*J. 8. BUREAU OF AGRICULTURAL
ECONOMIES SAYS PROSPECT
Tills YEAR IS POORER TRAM IN
ANY STATE EXCEPT SOUTH CAR
OLINA.
ATLANTA, (Ta.—The cotton pros
pect in Georgia Is poorer than in any
state according to the correspondents
of the United States Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics, though the ad
joining state of South Carolina ip in
much the same situation. The con
tinuous rains during the early
part of June prevented cultivation,
Induced growth of grass, and leach
ed out much of the fertiliser. Before
the farmers were üble to get the fields
clean the weevils were found In such
large number that many farmers
gave up the battle and turner.' to other
crops. This proportion was large
enough to he the decisive factor in
making the (Teorgia acreage less
than last year.
Georgia Acreage 4,1211,000
While nil other states show a re
turn to normal acreage of cotton,
Georgia and South Carolina show re
ductions, principally on account of
the boll weevil. The destruction
wrought last year was disastrous. In
Georgia the central and most Import
ant cotton distrldt was practically
wlpeO out. In 1922 the aumber of
weevils present early in the reason
Indicated a probable repetition if cot
ton were planted. The growers "aeed
ed down" their plantations, put them
In corn, or allowed them to lie idle.
South Georgia Increases Acreage
South Georgia on the other hand*
has become accustomed to the weevil
and learned to fight him. The result
is that more cotton hap been planted
In that section than In five or six
years. The net Increase there is
about fifteen per cent.
North (lerogia, with the exception
of a few mountain counties, shows
decrease. Here tho planting was
limited by rain and soil conditions.
The Georgia cotton crop will be be
low any In the last twenty years with
the possible exception of last season.
Weevil infestation Is heavy anc' dain

GEORGIA GOOD ROADS
ASSOCIATION
ATLANTA. Ga.,—The conference of
the highway committees of the Geor
gia Senate and House of Representa
tives, when they heard arguments by
representatives of the Georgia Good
Roads Association in favor of a bond
issue, hap been followed by the gen
‘ erally expressed opinion of the legis
lators that a bond issue of some size
will certainly he voted by the gener
al assembly and laid before the voters
• at the November election. Just what
i amount will he decided upon is still
in doubt, but it Is agreed that any
. amount Which will enable the state
to match the federal fund and give
Georgia a real start in stale highway
building will be a long step forward.
“We feel convinced that once the
people of Georgia begin to get sam
ples' of real roads in their counties,
they will not lie satisfied until other
good roads are built”, said one of the
bond advocates. "And when the first
bond issue proves that it will pay for
itself without additional taxation,
|
other will follow.”
When the bond issue amendments
are adopter.' the Georgia Good Roads
Association will carry on a campaign
of education throughout the state to
prove to the voters that permanent
roads will he bull by bonds without
additional cost to tax payers, the gas
oline taxes and motor license fees
meeting the bills. The Association
expects the expenses of this campaign
to be shared by the thousands of men
and women who have the good roads
cause at heart and Invite all such
persons to join the Association and
add their five dollars annual member
ship fee to this campaign fund. Mem
bership applications with checks may
he sent, to William E. Keith, Secre
tary, No. 205 Walton Building, Atlan
ta. A large and representative mem
bership will not only provide a suffi
cient fund, hut add a tremedous In
flence in favor of the passage of the
bond amendments in the November
election.

■ development of the Georgia Railway
.' j & I-ower Company, from 800 to 1,000
1 laborers needed for this work will j
fine a magic town awaiting for their
occupancy until the work is complet
i ed.
The town is buit in a veritable wil
, derness, but 'it has everything but
. paved streets that city civilization
boasts, and in addition there is the I
cooil, stimulating mountain air, the j
: j breezes that blow througti the hills
through the summer, and the most
picturesque secenry that the South .
can claim.
The labor employed at the Tugalo
Development will be largerly negro ■
anc' the town built for the negro lab- J
orers is declared to be a model of
sanitation, comfort and convenience, j
Broad streets mark the settlement,!
which is located on the crest of a hfli j
overlooking the rushing Tugalo, and j
gradually sloping down to the scene j
1 of the work. On either side of the
street are the cottages for the labor
ers. They are of several adzes. There
1 are the smajl'l habitations for the j
bachelors and there are larger ones
for the workmen who bring their
families along. The bringing of fam
j ilies is encouraged by the Company
! in order that the laborer will be per
manetly satisfied.
Each house is electric lighted, as j
are the streets. Provisions are made j
so that each family can Co its own
cooking, but in addition to that there |
are two mess halls operated under
■ Company supervision In the town. In
i these mess halls the laborers are
bountifully fed for 29 cents a meal,
and despite the appetites engendered'
by the work and the mountain air,
those on the job say there is always
plenty.
In order to make conditions as near
ly like city conditions as possible,
there is a movie show operated each ;
night for the workers anc.' during the j
off hours there is splendid opportun
ity for Dishing with an ideal trout!
stream within stepping distance of the
town.
A feature of the town is the store
! operated by the Company, where the
workmen may obtain any of the city
luxuries from a bottle of sodapap to
a gallon of gasoline for their automo
biles, that is if any of the laborers
have automobiles.
Tho Company keeps a physician on
j duty at the town all the time, nor is
J the religious life overlooked. Church
| services are held regularly in the
i movie house, while there are frequent
| camp meetings on the banks of the
river.
Each house is mac'.'e of dressed lum
ber, sawed at the Company’s own mill
from timbers right at hand. The I
houses are furnished and are given J
the laborers free of charge. The
Company also gives the illumination.
Tt is expected that the concrete
pouring will begin about July 15th.

