GEORGIA COTTON
CROP M POOD.
C. S. BUREAU OF AGRICULTURAL
ECONOMICS SAYS PROSPECT
THIS YEAR IS POORER THAN IN
ANY STATE EXCEPT SOUTH CAR
CLIN A.
ATLANTA. Ga.—The cotton pros
pect In Georgia is poorer than in any
state according to the correspondents
of the United States Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics, though the ad
joining state of South Carolina ip in
much the same situation. The con
tinuous rains during the early
part of June prevented cultivation,
Induced growth of grass, and leach
ed out much of the fertilizer. Before
the farmers were able to get the fields
clean the weevils were found in such
large number that many farmers
gave up The battle and turned to other
crops. This proportion was large
enough to be the decisive factor in
making the Georgia acreage less
than last year.
Georgia Acreage 4,129,000
While all other states show a re
turn to normal acreage of cotton,
Georgia and South Carolina show re
ductions, principally on account of
the bolts weevil. The destruction
wrought last year was disastrous. In
Georgia the central and most import
ant cotton distridt was practically
wiped out. In 1922 the number of
weevils present early in the season
indicated a probable repetition if cot
ton were planted. The growers “seed
ed down" their plantations, put them
1n corn, or allowed them to lie idle.
South Georgia Increases Acreage
South Georgia ou the other hand
has become accustomed to the weevil
and learned to fight him. Tho result
is that more cotton hap been planted
in that section than in five or six
years. The net increase there is
about fifteen per cent.
North Gerogia, with the exception j
of a few mountain counties, shows ;
decrease. Here the planting was
limited by rain and soil conditions.
The Georgia cotton crop will be be
low any in the last twenty years with
the possible exception of last season.

GEORGIA GOOD ROADS
ASSOCIATION
ATLANTA, Ga., —The conference of
the highway committees of the Geor
gia Senate and House of Representa
tives, when they heard arguments by
representatives of the Georgia GoocJ
Roads Association in favor of a bond
issue, has been followed by the gen
erally expressed opinion of the legis
lators that a bond issue of some size
will certainly be voted by the gener
al assembly ancJ laid before the voters
at the November election. Just what
amount will be decided upon is still
in doubt, but it is agreed that any
amount which will enable the state
to match the federal fund and give
Georgia a real start in state highway
bulb ing will lie a long step forward.
“We feel convinced that once the
people of Georgia begin to get sam
ples’ of real roads in their counties,
they will not lie satisfied until other
good roads are built", said one of the
bond advocates. “AncJ when the first
bond issue proves that it will pay for
itself without additional taxation,
other will follow.”
When the bond issue amendments
are adoptee. 1 the Georgia Good Road?
Association will carry on a campaign
of education throughout the state to
prove to the voters that permanent
roads will be bull by bonds without
additional cost to tax payers, the gas
oline taxes and motor license fees
meeting the bills. The Association
expects the expenses of this campaign
to he shared by the thousands of men
and women who have the good roads
cause at heart and invite all such
persons to join the Association and
add their five dollars annual member
ship fee to this campaign fund. Mem
bership applications with checks may
lie sent to William E. Keith, Secre
tary, No. 205 Waflton Building, Atlan
ta. A large and representative mem
bership will not only provide a suffi
cient fund, but add a tremedous In
flence in favor of the passage of the
bond amendments! in the November
olection.
TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
Bladder troubles you—Salts is
fine for Kidneys.
Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains iu the back or sick headache, diz
ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body’s urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.
THE VIDALIA ADVANCE
NEGRO LABOR IS WANTED
WORK BEGINS ON TUGALO DAM
I When work begin on pouring the
concrete for the gigantic dam that is
to pan the Tugalo River in the latest
development of the Georgia Railway
I & Power Company, from 800 to 1,000
laborers needed for this work will
fine a magic town awaiting for their
occupancy until the work is complet
ed.
The town is buit in a veritable wil
derness, but lit has everything but
paved streets that city civilization
boasts, and in addition there is the
cool, stimulating mountain air, the
breezes that blow through the hills
through the summer, and the most
picturesque secenry that the South
can claim.
The labor employed at the Tugalo
Development will he largerly negro
ant the town built for the negro lab
orers is declared to be a model of
sanitation, comfort and convenience.
Broad streets mark the settlement,
which is located on the crest of a hfh
overlooking the rushing Tugalo, and
gradually sloping down to the scene
of the work. On either side of the
street are the cottages for the labor
ers. They are of several siizes. There
are the smaill habitations for the
bachelors and there are larger ones
for the workmen who bring their
families along. The bringing of fam
ilies is encouraged by the Company
in order that the laborer will be per
manetly satisfied.
Each house is electric lighted, as
are the streets. Provisions are made
so that each family can c'o Its own
cooking, but in addition to that there
are two mess halls operated under
Company supervision in the town. In
these mess halls the laborers are
bountifully fed for 29 cents a meal,
and despite the appetites engendered'
by the work and the mountain air,
those on the job say there is always
plenty.
In order to make conditions as near
ly like city conditions as possible,
there is a movie show operated each
night for the workers ancJ during the
off hours there is splendid opportun
ity for fishing with an ideal trout
stream within stepping distance of the
town.
