SOUTH GEORGIA HAS
LARGE COTTON CROP
Atlanta. Despite the boll weevil
fcnd the widely diversified farming
program now practiced in South Geor
gia, according to the monthly report
of Z. R. Pettit, bureau of crop esti
mates, U. S. Department of Agricult
ure, South Georgia farmers have
planted an increase of 15 per cent in
the cotton crop. The average con
dition in the counties traversed by the
A. B. & A. Railway was 67 per cent,
while the average condition in the
state was only 58 per cent-
On the subject of boll weevil dam
age Prof. Pettit says:
“The destruction wrought by boll
weevils last year was disastrous in
Georgia The central and most im
portant cotton districts were practi
cally wiped out. In 1922 the numbers
of weevil present early in the season
indicated a repetition if cotton were
planted. The Rrowers seeded down
their plantations and put them in corn
or allowed them to lie idle.
“South Georgia, on the other hand,
has become accustomed to and has
learned to fight him. The result is
that more cotton has been planted in
that section than in five or six years.
The net increase there is about 15 per
cent, while the state average is given
at 58 per cent. Some of the leading
South Georgia cotton counties show a
condition of as high as 81 per cent.
Turner county shows a condition of
75 per cent; Irwin county 81 per-cent;
Coffee county 73 per cent; and Pierce
county 71 per cent; while Thomas and
Colquitt counties show a condition of
68 per cent and 67 per cent respect
ively. It is pointed out here today
that while diversified farming has
taken a firm hold among South Geor
gia farmers, there is renewed activity
and interest in growing cotton, owing
to the fact that farmers, having learn
ed the lessons as advocated to success
fully combat the boll weevil, the eari
iness of the season and the easy cul
tivation of level land has encouraged
many farmers to plant an increased
acreage to cotton this year, and the
condition of the cotton crop this year
would seem to indicate that the South
Georgia farmer, while practicing a di
versified farming program, has also
learned how to grow cotton in spite
•of the boll weevil as well.”

:j ONT frighten a child.
II The future of every cliy, j;

11 world depends on the children of !;
1; today. In large measure the ;
jt ability and willingness of our Ut
il tie folk to make the world a bet

;> are treated kindly, properly o
{reared and taught the essentials
of a general education and In- <,
stilled with a desire to be of .j
service to their fellow men. ;j
This is a thought which should ;

I; tion of every parent, every teach- ;>
1 er, every minister and every oth- o
!i er Individual who in any manner ;
j! exercises an Influence on the ;

It Is exceedingly unfortunate, ||

It couragtous and abhor fear. It Is j!
a a very serious mistake to tell

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take a glass of
Salts to flush out Kidneys—
Drink plenty water.
Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
i they become overworked; get sluggish,
I ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body’s urinous waste
or you’ll be a real Bick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
Bick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
soui, tongue coated and you feel rheu
matic twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any phaimacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia. and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the agids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
i take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
j believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.
THE VIDALiA ADVANCE
IN MEMORIAM.
On May 26th, as the sun was rising
and all the world seemed to be in
bloom, the Heavenly Lather saw fit to
send the angel oi -death to the home
of Mr- Arthur Hamilton and carry
away in his arms of love the gentle
spirit of his dear companion, Mrs.
Cora Wardlaw Hamilton.
Mrs. Hamilton was born in 1889 and
was married to Mr. A. L. Hamilton
when quite a young lady, and to their
happy union was born three children,
Bessie, aged 12; Clyde, aged 8; and a
darling little infant which was buried
with its mother. The other two are
left with him, besides a host of rela
tives and sorrowing friends to mourn
her departure.
She was converted and joined the
Baptist church at Mt. Pisgah an-d
since that time she has lived a Chris
tian life, always trying to keep in
view the best things of life. While
we have lost a kind friend and a con
secrated Christian from our midst, we
feel sure she has gained a home in
the realms of eternity in the heavens.
She has said good-bye to friends and
loved ones here, but has gone where
good-byes and farewells are unknown
and where parting is no more.
To the broken hearted husband and
to the little girls who are so much in
need of a mother’s love and care, we
would say: Weep not, your loss is
her gain. Although it is hard to say
farewell to those we love so well, and
know we shall never see her face
again on earth nor hear her gentle
voice; the grave holds but the casket,
for the spirit has flown to a world ot
joy and happiness, where sorrow is
unknown. She has gone to a. better
world and is beckoning and bidding
her loved ones to come up higher to
a land of peace, where there is no
death-
We miss thee, in onr home, dear
mother, we miss thv tender care', our
home is dark without thee, we miss
thee everywhere.
On May 27th, after the funeral ser
vices, conducted by Rev. S. D. Walk
er, and in the presence of a great
number of relatives and friends her
precious form was laid to rest in the
Hamilton cemetery, covered over with
beautiful flowers placed by loving
hands, we left her to await the res
urrection morn, when we hope to
meet her again.
Husband and children, from your
crushed and bleeding hearts only be
lieve that so often the bitter cup is
pressed to the lips of the one the Fa
ther loveth best. May his everlast
ing arms be around vou to gently raise
vou above the clouds of darkness and
may God speak the words of peace,
and as the soft, sweet twilight hells
ring for each of you, you will see her
dear face and sweet smiles and hear
her welcoming vou to heaven.
God in his wisdom has recalled the
boon his love has given, and though
the bodv slumbers here, the soul is
safe in heaven.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.
My sympathy goes out
To the telephone girl;
She has so many calls
Her head’s in a whirl.
She has to be pleasant
To all people, you know,
Whether they are sweet
Or a bad temper show.
A man bawls her out,
When at his wife he’s sore,
And he rings the old phone,
Some ten times or more.
If theparty doesn’t answer,
Why, Central’s to blame;
And the way that he talks
Is a gosh darn shame.
And wifev gets peeved
When hubby is late,
And things tlfat she says
Are chock full of hate.
And if by mistake
The connection is broke,
The things that she says
Don’t sound like a joke.
Now, treat the phone girl
Like a human, you see
And the service you’ll get
Will fill you with glee.
So, all I can say—
In the midst of the whirl—
Is, my sympathy goes out
I , To the telephone girl.

