PICK A SOUTH GEORGIAN.
The state executive committee has called a state
wide primar) to nominate a candidate for state
pension commissioner and for United States senator
to fill the unexpired term of Senator Watson. This
primary is to be held on Tuesday, October 17th,
with a run-over primary Otcober 24th, if no candi
date in the first primary receives a majority of the
votes cast, which hardly seems likely with a large
number of candidates in the field.
The position of United States senator is one of
tfie biggest gifts in the hands of the people of the
state. It is a place of great responsibility and
great opportunities for service to the people of the
state. We hope to set* a big, clean, brainy, able
Georgian selected for this office. Georgia has the
material if we can get them to offer for the posi
tion.
Other things being equal, we would like to see the
people of South Georgia unite on one of their own
sons. The senior senator of the state, Senator W.
J. Harris, comes from the northern section of the
state, and the man who succeeds Senator Watson
should come from the southern section. South
Georgia is clearly entitled to the honor of filling
this office, and if South Georgians will vote to
gether they can easily name Senator Watson’s
successor.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION
With the farmers in this section planning to put
in a good acreage in cotton, next year, fully believ
ing that they can successfully combat the boll
weevil, the advice of the agricultural authorities to
destroy cotton stalks early ought to be followed
religiously. From a bulletin issued by C. A.
Whittle,, we quote the following:
“Weevils can not feed on dead cotton stalks.
When their food is destroyed they migrate to
where they can feed or Vise go into winter quar
ters. Whether they are thus driven away
front your farm or driven into winter quarters
the probalities of their damaging you any next
season are greatly reduced.
“Over most of the cotton belt it is possible
to gather the’eotton early enough to permit of
the destruction of the cotton stalks three or four
weeks before a killing frost will destroy them.
Three to four weeks earlier in going into winter
quarters means that death of weeeils from star
vation and eold will he greatly increased.
“It is the last weevils that go into winter
quarters that cause damage in the cotton crop
the next venr. Ts all of these were starved
out by destroying cotton stalks early there
would , of course, be an end of the weevil.
While one can not expect that cotton will ever
be destroyed early and completely enough to
accomplish a complete eradication of the wee
vil. it is true that to the extent that this is 4<nie
the number of weevils and their damage will
be reduced.
“Don’t burn the cotton stalks. T.et them
lav on t«ho ground. When the ground is plow
ed they can be turned under where they will
decay and add the organic matter which the
soils so much need.
“Why not organize a community-wide, or
countv-wide movement for the early destruc
tion of cotton stalks. Tt means less trouble
from the weevil next year.”

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR
ENCOURAGING PROGRESS .
At the meeting of the Twelfth District Press '
Association in Mt. Vernon last week, Mr. E. E.
Rivers, scout executive for the district, was a guest
at the meeting and made an interesting talk tell
ing of the progress being made by the scout work
in the district.
Mr. Rivers told the newspaper folk that when
this movement was organized in the district the
past spring, there were only two active troops in
the district with 29 members enrolled. Now there
are 19 troops with over 400 boy scouts enrolled and
there were a large number of men in the district
who were giving liberally of their time and effort
to make the scout troops in their home town a suc
that these counties would he brought in to the or
ganization later in the year. During the summer
that these counties would be brought into the orga
nization later in the year. During the summer
a, successful summer camp was held, about one hun
dred boys from over the district attending the camp
There is no finer investment in time and money
that the men of any community can make than to
get heartily and earnestly behind the Boy Scout
. movement. Scouting gets a wonderful grip on
the boy and wherever there is an active.scout troop,
that community will find its hoys buildnig character
with their years.
We are glad that this great movement is •thor
oughly organized ih our district and expect to see.
every year a greater number of scouts enrolled and
the work spread until it reaches every comunity in
the Twelfth District.
♦ MARKETING GEORGIA COTTON”
All who watched the genesis of the Georgia Cot
ton Growers’ Co-operative Marketing Association
months ago, whether with assurance and enthusi
asm or in doubt of its feasibility, will be interetsed
to know' that now it is handling cotton at the rate
of more than a thousand bales a day, with the full
tide yet to come ; that it has advanced upon the sea
son’s receipts thus far approximately a million dol
lars; that its membership numbers fourteen thous
and five hundred farmers, whose aggregate produc
tion of cotton in 1920-1921 amounted to three hun
dred and twenty thousand hales; that it is function
ing with an efficiency w'hich only sound economic
principles and expert business management can
secure; that it has won the confidence of financial
leaders as well as of its own rank and file; that it
stands today “the greatest co-operative enterprise
in the history of the State,” and bids fair to become
a permanent, far-rgrtging power for the common
good. ’
'Phe quoted phrase is from a highly interesting
sketch, of what the Association is doing and of
how it operates. Even casual readers w,ill he im
pressed by the fact that the technical work, such as
grading, pooling and selling, is in the hands of spec
ialists of South-wide and. in some instances, world
wide repute. It will be noted, too, that of the
Association’s hoard of directors, numbering around
a score, all are farmers of distinguished success,
thirteen are presidents or directors of banks, and
the others experienced men of business. Thus
supported by the agricultural sinew of the com
monwealth and governed hv skilled hands of pru
dent heads, the \ssociation naturally has found the
centers of constructive finance ready to aid its
✓undertakings. A work that means vastly for
Georgia, both in economic progress and in human
enrichment, has begun excedinglv well. May it
go prosperously forward.—Atlanta Journal.

A SPLENDID MEETING
'l’lie meeting of the Twelfth District Press Asso
ciation at Mt. Veriion last week, the association
being the guest of Editor and Mrs. Eolsom. was
one of the best in point of attendance and interest
that has yet been held. The majority of the pa
pers of the district were represented and the social
feature of the gathering as well as the benefit that
conies from a discussion of newspaper problems
made this gathering well worth while.
The Twelfth District Association seems, to lw\
. well established and we look to see it take rank as
one of the live press associations of the state.

Mr. David I. Bishop, of Summit,
brought us a sugar cane nine feet tall.
Mr. Bishop says this is ot of the very
best he is rasing, but that it is only an
average stalk. He says that he has a
great big patch that will average up
to this stalk, ad we have never had
any cause to doubt Dave’s word, nor
have we ever heard thalt anyone else
hac.', still, this is mighty long cane for
a farmer to have much of at this sea

Loyalty to the local public schools
and warm interest in maintaining the
present high standard of eficiency
and' rating in this institution were
manifest at the meeting last Friday
evening in the court hoitse, when the
board of education, the trustees of
Metter School district and a number
of citizens gathered' to discuss school
needs and to devise means of rais
ing motley to provide for deficiencies
in revenue.
The board’s plan—to pell certifi
cates bearing six per cent interest,
for a five years’ loan, in denomina
tions of SSO to sloo—met with the
endorsement of every speaker, and'
there were a number of these. In
a prepared statement which outlined
the financial status of the school,
Mr. Geo. L. Williams told of the nec
essity of raising at least SIO,OOO to
clear the school of curret indebted
ness and enable the board to set
aside a sinking fund for the retire
ment of outstanding bonds, a shrink
age in tax values having reduced rev-
from this source during the
past two years.
The importance of the school as an
institution of the city and county, its
value in training citizens and its
worth from a monetary standpont in
the enchancement of property values,
were emphasized' by several speak
ers. D. B. B. Jones, chairman of the
