THE SCHOOL LUNCH—
Qivo .your children their chance to
have strong bodies, roB.v cheeks, good
brains and bright eyes. The right food
may moan this. Wrong fond, too little,
‘too much, or wrong kinds, hurts tho
child’s chance of being tho strong boy
or girl you want. Dlotnry habits for
school boys and girlB Include—
1, A regular meal schedule, and food
forbidden nt all other times. Never al
low tho child to go to school without a
warm breakfast. Wnrm food promotes
easy nnd rapid digestion.
2, Use good, wholesome, mild-flnvored
foods. Tho child’s aonBC of taste is keen
in early years, anil highly flavored foods
spoil the nppotlte for the common,
ivholcsomo food.
:i. Remember, tho child needs protein
—tho body-building mntorial found 111
-eggs and milk. Mont should be used
sparingly.
4. Do not forget that the child needs
■vegetables. Dried beans, pens ami co-
reals are good also,
5. Sweets should not bo used between
meals, but are wholesome in moderate
amounts nt the end of the meal.
0. Rich pastries nnd fried foods should
not bn used.
7. Drink plenty of milk. A quart, in
li dny’s dietary for each person under
Hi is n good rule.
8. Drink plenty of water and eat
slowly.
t). Bncoumgo the child to like o\cry
thing—that is, to on joy good, wholwumo
food.
Each child should have his own eon
tniner for tho school lunch. It dioilil
lie such that it may be ousilv kept
'clean, well ventilated, and easily car
ried. One of the best is n bucket, which
hns been punctured so ns to allow for
ventilation. Nail-holes may bo put in
■bottom, top and sides and the rough
iiobh hammered down. A thermos bottle
Is convenient, and when you think of
the number of times tho child -a "ics
'dinner to school it is not expensive.
Hore arc some, suggested bills of faro
for the puckoil lunch: A bottle of
milk, chopped giooti peppor sandwiches,
peanut sandwiches, (ground parched,)
hard-boiled eggs, crisp biscuit, radishes,
.icily sandwiches, nut. broad with butter,

PLOW UNDER STALKS AND BEAT
WEEVIL.
Moultrie, On., Oct. 15.—Since the re
cent rains Colquitt county farmers have
started work plowing in cotton stalks
as part of their .plans to combat the
ravages of the boll weevil m;xt year
County Agent Stratford started n cmii
pulgn several weeks u go with a view to
getting us ninny farmers ns possible to
destroy their stalks, citing Government
figures to show the ndvontngcs that
would follow such a step. He declared
'flint Government tests have shown Hint
when 3,000 boll weevils wore forced into
winter quarters on Oct.. 1, only 27 of
them (less tlinii one per cent.) lived
through the winter. Of 3,000 force
into winter quarters Oct. 15. 148 sur
vived; when 3,000 hud their feed taken
away from them Nov. 1, 204 lived
through the winter.
A large number of Colquitt county
farmers haw been destroying their cotton
'.stalks, mid many of them have assorted
that it is the best known method of
fighting the bull weevil.
■ J. A. Williams, one of the biggest
•planters in Colquitt county, had his
.-stalks plowed in last year and lie made
a bale of cotton to the acre. No weevils
'made their appearance iu liis fields until
the pest began its late annual summer
flight. Mr. Williams owns n large
farm, ami, of course, freed n large ter
ritory. Iu tliis connection Mr. Stratford
.-declared that a small ffiruwr. cannot ac
complish much unless lie can get his
neighbors to join in the movement.. He
said, however, that reports reaching his
office showed that farmers in all sec
tions of the .county were entering
whole-lienrjedly into the plan-
A home run at home is worth two ou

FREE INFORMATION IN AID OF
BOLL WEEVIL CONTROL.
To the Cotton Planter: Tho whole
South is today interested in the matter
of how to chock the ravages of tho boll
weevil. You have . doubtlesH read ^ the
paper prepared by Prof. B. R. Goad,
issued from tho Delta Laboratory, Tal
lulah, Louisiana, under date of July 6,
1021, on 11 efficacy of poisoned molas
ses mixture for the control of the boll
weevil. ”
This paper is woll worth a enreful
perusal by every cotton planter in the
South, inasmuch as it stands out prom
inently as the first real authoritative
statement on the use of molasses or
syrup ns a base for applying the weevil
poison in tills form,
I am (anil linvo been for some time
past) preparing mi exhaustive treatise
in pamphlet form for free distribution
among the cotton planters of the South.
Turing the observations of Prof. B. R.
Coad and other entomologists ns the
liasis of my investigations, I think ull
newspapers nnd fnrm magazines in the
cotton belt should reprint my treatise,
which gives detailed information for
mixing syrup and molasscH and calcium
niHOnule, and how it is applied to ob
tain the best results, according to my
general research nnd conclusions; when
it should be applied and how often, etc
My treatise will contain all the Into re
portp, including tho above-mentioned ro-
port of Prof. B. R, Cond, (which will be
given in full,) and excerpts from U. S,
Dopnrtmont of Agriculture bulletins,
papers and pamphlets.
I am distributing this pamphlet lib
eoluteiy free nnd nt my own oxpense
to the cotton planters, and only ask'
that they send their names nnd a-1
dresses on a postal curd, nnd also the
names of other planters who may visii
to bo informed on the subject of “Boll
Wcovils nnd How to Control Thera."'
Syrup (or molasses) nnd calcium nrsc-
nntc will do tho work, if properly Imndlod
nnd uppiiod,
Tho crowning fault of the average
planter is indifference; lint present con
ditions nro fnst awakening them, nnd
I want his treatise on the subject of de
stroying weovils to reach every cotton
planter in the South within the next
three months. As I expect to semi out
literature from time to time, I want my
mailing list to include every l'urinor in
Dixie. Address postal curd or write

