Thursday, October 5, 1922. 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. x 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.” I; Condensed Statement as shown for month Sept. 25.. f ■j i < ► ▼ < ► T < > T «• RESOURCES: LIABILITIES: $ !.

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. X 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.

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.
