Tile Figlit With
Hag Cholera
I? ■ ■
1‘or l lie pnst seven- weeks hog
cholera has been raging in many
sections of Grady county. In soc-
tiejns where we fought last year we,
hiiye had very little this year,
waicli shows beyond dispute that
hog cholera can he controlled.
I do n it believe this will ever be
done, but if farmers would shut up
-their sick hogs and keep them off
the open range the spread of dis
ease would not ho so great. Thore
is a law which compels the owners
or persons in charge of dive stock
to bury or burn all o uvussas of
doul animals. T.ais law has never
bean enforced. Perhaps there are
some people who do not know there
is such a law, therefore, \ve feel it
our duty to call attentioiVto it.
If sve expect to grow live stock
at a profit in Grady county we
must have cooperation oh the part
of our farmers in fighting - dise ases.
Live stock must have attention if
they thrive. Worms am
off of them and stomach parishes
out of them; provide good green
pastures and plenty of fresh water
and the disease of swine will he
reduced 75 per cent-
The price of beef goes tip nnd
up. Why not raiso some cattle to
reduce the commercial fertilizer
bill and put some money in our
pockets? • Eradicate the cattle
tick nnd we have very little to
fear from the disease of cattle in
South Georgia. Saturday, Oct. 7,
is the next meeting of the Grady j
County Live Stock Association.
Gome and join in with us and help
fight the boll weevil.
The Gotten Crop of 1916
parishes are the worst enemies we
The cotton crop of 101G will be
away below the average, although
thi farmers tried with all their
might to make a bumper crop
throughout the cotton belt. If the
hand of Providence had not inter
furred by sending floods nnd othe
disasters, wo would have had
the, greatest cotton yield in the
history of this .section
The farmers of the South should
stomach learn an object lesson from the
havo to the hog. Keep the
worms out of thorn and hog chol
era will not he so prevalent. A
few drops of spirits of turpentine
once a week is a good worm de
stroyer. Hogs should not ho al
lowed to graze on one pasture too
long as these pastures become in-
feslcd with worms. Keep the lice
year 1016. With the low yield the
farmers will realize more money
from this year’s crop of cotton
than any crop of cotton grown
perhaps since the civil war. Will
the cotton farmers never learn tho
lesson o f supply nnd demand?
Will they never learn that a twelve
million halo crop of cotton brings
into the hands of the produce

more cash money than a sixteen
million bale crop? Then why not
plant a part of that cotton field to
oats, another part to cane, nnothei
to other food crops and make cot
ton a surplus crop and bo an inde
pgndent farmer. There is oik
thing certain, we must cut cottoi
acreage in Grady county next
year. If we don’t Mrs. Roll Wee
vil will cut the yield; so brothr
farmer plant some of that next
ygar’s cotton crop to oats to feed
| the work stock on and graze the
pigs and ealyps on through wintci
This year’s crop will soon b e
gathered, so don’t fail to buy youi
seed oats before you spend all the
money, if you have not saved
them. You should buy early
the demand will be great for oat
seed. Then again, if you are going
to make cot ton next year got ready
to destroy all the cotton stalks a:
soon as this crop is picked out,
•persuade your neighbor to do the
same for the sooner you destroy
the food supply of the boll weevil
the fewer weevils you will have- to
come out next year and set up his
abqde in your cotton patch.
This is very important and
every farmer throughout the coun
try should see to it that his neigh
bors all cooperate in (he destruc
tion of cotton stalks. If wo can
secure united effort in this fight
against this pest we will never ex
perience any great loss from the
boll weevil.
Last fall I made a campaign of
the ctounty to get the farmers to
destroy their cotton stalks. , A few
plowed them under; the grcatei-
part of them stood till winter and
now the weevil is. in every cotton
field in Grady county. We need to
he up and doing if we expect to
make 15c cotton next year. De
stroy your stalks in September if
possible, i