SOUTH-EASTERN CROP
SUMMARY, JULY 1 TO 15
Following is the mid-monthly crop
summary for July 1-15, states of South
Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Al
abama, Florida and Tennessee:
Conditions favored plant growth du
ring the past fortnight. Much need
ed moisture became available for the
corn crop which was suffering in much
of the region. The situation is some-j
what spotted. More rain than was
needed fell in many localities, while
some are still in need of showers-
Corn—The corn crop is improving
materially, but is still below the av
erage. Yields promise to run from
twelve to eighteen bushels except in
Tennessee, which will go higher.
Cotton —Marked progress has been
made in the growth of the plant. It
is fruiting well and its appearance is
much better than two weeks ago.
Bolls are so-ming in the South. The
first open bolls are reported. Weevils
continue prevalent, attacking the
squares as they form. Farmers are
waging a strenuous battle, using treb
le the amount of calcium arsenate as
last season. The supply of arsenate
is very inadequate. The weevil is
now the determining factor, and the
situation is critical.
Tobacco—“ Shade” tobacco is in and
the quality and yields are better than
last year. Bright tobacco is being
harvested under fairly favorable con
ditions in Georgia.
Hay—lmprovement is noted in hay
crops, grasses and pastures. Cowpeas
are flourishing, but! there is much
complaint of the Mexican bean bee
tle attacking this crop.
Fruits —Florida and South Georgia
melon season is over- Middle Geor
gia and South Carolina commences.
Yields universally low. Rains have
improved outlook. Cantaloupe sea
son about over in main section. Peach
movement passes climax. Pear sea
son commences in Georgia and Florida.
Grapes are slightly improved. Apples
are good. Citrus fruit has improved
prospect. Groves now being pruned.
Vegetables—Sweet potato crop ex
cellent. Early. Commercial digging
commenced. Alabama and Florida
leading. Early Irish potato crop fin
ished except in upper limit of belt.
Total production double last season
in most of south-eastern states- Un
usual amount of cabbages, tomatoes,
pepers onions, etc., in all this terri
tory. Preparation for fall truck crop
now tinder way in Florida.
Peanuts—Short acreage becomes in
creasingly apparent, though condi
tions improve.
Sugar Cane —Much benefitted by
rains. Still too dry in spots.
Summary—On July Ist the crops
in the south-east had undergone a
very trying period and had just be
gun to recover. This improvement
continued over past two weeks, ex
cept in case of crops subject to spe
cial hazards. Cotton has improved
physically, but this is offset by in
creasing weevil damage.

WHY
DOES A BARBER POLE HAVE
STRIPES?
r X THE old days the barber used to
[ be the surgeon, or blood-letter, as
well as the shaver and cutter of
hair, for surgery in those times was
confined almost entirely to the re
moval of blood by means of a cut in
the arm or leg.
The round brass Tfall at the top of
his pole or sign was originally the
brass basin which he used for lather
ing his customers who desired to be
shaved and the pole Itself was the
staff which persons held while the
blood-letting was being done. The
ribbons (now painted stripes) repre
sented the bandages used during the
operation—the white one being the
bandage as it was first applied and
the red one that which was taken off
the wound after the patient was
through. As time went on, the func
tions of the barber were gradually
taken over by the medical profession,
hut his pole remains as a symbol of
his former glory.
