BOLL WEEVIL DOES NOT WRECK COTTON FARMER IN ONE YEAR Unusually Interestin g Addresses Delive red Tuesday at Chamber of Commerce - Oscar Haney in Charge Next Meeting Next Tuesday Mr. Oscar W. Haney, Cash ier of the First National Bank, will have charge of the next meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, on next Tuesday, at the Park Hotel, at 1 o’clock, Mr. J. W. Vaughan, president, announced at the conclusion of the meeting this week. Mr. Haney is now arranging his program, and th e fact that he has accepted this responsi bility, insures a most successful and delightful occasion next Tuesday. Featured by inspiring addresses by Dr. Charles W. Daniel, of Atlanta, and Mr. Russell, of the Extension Depart ment of the International Harvester Company, Tuesday's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was an espec ially interesting one. Dr. S. A. Harr:s_ presiding elder of the Dalton district, and well known aTid popular in Cartersville, was pres ent and he asked the blessing, being called upon by Mr. Jack J. Hill, who presided over the meeting in his usual happy manner. Dr. Daniel was in fine sp rit, and his remarks were as timely as they were interesting. He is spending a short time in Cartersville t conducting special services at the First Baptist church. Mr. Russell’s remarks were directed especially to .he necessity of farmers and merchants disabusing their minds of the probability of raising cotton successfully under boll weevil condi tions. He offered ns a panacea to the boll weevil ravages, the introduction of dairying on farms, assisted by poultry and hogs, which, when properly carried on. prove a never-end ng source of revenue and bring in money to the farmer every week and every month in the year. He facetiously remarked that the boil weevil had never been known "to mi'k'a cow or suck an egg." A farmer himself on a large scale in the Mississippi deltji country, Mr. Rus sell said he had been thoroughly con vinced that the boll weevil would lit erally ruin any farmer who tried long enough to raise cotton and fight the little pest. "I have seen whole fields devastated by the bol) weevil, and this despite the fact that we thought we had learned how to beat the boll weevil,” Mr. Rus sell declared. Continuing, he said: "Out of the fullness of my own experience, as well as the experience of thousands of other farmers who have tr.ed, but failed to beat the boll' weevil; let me urge you business men and farmers of Bar tow county to set your house in order, by stocking your farms with'dairy cat tle poultry and hogs, and make cotton strictl a side issue. “Unless you do this, I tell you that your county, like every other county that has tried to beat the boll weevil ly continually planting cottong, faces ruin, utter ruin.’’ POULTRY EXPERTS IN CARTERSVILLE Mrs. Ivy Jarrell, Mrs. Pearl Mullen, and Miss Edith Ellis will be in Carters vill for some time, making a sur\wy of the poultry raised in this vicinity. These ladies have made a special study of poultry culture and are pre pared to help poultry raisers in and around Cartersville on such problems as culling, feeding of moulting hens and other such poultry problems. While in Cartersville they will call on all poultry raisers to take up these important problems. ’ The enterprise of the planters’ Sup ply Company has made it possible for the poultry keepers to get (the benefit of the experience of these experts. Anyone who would like to have these ladies visit their poultry yards will only need to leave word to that effect at the office of the Planters Supply Company. OUTBUILDINGS DAMAGED. Mr. T. R.

