“Rules of Reason” Set Out as Simple
to Follow, and Inexpensive, in Grow
ing Cotton Cnder Weevil Conditions
the Foremost of Which is Radically
Reduced Acreage and Instensive
Cultivation. ♦
(By James A. Holloman, Staff Cor
respondent Atlanta Constitution,
and pubilshed in The True Citizen
by courtesy of The Constitution.)
Following the track of boll
weevil from his first stand on the
eastern end of the Rio Grande valley
in Texas through northern Texas, in
to western Louisiana and Arkansas
thence east across the river into Miss
issippi and eastern Louisiona and on
into the full plains of Alabama, and
then across the state into the south
eastern cotton belt—
Analyzing his conquering ravages
upon the almost universal expanse of
cotton fields, the sudden desperation
of the planters that grew into panic
as they saw the expectant resources
of their labors swept away like chaff
in a tornado’s path; the psychology
of a stern and unyielding Necessity—
that drove heretofore independent and
wealthy cotton farmer s into now fields
of farming endeavor jn order to pro
vide the fundamentals for keeping the
bodies and souls oi their loved ones
together—
Studying the evolution of crop di
versification, forced by a circum
stance ,at first appraised as cured
and almost forbiddimg—and now ac
cepted as a “mother of invention”
that marked fcfca path of a better
day—> u |!
Correlating experiences of the
pioneers in the southwest in fighting
weevil infestation and in thus reduc
ing individual cotton acreage from
year to year through the force of
conditions they could not otherwise
master —and then—
Seeing with your own eyes the ob
ject lessons that a forced radical re
duction in cotton acreage to the plow,
an f ] a natural sequence of intense cul
tivation, had produced in not only
solving the boll weevil problem, but
in bringing a greater, prosperity to
the farmer who will apply the rules
of reason that years of disaster unal
terably prescribed for him—
I unhesitatingly declare that the
boll weevil menace can ffie overcome
in the southeast, just as I found it
has been overcome in the southwest,
and that prescribed acreage in cot
ton can be made, under usual crop
conditions, to produce as much cotton
to the acre as in pre-weevil days,
and in many instances much more,
but that it can only be done by runn
ing a fast race on a short track —BY
REDUCING THE INDIVIDUAL OPER
AT IONS TO FIVE OR SIX ACRES TO
THE PLOW, nor cover on the most
fertile, quick-acting soil types; and
by CONCENTRATING the cultural en
ergy heretofore applied to forty acres
to the reduced area.
Not only can the boll weevil be
outdistanced in such a race —if con
ducted along the simple lines that ex
perience has proven as necessary—but
cotton can be Agrown economically
and thus profitably while the farmer
by making it a surplus crop only, will
thus find that the money from the
sale of his cotton will not be requir
ed to pay the supply stores for the
meat and meal and flour and grains
and hay that he largely imported from
the west when his whole fortune each
year was stacked on the cotton
square.
Weevil Here to Stay Cannot Be Ex
terminated
Going into Texas I quickly discov
ered the fallacy of a prevailing opin
ion in many section of the southeast
that the boll weevil, a migato.ry in
sect, holds a stand in a specific area
for three or four years, and then
passes on to greener fields and new
er pastures.
The fact is the weevil is just as
prevalent in cotton fields along the
north shores of the Rio Grande today
as he was fifteen years ago when he
razed the blooming fields like the
sweep of Pharao’s army across the
Egyptian hills.
He is there, and there to stay. He
is here, and here to stay.
He is everywhere where cotton is
grown on the North American conti
nent —neither the activities of man
nor the passing of time will extermi
nate him.
The Texas farmers had the same
opinion at first, but time corrected it
Procrastination —the thief of time
and the assassin of opportunity—kept
tens of thousands of farmers in the
very path of his onward march from
preparing for him.
The finally learned the lesson of
the inadequacy of repellant influences
from costly experience.
In Louisiana it took the farmers
five years to realize that they could
not find some scheme by which the
weevils could be literally driven from
the state.
In the rich delta lands of Mississ
ippi they believed they could con
tinue their old-time plantation methods
of vast fields and slow cultivation, and
get away from the weevil.
