MUST MAKE COTTON Mr. J. A. Holloman Tells How It Can Be Done With the 801 l Weevils Doing Their Worst In the Atlanta Constitution Mon day of this week, Mr. J. A. Holloman, one of the south’s best writers and one of Georgia's most valuable citi zens, who is the Constitution’s spe cial editors, had a three column ar ticle on the boll weevil situation which will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the farmers of Georgia and which should be read by every farmer in the state and south. Mr. Holloman has studied the boll weevil, has visited every cot ton section of the south and looked thoroughly into the growing of cot ton in the midst of the boll weevil conditions and he knows absolutely what he is talking about. What he aays is the truth about the cotton and boll weevil situation. We wish we had space to reproduce the entire article but we are printing herewith extracts from it which will show con clusively that our farmers should TROUBLESOME COT IGHS indicate that the powers of resistance to disease are lowered.

Some of the main points in Mr. Holloman’s article are as follows: I have visited every section of every state that grows cotton, and there is not one of them free from weevil infestation. The weevil is just a prevalent in Texas today as he was when the fields of that great empire of white were swept clear of the staple com pletely as the forest is swept by a tornado. The weevil is just as prevalent in Louisiana, and Mississippi and Ak kansas, and Alabama as at any time since the invasion of the insect across the Rio Grande— And yet, except where a planter refuses to learn the lesson, thoe sec tion*, step by step, have returned to normalcy in cotton production, t>n a basis of acreage cultivated; and by cutting the chains of single crop bondage, not only provide the leading money crops each year, but live at home, feed their stock at home, and supply the markets with rotating products that supplement to a mark ed degree the net cash income from a year’s operation. Therefore, again and again, I want to impress the truth that weevil eradication is impossible— The growing of cotton successfully under weevil conditions must be by cultural methods, and by weevil con trol—not by any effort or hope of weevil extermination. In all frankness I repeat, the agri cultural salvation of the southeast depends upon growing cotton suc cessfully under boll weevil condi tions. Crop diversification is imperative, and it is now forced in the applica tion erf tbo cultural methods neces sary in successful cotton production. We can talk from now until eterni ty about finding game other crop as satisfactory as cotton for a money crop. It can never be dome. In localities it is being done, as a specific may be adapted to a special product and a cash market established through co-operative growing; but take the south as a whole, nothing can or ever will take the place of cotton as the farmer’s source of cash. Hence the importance of learning the lesson of coping with weevil con ditions. Now let me repeat again the car dinal rules in the “rules of reason” for growing cotton under weevil con ditions — First, destruction of the overwin ter weevil by turning under stalks, and keeping the fences clean, and otherwise destroying the natural hi bernation haunts to as great a de gree as practicable. Second, segregation of the fcotton fields as much as practicable from woodland, and keeping the fields well drained. Cover crops should be planted in the fall. Third, perfect preparation of the seed beds; the use of early maturing tested and pedigreed varieties of seed; and just as early planting as is climatically safe. Simply gambling with the elements, however, is un- wise. Fourth, reduction of acreage to from five to ten acres to a plow, so that cultivation shall be intensive, continuous and thorough—and con tinued without interruption, weather being favorable, until the picking sea son begins. Liberal use of fertilizers under prescribed regulations for growing cotton is imperative. Fifth, the early and adequate preparation of calcium arsenate dust ing, and the application of the dust regularly, systematically, and under rules prescribed by the state board of entomology. Sixth, recognition of the fact, at all times, under all circumstances, and in spite of momentary periods of condition optimism, that cotton must be only a surplus crop, and that the farm reorganization must be on that basis. Seventh, the surplus farm acreage must be planted to other crops—par ticularly food and feed crops. Eighth, work, work, work! In tensive farming! Better farming! No picnics or summer camp meetings or “laying-by” until the top and bot tom crops are both made, and the un punctured bolls are “out of the woods.” * ’! # * Farmers this year who followed such a schedule —and thousands of them who failed last year are on easy street now—made more net money this year than ever. The increased cost of production will not exceed $5 average hn acre, from the use of arsenate, and the in creased production to the acreage planted on an intensive basis will off set this, and a,dd a surplus to the net. Again let me urge— Let’s begin the fight now for an other year! Gradually, Georgia is joining the cotton states to the west in emerging from the weevil panic.