GEORGE BETTS AT COURT HOUSE ON TUESDAY MORNING One of Georgia’s Most Distinguished Business Men Coming to Car tersville For Special Occasion. ’’Ready Cash—How to Get It" will be the subject of an address to be de livered at the court house in Carlers ville next Tuesday morning at 11 o clock, by Mp. George T. Betts, of Ashburn, Turner county, president of the Georgia Association, and one of the state’s most distinguished business men. To Mr. Betts, more than any other man, is given the credit for arousing the farmers and business men of Tur ner county to the imperatfve necessity of looking to other farm products than cotton, for their money crop. Asa result of these efforts, the far mers of Turner county are today en ' joying an unprecedented prosperity, the like of which they never experi enced before. Naturally, such a revolution in ag ricultural methods could not fail to at tract outside attention, and so great has this proven that Mr. Betts is being sought by farmers and business men in every section of the state to come and tell them how it was done in Turner county. Mr. Betts has agreed to come to Bar tow county, at the invitation of Mr. J. W. Vaughan, president of the Car tersville Chamber of Commerce. He will speak at the court house next Tuesday morning at 1 o’clock, and ev ery farmer and business man in the county can do nothing of more profit to themselves next Tuesday than to be present, and hear this wonderful story as Mr. Betts will unfold it in his prac itcal, common-sense address. He will speak upon the subject, “Ready Cash—How to Get It.” He will tell how the farmers and business men of his home county of Turner have really beaten the boll weevil, and have proven to their entire satisfaction that there i(i ready money, and lots of it, in other things besides cotton. Mr. Betts will not even suggest that the growing of cotton be abandoned, but will tell how bis people have solved the problem of growing some cotton, and finding room on every farm to have things that brir- them in cash every week, and over., month in the year. ' Knowing that Mr. Betts has a mes sage of vita] import for the farmers and business men of Bartow county, The Tribune-News has no hesitancy in stressing the great significance of next Tuesday’s meeting, and urging that a record-breaking audience be on band to greet the speaker when he begins his address at 11 o'clock. Large delegations are expected from Gordon. Floyd, Paulding, Cobb and Cherokee counties, as well as even greater distances, because, it is point ed out, Mr. Betts has a message of the greatest possible import, particularly at this time, when farmers, business men and citiz'ens generally are face to face with the greatest cris.’s N ever con fronhnig the people of Northeast Geor gia.

Bartow Countians Thrilled at Chicks • 'v In Carroll County 0 Fifteen farmers and business men left Cartersville early Monday morn ing, on a trip to Carroll county, by way of Marietta, Austell, Lithia Springs, Douglasvllte and Villa Rica. Here they were met by the County Agent, E. T. Jackson, of Carroll County and were introduced to several poul try raisers at this place. The first visit was made to the home of Mr. A. AVhite, a one horse farmer, living near Villa Rica. He had nine hundred and fifty White Leghorn hens, ;n two buildings; five hundred in one building, four hundred and fifty in the other. The buildings were 112 feet long and sixteen feet wide, built out of very cheap material. This man bought the first lot of baby chicks ever shipped into Carroll County, some ■ten years ago. Since then, he has kept an average of one thousand hens a year; does all the work himself, and looks after the farm. For the past six years, this man has kept his chick ens in the houses, summer and winter. His brother, lives near him, has the same number of chickens. They have a contract for selling eggs in Atlanta at 45 cents per dozen, the year around. Their surplus eggs they get in the spring, they put on cold storage, and sell in the fall and winter. This man makes his mash feed out of the following;— 100 pounds bran. 100 pounds shorts, 100 pounds corn meal, 25 pounds alfalfa meal, and 25 pounds ment scraps, and buys the scratch feed already mixed. His feed bill is $l5O per month, and he is aver aging five hundred eggs per day. The next stop was made at Felix Williams and sisters. They have 300 Barred Rock hens, and 50 pure bred Jersey cows. Thpy are milking the cows, and doing all the work on the farm. He has a contract for selling whole milk and cream to the Georgian Terrace Hotel in Atlanta. He delivers the milk 38 miles each morning. Ten years ago, when feed was cheap, they started with five cows, and made some money. They bought unjii their herd wasf fifty cows, and went broke, be cause they had a number of cows that did not pay their feed bill. They put the cows on a test, culled out these cows, and kept only the best producers In 1919, when cotton went