It took the planters of that favored
land five years of hardship and incal
culable to learn that the weevil
could not be eradicated—nor con
quered by a favorable cotton season
In the southwest Alabama the farm
ers were most alert to the inevitable
invasion. They sent delegations to
the Rio Grande valley to learn the les
son of control, not of extermination;
and they began early to meet the wee
vil in a fast race, and they have won
with smaller net losses than in any
other section of the cotton belt that
I have visited.
It must not be understood that all
the farmers of the southwest have
learned the lessons of weevil control j

GEORGIA & 'FLORIDA
STRIKE GALLED OFF
Agreement Reached to Prevent Strike
an Employe Victory. Is Now Pay
ing High Scale. Proposed 15 Per
Cent Wage Slice Is Abandoned By
Railroad.
Augusta, Ga., March 27.—Georgia
and Florida Railway trains were oper
ating on schedul? time in and out of
Augusta today, the strike set for 5
o’clock in the morning between the
trainmen and officials of the road.
The agreement is a victory for the 120
trainmen involved, as the new scale
of wages adopted is the same as that
of November 1, 1921 which was the
highest in the history of the road.
The railway was represented by
John Skelton Williams, receiver; D.
F. Kirkland, general manager, and G
F. Dickson, general superintendent.
Judge Henry C. Hammond, of the Su
perior court of the Augusta circut,
was also present. The trainmen were
represented by F. F. Namitz, of Cali
fornia; F. L. Marsh, representing the
conductors; J. C. Conner, represent
ing the trainmen; J. H. Rheney, rep
resenting the engineers and J. T.
Moore, representing the firemen.
Basis rates for pay of passenger en
gineers in effect on the Georgia and
Florida Dailway per 100 miles or five
hours’ work, January 1 1921 were
$3, an increase to $3.40 was made
in June, 1917, and on November 1,
1921, the rate was increased to $4.05
which rate was cut o:a February 16,
1922, to $3.40, the same rate that was
in effect June, 1917. This 15 per cent
cut affected all trainmen practically
alike.
Under the agreement entered into
Monday morning the 15 per cent cut
made on February 16, of this year
was declared null arid void by the
railroad and the high wage scale was
placed in effect. The variation of the
pay of engineers is illustrative of that
paid all trainmen.
The railroad was notified March 4,
1922, at a conference held between
the officials of the road and trainmen
union that a strike would be called
March 27 If the cut made by the road
was allowed to stand. Mr. Williams
stated at this conference that the
road was unable to pay the wage scale
in force November 1, 1921, because it
was losing approximately SI,OOO a day
and until it could begin to earn oper
ating expenses the wage scale would
have to be reduced.
Had the strike gone into effect ap
proximately 120 men, including en
gineers, conductors, firemen and flag
men, would have been affected 1 and in
all probability it would have meant
that no trains would have been oper
ated over the road Monday. In the
event the strike hacT been called, of
ficials of the road we remaking ar
rangements to get other men to oper
ate the freight trains.
For several hours it seemed as
though an agreement between the
trainmen heads and the road officials
would not be reached. It was finally
announced about 1 o’clock that the
strike had been called off. but the con
ference did not end until 2 o’clock.
Thousands cf them have refused to
lea.rn—to listen to reason. Thousands
of them are too indifferent to their
own fortunes to apply the cultural
rules that experience has proven.
Thousands of them are too selfop
ionated to admit that the weevil can
bet them in a slow race—
But I did not find a progressive,
up-to-date farmer who applied com
mon-sense business methods to his
operations, and who followed syste
matically the rules of reason that
have been demonstrated to be abso
lutely necessary—not merely essential
—in farming under boll weevil con
ditions who is not making under nor
mal conditions as much or more cot
ton on a given area than ever be
fore—and I personally talked to
scores of them in every section I
visited.
Simple “Rules of Reason” Must
Guide The Planter.
As to the “rules of reason” —and I
have coined that term in this con
nection because common senso, ordi
nary reason, teaches or should teach
their soundness —there is nothing
mysterious, nothing out of the ordi
nary, nothing particularly scientific
certainly nothing impracticable about
any of them.
