, of Edgerton, Wis., is in the city, and made an inspection yesterday with Homer Cornett, who is tin charge of garbage disposal here. The company, which Mr. Welton represents, has installed in a num ber of cities the tractor-trailor method. Under that plan the garb age is collected daily in various sec tions of the city and placed in trail ers, the vehicles being taken to a point where a garbage train hauled by- a tractor, passes. They are then connected to the train and taken to the city dump. This plan, it is stated, saves long hauls from vari ous sections of the city by each garbage wagon.

THE AMERICUS KS KEfflfi IS tUB fflfflW (Continued From Page One.) declared that there are today move farm mortgages on the books o;. Sumter county than ever before. “But, gentlemen, we have at last found a plan to pay off those m< rt gages; a plan that if followed, will produce a maximum crop of cotton in this county under any weather conditions that may prevail,” said Judge Hixon “It comes from the highest au thorities. It has been tested and it works. I have tested it and it w-orked right here for me. This plan will make a crop this year in this county if followed “Last year we got about one-third of a crop, roughly $2,000,000. It is a simple matter of mathematics to figure what a maximum crop would bring. We lost last year sl,- 000,000. If you gentlemen do what our committee ask you to 10, that is provide this loa~n fund of $20,- 000, I am satisfied that in the' next 10 days we will add $2,000,000 to the value of our 1924 cotton crop. Is that worth going after? Could we use it here this fall,” The speaker stated that the com mittee had carefully gone int 0 the cost of poisoning in the county that the total cost will be SIBO,- 000; that one-third of the farmers, maybe less, but to be safe that one third could not procure poison. Therefore the loan fund is abso lutely essential, he said. The speaker again cited results accomplished in Carroll county, where 10,000 hales were added to the crop by following the plan being, used in Sumter. He al o spoke of a farm in Calhoun, where before the boll weevil came pro duced 160 to 175 bales a year. “Last year under the plan we arc using, this farm picked 200 bales, and they had as much and more ra ! n than we bad here in Sumter,” the Judge declared. J. D. Hooks, speaking at some length on the necessity of immed iate and quick work, said that Sum ter county cotton is farther advanc ed than any he had seen and hq has just returned from a trip that covered several states Cotton is like peaches, it can not Ibe produced without poison and early poisoning at that,” said Mr. Hooks. ‘To wait for 10 per cent infestation is to lose your crop. Suppose we peach men waited for 10 per cent infestation. We would not sell a bushel of peaches. Our farmers must realize that t 0 get the ■weevil, we roust get him now, at the very beginning. The wa y to stop a hen from laying eggs is to cutt off her head. The way to stop the weevil is to get her before she lays any eggs.” A resolution, offered by Rotarian Fess Mathis, second by Evan Mathis president of the Kiwanis club, ex pressed confidence in the commit tee and its plans and pledged the aid and sympathy of the civic clubs. Declaring that this fight is the affair of every business man in Americus because hiss success t'tis fall depends on the 1924 cotton crop ,Lovelace Eve said the meeting last night was not a representative one and definite action wa spostponed for tonight, Tuesday, at 7:30 p . in. ALL MILITIA DISTRICT COMMITTEES MEET At the courthouse Tuesday morn ing, reresentatives from. every district were present, to from a permanent organization and to hear Mr. J. C. Maness, who returned to carry on this morning on the cam paign. Judge J. A. Rixon was elected permanent chairman and the plans of the district committees were be ing perfected during the noon hour. Mr. Maness was greatly delighted at the attendance of the morningf meeting, where both bankers and i farmers gatheed for a consultation, “I am back here to help you dirt farmers grow cotton said Mr Manes “and to grow a normal crop too not a half cop. W ith a normal crop you can pay your debts to the merchants and to the bankers. Without a normal crop this year I do not know what will happen to you. But I do know that if you are broke now, that with a poor crop this year, you’ll have lots of company this fall. The interest of the merchant and the banker is tied up in your crop, and a normal crop this year will be salvation of all. “Now listen to rtie and get this straight. I know what 1 am saying for 1 have tested and studied this plan along with many other men for many years. Here’s what I want you to know— “By the proper use of calcium arsenate, with proper cultural meth ods, you can make a normal crop of cotton in Sumter county this year. This plan has not failed in any county in the state. “A man is just as safe in putting his money in cotton now as he ever was, provided the farmer follows the plan w& outline. $2,000,000 THE STAKE IN CAMPAIGN v “But you must begin now. The next ten to fifteen days will abso lutely determine the size of your crop this year. Fifteen days at the outside, is all the time you have. After that will be too late. You have $2,000,000 at stake. Is it worth going after. You know whether you need, it, 1 do not. You know what shape your farmers merchants and bankers are in. I do not. But Ido know that there’s $2,000,000 in the balance. “If you merchants, bankers and farmers idle around until cotton is fruited, well, you’d best stop now, save your time and efforts. To wait for 10 per cent infestation is sim ple suicide. Would you wait until 10 per cent of' your barn had burn ed before you stated to put out the fire? Well, the same thing is true of the weevil. After he gets a 10 per cent start, you can’t stop him. No body has. That’s why you lost out last year and that’s why lots of other counties laughed at you last year,” said Mr. Maness. Here the speaker outlined his plan, which will be published in full tomorrow. Pamphlets will be printed and distributed free by this paper, giving the plan in detail and in simple language. Mr. Maness and George O. Marshall are at work on the copy to day. Some one asked Mr. Maness when a farmer could go fishing during the growing season. “I’ll tell you farmers,” he said. “ When you see tjre boll weevil with a pole over his shoulder and a bucket of bait in his hand, then is the time and only time you can afford to go fishing until after the poisoning season is passed.” Frank Sheffield, president of the Bank of Commerce, was the next speaker. “Mr. Maness,” he said, “you have given me more en couragement than I have ever had before. Your speech is a message of assurance. I am glad to hear you say we ar? broke, f have felt that until we are broke that we would not change our farming methods. BANKERS BACKING CAMPAIGN TO LIMIT “As a banker I agree with you and your plan. I believe in early poisoning. The banks will do their part in this campaign; they will do all in their power to supply the necessary equipment to the farm er who determines to follow your plan. “Os course, the bank is a trustee. The money in its vaults belongs to his depositors. Customers must be reasonable, remembering that the depositor must b e protected. “To your farmers, I say don’t put all your money into one crop. The farmer who does is like the banker who let one man have all his money. If he fails, the mon ey’s gone.” L. G. Council, president of the Planters Bank, said he thought he WALKER’S “The Store of Quality and Service.’’ THURSDAY SPECIALS All Hollywood Sandals—Black, Green and Red, all sizes; value $5.00, at — $3.95 Pair New Tub Silks—just received— stripes and checks; real values, at — > $1.49, $2.00 and $2.25 Yd.
