To Make Strong Fight
For Cotton Production
A cottor convention, bringing
together cotton, men, cotton
manufacturers, business men,
bankers and farmers of Goorfia,
South Carolina, North Carolina
and Alabama, probably will be
held at Augusta eatly in Decem
ber, it was announced here in.
cotton circles. |
The big meet, it is stated, will
be'called for the purpose of start”
ing a movement to restore cotton,
production in thé Atlantic states
to normal. Through proper
poisoning methods itis planned to
put the boll weevil, known as
the billion-dollar bug to rout.
In the opinion of cotton men
who have experimented in cotton
culture this year, the South will
be able to return to a normal
production of cotton next year,
if proper poisoning methods are
used. By doing this, the South,
according to cotton men here,
will be able to'doin one year or
little more what, under present
methods of cotton culture, it will
robably take five years or more.
Experts here declare that cot
ton has been produced this year
on a normal basis, and in some
instances as much as two and ¢
half bales to the acre have beer.
made by following government
instructions on poisoning..
Ferdinand Phinzy. chairman of
the executive committee of the
Augusta Exchange, has charge
of all details of the coming con
vention, the date for which will
be announced very soon.
Atlanta, which will send a big
delegation to the Augusta con
vention, has always been recog
nized as one of the . best cotton
markets in the South. Some of
the largest cotton merchants in
the business haye made Atlanta
their headquarters for many years
and all of the principal cotton
merchants of the country main
tain offices in Atlanta, thus in
suring a ready and stable market
for all grades of cotton at all
geasons of the year.
Atlanta has lacked one feature
only to complete its facilities as a
cotton market and that has been
the lack of ample warehousing
space, which is now to be sup
plied in the adequate ‘Candler
warehouses operated by the Cot
ton Storage Finance Company.l
These warehouses, the largest
and best constructed buildings in
the South for exclusive storage
purposes, cover 40 . acres of
ground. They are constructed
of concrete and built with a view
to fully protecting all kinds of
merchandise and with railroad
trackage to all warehouses.
With the opening of the big
warehouse, which was {aken
over by the government during
the war, cotton has come to At
lanta from all the cotton states,
making this city a competitive
point for all the large eonsumers
of raw cotion and a market at
all times equal to that at New
Orleans er Memphis’

IThe Present |
Educational Outlook
BY A. R. JORDAN. :
The new program must seek
the achievement of all three ob
jections, essential elementary!
knowledge, training and disciple;
civic intelligence and responsibi
lity and occupational and econo
mic intelligence and efficieney. .-
As a whole the first objective
is sadly neglected in our Ameri
can school system. All the child
ren of allthe people have not
been taught to read and write
their native language. Nearly
400,000 illiterates is the latest
report in Georgia. -
The Jast two objections men
tioned only 8 few favored school
are trying to develop civic and
Industrial, economie intelligence,
responsgibility and efficiency,
'lf we want to accomplish all
three of these objectives, we
must make radical_changes and
extensive enlargement in our
present school system, ;
The realization of all three de
pend absolutely upon competent,
teachers in sufficient numbers
and upon the devotion of all these
to the task in hand until it is
accomplighed. b
The achievement of civic in
telligence and Industrial-econo
mic intelligence demands an
appropriate: school organization
of its own; these objectives can
not be forced on the elementary
school. Elementary teachers
generally cannot be expected to
posess the necessary qualifica
tions, and even if they did, child
ren of elementary school age are
unequal to these achievement
which require the development
iment of mind and budy that
‘comes only with growing matu
rity of yonth.
The place then to begin the
last two is on secondary School
fully equipped with {eachers
trained in each line of work.
These schools cannot accomplish
the desired results until all adole
scent youth be required toattend,
just as they are required to at-|
tend the elementary schools.
This program will not enact
itself. Three thing are essential
to its realization. First of all
the people of America, the
thoughtful constructive leaders
of the people, must believe in it
and determine to have it.

Breeding of
Malarial Mosquitoes
Where do malarial mosquitoes
breed?
In water—in still water and in
pools and grasses edges of run
ning water,
How do these mosquitoes
breed? ' -
They lay their eggs on the sur
'face of the water. These eggs
float, and in a few days hatch in
to larvae, or ‘‘wiggla-tails.”
These live in the water, and in
time turn to pupae, or ‘‘tumbers’’
which | turn into mosquitoes.
There are four changes in the
development 'of mosquitoes just
as for butterflies; the eggs for
both; the larvae in place of the
caterpillars; the pupae in place
of the crysalis, and the mos
quitoes in place of the butterflies.
For mosquitoes all these changes
must take place in water, and for
Anopheles will take from 12 to 1§
days in summer weather—longer
in cool weather.
Can you tell the larvae of
Anopheles? (Malarial Mosquitoes)
Yes. The Anopheles larvae
lies'at the top of the water and
parellel to it, for all the world
like a basking pike. The larvae
of other mosquitoes hang from
the top, head downward. If the
latter are touched, they will al
ways dive. If the Anopheles
larvae is touched, while it may
dive it will generally ‘‘scoot”
backwards along the top of the
‘water. They are not a bit alike
and once seen no one will ever
mistake one from the other.
Isit important to ‘recognize
the larvae of Anopheles.
~ Yes; it is far more important
to recognize the larvoe of Anop
heles than the mosquitoes them
gelves, because this enables us to
find their breeding places and
hence to destroy them. -
In what kind of places do
Anopheles breed?
They prefer to breed in clean
water, in small, shallow, shady
pools with grassy edges; if with
grass growing in them so, much
the better. A marshy piece of
ground with many small pools,
among bull-rushes and sedge, is
an ideal place. The grassy edges
and quiet . pools formed by ob
struction on small streams are
}alstoavorite places, as are cattle
tracks. They have no objection
to running water unless running
swiftly. Some species breed well
in large ponds.
Do they breed in such places
only?
They occasionally breed in al
most any collection of water, un
less it is very foul; shallow wells,
water barrels, tin cans, etc.,
especially if they have leavesor
grass in themor the green algae,
“frog moss.”” Generally, how
ever, they avoid barrels, cans,
and other artificial contaifiers
unless they have grass, moss,
ete., in them.
’ How long must a pool last to
breed Anopheles?
Since it takes usually about 14
days for the egg to produce the
mosquito, if a collection of .water
dries up completely in less than
14days, it is not likely to breed
'Anopheles mosquitoes. 3

Hon. Joe Lawrence, editor of
the Ashburr (Ga.) Wiregrass
Farmer and the citizens of !5
progressive town of Ashburn a
surrounding section, are plaping.
to *'kill the fatted calf’’ for the
Third District Press Association,
which is scheduled to hold its
quarterly session at Ashburn,
Friday, October 27th.
Ashburn has entertained many
delegations from the Southeast
ern states and feasted visitors
from practically every section of
the United States in recent years..
Keen interest was shown in-the,
big development work the wire
grass section has undertaken
along diversified farming lines.
‘Now that the editors, who point
with pride to the “*Cream City of
Georgia,”” and will soon be on
their way to the town, there’s
a scurrying among the house
wives and people generally to
“‘put the big pot to boil.
‘ Others have come to Ashburn
and have partaken of our hospita
lity, but our arms will be a little
wider, our hearts a little warmer
and our welcome a little gladder
to the boys and girls that pus\h
the quill,’’ says Joe Lawrence,
editor extraordinary and the
prince of good fellows among the
newspaper fraternally.’ ‘The boys
and girls, we may call them
that—are children after our own
heart, their spirits flow in har
mony with ours and they will be
as welcome as the flowers in
May.” Mr, Lawrence says milk’
fed chickens will be on the menu.
