OESTROY THE BOLL WEEVIL NOW-SOUL (Continued from first page.) warm and dry. “And when a pair of boll weev ils come out in the spring and start propagating, they can and do produce in one season from seven to eleven million weevils. So that every time a pair of weevils are plowed under now, and destroyed, we have destroyed from seven to eleven million unhatched weevils that will prey upon us next year. “We have the mules, the horses, the tractors and the labor to plow under the cotton stalks. We have .the time to do it before frost comes. But we have no time to Jose. Plowing under the stalks will not only destroy thousands of boll weevils, but will improve the •soil of every field where they are under. "The crop of weevils now in the soft bolls, which will never open and are, therefore, useless, are what might be termed the seed crop. They are the carry over. They will go into winter quarters if not destroyed now, and will come out next spring and be gin to multiply with their prodi gious rapidity, f&id again devastate our cotton crop. “The time to fight the weevil, ■as I said before, is when he is down. Fight him after the cotton is gone for him to feed on, Fight him by plowing him under. Fight him by destroying, wherever pos sible, the places in which he can take refuge from the cold weather and rains of winter. “Plowing under the cotton stalks at this time, while the fields are still alive with weeyils, will de stroy infinitely more than a hard, cold winter or a dry summer. “Riding this afternoon from Ma con to Atlanta, I saw thousands of acres of cotton stalks, picked out, done with, standing in the field, harboring millions upon millions of boll weevils. “Fifty per cent of the boll wee vil seed crop, at the verv lowest, can be killed by plowing under the cotton stalks.” Does a County Agent Pay? The following is an extract taken from The Atlanta Journal of Tues day evening, Oct. 25. Mr. B. W. West, of Cairo, speaking of the hog raising industry in Grady county. “In 1919 we shipped 100 cars of hogs, in 1920 the number had dwindled to 35 cars and that he doubted whether 25 cars would move this season.” “Of course,” said he, “the de clining price has had a lot to do with the decline of the industry, hut I am persuaded that the coun ty commission has not lent the encouragement that it should have lent on hog raising. We formerly had an A-l man here as county agent, but we are now without such help and the industry is dy ing out.” Creech Creek coal, $9.50 per fon Place order now. Planters •use & Lumber Co, WATSON ASSAILS MONEY MONOPOLY Senator Thomas E. Watson De livered an Eloquent Address Before a Large Audience Filled with Colleagues on Both Sides. Washington, October 24, — (By Constitution Leased Wire ing on the tax bill before a cham ber, well filled with colleagues on both sides, with hundreds of audi tors in the galleries, Senator Thom as E. Watson, of Georgia, this aft ernoon delivered one of the most eloquent speeches recently heard in the senate in denunciation of money monopoly and the alleged greed and avarice of the money power. The Georgian, warming up to his subject after the usual preliminary of statistics and quota tions from reports to sustain his position, walked slowly down the aisle from his seat, and burst into thirty minutes of rare eloquence, declaring that the most powerful speeches recorded in history, the strongest writings of economists, the most classic utterances of the great, outstanding friends of the common oeople in all time had been in their protests to the rob bery of the masses by the mani pulators of money and that even Christ Himself set the example for the world by running the userers from the temple. Senator Watson spoke particu larly in opposition to the great profits accrued by the various regional banks of the federal re serve system, as shown by the treasury statement, and in oppo sition to the large salaries paid and expenses incurred in the man agement of those banks, the sal aries being abnormal, he said, in comparison with other govern ment salaries, or the salaries of like officials in privaie institutions. He attacked the federal board for its alleged contraction of the cur rency, demanded that the idle gold be put into circulation and severely rapped the present as well as the former administration's fiscal poli cy. Whether agreeing with the Georgia senator or not, the fact remains he spoke with great force and held the attention of the sen ate as few speakers do. Three Proposals Are Defeated. Washington. Oct, 24 Three seperate proposals varying reduc tions in the taxes on individual having moderate incomes were voted down today by the senate by over-whelming majority.
