Ward, Farm Ddfrionstration Agent Calvary Dot: r;i 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 5 to 1 Year Farm Loans We have recently made some new connections in. the loan business and can give you ns good terms as you will find anywhere.

T. DAVIS, Cashier 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 \\ e a re having solne mighty hot dry weather around Galvan- ihose days.