SENT DIRECT FROM JUPITER
Ancient Peoples Had Odd Belief Con
cerning Otherwise UnaccounV
able Shower of Froga.
Showers of frogs must have b»tn
common enough in ancient Greeca,
seeing that Aristotle gives them a par
ticular name. Alluding to the pre
vailing idea of his time, which sup
posed them to come from Heaven, he
called them messengers of Jupiter.
Two carefully observed instances in
modern times have especially wrought
conviction among the learned.
The first was attested by a whole
compuny of soldiers, who during the
French Revolution, were on a march
towards the north of France. In the
open country they were assailed by
a shower of little toads which were
I dashed In their faces, falling with
torrents of water. Astonished at such
an unwonted attack, and desirous of
satisfying themselves as to whether
this living shower came from above,
the soldiers spread out their handker
; chiefs on a level with their heads,
and found they were soon covered.
After the storm, the astonishment
was general when the soldiers saw
this unexpected brood leaping about in
the folds of their cocked lists.
The second well-attested shower of
toads fell In 1834, In the town of Ham,
in Germany, when the streets, roofs
and gutters were Immediately filled
with a great number of these young
creatures.
HAD HIGHEST SOCIAL IDEAS
Marriage Relations Among Early As
syrians Subjected to the Strictest
Code of Human Laws.
Marriage relations among the early
Assyrians were subject to a strict code
of laws, it Is now learned from a val
uable cultural document made ac
cessible to the scientific world In a
German translation of the cuneiform
text preserved In the Asiatic division
of the Berlin Ethnographical museum.
The early Assyrian lawmakers had
this code inscribed on a set of clay
tablets,, unearthed during the excava
tions of the German Asiatic society in
Mesopotamia. By comparing this find
with other prehistoric documents, the
I date of these tablets has been estab-
I lished around 1100 B. C„ which would
j coincide with the reign of Tiglat-Pile
! sa rI.
The rights and duties of married
women and the punishments imposed
for the infringements of these laws,
and as the marital relations of a na
tion have always been regarded as a
reliable barometer of its culture, this
discovery throws an interesting light
upon early Assyrian social conditions.
Fuses Prevent Fires.
When nu electric current flows
througli a wire it makes the wire
warm, explains Popular Science. Dif
ferent materials resist the flow to dif
ferent extents and are accordingly
heated to different degrees. Fuse wire
is made of an alloy containing a large
proportion of lead, which gets very
warm when large currents pass
through it. Furthermore, since this
| alloy melts easily, the current, if large
J enough, may cause the fuse wire to
melt.
Wherever current Is being consumed
in the house or factory, a piece of fuss
wire is put somewhere in the circuit.
If through accident or design too much
current should be used, the fuse wire
will melt, or, ns is usually described
"blow,” and stop the flow of current
before the copper wire inside the walli
can heat up and set tire to the house.
The Telescope.
Tradition bus it that about the be
ginning of the Seventeenth century ont
Jansen, a spectacle maker of Middle
burg, Holland, constructed a telescop*
about 16 inches in length, which he ex
hlbited to Prince Maurice and the
Archduke Albert, who, appreciating the
importance of the discovery, paid him
h sum of money to keep it concealed
Another spectacle maker, Lipi>ersliej
made application in 1608 to the states
general for a patent for a telescope
as also did Metius, a professor of math
ematics, but in the former Instance, at
least, it was refused, as the apparatus
was already known. It seems certain
that the instrument was known mors
or less about Europe, but the honor ol
its invention usually is given to Galileo,
who was the first to describe the In
strument and exhibit it In complets
form In May. 1609.
Instinct of Prairie Dogs.
Prairie dogs seem to have some
kind of foreknowledge of the weath
er, If observers at the New York Zoo
logical park are right. Now and then
the large members of the colony looseu
the earth round their mouims with
their forefeet, then shovel the soil up
ward with thtir hind feet. Other
members work inside the burrow,
throwing out earth to aid in the build
ing. When a dyke has been built, the
animals temp the earth down with
their heads —an amusing sight. As
these operations Invariably take place
before a storm, the obvious purpose is:
to build a dam that will keep the wa
ter from running into the burrow.
No Standard of Weight.
The bureau of ruilway economics
say* there is no standard for the'
weight of a railroad rail. This depends j
entirely on the traffic the particular i
road Is handling. Usually rails are!
not measured by th-’ foot, but by the
vara. Formerly railroads used the,
80-pound rail per yard, but now most
roads use the 100-poui 1 rail. The Mr-

Springfield Mo. —‘‘My back was so
weak I could hardly stand up, an(l I
would have bearing-down pains and
was not well at any time,” says Mrs.
D. V. Williams, wife of a well-known
farmer on Route 6, this place. “I
kept getting headaches and having to
go to bed,” continues Mrs. Williams
describing the troubles from which
she obtained relief through the use of
Cardui. “My husband, having heard
of Cardui, proposed getting it for me.
“I saw after taking some Cardui
~ . that I was improving. The result
was surprising. I felt like a different
person.
“Later I suffered from weakness
and weak back, and felt all run-down.
I did not rest well at night, I was so
nervous and cross. My husband said
he would get me some Cardui, which
he did. It strengthened me ... My
doctor said I got along fine. I was In
good healthy condition. I cannot
say too much for it.”
Thousands of women have suffered
as Mrs. Williams describes, until they
found relief from the use of Cardui.
Since It has helped bo many, you