A feature of the town is the store
operated by the Company, where the
workmen may obtain any of the city
luxuries from a bottle of sodapap to
a gallon of gasoline for their automo
biles. that is if any of the laborers
have automobiles.
The Company keeps a physician on
duty at the town all the time, nor is
the religious life overlooked. Church
services are held regularly in the
movie house, while there are frequent
camp meetings on the banks of the
river.
Each house is made of dressed lum- j
her, sawed at the Company’s own mill
from timbers right at hand. The
houses are furnished and are given
the laborers free of charge. The
Company also gives the illumination.
It Is expected that the concrete
pouring will begin about July 15th.

SENT DIRECT FROM JUPITER
Ancient People* Had Odd Belief Con
cerning Otherwise Unaccount
able Shower of Frogs.
Showers of frogs must have beon
common enough in ancient Greece,
seeing that Aristotle gives them a par
ticular name. Alluding to the pre
vailing Idea of his time, which sup
posed them to come from Heaven, he
culled them messengers of Jupiter.
Two carefully observed instances in
modern times have especially wrought
conviction among the learned.
The first nas attested by a whole
company of soldiers, who during the
French Revolution, were on a march
towards the north of France. In the
open country they were assailed by
a shower of little toads which were
dashed In their faces, falling with
torrents of water. Astonished at such
an unwonted attack, and desirous of
satisfying themselves as to whether
this living shower came from above,
the soldiers spread out their handker
chiefs on a level with their heads,
and found they were soon covered.
After the storm, the astonishment
was general when the soldiers saw
this unexpected brood leaping about In
the folds of their cocked hats.
The second well-attested shower of
toads fell In 1834, In the town of Ham,
In Germany, when the streets, roofs
and gutters were Immediately filled
with a great number of these yoong
creatures.
HAD HIGHEST SOCIAL IDEAS
Marriage Relations Among Early As
syrians Subjected to the Strictest
Code of Human Laws.
Marriage relations among the early
Assyrians were subject to a strict code
of laws, It is now learned from a val
uable cultural document made ac
cessible to the scientific world in a
German translation of the cuneiform
text preserved in the Asiatic division
of the Berlin Ethnographical museum.
The early Assyrian lawmakers had
this code inscribed on a set of clay
tablets, unearthed during the excava
tions of the German Asiatic society in
Mesopotamia. By comparing this find
with other prehistoric documents, the
date of these tablets has been estab
lished around 1100 B. C., which would
coincide with the reign of Tiglat-Plle
sar I.
The rights and duties of married
women and the punishments imposed
for the infringements of these laws,
and as the marital relations of a na
tion have always been regarded as a
reliable barometer of its culture, this
discovery throws an interesting light
upon early Assyrian social conditions.
Fuses Prevent Fires.
When an electric current flows
through a wire it makes the wire
warm, explains Popular Science. Dif
ferent materials resist the flow to dif
ferent - extents and are accordingly
heated to different degrees. Fuse wire
is made of an alloy containing a large j
proportion of lead, which gets very
warm when large currents pass |
through it. Furthermore, since this
alloy melts easily, the current, if large :
enough, may cause the fuse wire to
melt.
Wherever current is being consumed
in the* house or factory, a piece of fuss
wire is put somewhere in the circuit.
If through accident or design too much
current should be used, the fuse wire
will melt, or, as is usually described,
“blow,” and stop the flow of current
before the copper wire inside the walli
can heat up and set tire to the house,
The Telescope.
Tradition lias it that about the ho
ginning of the Seventeenth century on<
Jansen, a spectacle maker of Middle
burg, Holland, constructed a telescopi
about 16 inches in length, which he ex
hibtted to Prince Maurice and the
Archduke Albert, who, appreciating the
importance of the discovery, paid him
a sum of money to keep it concealed
Another spectacle maker, Lippershej
made application in 1008 to the states
general for a patent for a telescope
as also did Metius, a professor of math
ematics, but in the former instance, at
least, It was refused, as the apparatus
was already known. It seems certain
that the instrument was known more
or less about Europe, but the honor ol
its invention usually Is given to Galileo,
who was the first to describe the in
strument and exhibit it in complete
form in May, 1601).
Instinct of Prairie Dogs.
Prairie dogs seem to have some
kind of foreknowledge of the weath
er, if observers at tlie New York Zoo
logical park are right. Now and then
the large members of the colony loosen
the earth rouud their niounas with
their forefeet, then shovel the soil up
ward with their hind feet. Other
members work inside the burrow,
throwing out earth to aid in the build
ing. When a dyke has been built, the
animals tamp the earth down with
their heads —an amusing sight. As
these operations invariably take place
before a strain, the obvious purpose is
to build a dam that will keep the wa
ter from running Into the burrow.
No Standard of Weight.
The bureau of railway economics
says there Is no standard for the
weight of a railroad rail. This depends
entirely on the trattic the particular
road Is handling. Usually rails are
not measured by the foot, hut hy the
yarn. Formerly railroads used the
SG-pound rail per yard, but now most
roads use the 100-poui 1 rail. The Vir-
