Action of Congress on Eight Hour
Law Resented by Farmers.
Fort Worth, Texas. —H. N. Pope,
President of the Texas Farmers’
Union, has given out the follow
ing statement, commenting on
the eight-hour law passed by Con
gress Saturday:
"The people of this nation have,
during the pust week, passed
through the most humiliating ex
perience this government has ever
endured. A few labor leaders
have stood at the portals of Con
gress demanding that government
give them a ransom or they will
wreck society. This nation, In
stead of meeting the situation
bravely, has delivered the goods In
fear and trembling.
"Our American Congress has
stood within the shadow of the
Goddess of Justice and voted an
Increase hi wages to four hundred
thousand trainmen, who are the
highest paid laborers In the world,
and never at any time mentioned
the three hundred and fifty thou
sand trackmen who are perhaps the
poorest paid workmen In the world,
and who must subsist almost whol
ly upon the crumbs that the train
men leave upon the table.
"When cotton was selling for six
cents per pound two years ago and
poverty stalked over the Southland,
causing a greater financial loss to
the Southern plowmen than the
freeing of slaves, Congress confess
ed Inability to cope with the situ
ation and stepped aside, letting this
ful burden fall upon the backs
of the tillers of the soil. The or
ganised plowmen pleaded with
Congress for relief, but were
told that it would not he constitu
tional for government to undertake
to fix the price of cotton or to ad-

Meyers is Indicted for
Killing Mrs. Gibbs.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 25.—Nathan
Meyers, charged with running
down and killing Mrs. W. H.
Gibbs at East Point Saturday
night, was indicted by the Ful
ton grand jury yesterday. Mey
ers drove the machine of John
Kelley, of 18 West Peachtree
street, who was in the car with
a party of friends at the time
Mrs. Gibbs was struck down in
sight of her husband, with whom
she was crossing the street upon
leaving a trolley car. She died
instantly. The state will at
tempt to establish that Meyers
was drinking and that his ma
chine was being driven reckless

Congrest Refused to Help the Cot
ton Growers of the South.
Atlanta. Qa., Oct. 11, 1916.
Mr. Roger A. Dewar,
Atlanta, Georgia.
You remember and every cotton
grower In Georgia and other cotton
growing states remembers our sit
uation in the fall of 1914, when
cotton prioes shot to the bottom.
You remember the meetings and
conferences held in Maoon, Atlan
ta and other cities, and the earnest
appeals that went up to Washing
ton for help to relieve our situa
tion.
Did we get its Not enough to
notice, although they did hold us
in suspense a while before they let
us drop. It didn't take them very
long, however, after a few million
bales had passed out of the hands
of the growers at 130.00 Der bale
or thereabouts, to rig up a Marine
Insurance business that Insured
that same cotton for cotton brok
ers on a basis of $60.00 to $70.00
per bale.
Knowing all these things, and
they are absolutely indisputable
facts. If I were Mr. Wilson. I would
not have the nerve to look a cotton
grower in the face and ask him to
vote for mo. 8o long as we are
slaves to any political party we get
nothing and the very beet thing
that could happen to the Stave of
Georgia and other Southern States
would be for them to be Just as un
certain as to their vote in Presi
dential election as Indiana or New
York. Very truly youre,

Fight San Jose Scale
With Lime-Sulphur
T. H. McHatton, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College Os Agriculture.
Perhaps the most Important spray
in the orchard should be applied dur
ing the fall, especially is this true
where trees are badly infested with
scale.
The spray should be put on the
trees after the heavy frosts have de
foliated them. The material to use
Is the concentrated lime-sulphur wash.
It Is made as follows: Make 80 pounds
of flowers of sulphur, or ground up
sulphur, Into a paste with water ;
put 40 pounds of the best quick lime
into a boiler and slake; add the sul
phur paste and fifty gallons of wa
ter and boll for sixty minutes, re
place the water boiled away and there
will be fifty gallons of concentrated
lime-sulphur In band.
If one has a hydrometer, test the
concentrate and dilute until the hy
drometer shows a specific gravity of
1.03 to 1.04 or a reading of from 4
to 6 degrees Be&ume. If one has
no hydrometer dilute the home made
lime-sulphur by using one gallon of
the concentrate to 6 or 7 gallons of
water.
Apply to the trees after all the
leaves have fallen, during late No
vember or early December. Where
the scale is serious this Is a most
important spraying.
Kill the Weevils
In Stored Grain
John R. Pain, Prof. Agronomy, Ga.
Btate College Os Agriculture.
In the southern part of Georgia es
pecially, the grain weevil will do great
damage to stored grain. Seed grain
especially requires protection. The
grain should be treated with carbon
bisulphide. One pound of the liquid
put in a cup on top of the grain will
treat one ton of grain. The fumes
from the carbon-bisulphide being heav
ier than air sink down through the
pile of grain and destroy the weevils.
The grain should be In a tight bin,
barrels or other receptacles that can
be closed tightly. Until the treatment
Is complete, no one should approach
the treated grain with a light, burn
ing pipe or fire In any form. The gas
produced Is highly explosive.
Two Insects cause the weevil dam
age, the granery weevil and the an
goumols moth. To be on the safe side
it would be well to treat grain imme
diately nfter storing and again in the
latter part of winter. Corn taken from
stalks that have been stripped of their
fodder is infested with weevils worse
than corn not stripped because the
fodder-stripped corn has a tendency
to open its husks and let the insects in.
If a community desires to buy car
bon-bisulphide cheaply the College of
Agriculture can provide information as
to how to save money.
Some Farm Saving Hints
L. C. HART, Prof. Agr. Engineering,
Ga. State College Os Agri.
Georgia farmers waste needlessly a
great deal of their Investment in farm
machinery by failure to properly store
and take care of It when through with
it in the field Collect the farm ma
chinery In the tool shed. If there is
no tool shed the Department of Agri
cultural Engineering of the College of
Agriculture will furnish plans and a
bill of materials for one free.
Clean the machinery thoroughly and
cover all bright parts with a heavy
oil. Clean out oil holes and plug
them with wood or waste.
Put on Paint. Nothing adds to the
appearance of a farmstead as much
as paint and whitewash. The selling
price Is added to very greatly. The
structures are preserved and their an
nual depreciation decreased. A full
set of formulas and advice as to the
application of paints and white washes
will be sent to all farmers of the
state upon application to the Depart
ment of Agricultural Engineering of
the College.
Convenient Farm Buildings. An
enormous loss of time results from
poorly designed arrangements for feed
ing livestock on the farm. The build
ings have not been designed with lit
tle thought of labor saving. The Agri
cultural Engineering Department of
the College of Agriculture can pro
vide sets of plans for farm buildings
which will mean much saving of time
over old barn methods.
Agricultural Short Course
And the 801 l Weevil
This year, as never before, the Geor
gia farmer should consider taking a
short course in agriculture at the
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
In no other way can a farmer get so
much of what he needs In changing his
farm practices. The College is a
storehouse of information and the Col
lege farm a convincing example of
what the information really is. The j
short courses at ihe College this year
will begin January 3. 1917, and last
ten days. Complete announcement
will be made in a bulletin, which can
be obtained by writing to the College
of Agriculture at Athena.
