We fear that In some quarters there is u tendency to be over con

year. 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

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

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

cows are secured and intelligent
niethods artj followed. One caimot.

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.

It,is all right for Qraily county
to sell hern airloads of hogs. It is
a splendid source of income to the

comes from the home cured pro

that, our supply of good country

to any extent because of the cash

cure enough fbr home use and some

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

what they practically amount to

those counties, where the county

on common and intelligent ground.
Nothing mere effective, no bet ter
