THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR MT. VERNON HAS NEW PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER Rev. W. C. Copeland of Columbia, S. C., has assumed the pastorate of; the Mt. Vernon group of Presbyte rian churches for the summer.

BUYING WEEVILS FROM TENANTS FOR CASH In the office of Dr. R. J. Kennedy, county commissioner, last week we noticed a small tin box in which there reposed something having the appearance of green tea one buys from the grocery store. The doctor explained that the content was dead boll weevils he had bought from the farmers on his place near Clito. As compared with dry tea, the package appeared to weigh about one-fourth of a pound. Dr. Kennedy stated that there were 1,700 dead weevils in the lot, and that they cost him $8.50 in cash. He explained that he had made a standing offer of one-half cent each for dead weevils brought in by his tenants, aqd that the plan was satisfactory and economical. These 1,700 weevils had been captured on one of his farms, and was the re sult of several days careful work by the children of his tenant. He be lieved the price was very reasonable and far more efficacious than an equal sum spent for boll weevil medi cine of any kjnd. On another of his farms almost adjoining, he said less than two dozen weevils bad been captured. Dr. Kennedy wishes it understood that he is not offering half a cent each for all weevils brough him. He is buying only those raised on his farm, and be hopes to buy only a few of them: the fewer the better.

I BEDDING DISEASED SWEET POTATOES Where black rot attacks sweet po i tatoes in storage it produces com paratively small sunken black spots, which appear inoffensive to the in experienced man preparing potatoes for bedding. When a nice potato with a small spot is found he is inclined to cut the spot out and put the pota to in the bed. Often, too, very small spots were cut out and the sound enced men. • To determine the results that may he expected in such cases, an experi ment has been conducted at the Geor gia Experiment Station in which only rotted potatoes were bedded. The po tatoes were divided Into four lots. In lot 1 the spots were cut out, and the sound part of the potato was then soaked ten miutes in corrosive sub limate solution (1 tz. to 8 gallons of water), and bedded. In lot 2 the spots were coat out and the sound portion bedded at once without treat ment. In Lot 3 the spotted potatoes were soaked ten minutes In the cor rosive sublimate solution, and then bedded. In Lot 4 they were bedded without any previous treatment The danger from using such pota toes for bedding, lies in the fact that the fungus which produces black rot also attacks the roots and stems of the young sprouts and is carried to the field, where it not only damages this season's crop but also infests the soil and remains there in the soil for years to come. Recently the Slips were pulled from this experimental bed and the number of clean and of diseased slpis from each lot was counted. Lot 1 produc ed 557 slips of which 32 or 6.4 per cent were diseased. Lot 2 produced 358 slips of which 191 or 53.3 per cent were diseased. Lot 3 produced 407 slips of which 72 or 17.7 per cent ware diseased. Lot 4 produced 472 slips of which 195 or 41.3 per cent were diseased. It will he seen that treatment with corrosive sublimate solution greatly reduced the amount of disease, and cutting out the spots before treatment again reduced the disease more than half; lmt at best some slips were dis eased in all cases. It does not seem practicable to produce clean plants from diseased seed potatoes, which emphasizes former recommendations that all potatoes showing the small spot be discarded from bedding stock. B.

ATLANTA, Ga., —That there is an alarming increase in crime through out the country is so obvious that no asseveration or argument is necessary to obtain an admission of the fact, ac cording to law enforcement advocates in Atlanta. This increase in crime is largely, if not wholly, the inevit able outgrowth of a prevalent indif ference on the part of the people at large toward small infractions of the law, these advocates assert. Violations of the law in small things and evasions of the letter and spirit of the law on the part of well-mean ing citizens who consider themselves above the average in the matter of' respect for the law too often encour age the vicious and lawless element j of society to venture into the com mission of crime; for it is but a short step from a slight evasion of law to open violation of the law, it is declar ed. It is admitted in Atlanta that the Georgia League for the Enforcement of the Law through the Constituted Authorities, composed of leading citi zens of the state, has accomplished great good in building up a better sen timent f#r law and order. In more than a score of counties already— though the movement was started on ly a few weeks ago, ilaw enforcement leagues have been formed with large and enthusiastic memberships. Respect For AJI Laws Attention is not given to prohibi tion violations, as was first supposed. This, it is vointed out, is merely Inci dental. Its enegies are directed to ward respeot for the law in general, and the members seek the betterment of conditions in general, and infract ions of existing laws of every kind are condemned. According to members of the law enforecement leagues what seems to be needed now to bring about more S lyvewyre liquid charge I i Saves Time and Money; also your Battery. $ I Ten Minutes Against Two Days.

They point out that so long as small infractions of the written law of the land are winked at by lany con siderable number of the people of a given community, there wll be those who will venture into open violations. Under such conditions, they contend, it becomes difficult to enfroce the law, and crime soon becomes rampant. “It is the duty of every parent and good citizen to teach due regard for the law in the home”, declared a prom inent member of the Law Enforce ment League here today." The habit of obeying the law is onp which should be cultivated not only in the family but in he community at large and not until those who fail duly to res pect the law are made to feel that they are under the ban of good society, can we hope to make any material progress in the way of suppressing the , wave of crime which seems to bo sweeping over the country.” PORTO RICO POTATO PLANTS I am prepared to supply the public with Porto Rico Potato Plants at tli« following prices: 1,000 $1.50; 5,000 $1.25 per thousand; 10,000 at SI.OO per thousand f. o. b.