LADEN WITH BUICK AUTOS, FREIGHT TRAIN MAKES RECORD HAUL One of the quickest long distance freight hauls on record was com pleted in Atlanta Sunday morning at 11:30 o’clock, when the Southern railway brought into the city a solid trainload of 200 Buick automobiles which were shipped from the fac- CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY AIDS DEVELOPMENT OF STATE’S MINERAL RESOURCES If you will take your map of Georgia and draw parallel lines about an inch apart, diagonally across the state from Augusta in the northeast corner, past Cuthbert to the southwest, you will indi cate in a general way the location of practically inexhaustible clay deposits. It would be entirely appropriate to color the clay belt in gold, because it represents such tremendous potential wealth. Georgia is generally regarded as an “agricultural state,” but its mineral products in 1920 were valued in excess of $13,000,000 and clay products (brick and tile) made up approximately 35 per cent of this amount. Indeed, Georgia clay stands second only to Georgia marble in the list. The development of the clay industry means more to a larger number of people than any other mineral. The Central of Railway traverses the clay belt, which is about 15®*miles in length and which is from 25 to 50 miles wide. With a determination to ascertain exact facts upon which a program of development might be based, this railroad has for the past year and a half, been co operating with the government in a series of tests carried on at the ceramic station of the United States Bureau of Mines at Columbus, Ohio, and in various factories and potteries. This research work and these plant tests are still in progress, but have reached a point where it may be stated with full assurance that Georgia kaolins when properly prepared can compete with the English china clays (now so largely imported) in the filler trade and the manufacture of pottery, electric porcelain, floor tile, wall tile, and sanitary ware. This fact has been sufficiently established and is of immense industrial importance. > An even more inviting field for deevelopment is afforded by the bauxitic or refractory clays, new deposits of which have recently been discovered. These clays possess the primary requisite for the manufacture of fire brick, for electric, chemical, metallurgical and industrial furnaces —the ability to withstand fusion' at high temperature.’ Plant tests show further that brick made from clays can successfully carry a surprisingly great load at high temperatures and resist cracking and chipping when subjected to sudden heating and cooling. There is enough clay in Georgia to supply the needs of the nation for generations to come. The deposits are so favorably located as to permit mining and marketing with a maximum of economy. There is an increasing demand and a decreasing competitive supply. To advantage themselves of these favorable circumstances clay producers need chiefly to bring about a uniformity of product whereby the pottery indutsr.v may be assured of a standard of excellence. Refractory clays are so located as to permit mining at about 15 per cent of the cost usual in handling fireclays. There is a market ready at hand in Birmingham and elsewhere for firebrick for metallurgical work and the continent of South America is a vast market place with a growing demand, which can be met un der favorable transportation conditions. Dr. R. T. Stull, chief ceramist of the United States Bureau of Mines, who has personally in spected the clay deposits of Georgia and who has had charge of the research work at the experiment station, says: “The opportunities for development are so numerous and so glowing that it is dif ficult even to suggest them in a limited space. There are great things ahead for those who own and who handle Georgia clays if they bring to bear intelligent modern meth ods in meeting and solving their problems. “The research work and plant tests that the Central of Georgia Railway has made possible proves the value of the refractory clays for furnace linings, so important to the industries. It further proves that Geoigia kaolins can be utilized for a much wdder field of usefulness in the pottery, filler and allied trades.” Pamphlets describing the clay resources, the searching tests that the Company has had made at the government station, the preliminary results, and other facts may be obtained upon application to J.
