Ethridge) Just 11 ck ficm an ui| hi we. !• trip, a good portion of which w, spent in the boll.weevil, or <otti planting, ri litn of the coimliv. Cook Clayton, fieri: of the I'niled St.n -di-tiict court, can new |.< a .1 authority on the sul-jui- and not without justification. Mr. Clayton, being a fanner hin.- self, and naturally interested in :. subject which Georgia fanners are vitally i fleeted by, entered field.- of •otton in the Mississippi delta •vhieh ran higher than the' top h his m: chine, and found boll wievi; young, boll wco\ il old, and about to I e la,11 v.iv\il—in i lia: word-, I o saw il at well:. s.;\v it a! play, if Iioll weevil do such. Ami now Il.e chief topic of Mr. Ch y ton’s conversation is the I cl weevil. ilis (lip, made in an automobile' with hi v.ife and two children, nr companicd by Seymour Byrom, ol Byion.ville, his wife and family, led him first through the rollon belt of the union, in which he crossed Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico’and Colorado on the outgoing trip, lie crowed the Mississ ppi river at Vi kshurg, making the trip west, an 1 returning he crossed at Ilele: a Ark., after having traversed on his way back from Colorado, the stabs of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkan sas. In Heart of the Delta On his return, Mr. Clayton stop ped at Mintcr City, Miss., in the heart of the Mississippi delta, the largest cotton producing center in |l the world, with the exception of he Nile valley, being the guest o! I. Ford Rodgers, a former Macon man who.nas been in the delta foi dmost thirty years. Mr. Rodger, is one of Mississippi’s largest plan ters cultivating approximately 1,000 acres. lie hrs had the boll weevil will: him for several years, Mr. Clayton dated, hut raises as line cotton ns is produced in the south undci cultivation. “IIow docs he do it?” I asked Air. Clayton. “Wny,” said that gentleman, “by planting early and by fast cul tivation, which matures his crops about August I. The boll weevil rarely begins work by tins time; his habits arc regular. I saw thousands of acres worked the same way that would produce from three-quarters of a bale to a hale an acre. If our Georgia farme will get up early and stay lute- from March to August—they' will succeed in making fine crops of cotton, if the weather permit; despite the weevil. The Answer is Easy “How do the farmers make big crops in spite of the weevil? Why, that’s an easy question. Let each farmer keep a double supply of seed, planting in March, the first lot. If the frost gets these, replant at once. Work the crops fast and the bolls will mature by August The weevil never touches a boll that is about to pop. “I noticed one-filing that sur prised me. Mr. Rodgers produced a staple that is about twice the length of our Georgia cotton, for which lie is getting 21 cents a pound, as against our 10 cents, the production being about the same the best Georgia lands give. Large quantities of this staple is found in Mississippi, in the same latitude us Macon. Some of this cotton was successfully grown in Dooly county this year and brought 20 cents a pound. The boll weevil is coming, and farming had belter practice pre paredness now.”—Macon Tele graph. | There is a Negro story of a tr.r- jk»y who, every lime it snowed, 'T: w his feather:; about him :.i:d ; ’. : mly resolved to I r.ild him a i !i use, Rut b ft re hi' could decide j v.d.eie to build, or what kind of a boose, the on came out and he I .■ oiild shake cut hi s feathers, strut | mouik! and say to himself: “Ne- j body want ■■ to he in a house on a day like this,” and the ie.si.lt was be fro.w to death one winter night. ’1 here are a lot of people in tl e -same frame of o n 1': s the turkey.

It is mute evidence of a good resolution broken. A cer- 1 aii: father with two children had them insured in an industrial in surance company. He concluded that he could save the money he was paying for insurance some oth er way and decided to put it in a savings bank, and proceeded to open an account for each child. The first was the last deposit ever made. The insurance collector quit his visits and the father’s good resolution to save for his children stopped with his coming, and to day they are without either a bank account or insurance. The rainy day comes to every man. No matter how long it may be delayed or how distant it may seem, or how bright the sky to-day Double is I ound to come to us all, some lime. A certain young man, full of energy and ambition, with as bright prospects ns a man ever had and highly successful, made the boast that he never expected his income to be less than it was at that time; but inside of three years it was nothing. IIo thought he had a life job, and it had every in dication of being such, but the props went from under, and at forty he had to begin building all over again. He does not boast now. The turkey in the story was no more foolish than a lot of human beings. The difference lies in the fast that the turkey takes what is given him, or what lie can find. We have the power to choose.
