Single Stalk Method of Cotton Culture
Twenty-five to one hundred per‘
cent increase in yield is reported by
cotton growers who have adopted the'
new close spacing system of cotton
culture, introduced eight or ten years
ago by the United States department
of agriculture. Reports coming direct
ly to the department and to southern
agricultural journals, which have in
‘terested themselves in encouraging the
new system, show that farmers
throughout the cotton regions of the
country are rapidly turning to the plan,
Increased yield, less labor and expense
for the crop, and a lessening of boll
weevil damage are among the benefits
recited in hundreds of letters .written
by farmers in various parts of the
south. Indications are that the system
will be adopted far more widely the
coming season. /
The close spacing, more commonly
known as the single-stalk method of
cotton culture, consists primarily in
sgacing the cotton plants so close in
the row—hoe width apart—that the
lower or vegetative branches do not
develop, and the growth of the plant
goes dirgctly into the upper or, fruit
ing .branches, permitting them to be
gin the development of blossoms and
bolls earlier and giving them more
nourishment and more light.
The discovery that the cotton plant
in common with coffee, cacao and a
number of other species, produces two
different sets of branches was an
nounced by specialists of the depart
ment about 1911, and has given direc-

OFFICIAL APPEAL FOR AID.
CANNOT EXIST UNTIL HAR
VEST WITHOUT HELP.
RIGA, Letvia—The Izvestia of
Moscow says that an official appeal
to all citizens of Russia to aid in al
leviating the suffering caused by fam
ine signed by all the members of the
government places the number of
starving at not less than 10,000,000 in
Astrakhan, Tsarisyn, Saratov, Samaha,
Simbrisk, Ufa and Viatka govern
ments and along the Volga, in the Tar
tar republic, and the Chuvash territory.
These, the appeal says, cannot exist
until the next harvest without aid. The
famine is characterized as a national
calamity.
According to an American relief ex
pert in Riga the cost of completely
relieving this number from outside of
Russia would exceed $40,000,000 a
month.
REFUSE TO GIVE UP A
NEGRO FROM GEORGIA
LLANSING, Mich.—Gov. Groesbeck

that state, have disproved a report that
preparations were made to lynch Ray
about a year ago.
tions to a series of useful experiments
in cultivation. By taking account of
the spécialized habits of branching it
was found possible to exercise a much
more effective control of the develop
ment of the plants so as to secure
earlier crops, larger yields and greater
protection against injury by the boll
weevil,
~ The suppression of the veghtative
branches avoids the excessive crowd
ing of large plants and injurious com
‘petition between the two kinds of
branches. The cultural ideal under the
new system is a cotton plant with only
the single, erect central stalk bearing
numerous well shaped fruiting branch
es, but none of the vegetative branch
es or secondary stalks. The suppres
sion of the vegetative branches is eas
ily accomplished by leaving the young
plants close together in the rows.
Thinning is deferred until the plants
are some 6 to 8 inches high, or even
later under conditions of rank growth.
If the young plants. stand less than
6 inches during these early stages of
growth more of them will not pro
duce many vegetative branches, but
will have only the upright. central
stalk and the horizontdl fruiting
branches.
The distance between the plants is
regubted- with reference to local con
ditions and the habit of growth of dif
ferent varieties, the range being be
tween 6 and 12 inches. The plants then
have a narrow upright form and can
be left closer together in the rows.
OUST RESERVE BOARD,
SEN. WATSON URGES
HE .INTRODUCES RESOLUTION
MAKING SUCH REQUEST OF
THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—A resolu
tion directing President Harding to
remove from office members of the
}fcderal reserve board and to appoint
iin their places five men who are not
}bankers was introduced in the senate
ltoday by Senator Watson, of Georgia.
‘ Senator Watson’s resolution declar
‘ed that the “secret, unlawful and ruin
‘ous policy” of the present board has
entailed a loss of $33,000,000,000 on
’the American people, that the board
has “loaned to monopolistic profiteers”
the larger part of the federal reserve
system’s funds, and has been “inso
lently heedless of the cries of its vic
tims.”
Governor Harding Hot.
Senator Watson’s resolution was
introduced while Governor Harding
of the board was appearing before the
senate banking and currency commit
tee to answer attacks on the board’s
policy with respect to agricultural
loans. 7
~ Governor Harding hotly denounced
“southern politicians” and others who,
e said, are “attempting to delude the
farmers and cotton growers into the
belief that the federal reserve board
is discriminating against them. The
federal reserve board is dénounced for
not announcing to the people of the
country that it will extend.cotton cred
its indefinitely until cotton again goes
to 40 cerfts a pound. If it did that our
banks would soon be in the position
of the Bank of Cuba and the Philip
pine banks.”
Favors State Giving
’ Free School Books
Bill in Line With Senator Watson’s
| Speech at Union City.
ATLANTA, Ga.—The senate com
mittee has favorably recommended a
bill to provide free text books to the
schoo!l children of the state.
Under the provisions of the bill the
books are to be paid for out of the
general appropriation_for the common
schools, each county is to have its reg
ular common school appropriation dis
counted in proportion to the number
of text books it secures from the state
commissioner of education. ¥The coun
ty boards of education are to have
charge of the distribution and requisi
tion for the books. For 1922 the first
and second grades are to be granted
free books, for 1923 the third and
fourth grades, for 1924 the fifth and
sixth grades, and for 1925 the seventh
grade. So that by 1925 all the com
mon schools of the state will be dis
tributing books to all of “the pupils
iree of charge. ¥ 1
. In his speech at Union City on July
Fourth Senator Watson urged that the
state furnish free text books.
Condition of the Crops
~ Throughout Cotton Belt
Cotton Makes Fair to Very Good Ad
vance in all Sections.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Temper
ature averaged near normal in the cot
ton growing states during the last
week and showers were general, ex
cept in parts of Texas, according to
the crop bulletin of the department of
agriculture.
~ Under these conditions, the report
said, cotton made fair to very good |
advance in all sections, although there
was considerable damage by excessive |
rains in some eastern localities.
The plants are blooming and fruiting
well in Tennessee and Oklahoma and
made very good advance in Georgia
and North Carolina. The condition is
fair to very good in nearly all section
of Texas, except in the east and cen
tral coast sections. The weather was
favorable for cotton in Arkansas and
progress was fairly good in Louisiana,
‘Alabama and Mississippi. Growth was
rank, but at the expense of fruit, in
South Carolina and some damaging
rains occurred. *