In the first place, the weevil hi
bernates in trash, the bark of trees,
in unkept hedges, in rotting stumps,
in Spanish moss —anywhere, indeed,
where he may encase himself from
the rigors of winter.
The first essential in cotton farm
ing under boll weevil conditions is to
recognize hhe wintering weevil as
the basic factor in subsequent infes
tation. That is common sense —there
fore—
The open field of cotton segregated
from natural liberating haunts, is
also common sense. The farmer who
makes cotton successfully in spite of
the weevil keeps his farm clean, and
plants his cotton as far distant as
practicable from woodland.
Rotation is essential not only in
keeping awajf from the wintering
weevil, but in keeping the soil built
up. The weevil does not feed upon
any but the cotton plant. The over
winter weevil comes out of hiberna
tion when the weather in sufficiently
warm for the cotton plant to begin
to grow. He is first seen in the bud.
The female o;' the pair lays her eggs
in the formin ? squares. It is the first
crop of offsprings from the overwin
ter weevils th at does the damage. One
pair of the insects multiply at the
rate of 200,000,000 each season. There
fore, it is common sense to realize
that controlling the over-winter wee
vil is a basic problem. Rotation helps
to do this.
Drainage is a prime essential, Wet
s °ggy soil is conducive to weevil pro
pagation. It attracts weevil migra
tion. It is c< immon sense to see that
no land is planted in cotton that
is not properly drained s 0 that the

CHANGE TRIAL MAY BE
HELD IN WAYNESBORO,
MISTRIAL IN CASE FRIDAY
Jury Unable to Agree After 20 Hours
of Deliberation. One Juror Asks
Acquittal. Ballot of Jury Stands
11 to 1 for Conviction Trougliout.
Millen, Ga., March 24. —Judge K.
B. Strange declared a mistrial this
afternoon in the case of the State vs,
R. H. Chance, one of five charged
with murder of Watson Allen last
Christmas about five miles from here
The case went to the jury at 5
o’clock Thursday afternoon and Fri
day noon the jury sent word to Judge
Strange that they could not agree,
and the judge instructed the sheriff
to tell them to enter into further de
liberation. About 2.15 this afternoon
the jury requested the court to re
charge them on the law of manslaugh
ter and justifiable homicide, which
was done, and in addition, a full
charge w r as given them.
At 4.30 o’clock this afternoon Judge
Stwmge called the jury back to the
court room and inquired if they had
reached a verdict, and upon being in
formed that they had not, declared
a mistrial and dismissed them for the
term, and adjourned this session of
court.
Members of the jury stated after
they had beeen dismissed that they
stood 11 for conviction of murder, to
1 for acquittal, thirty minutes after
they reached their room Thursday
afternoon, ar # l this vote remained un
til they were dismissed by the court.
O. H. Williams, one of the jurors
is said to have been the juror who
stood for acquittal.
Change of Venue Discussed
Judge Strange discussed the mat
ter of a change of venue with coun
sel for the State and defense, but no
decision was arrived at or no agree
ment entered into regarding the ques
tion. It was urged by counsel for the
prosecution that they would not be
whiling to try at Sylvania, because
E. K. Overstreet, leading counsel for
the defense, lives at this place. States
boro was objected to by the defense
because it is the home of R.
Lee Moore, leading counsel for the
prosecution. It was finally agreed
that Springfield would be a neutral
place for the trial, but Judge Strange
suggested that it would entail too
much expense for witnesses to go to
Springfield, and he thought the best
thing to do would be to transfer the
case to Waynesboro.
The matter will be taken under ad
visement and settled at an eajrly date,
the court stated. *.
Millen has been agog from the incep
tion of the trial until the jury w?.s
dismissed this afternoon. The all eg
ed crime created more interest
in the county than any since the God
bee trial several years ago.
The jury was composed of the fol
lowing: C. C. Oglesby, Zack Cowart,
L. B. Hail, W. C. Clark, O. H. Wil
liams, D. B. Forehand, Melvine John
son, B. F. Lanier, R. Y. Lanier, W.

HARDING INVITED TO
ADDDRESS N. E. A.
President of the United States Expect
ed as Chief Speaker at Missoula
Convention.
