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 . x 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. { > li < > i > «> i ► • Condensed Statement; as of Sept. 25, 1922 n ■ > j I* * •> :: ■ ■ ■ ■— ■ :: i > «■ ii * * <. 4> \ I' O ! ; RESOURCES: LIABILITIES: J’ j ii <• | ] | Loans and discounts $435,421.69 Capital stork $ 35,000.00 *j | | Overdrafts 391.03 Surplus fund 22,500 00 «j U.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR 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. , am 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.

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. F. M. CONNER, Development Agent S. A. L.