THE DAWSON NEWS
FIELD STATIONS ESTABLISH
ED AT WAYNESBORO AND
AMERICUS, THIS STATE.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The rapid
expansion of weevils throughout the
southern ‘states has made necessary
the establishment of a number of new
field stations by the department of
agriculture throughout the weevil-in
fested territory, it was announced to
day. The stations Jocated so far are as
follows: Fairfax, S.. C.; Waynesboro,
Ga.; Americus, Ga.; Demopolis, Ala.;
Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Brookhaven, Miss.;
Victoria, Tex.; Denton, Tex.; Taylor,
Texas, and San Benito, Texas.
Two or more men are located at
cach station, the announcement stated,
cne engaged in research work and the
other surveying weevil and cotton con
ditions throughout the surrounding
district.
Reports from practically all portions
of the cotton belt indicate there is an
unusually severe boll weevil infesta
tion this year in nearly all sections of
the south, according tofthe department
of agriculture. From a series. 8f sur
veys made by the department’s labora
tory at Tallulah, La., during the last
seven years it has been determined
that the infestation this vear is the
heaviest which has been experienced in
any of the seasons except that of 1916,
and is very nearly as heavy as it was
that year. j
The surveys made from 1915 to 1921,
inclusive, were on 12 plantations in
Madison parish, Louisiana, the same
points being taken each’year, and
something over 200,000 plants exam
ined annually usually during the first
week in June. From these examinations
the number of weevils are noted and
the ratio-of cotton plants per weevil
computed. The number of plants per
weevil during the obServations were:
19}5, 177; 1916, 100; 1917, 5,525; 1918,
441 1919, 245; 1920, 221; 1921, 152.
The observations, the department says,
afford a fair degree of comparison of
the investations developing each sea
somn.
~These comments, of course,” says
the department, “apply only to the in
festation of hibernated weevils, and
this infestation does not necessarily de
termine the degree of damage which
will be experienced throughout the
season, because weather conditions
may operate to offset this heavy ini
tial infestation and thus reduce ! the
damage later. However, it simply
means this: Jf the injury by the wee
vil is to be no more than normal the
weather must be abnormally unfavor
-able to the cotton plant. Thus the
chances are against the farmer at the
outset.”
Women to Smoke in Public
As Protest Against Bill
Accepted Invitation to Puff Cigarets
Before Members of Congress.
Womefi will puff cigarets and even
smoke pipes, if they want to, before
members of congress when the anti
‘s_mokiilg bill comes up for considera
tion.
} Since Representative Paul B. John
son, of Mississippi, introduced his bill
prohibiting women from smoking in
public in ghe District of Columbia the
house District of Columbia committee,
which was given charge of the meas
ure, has been beseiged by supporters
and. opponents of the right of women
to smoke.
So Chairman Focht has issued a
general invitation to the many groups
and organizations of Washington wo
men, who are protesting against Mr.
Johnson’s proposed discrimination, to
appear before the committee and show
members of congress how it is done.
(,g;\airman Focht is keeping secret
the identity of the women who have
signified their willingness to show the
members of congress how they puff
cigarets in the hotels and other tea
rooms of the capital.

Falls in Gasoline Tank 1
And Is Asphyxiated
Alex Berry Loses Balance at Bain
bridge While Taking Measurement.
BAINBRIDGE, Ga.— Bainbridge
was stunned Monday by the tragic
death of young Alex Berry, which oc
curred at 6 o'clock by his drowning
in one of the Texas Oil Company’s
arge gasoline tanks. In taking the af
ternoon measurement the young boy
dropped his pencil in the tank and
swung down into it to reach for it.
Quickly becoming overcome by the
gas fumes he called to his small com
panion to catch him, but his weight
was too much for g¢he friend.
Shortly after young Berry had suc
:umbed help came and with a piece of
wire the body was caught by the
arms and drawn to the top of the tank.
