The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLIX THE HESS IDE BY MR. WILLIAMS SSTIiR DAY IS AN EYE OPENER All who did not hear Mr. Williams’ Saturday p. m., miss ed a treat. He has been rightly called “the Big Man of the State Department.” What the Eye Specialest is in the Surgical World, remov ing the cataracts from the eye that his patient may receive light, Mr. Willliams is in the Agriculture world, removing notions and ideas from the far mers that they may receive the true light, through which they are now passing, under boll weevil conditions, and be en able thereby to do successful farming. He comes not in the excel ency of speech but in the pow er and demonstration of practi cal proven facts, so clear ly, clearly taught “that any wayfareing man though a fool inav not ere therein.” We feel assured of the fact that if the people will take his practical advice that they will soon have the boll weevil.on the run. He is broad minded enough to be looking out for the far mers welfare in the purchase of Calcium Arsenate by indeaver ing to have it manufactured in Atlanta at a guaranteed price of not more than lOcts. per pound thereby enableing them to use it profitably. After his address Mr. Ralph Turner, who was presiding over the meeting, made some very encouring remarks about not giving up but to continue the battle to a finish. IS.

McDonough, Georgia, Friday, June 29, 1923. HENRY CDHNTY TO JOIN IN THE MIDDLE GA. PEANUT SIGN-DP Jasper, Putnam, Morgan, Oglethorpe, Baldwin, Greene and other Coun ties are Signing Con tracts Rapidly. ALBANY, Ga., Jur.e 25.— Middle Georgia is bidding fair to rival Soulh Georgia in its zeal for co operative marketing of the pea nut crop of 1823. The crop is piactically a new one in many oarts of Mi idle Georgia, but the ■ntelligent farm rs of that section are fully awa r e of the advantages jf co-operative marketing and are lining up strongly with the Geor gia Peanut Growers Co-operation Association. South Georgia, where peanuts have been a money crop for several \ears, has signed more than 60 per cent of the en tire acreage of that section of the S'ate, and midd'e Georgia is ex oected to do fully as well by the ime the campaign in progress there has been completed. While only a limited number of Middle Georgia counties have oeen visited by Peanut Associa ion representatives, more than 15,000 acres of peanuts in that section have been placed under contract. Jasoer county is still leading both that section and the entire state, with ?,000 acres pledged to the Associition. Ap proximate acreages in middle Georgia for which contracts had been sent to headquarters early 'his week were; Jasper, 7,000; Morgan, 2,800; Putnam, 2,500; Oglethorpe, 1,000; Baldwin, 1,000; Greene, 500; Pulaski, 500; and Laurens, 500. Scattering acreage had been sent in from Walton, Burke and other counties. Work had just started in Greene, Oglethorpe, Laurens and other counties that promised to register high totals before the campaigns have ended. Plans of the Peanut Association call for organizing something like thirty-five or forty Middle Georgia counties; in fact, every county in the State that grows peanuts as a money crop. The original territory in South Georgia has completed its per manent organization and elected directors. Now districts wi ! l be laid out in middle Georgia and a director elected from each of them as soon as the work there is com pleted. PEANUT GROWERS MEETING On July 6, at 4 o’cloek p. m at the court house, McDonough. All farmers and business men, especially Peanut Growers are urged to attend this meeting. A representative of the Georgia Peanut Growers Association will be present to explain the details of the Association and the value of the Peanuts as a crop to fill in the gap left by the boll weevil. Peanuts are becoming more and more in demand as a food crop. The time is not far in the future when peanuts will be used for food at our every day meals, as well as, wheat and corn are used now. The oil from peanuts are used to supply the demand for cotton seed oil that can not be filled under boll weevil conditions there by making them more profit able as they have to fill the ever increasing demand for their own products and that of the cotton seed products. Come and hear these men tell you how to do the most importent thing of all. ‘‘How to Market the Peanuts.” sice HARP SINGING SCHOOL To all lovers of Sacred Harp Music: We can have Prof. Newton to teach a singing school here in McDonough for $30.00.

The Fox Street choir from Atlanta was present and helped to make the exercise a success. A number of visitors from different sec tions were present, and it was indeed a pleasant occasion.
