In Loving Memory
Of Mr. S. P. Owen
Died, at his home in Kellevtown,
Mr. Ss P. Owen, aged 73.
It was the writer’s good fortune
to have known him long and well,
and we only knew him to esteem
him more highly as the years
passed by. Today we miss his
kindly smile and iriendiy greeting;
we long in vain to hear the ring
of jovial laughter and to feel again,
his genial presence, Only yester
day we sat before his bier in the
church near the scene of h:s
youthful, happy days. We stood
bv his open grave as the last sad
rites were performed, and as the
clay of earth closed above his
silent resting place, we said with
the poet:
“Cold in the dust the perished heart may
die,
But that which warmed it once can never
die.”
The funeral services were held
at the Delta Grove church at 11
o’clock Saturday, Rev. G. T. Sor
rells officiating and paying a beau
tiful tribute to the memory of the
deceased. The casket was cov
ered with the most beautiful floral
designs loving fingers ever
wrought, all of which spoke of
peace, purity and immorality. The
music rendered was such as to
soften all hearts and moisten'all
eyes. At the open grave we say
“farewell.” May God’s purest an
gels guard his slumbers.
He was a devoted husband and
kind and indulgent father; to his
sisters a tender brother, and to
his friends, the soul of fellowship,
But the greatest of all—he was a
man. And as a man it is that
those who knew him best most
love to contemplate him. He be
lieved in the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man. He
believed that the man who scat
ters flowers in the
fellowmen, who lets into the dark
places of life the sunshine of hu
man sympathy and human happi
ness, is following in the footsteps
of his Master.
Poet nor artist has ever been
able to portray the grave in colors
of brightness and beauty. Bryant,
in the “Hymn of Death,” could
not make the subject beautiful;
and yet the cemetery with its mar
ble and its dead, the chaff that has
no occupant, the fancied echo of
the silent voice, and the vacant
place in home, social and lodge
life, are mellowing and uplifting
in their influence. They ring the
best of human nature into the full
ness of vigor, crowding back the
selfishness and imperiousness of
men, aneLimpressing them with
the duty of recognition of the
value of friendship. It is
gloom of the church yard that re
veals to us more clearly the beau
ty of life. It is the broken ties at
the grave that prompts us to a
fuller appreciation of the tender
ness of the ties that are not yet
broken; and so while we mourn
the loss of our dead we may re
joice that there is no cloud so dark
that there is no light behind it, no
sorrow so poignant that there is
not a balm for the wound it inflicts.

CONTROLLING THE
BOLL WEEVIL
You have read &r<snt numbers
of articles by eminent men on re
duction of cattdh acreage and
prospective prices for 1921 and bv
cotton experts on the cultivation
and control of the 801 l Weevil by
poisoning with Calcium Arsenate.
Whatever your conclusions,
drawn from these expert advisers,
the vital problem remaining is
whether you can afford to control
the boll weevil by poisoning or
can afford not to use
poison.
The State Board of Entomology
has gotten out a bulletin, No. 59,
showing that where poison is
properly applied, using the dust
ing method, enough more cotton
has been raised to cover the cost
of a power machine, the cost of
the calcium and the cost of the
labor necessary to apply it. And
enough more seed have also been
obtained to materially add to the
grower’s income.
U. S. Department of Agriculture
Bulletin No. 162 by Prof. B. R.
Goad and T. P. Cassidy show's that
by using the Cart type duster and
Calcium Arsenate of a government
standard, poisoning to control the
boll weevil will pay, provided it is
put on at the right time and in the
proper way.
The State Board of Entomology
recommends that “If there is
heavy infestation of the boll weevil,
the cotton should be dusted early
in the season, at least once and
probably twice, just before the
squares become large enough to
be punctured by the weevil.”
The State College of Agriculture
at Athens also has published bul
letins covering experiments on
this subject.
Any one interested will be fur
nished copies of these bulletins by
Southern Brokerage Co.
The fact that the Niagara Sprayer
Company’s Cart Type Machine
meets the two vital necessities for
controlling the boll weevil, being
the right type of dusting machine
and using the government stand
ard of calcium arsenate, has se
cured the indorsement of both the
State College of Agriculture and
the State Board of Entomology,
The machine has a capacity for
the control of the boll weevil on
100 acres.
The Southern Brokerage Com
pany, of Fort Valley, Georgia, has
the machines and the materials in
stock and is in a position to sell
them at such prices and oa terms
as will enable you to buy them
and PROFITABLY use them.
It has always been the policy of
the Southern Brokerage Company
to work with the farmer and
planter in every way that it £an,
especially through the State Board
and County Agents.
The Niagara Diamond Brand
Calcium Arsenate and Curt Type
Cotton Dusting Machines are.not
excelled.
Write this concern at Fort Val
ley, Georgia, for full particulars,
as some of last year’s experiments
show that there was a difference
of about five cents (sc) per pound
between the cost of raising dusted
and undusted cotton, in favor of
the dusted cotton. —Advt.
