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.”

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. Dis
cussion of them led to a hot polit

tax revision bill, that on Wednes
day there would be submitted a
resolution calling for continuous
24-hour sessions of the senate un
til the revenue measure finally
was disposed of.

ry, democrat, Rhode Island propos
ing that the normal tax rates be 2

$5,000, 6 per ctnt on the third $5-
000, and 8 per cent on all over
$15,000. The vote was 46. to 28,

ncome be 4 per cent and the rate
on the second $4,000 4 per cent,
with the rate on all over that 8 per

minority in supporting the amend
ment.

ing a 3 per cent rate on the first
$5,000 of income and a 6 per cent
rate on the second $5,000. This
