BUYING WEEVILS FROM
TENANTS FOR CASH
In the office of Dr. R. J. Kennedy,
county commissioner, last week we
noticed a small tin box in which
there reposed something having the
appearance of green -tea one buys
from the grocery store. The doctor
explained that the content was dead
boll weevils he had bought from the
farmers on his place near Clito. As
compared with dry tea, the package
appeared to weigh about one-fourth
of a pound. Dr. Kennedy stated
that there were 1,700 dead weevils in
the lot, and that they cost him $8.50
in cash. He explained that he had
made a standing offer of one-half cent
each for dead weevils brought in by
his tenants, and that the plan was
satisfactory and economical. These
1,700 weevils had been captured on
one of his farms, and was the re
sult of several days careful work by
the children of his tenant. He be
lieved the price was very reasonable
and far more efficacious than an
equal sum spent for boll weevil medi
cine of any kind. On another of
his farms almost adjoining, he said
less than two dozen weevils had been
captured.
Dr. Kennedy wishes it understood
that he is not offering half a cent
each for all weevils brough him. He
is buying only those raised on his
farm, and he hopes to buy only a few
of them: the fewer the better.

’I! ASS OF SALTS
Cm KIDNEYS
if your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat
■ |
When your kidneys hurt and your back
'cels sore, don’t get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body’s urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
mal activity. The function of the kid
nevs is to filter the blood. In 24 hours
they barain from it 500 grains of acid
. •id vasts, so vve can readily understand
■ e vital importance of keeping the kid
::eys active.
Drink lots of Yvater—you can’t drink
: ■ much; also got from any .pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithiat and has Wen used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid- '
neys; also to neutralize the acids in i
urine so it no longer is a source of irri- j
taticn, thus ending bladder weakness. j
Tad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- j
jure; makes a delightful effervescent !
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no ■
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache.
THE VIDALIA ADVANCE
t
BEDDING DISEASED SWEET
t POTATOES
, Where black rot attacks sweet po
i tatoes in storage it produces com
paratively small sunken black spots,
i which appear inoffensive to the in
experienced man preparing potatoes
for bedding. When a nice potato with
a.small spot is found he is inclined
to cut the spot out and put the pota
to in the bed. Often, too. very smatl
. spots were cut out and the sound
enced men.
To determine the results that may
be expected in such cases, an experi
ment has been conducted at the Geor
gia Experiment Station in which only
rotted potatoes were bedded. The po
tatoes were divided into four lots. In
lot 1 the spots were cut out, and the
sound part of the potato was then
soaked ten miutes in corrosive sub
limate solution (1 tz. to 8 gafllons of
I water), and bedded. In lot 2 the
spots were cout out and the sound
»
portion bedded at once without treat-
I ment. In Lot 3 the spotted potatoes
I were soaked ten minutes in the cor
, rosive sublimate solution, and then
bedded. In Lot 4 they were bedded
without any previous treatment.
The danger from using such pota
toes for bedding, lies in the fact that
. the fungus which produces black rot
also attacks the roots and stems of
t the young sprouts and is carried to
I the field, where It not only damages
this season’s crop but also infests the
| soil and remains there In the soil for
, years to come.
Recently the dlips were pulled from
this experimental bed and the number
of clean and of diseased slpis from
each lot was counted. Lot 1 produc
ed 557 slips of which 32 or 6.4 per
cent were diseased. Lot 2 produced
358 slips of which 191 or 53.3 per
cent were diseased. Lot 3 produced
407 slips of which 72 or 17.7 per cent
were diseased. Lot 4 produced 472
slips of which 195 or 41.3 per cent
were diseased.
It will be seen that treatment with
corrosive sublimate solution greatly
reduced the amount of disease, and
> .cutting out the spots before treatment
: again reduced the disease more than
1 half; but at best some slips were dis
eased in all cases. It does not seem
> practicable to produce clean plants
from diseased seed potatoes, which
* emphasizes former recommendations
! that aill potatoes showing the small
: spot be discarded from bedding stock.

APATHY OF PUBLIC
CAUSE OF CRIME
Law Enforcement Advocates Assert
That Great »cd Now Is To In
crease Respect For Law.
ATLANTA, Ga., —That there is an
alarming increase in crime through
out the country is so obvious that no
asseveration or argument is necessary
to obtain an admission of the fact, ac
cording to law enforecment advocates
in Atlanta. This increase in crime
is largely, if not wholly, the inevit
able outgrowth of a prevalent indif
ference on the part of the people at
large toward smaill infractions of the
law, these advocates assert.
Violations of the law in small things
and evasions of the letter and spirit
of the law on the part of well-mean
ing citizens who consider themselves
above the average in the matter of
respect for the law too often encour
age the vicious and lawless element
of society to venture into the com
mission of crime; for it is but a short
step from a slight evasion of law to
open violation of the law, it is declar
ed.
It is admitted in Atlanta that the
Georgia League for the Enforcement
of the Law through the Constituted
Authorities, composed of leading citi
zens of the state, has accomplished
great good in building up a better sen
timent for law and order. In more
than a score of counties already—
though the movement was started on
ly a few weeks ago, law enforcement
leagues have been formed with large
and enthusiastic memberships.
Respect For AH Laws
Attention is not given to prohibi
tion violations, as was first supposed.
This, it is vointed out, is merely Inci
dental. Its enegies are directed to
ward respect for the law in general,
and the members seek the betterment
of conditions in general, and infract
ions of existing laws of every kind
are condemned.
According to members of the law
enforecement leagues what seems to
be needed now to bring about more

respect for law and a consequent dl
■ minution of crime is the exercises of
spirit of voluntary compliance with
law. They point out that so long as
small infractions of the written law
of the land are winked at by lany con
siderable number of the people of a
given community, there wll be those
who will venture Into open violations.
Under such conditions, they contend,
it becomes difficult to enfroce the
law, and crime soon becomes rampant.
"It is the duty of every parent and
good citizen to teach due regard for
the law in the home”, declared a prom
inent member of the Law Enforce
ment League here today.“ The habit of
obeying the law is one which should
be cult! rated not only In the family
but in he community at large aDd
not until those who fail duly to res
pect law are made to feel that they
are under the ban of good society,
can we hope to make any material
progress fn the way of suppressing the
wave of crime which seems to bo
sweeping over the country.”
