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.
