WORTHY OF THE HONOR.
In th selection of Judge Walter F. George of
Vienna for the unexpired term of Senator Watson,
we believe the pe< pie of the state have made a
wise selection and that Judge George will prove
worthy of the high honor which has been bestowed
upon him.
What at the beginning of the race appeared to
be a mad scramble with a big field, with a run-off
primary almost certain, narrowed down with with
drawals of different candidates until only four can
didates remained in the race at the finish, and with
two of these developing little strength, the contest
was between Judge George and Governor Hardwick.
We are glad that this honor has come to a
South Georgian, for this section was entitled to the
office, and we are glad that Judge George has been
selected. Governor Hardwick has been greatly
honored by the peopl-c of the state, serving as rep-1
jesentative from the Tenth District for a number I
oi years, then as senator, followed by a term as
governor, and the voters of the state felt that it
was time for new timber to be sent to the Senate.
In his views on international affairs Judge George
is broader arid iiiufe liberal than Governor Hard
wick and while he is opposed to the League of Na
tions, his views are nearer in accord with the plat
form of the Democratic party than those of Gov
ernor Hardwick.
Much of the tragedy and suffering which the
nations of Europe have undergone since the close
of the war and much of tile business depression in
America could have been averted if the United
States had taken its place in the councils of the
allies. America must take her place as a leader
of the nations of the world and must sit at the
council tables if we are to serve humanity and the
cause of civilization as we belive the paths of des
tiny call us. In Senators Harris and George the
Democratic party is going to he ably represented,
and the Democratic platform will he faithfully fol
lowed .

A VISIT TO SOUTH GEORGIA.
Ye editor enjoyed a trip to \ idalia and Toombs
county, down in South Georgia, last week. We
found that section in much better shape than it has
been in since the depression Hit it. While the hofl
weevil was rather destructive this year, yet the peo
ple have plenty of food crops and they have made
no new debts. They are making about half a crop
of cotton and the good price they are receiving for
this crop is putting them in fairly good shape. And
what is better still, the people have stopped grumb
ling, gone to work in dead earnest and mean to pull
out of the ditch. They arc arranging for another
vear with a hopeful spirit, and we believe they will
win out. —Winder News.

CALCIUM ARSENATE PAYS.
Under the direction of the Extension Division
of the Georgia State College of Agriculture, 164
demonstrations in the use of calcium arsenate in
' controlling the boll weevil, were carried out ac
cording to directions this year.
In these tests, every common variety of cotton
was grown, though the majority of farmers grew
Cleveland Big 801 l and College No. 1. The soils
varied, practically every type found in the cotton
growing sections being included.
Cotton was planted on most of the test farms
in April, though some was as late as May 15th. 'I he
’ majority of farmers used about 300 pounds per
acre of 9-3-3 fertilizer. Dusting with calcium
arsenate was begun when the squares were begin
t „ing to form. All types of dusting machines were
used from the small hand guns to the three-row
[ power traction duster, though the small machines
_ w pounds
1 of calcium arsenate per acre was used. From three
to six pounds per acre were used in each application
> at intervals of four to ten days, depending on the
f weather conditions.
The majority of tests show an increase ot /a
tier cent from the use of calcium arsenate, though
' some reported increases of from 200 to 500 per cent.
1 Only five farms showed less than 50 per cent m
crease, and three reported no gain, which was at
. tributable to adverse weather conditions. Only two
farms reported a yield of less than one-half bale per
acre, and some reported as high as one and one-half
bales per acre. The majority reported yields of
750 to 1000 pounds of seed cotton per acre.
Tt is the unanimous opinion of the farmers
making these tests that cotton can be raised suc-
I cessfully in spite of the weevil if calcium arsenate
lis used according to instructions, .; U

A SPLENDID FAIR.
If you have not yet visited the Toombs Count\
Fair, which is in progress at Lyons this week, you
certainly should pay a visit to the fair during the
two days of the week that yet remain.
Those who have kept up with former fairs are
frank to say that this year’s fair is the best that
Toombs County has ever held. The exhibits in all
departments are good, the community departments (
showing a fine spirti of co-operation on the part ot
a number of communities of the county. You can- (
not attend the fair without feeling that this section
of the state is making Splendid progress in diver- (
situation and is fast getting its agriculture on a ]
firm and progressive basis. ,

A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT J
SHOULD NOT BE RATIFIED.
We carry in our advertising columns this week
an advertisement prepared and paid for by citizens
of Macon and Houston counties protesting against
the action of the legislature in creating Peach conn- ,
tv and asking the people of the state to vote against
this constitutional amendment in the general elec
tion In November. ;
We believe that the people of the state ought
to go on record against the further creation of new
counties. Back in the old days when good roads
and bridges were practically unknown, there may
have been some excuse for the creation of a large
number of new counties. But in this era of good
roads, when the automobile lias annihilated instance,
there is no excuse for the creation of new counties
except the ambition of some live town to he a
county seat, and this is not sufficient justification
for the doubling and trebling of expenses which
are put upon the taxpayers by the creation of new
counties. Georgia already has more counties than
any state in the union except Texas, which is five
times the size of Georgia, and we believe the time
has come when the people should stop this generos
itv toward ambitious towns on the part of an easily
persuaded legislature.

EVERY FARMER SHOULD
HAVE PERMANENT PASTURE
Utilize more of your idle lands by
planting a permanent pasture.
With a large part of our farmers
going into the dairy business it goes
to prove that we are well on the road
to normalcy.
The dairy business along with our
other farming operations is a profita
ble game. There is one very essential
fact nesessary to success in dairying,
and thati s to GROW YOUR OWN
FEED. The first question to arise in
speaking of growing of feed for the
dairy cattle is HAVE, YOU A PER
MANENT PASTURE?
When we speak of planting a per
manent pasture we do not mean for
you to sow your corn fields and your
cotton lands to grasses, but utilize
your lower lands, the creek bottoms,
the land that is not producing you
anything, by planting a pasture that
can be grazed on yery nearly all the
year by your hogs and cattle.
Sow these lands in the late winter
and early spring in a mixture of 4 to
6 lbs of carpet grass, 4 to 6 pounds
of Dallas grass and 10 lbs. of lespe
deza or Japan clover. This mixture
will furnish you with ideal grazing
for your hogs and cattle. After these
grasses have reached the grazing stage
close graning is very advisable.