Washington, D. D., March —Presi-
dent Harding is shaping plans for his
Alaska trip next summer so that he
can attend the 37th annual convention
of the National Editorial Association
to be held at Missoula, Montana,
early in July. The president is a
paid-up member of the National Edi
torial Association and proud of his
affiliation with this organization of
newspaper owners. Such an address
would be cf national interest.
Preparations are made for two
special de luxe trains to transport the
editors during their entire tour of
twenty-one days, starting and ending
at Chicago.
Besides visiting Yellowstone and
Glacier National Parks, the newspa
per party will travel over the vast
stretch of Montana, stopping in twen
ty or more towns and passing thru
the mining and agricultural districts
of the state. Part of the journey
will be by water, up Flathead Lake,
which is one of the many scenic spots
that lie outside Yellowstone and Gla
cier National Parks.
Missoula is making extensive ar
rangements to entertain the visitors
during the three days they will be
there for the convention. All the oth
er towns cn the itinerary are vying
with one another in plans to show
their hospitality.
Special entertainment will be pro
vided in Yellowstone Park where the
semi-centennial celebration of this na
tional playground will be in full
swing. And, later on the trip, when
the editors arrive in Glacier Park
they will be greeted in a picturesque
manner by the original inhabitants of
the Rocky Mountain country, the
Blackfeet Indians, who still stick to
their tribal custom of registering
their guests with the mam
moth quill of the Golden Eagle.

SORYEY OF CITY FOR
MALARIA CONTROL WORK
Lt. Old of r. S. Public Health Ser
vice in City Wednesday at Instance
of City Board of Health —Will
Wake Determined Fight When Es
timate is F’lnanced.
The City Board cf Health thru the
courtesy of the State Board of
Health and Central of Georgia Rail
way, has been fortunate enough to
secure the services of Lt. Old of the
U. S. Public Health Service, who has
been detailed to the Central Railway
Malaria Control Work, to make a sur
vey of the city of Waynesboro with a
view of the control of mosquitoes and
malaria.
As soon as the estimate of the cost
of the work is made active steps will
be taken to make Waynesboro the
healthiest city In the state.
Lt. Old did malaria work in Al
bany, Savannah, Tifton and other
cities in the state last year and a
reduction of 85 to 90 per cent in ma
laria was noted. It is earnestly hop
ed that our city fathers and everyohe
else interested in the welfare of the
city will do all in their power to aid
and encourage this work. Last year
there 14 deaths in Waynesboro from
malaria, and in the county 22, when
there should not be any. Let’s do all
we can to rid ourselves of the dan
gers of malaria and the malaria bear
ing mosquito.
HON. POPE BROWN DIES
AFTER A LONG ILLNESS
State Farm Warden. He Had Held
Various Public Offices in State.
Atlanta, March 29.—Hon. J.
Brown, superintendent and warden of
the state prison farm at Milledge
ville, died early this morning.
The funeral will be held at his
home in Hawkinsville tomorrow at 11
o’clock and will be attended by the
entire prison commission.
Mr. Brown was for years one of the
best known figures in state public life
and was a very strong factor.
Originally he was one of the state’s
large planters, operating a large
place near Hawkinsville, and a num
ber of years ago came to Atlanta and
was connected with a financial insti
tution.
He was appointed by Gov. Candler
to fill the place on the state railroad
commission made vacant by the death
of L. H. Trammell and took oace
July 7, 1900, serving until Oct. 25,
1905, the last three years as chair
man.
Upon the death of State Treasurer
R. E. Park, Mr. Brown was appointed
by Gov. Hoke Smith to serve the bal
ance of that term, beginning in 1909
He did not seek election and was sue
ceeded by the present treasurer W. J.
Speer.
In 1906 Mr. Brown announced him
self a candidate for governor, but as
the time for making the race ap
proached he withdrew. At that time
Fr ke Smith was elected gove n> •
For a great many years Mr. Brown
was president of the State Agricul
tural Society afid throughout his life
took a deep interest in the welfare
of that organization. He was 64 years
old. He is survived by his widow
and one daughter, who teachers school
in Montgomery, Ala., but who was
’rtth him throughout his illness of the
last week.
