Wc do not for a minute wish to appear us not having full con fidence in the methods that have boon recommended by tlm govern ment, authorities and others us being efficacious in the growing of cot ton in the weevii territory, but we should remember that we go into the fight next year without the least bit of cxpcrencc in the matter of mmi;. ■ H§|' ' No use to hurry about destroy ing those cotton stalks now. There are no weevils in them now. Use your time in digging, up those stumps and cleaning out the. fence rotys. The weevil is hiding around under the grass' anti weeds. I he more of them you can stir up to where thivcold will get them the fewer you will have to fight, next spring. It makes some,difference- to you as to whether your neighbor is making an effort to combat, the weevil, but after all it is going to depend most on whether you make the proper effort to combat him. Hil does not travel far to find his food except 'in the fall of the year. In considering the peanut crop as one tliat you will grow next year do not overlook the fact that the peanut is a legume and if given proper cultivation it will leave your land more fertile. If * harvested at the proper time you also get-a good crop of hay. Grady county farmers should plant some big supplies of home raised feed for 1917 and then should begin the buying of good dairy cows. Be sure to make the feed supply a full one however for a dairy cow will eat lots oLfeed in a few months .time. She pays hand some dividends on all that she gets though. No; form of agriculture will add so'rhpidly to the wealth of Grady connty as dairy farming if good cows are secured and intelligent niethods artj followed. One caimot. pay the present mnrket prices for all the feed that goes to his cows and hope to'make a profit. But. a few first class cows could be kept on almost any farm and made to pay. well. tnc n| fighting the weevil and as a matter of course some things are going to develop on some farms .that cannot be foreseen and it is going to prove impossible to keep up the fight as outlined. The results is going to lit that there will be some Serious failures with the growing of cot ton next year. For the above and otuher reasons wc want to urge again and again on the farmers of Grady county not to be led away into planting too much cotton next. year. It is true the price of cotton is high, but the price of many other crops that we can grow even better than we can grow cotton is also high. It will be a fatal mistake if our farme undertake the growing of a largo area of cotton next year. It is simp ly out of the question for us to grow cotton under the conditions that wc have been doing and it will be the height of folly for us to try. the i to their lie nee- one to he diligent <t spring.

Es timate what you would receive from the products of twelve acres of your poorest land planted to cot ton without fertilizer and then de cide whether it may not pay you to plant some of your cotton acres to peanuts for harvesting. . Be Boll Weevil Gleb It,is all right for Qraily county to sell hern airloads of hogs. It is a splendid source of income to the farmer at this season of the year and relieves liitn of a lot of heavy work, but it should not be lost sight of that the greatest profit comes from the home cured pro ducts and wc -would hate to believe that, our supply of good country hams and bacon would be lessened to any extent because of the cash market for liv-e-hogs. Be sure to cure enough fbr home use and some to sell next spring when the price is sure to be high. Your Nei No doubt you have long ago realized just^the seriousness of the situation brought about by the boll •weevil and the high prices of cot ton for this county next year. Maybe you arc pretty well assured that your neighbor has also realized it. But there are a great many over the county tliat have not rea lized it, and if something worth while is not done there is sure to be a very grave situation at the elose of next year. So why not tell your neighbor that cotton cannot be grown here next year unless special methods are used. Tell your neighbor to tell his neigh bor that this is true. Our farmers can be waked up on this matter and serious results from the weevil in.this county can be avoided, but the responsibility is on every mnn • to help spread the propaganda. Tell your neighbor to toll his neigh bor that a big cotton crop for next The organization of boll weevil clubs in Georgia bids fair to be ns vitally important a developemont in the agricultural life of the State ns the boy,s pig and girl’s canning clubs have been, remarkable though those organizations have ! come up in the last few years, j The boll weevil club, such as lms been organized in Fierce county for instance, is nothing, more nor less than an organization of cotton growers in each county who bind themselves to observe certain me thods and activities nndon a cer tain defined and adhered to scale in the matter of growing cotton next summer with the boll woevil already in their fields. Such work highly important, as burning all stalks, early plnnting and early maturing, the most profitable and practical forms.'of immediate di versification and the intelligent ad option of the processes found by experience elsewhere to be the most effective. woevil antidote, both agriculturally and economical ly, have been set forth and agreed to by the members. Reports arc that farmers are joining those mu tual protection societies for that, is what they practically amount to in great, numbers, especially in those counties, where the county fair has been held and an oppor tunity has been afforded to get to gether and talk over the problem on common and intelligent ground. Nothing mere effective, no bet ter work could be done than the or ganization of these clubs. Co-op eration is the order of the day in agriculture as well as in finance and commerce and industry. Every city has its board of trade, year cared for under the methods that wo haved used Jill along will result in a big. upsetting of this county next fall in a financial way. Grow plenty of every thing else and a little cotton to sell at the high price and we will not feel the injury of the boll weevil. Tell your neighbor. confidently unafraid, so well equip - ed to look their problem intellig ently in the face and solve it with its advent. The last few years have seen our farmers, grow their own food, very largely. She rennaissuneo of live stock production is giving them a money crop, not. in place nf cotton, but in addition to it. Comity loaders, fine, forward-looking, civic- spirited men, hav?-arisen and de veloped who have been quietly but forcefully preaching the New Farm Emancipation to their neighbors proving their theories by success ful practice and giving their time to the general weal. All this work has told against the coming of the weevil and Georgia is far readier for him than it lias been imagined any cotton State could over te when first the awful devastation of this invader was brought home in Texas and on the Mississippi delta The quick and general organiza tion of these boll weevil clubs, the sure and informed fashion in which they are going to work tell elo quently enough of how Georgia is facing her problem—Macon Tele graph. Had Grady county had a well organized Boll Weevil Club in op eration in this county wo are con vinced that the condition that now prevails in the county would have been impossible, and that instead of the freeze of a few days ago com ing with great numbers of our fields of cotton stalks still standing from which the weevil was driven by the frost ao winter quarters in all the surrounding hedgerows, woods, and trash piles, it would have found practically every field of stalks in the county either turn ed under or burned and the chances for Injury from the. weevil next, year reduced to a minimum, How ever our farmers have let their best opportunity pass and it is now all the more important that they get together to devise ways mid means of fighting the boll weevil in the very best ways possible. The fact that so many fields were ieft undisturbed until freezing wont,her makes it quite sure, that there will be big lot of the weevils to combat next year, and only the most intelli gent methods from now on will a- vail to keep lus depredations downi to the point where profitable re sults may be expected from (lie growing of cotton next year.
