Riveting the attention of the beholder on the fact that the Ameri
can Red Cross is chartered by Congress as an official volunteer relief
organization the dome of the Capitol at Washington, upon which is super
imposed a large Red Cross, is the central figure of a new poster for the
Annual Red Cross Roll Call. The poster, which has been pronounced one
of the most striking of innumerable representations of the famous dome,
is the work of Franklin Booth, a New York artist of wide renown. It will
be displayed throughout the country during the Roll Call period, Armistice
Day to Thanksgiving, when the Red Cross membership for 1923 will be
enrolled.
New Method to Check Weevil.
On account of the great im
portance of the recently discover
ed “Improved Method” for con
trolling the cotton boll weevil,
made by the State Plant Board
of Florida, the Seaboard Air
Line, through its Development
Department, feels that it would
be doing a great injustice'if full
information was withheld from
all those farmers growing cotton
along its territory in
the States of Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina
and Virginia.
The fact that it has been found
practical to bring cotton back in
to Florida is very important to
the other states named, because
in Florida the milder winters do
not kill as many boll weevil, and
the heavy rainfall during the
longer summer greatly favors the
pest.
This method of control -shows
conclusively that any farmer,
white or black, need not have no
fear in growing cotton under
boll weevil conditions. This “Im
proved Method” is a radical de
parture from those control meth- 1
ods that have been advocated for
the past twenty years. The or
dinary calcium arsenate method
of treating boll weevil has proven
successful to some extent in the
area served by the Seaboard Air
Line. However, it has not been i
I found adaptable except on land
i that will produce at least a half
| bale of cotton per acre. There-;
fore, the Development Depart
ment of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway feels that it should pre
seat to the farmers it daily serves
: this cheap, and by far the most
efficient, method for controlling
the boll weevil that has yet been
discovered, that farmers
may be better able to support
prosperous homes.
While this method of control
has not been worked out, or
tried, in any other states than
Florida, there at present appears
n) theoretical reason why it
should not be applicable to the
other States. In the light of the
information which is at present
available, the “Improved Meth
od,” adapted to the farms in th<
counties through which the Sea
board Air Line passes, is briefly
this:
Remove all squares, whether
punctured or unpunctured, from
the cotton plants just before the
first bioorn appears in the field.
Follow this at once, or within a
day or two, or before the squares
start growing back, with a thor
ough dusting of each plant with
either calcium arsenate or pow
dered arsenate of lead. This
poison should be applied by
means of a hand dust gun, which
forces the poison into the top
buds of the cotton plant where
the boll weevil feeds when there
are no squares.
Representatives of the Sea
board’s Development Department
have carefully followed and
studied this method in the fields
l as it was being tested out, and
have personally talked with the
farm owners and tenants, white
and black, who have made three
;to twelve times more cotton in
those fields where they used this
“Improved Method” over where
I they did not follow it. In some
I fields there was only a small
; number of weevils, but in other
1 fields there were as many as
1,500 per acre. This “Improved
Method” proved equally effective
under both conditions.
The Development Department
of the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way, at Norfolk, Va., is publish
ing a circular entitled “An Im
proved Method of Controlling
801 l Weevil,” giving full details
regarding this “Improved Meth
od” and the results obtained. A
copy of this circular will be glad
ly sent to any one requesting,,, it.

Hogs From
A Hey Streets.
The Town of Ailey yesterday
took a vote on removal of hogs
and cows from the streets of the
place, and as a result the animals
will no longer be allowed to run
at large within the corporate lim
its of Atlev.
The vote stood 49 against hogs 1
and cows and 23 for a continua- j
tion.
No town can hope to attain a!
j high civic standard as long as
animals run at large on the
streets, and their presence on the
streets is ever a reflection on the
pride of the town. Mt. Vernon
has had such a law for several
years, and it is a success.
Aside from the effects of ani
mals on the streets, from a sani
tary and civic standpoint, it is
quite true that the amount of
damage done to private property
is enormous.
The incorporate limits of Ailey
extend to those of Mt. Vernon,
meeting at a midway point on
the campus of The Brewton-
Parker Institute, and the two'
towns being connected by a broad
highway, it is very agreeable
that both towns should discard
animals on the streets. Condi
tions that effect one town quite
likely to effect the other, and no
doubt this is true of the hog and
cow question, as during the past
year animals from one town were
*Tt)und in the other, and thereby
subjected to the impounding pro
cess and the usual inconveniences
of such action.
Ailey is to be congratulated on
this progressive movement.
Educational Week.
December 3d to 9th.
Dr. M. M. Parks, state schoo'
commissioner, has been sending
out much literature in the inter
est. of American Education Week,
to be observed in Georgia De
cember 3 to 9 inclusive. Subjects
have been assigned for each day,
covering many phases of educa
tional work, and if the program
could be carried out in each
county, no doubt it would be of
benefit to the cause of education.
tv demonstration agent, wonder
ful progress will be made. True,
many of the old-time methods
are good, but it is conceded by
all that modern methods applied
to farming and stock-raising will
bring better results —more mon
ey and more pleasure—than the
uncertain, haphazard methods
employed a generation or more
ago.

MAKE WAR ON
THE RAT PEST
A Growing Interest in Club
Work in Myntgomery
County.
Got any rats you do not need?
In many sections of the state
the rat is more than a pest— he
does an enormous amount of
damage. But taken in any man
| ner, the rat is a nuisance, and no
doubt thousands of dollars worth
iof property are destroyed in this
county alone by Mr. Mus Rattus
and his tribe every year.
It may be impossible to finally
get rid of the rat, but by precau
tion on the part of the farmer or
housenolder, he may be kept from
eating up the earth.
The Extension Department of
the State College of Agriculture
is putting on a campaign to de
stroy the rat in Georgia, and this
begins December 4—a week of
rat fighting. When the week is
out, and anybody finding rats
around the premises may kill
them without license,
Dr. A. G. G. Richardson
State College of Agriculture will
speak at a number of points in
Georgia during rat killing week,
and on the 7th will be at Dublin.
Those interested in the work
would do well to attend this
meeting.
The rat is so common, on?
scarcely thinks of the rapidity
with which they multiply, and
the amount of damage they do.
Enough about rats.
County Agent Tyre is actively
visiting the schools of the coun
ty and is interesting the boys
tnd girls in club work. The
membership of the county club,
t>oth boys and girls, according to
the phase of the work in which
they may be interested, now
numbers several hundred. Tie
result of their work will beshown
in a county fair to be held in
Montgomery county during the
fall of next year.
To date the Tarrytown school
has furnished a greater number
of members than any other school
in the county, and this communi
ty will be able to make a fine
showing.
Education along the agricultu
ral and live stock lines will pro
duce results in this county not to
be obtained in any other line.
But few of the boys and girls
can attend the agricultural col
leges, even if their tastes run in
this channel, but through the
club work, advised by the coun-