so high, he sold all of his cows, and went broke again. He stated that 5011 may feel like that your cows are not paying you moneys but after getting a ijlilk check each month and then turn over to cotton, nO matter what price, you are to be seriously hurt financially. They now have fifty pure bred cows, and a Jersey bull that he paid SI,OOO for They are pumping water for the barn and their home use, with a little hyd raulic ram that has been working for twenty years. The next stop was made lit the Bermuda Grove Egg Farm, w. H. Kinney, owner and manager. He has 2,000 White Leghorn hens in a house 100x30. At ths place, things were so neat and clean and roomy and pleasant that the party wanted to spend the whole day. Where he had his poultry building, to acres was fenced in, and the chickens had free range. In the month of February, he got 24,840 eggs, and sold them for $724.50. His feed was $272.60’, and labor $30.00 making a total cost of $302-60. Profit, $421.90. Mr. Kinney stated that his highest egg production was in April, an i lowest in November, and his hens laid enough in November to pay the feed bill. He is buying ready mixed scratch, and mixing the following for tnash: 200 pounds corn-meal, 100 pounds shorts, 100 pounds bran, 100 pounds meat scraps, four pounds sal . one and one half gallons charcoal. He bought his baby chicks from Alaibama Leghorn Farm. Ensley, Alabama. He has three thousand bought, to be de livered the 4th of March. Mr. Kinney is a man that ,reads and stud’es, and his farm work shows that lie is not only interested in growing chickens, but also in improving his farm. Three years ago, he produced 1100 bushels of oats off of 15 acres of land, but he was so enthusiastic over the poultry game, that he had one t me teen into th# dairy work, but has sold his cows, and using his main en ergies in producing eggs. The next stop was male at the farm of R. N. Eady, and son W. C. Eady. They have 800 White Leghorn hens A Barca in Clubbing Offer The Tribune-News. South ern Ruralist. McCall’s Mag azine.

They are now getting 500 eggs per day from the 800 hens. The r feed bill is about SIBO per month, and they feed Ballard's prepared feed. Mr. Eady has a two stofy poultry house, built out of good material painted, painted, at a cost of about SIOO. He has a brooder house, papered inside and out, with 3 Simplex Oil Burner Stoves in his brooderhouse. This house is dlv ded into sections, sixteen feet square. One important thing with all these poultry men, they were very particular about a stranger getting among their chick ens, or themselves getting the chickens the least bit excited, for they had found from experience, lb order to get good egg protection, a hen must not be Bearish. The party then drove over to Car rollton, with the county agent, and got lunch. Part of the party visited the farm of Mr. Bascomb. who had 700 White Leghorn hens, which were laying about 450 eggp per day. He had 1,500 baby chicks, a week old. He was feeding to his baby chicks and the old hens, Conky’s feed. Mr. N. F. Dozier, who met the party in Villa Kica and had been with the party al] day, then carried the entire party to his home, in Carrollton. There is not a farm in Bartow County that cound not make around his barn that Mr. Dozier had not made around his. to care for his hens. The only build ing that he had done to care for 400 he; s had been to build him a brooder (Continued on Last Page.)

Lunatic Guardianship Clause passed Up in Court Ruling The following account of a supreme court decision, involving the famous Dr. T. H. Baker estate ease, will be read with especial interest in this sec tion: The supreme court of Georgia Satur day on one eourit reversed and on an other upheld the lower court in tiie case of Smith et al. vs. Garrison, from Fulton superior court, but failed to pass upon the constitutionality of the statute providing for the appointment of guardians *or lunatics, which the lower court had ruled to be unconstitu. tlonal. The suit involved two counts, one against Mrs. Knthlene Baker Smith, as administratrix and the other against M. B. Smith, individually, the latter count being based upon the assertion that she illegally held her post as ad ministratrix of the estate ot a deceased lunatic. The lower court rendered a verdict for Garrison on the ground that the act of 1918 providing for appointment of guardians for lunatics was unconsti tutional. That point the supreme court ruled to be of no force; held that the court erred in overruling a demurrer in the suit against Mrs. Smith, the adminis tratrix; held that the court erred in appointing a received for the estate df the deceased lunatic; upheld the de cision of the court in its decision on the first count; and upheld the court in refusing to strike the petition. Unusual interest centered in the case because of the unexpected ruling on the constitutionality of the law providing for appointment of guardians for lu natics.
