THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1924 WEEVILS BEGINNING TO REAPPEARAGAIN IK COTTON FIELDS HERE Sumter Farmers Warned to Watch Close and Poison Wherever They Are Found X GRUBS ARE HATCHING OUT Allow Five Days Between Poi sonings and Renew Applica tions in Case of Rain “The second crop of boll weevils are beginning to appear in Sumter county fields,” said George 0. Mar shall, county agent, today. ‘This means that farmers must keep th-i,- eyes wide open and inspect their plants closely. These are new wee vils; weevils that either escaped poisoning earlier in the season and grubs that hatched out after be ing laid by hiberating adults. “Wherever weevils are found, apply calcium arsenate quickly and repeat within five days. This is the Pne and only sure way to control the weevils. The fight is not won by a long ways. Wet weather is a big aid to the weevils, but contin ued rains even don’t mean that the weevil can’t be controlled. “In many parts of the county the Weevils appear to have been totally exterminated, but even in such fields as these, it is possible they .will be re-infested with the begin ning of the migratory period. The i closest watch must be kept from ./ now on until the cotton crop is made. Where there are no weevils, of course, it is needless to continue I poison applications—but be sure you have no weevils. Examine every plant carefully, and where the wee vils are found put the poison there, repeating the application after five days with out rain. “There is a mistaken idea held ■y some farmers that the weevils ?n’t attack half-grown bolls. ese furnish feeding places for weevils where there are no ires, though the weevils prefer squares blooms andi tender buds vij plant. In examining a field ’eevils now, particular atten- Mhould be given to the blooms '1 bljds where the weevil will be 10,' if they are in the field. If are no weevils found in the >ns where there are blooms now is fairly safe to assume that they ® well under control in such ifelds.” SOUTHERN PUTS ON » FAST PEACH TRAIN Full Day’s Time Cut Out of Journey to New York by Schedule Effective Today ATLANTA, July 10.—Effective today for the benefit of peach grow ers who are dependent on it for transportation to the markets of the east, the Southern railway an nounces that it will establish a new fast schedule cutting a full day out of the time required to move peach es from Georgia orchards to New York and other cities of the east. Under the new schedule peaches received by the Southern in Atlan ta up to 11 p. m. wil be put in a special train leaving Atlanta at 12:01 a. m., which will reach Po tomac Yards, Va., at 11 p. m., in ample time to make connection with the fast perishable trains for New York and other markets. In order to get peaches into At lanta in time to connect with -he fast train in the east, the Southern will run connecting trains, leaving Fort Valley at 4 p. m., Columbus at 1:30 p. m., Cochran at 1:55 p. m. and Macon at 6:30 p. m., all due to arrive in Atlanta at 10:30 p. m. Viaduct Measure Comes Up Today Continued from page one so-called tax equalization law by adopting a substitute measure. The viaduct bill has been post poned several times this session. The tax repeal measure, also suf fering from postponment, was prac tically assured of definite action, however, following requests by President Carswell from the chair last week that the measure be dis posed of one way or another and acquiescence in the request by Senator Pace, co-author of the bill. The lower house had plenty of , proposed legislation before it and committees are holding daily ses sions, augmenting the legislative material. Just what measures would be considered at today’s session, though, was indefinite. The motor bus bill is on the calendar but it has been well up for several days and yet has not been reached. New bills continue to be dumped into the hopper of both branches. Many of the new measures are local in character and are being disposed of without debate. Under the desolution adopted in both houses, accepting the invita- i tion by the city of Athens to visit k that city and inspect the three institutions there, there will Session of the gem i on next 'Vvdnesd.it, SALESMAN SAM Make It I Supper and II Bales of Hay, Says Sam By Sv® ( ITS "uTXlYU'cjTTinu AV FtDMIT REV- HAVE YOU GENTLEMEN YAS-SEND/f ANO ONE s r « r , el s t 1 sect of FATE Ihe mntFY he WWyWxi ths.

Sparks, of M-x --con, was painfully cut late Wed nesday afternoon when the car in 1 which he was riding with Mrs. W. A. Dodson and other relatives, was struck by another machine driven by Mrs. Clark Poole. The acci dent occurred on South Lee street, near the Seaboard bridge, and was said to have been unavoidable. The Dodson car had become stall ed during a blinding rainstorm, and the engine went dead, due it is said to the excessive precipitation. Mrs. Poole was driving toward the city and in the heavy downpour failed to see the stalled Dodson car. The [two cars came together, with the glass in the rear top of the Dodson car being broken. Parts of th'S struck the young Sparks boy, who is visiting his grandmother, Mrs. Dodson, at her home here, inflicting painful injuries. Several cuts were made about the little boy’s face and nose, one of ,these being several inches long and likely to result in an ugly scar. Physicians who dressed his injuries state the boy will recover, although danger of infection exists. He is now at the home of Mrs. Dodson, where he is receiving tenderest care. July 16.

W. P. Wallis, of Americus, will speak to the congregation at New Point next Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, this being the reg ular preaching day there. Col. Wal lis is recognized as a fine speaker and a good church worker and no doubt many will go to hear him next Sunday afternoon. On account of the condition of the crops in the Rylandir commun ity the revival at that church, which was to have begun last Sun day, has been postponed until thu second Sunday night in August, continuing through the third Sun day. The third quarterlly meeting for the year has been announced to bo held at Concord on the third Sunday in July and Saturday before. Dr. Lovett, the presiding elder will preach both days, which means good preaching for that occasion. Din ner will be served on the grounds on Saturday and the conference will be held in the afternoon of the same day. The treasurers of each church are expected to furnish each steward with a list of the members in his charge who are in arrears with their dues that they may call upon them prior to that meeting. Good reports are expect ed at the conference and a good time generally. The public is most cordially invited and a largo delegation is expected from every church on the charge. The revival meeting at Con cord will begin with the quarterly meeting, services being held each day at 11 a. m. and 8 p. in. Rev. C. M. Infinger, of Parrott, will arrive on Monday and will do the rest of the preaching during the meeting. Rev. Infingex- is spoken of as a live wire, his powerful ser mons attracting much attention. Large congregations are expected and much good will no doubt be accomplished.

Prayer services are also called in for each Wednesday night during the revival, THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER T BROWN TO BEGIN RIB REVIVAL AT SHILOH Series Will Be Started With Prayer Meeting Services There Friday Night A series of meetings will begin at Shiloh Baptist Church near Amer icus Friday night with a prayer meeting service led by Rev.

MY DAUGHTER WOULD CRY AT EVERYTHING Nervous and Irritable. ByTaking LydiaE.Pinkham’sVegetableCom pound Became Entirely Normal Clinton, Wisconsin.—“My daughter was in a very run-down condition, and was irritable, and would cry at every little thing she was so weak and nervous. As Lydia E-Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound had helped me when I was a girl I gave it to her to build her up, and the results were all that we could wish for. I wish ® <3jj that every mother with growing girls would try it for these troubles girls often have. I had taken it myself before my girl was born, and she was one of the nicest babies any one could wish t have. 1 recommend the Vege table Compound to women and girls and cannot praise it too highly.’’ Mrs. I. A. Holford, Box 48, Clinton, Wisconsin. Mothers can depend upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to re lieve i' ir daughters of those troubles they so often have.
