THE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL VOLUME TWENTY-FIVE Department Warns Cotton Planters of Fake Weevil “Remedies” The present great interest in the boll weevil problems in the Southeastern States has resulted in a large number of patented preparations and machines which are being vigorously exploited, says the United States Depart ment’ of Agriculture. Thisis a repitition of what has occurrea in every region invaded by the boll weevil. During the firat few years the farmers are exploitedl and many useless or practically useless devises are sold to them.‘ In a few years, however, history shows that such organizations go{ out of business. Their operations' are especially important at the; present 'time since the losses | caused by the boll weevil will be increased by the expense of buy ing nostsums of various kinds. ‘The claims for these prepara tions are not based on scientific tests although in many cases the persons exploiting them are un doubtedly sincere in their belief that they will yield good resuits. To determine whether a remedy is -effective, it is necessary to haye control areas and to consid er the effects of numerous cul tural practices. It is very easy for an untrained observer to attribute to some preparation he has applied, the beneficial results of some variation in climatic or cultural factors. The Department of Agriculture and many of the State experi ment stations haye tested the new boll weevil remedies which have been proposed from year to year and many of those now be ing offered the public are not es sentially different from the kind that haye been tested and dis carded. The Association of Southern Agricultural Workersatits recent convention at Memphis consider ed the whole problem of boll weeyil control and, inaddition to certain cultural methods, it rec ommended the con. ideration of three remedies. ‘ This convention heartily en- FARM LOANS UNLIMITED 6 per cent Morey for Goods Farm Loans in Lee County. ‘. —SEE— 7 i - R.E L SPENCE Albany, .

The attendance of the Sunday School was 92 per cent present. Class No. 2, Mrs. Clarke teach er was 95 per cent present. ‘Those attending were Dorothy ‘Booker, Elma Jolly,Sara Cowart, ‘Mildred Childers, Eva Childers, ‘Ernestine Simpson. ~ Miss Susie Cowart and Mies ‘Margaret Chestnut was appoint ed to prepare an Easter program for April 1, 1923. There was one visitor, Miss Zona Bell. M‘ dorsed the use of the duslingi method in -areas where the yield of cotton i 3 high enough to war rant the expense. It also endor sed the Florida method for the region in which it has proven to be applicable, and further recom mended extensive tests of this method in other regions of light yields. In another paragraph it called attention to the fact that the molasses arsenate treatment, al though not yet subjected to suf ficiently detailed experimental tests to warrant its endorsement, kad apparently given results over a wide area that warranted fur ther consideration, and it there fore recommended thorough and immediate tests of this method by State and Federal agencies. The State and Government in stitations are anxious to help the farmers through the agency of any new methods of controlling the boll weevil which may be dis covered. As promptly as possible careful tests are conducted. The department strongly recommends that farmers exercise due caution in spending money for new boll weevil remedies. In all cases farmers should demand evidence of official tests and communicate with their experiment stations for detailed information regard ing any of the new remedies. If anything. of value is discovered by the State experiment stations or by the Federal Department, prompt and widespread notice of the fact will be given the public. In the meantime if is safe to say that in all probability any money spent for patented mixtures or machines will be wasted. _ Leesburg, Lee County Ga., Friday MARCH 30, 1923 Minutes of Commissioners 10NCr Meeting Januar g January Term 1923 GEORGIA—LEE COUNTY.

You often hear people say they are ¥oing to do ““thus and so’’ when their ship comes in. Did you ever stop to think that your ship will never come in until you send one out. You must build your ship in this world by industry and thrift, and it is not so hard after you once begin and get the habit, Which would you rather hear people:say of you: “‘yonder goes John Smith, who struck it lucky on a deal and cleaned up a pile,”’ or ‘‘yonder goes John Smith, the man of means, judgment and influence, who has made money by keeping steaaily at it and by saving what he has made—a man who does things?”’ What you would term a ‘‘lucky streak’’ only comes to one in a thousand, while we can all kecome indepen dent if we go about it in the right manner. : Let us help you on the way to independence.