I have secured the agency for the
T. J. King Seed Co., of Richmond,
Va., the originator of the genuine
King cotton seed, the earliest kind
that can be grown is shipped direct
from the grower in North Carolina.
You can make cotton, notwithstand
ing the boll weevil, if you will plant
genuine King cotton seed. Orders
received now and prompt shipment
made. I have a score of testimonials
from some of the largest and best
faamers in the cotton belt testifying
to the earliness and prolificy of the
King cotton.' It is ahead of all others
varieties.

BERRIEN MAKES MOTION
FOR NEW TRIAL, REARING
IS SET FOR APRIL IS
R, If. Berrien, Jr., Is Convicted of
Larcney After Trust. Gets Three
to Five Years. Answers to Charge
of Shortage in State School War
rants.
Atlanta, March 24. —R. N. Berrien,
Jr., investment broker, was convict
ed by a jury in Superior court here
tonight of larceny after trust in con
nection with a shortage in State
school warrants and sentence was
fixed at from three to five years. He
was arrested recently in New York
and returned for trial. The total short
age was said to have been about
$40,000.
Berrien was convicted on an indict
ment charging larcney after trust of
school warrants for Murray county and’
his counsel announced an appeal
would be taken and that the eleven
other indicaments against him would
be fought.
Atlanta, March 25.—The motion for
a new trial for R. N. Berrien, Jr.,
who was convicted yesterday after
noon of larceny after trust and sen
tenced to serve from three to five
years will be heard by Judge John D
Humphries, the trial judge on April
15.
Berrien was present in the court
room when the jury returned their
verdict against him. He received the
verdict and sentence of the court
with no display of emotion whatever
His leading counsel, Edgar Watkins
immediately filed a motion fer a new
trial. The ground of the motion
were not set forth, since the law
does not require them to be set forth
in a motion made at the conclusion
of a trial.
It was privately indicated by At
torney Watkins, however, that his mo
tion for a new trial, and hi subse
quent appeal to the higher courts if
the motion is denied, will be based
upon the ground that Berrien bought
the state school warrants cn credit,
so to speak, and now occupies? me po
sition merely of a debtor, and cannot
be prosecuL ?; c iminaily as a debtor
This was the ground of his motion
to quash the indictment before .. the
trial started, and the ground of' his
motion at the conclusion of the evi
dence for Judge Humphries to direct
a verdict in favor of Berrien.
The jury were out from 1.25 o'-
clock. It was understood that there
was yesterday afterncon until 5.05 o’
clQck, quite a debate among them as
to whether Berrien could be convict
ed under the law of the crime of lar
ceny after trust. Evidently the tech
nical question raised by Attorney
Watkins in his argument had serio
usly impressed the minds of some of
the jurors.
Berrien was tried on one of a doz
en indictments charging larcney af
ter trust. The particular cne on
which he was tried was an indict
ment charging him with f iie larceny
of school warrants proceeds amount
ing to $2,041 which were due and 1
which he should have delivered to T.
W. Colvard, superintendent of schools
of Murray county.
That a serious legal question has
been raised by Attorney Watkins as to
whether Berrien is technically guilty
of larceny after trust w r as indicated
frankly by Judge Humphries in over
ruling the motion for him to direct a
verdirt of acquittal.
“Your arguments have greatforce”
he said to Attorney Watkins, “but I
feel that I owe it to the state for the
jury to pass upon this issue.”
Considerable comment was heard ni
the state capital and elsewhere to
day regarding the difference between
the penalty imposed on Claude A.
West, formerly secretary to three
governors and R. N. Berrien, Jr.
West was accused and convicted of
a shortage of approximately $13,000
and received an indeterminate sen
tence ranging from seven to ewelve
years.
Berrien was accused of a dioriagc
of $40,000 and admitted on the stand
that he owned that amount, and was
given an indeterminate sentence rang
ing from three :o T.»e years.

that climbs high into the millions
that could be profitably and econom

factories to convert our raw mater

St. Petersburg, Fla., that every mem
ber begin to prepare to get his busl
ness in such shape that our club
would be represented by a 100 per