IS THE NEGRO RACE DYING OUT?
The following lines arc from the July
statistical bulletin Issued by one of the
lending life insiirnscu companies;
“Tho colored population of the United
States increased at n lesser rate during
tho last decade than ever before. The
increase whs only 0.5 per cent, during
the lust ten years. As the rate of in
crease in this raco hus declined during
the InBt three decades, the question may
lie naked how soon will tho colored popu
lation reach a point where there is no in
crease nt nil? As there is very little
emigration or immigration of the colored
people, tho condition of the population
increnso depends entirely on the relation
of tho birth rate to the death rate. We
have been in the habit of looking upon
the colored people as a highly prolific
race, and this was undoubtedly true dur
ing the slnvery period and for several
dorados thereafter. Today they are not
fur from the point where tho number of
birtliB and doutliB will be almost identi
cal. Whnt has caused this change in the
situation 1
“Unfortunately, we do not'have all
of tho facts to give a completo answer
Birtli registration among the colorod
people is far from complete, and such
figures ns we linve cover only recent years.
Yet, such us they are, they show very
clearly a marked decline in the birth
rate. Tills tendency iB also evident
among the whites, but there is as yet
no marked decline in the rate of nat
ural Increase. This is because tho de
cline in.the birth rate among the whites
lms been compensated by a very marked
declino in tho death rate. While the
birtli rate among the colored rffee is now
about the same as among the whites, the
death rate is very much higher. In fact, in
mnny areas it is twice as high,
tho most unfortunate tendency, from the
standpoint of race increase which is man
ifested among tilie colored people, is
their crowding into citicH where condi
tions apparently are adverse to their
multiplication, I nv 1910 the ratio of
births to deaths among the cojbred peo
ple in tlie cities was 104 to 105, ,whereas
in the rural part of the registration area
it was 151),
“The evidence is very eloar that what
the colored people need more than any
thing elso for their racial preservation
iB the development of good publio health
work among thorn. Their death rate from
tuberculosis of ttie lungs is about twice
ns high as among whites; among their
adolescent boys nnd girls it is about
ten times as high ns among whites of
tho same ages. Tho high infant mortal
ity rate among the colored population
strikes deep nt their rate of increase. ’
HAS THE ROOSTER QUIT CROW-
ING?
Telfair Enterprise.
A. large number of residents of this
community have sort of laid down on
the job because business hns been slight
ly “depressed." You never heard of u
cock that didn’t crow juBt because it.
was a dark nnd cloudy morning.
We, ns merchants, as professional men,
hb newspnper men—us business men, if
you plense—have got to do the crowing.
We cun’t nfford to bide our csndle under
a straw-stuck. You, and tliiB newspnper,
and merchants, nnd professional men,
are the men who must kcop up the spirits
of tlie depressed.
It’s another case of the power of sug
gestion. Do you think we would have
won tlie World War if some of tlie men
and womou hadn't stayed at home and
kept suggesting, financially and orally
and publicly, that we were able to Jo it?
We lmve got to keep right on fighting,
or admit that wo are defeated.
Let’s imitate tlie rooster, who crows
every morning, regardless of conditions.
Lot’s make things hum in tills communi
ty—and the only way to do it is to
make ourselves believe wo can.

o
Mr. W. E, Morgnn, one of the coun
ty’s most enterprising young farmers,
is making an excellent crop of cotton on
his place, 3 miles southeast of town, and
attributes I113 good yield to the fact that
lie kopt the fallen squares picked up in
his fields. Mr. Morgan will harvest 11
bnles off 12 acres, which is a remarkable
yield, considering the prevalence of the
weevil and other factors which have been
detrimental to the growing of'cotton.—

CHANGE
AN
A HANDICAP INTO
ADVANTAGE.
Progressive Farmer,
Why lire Northern and Western lands
ichor than Southern? Largely because
Northern soils (I) suffer from washing
in summer, and (2) lmve their fertility
locked up in winter, In frozen soils
vegetable matter is not decaying and ni
trogen is not locnhing out.
On the othor halul, with our wnrm,
open winters in the South, the soil-fer
tility is not locked up. Tlie touching or
draining off of fertility goes on con
stantly. Tlie consequence is that jut
average Southern funner wlion lie bn-aW
his land in spring finds it poorer than
it was when lie finished harvesting the
previous fall. This iB not true of tlie
Northern farmer;
But. thoro is mi old proverb that “the
lmir of the dog is good for the bite.”
And this is precisely tlie case with re
gard to tills matter of tlie South’s win
ter climate nnd its relation to soil for
tuity.
The wnrm, open winters do cause our
fortuity to loach out when wo linve no
cover crops on tlie land, nml therefore
make us losers ns compared with the
Northern funner whose fortuity is lock
ed up by ■ freezes. But- thoro is another
side of tlie picture.
All thnt the Northern fnrmor can do
in winter is to hold on to the fertility
he lias. On tlie other hand, when, we
Southern farmers put cover crops on our
soils wo cannot only hold the fertility
wo already have—which ia all the North
ern farmer can do—but. we can also
greatly iucronse soil fertility, which tho
Northern farmer cannot do.
Iu other words, hero is the situation:
(t) Without cover crops, our warm win
ters make our soils poorer than the
Northern* soils, (2) With cover crops,
this same condition will make our soils
richer than Northern soils.
.Without cover crops, tlie favorable
winter climate which God gives your
farm bus been agriculturally n handi
cap. With cover crops, you can easily
make it an advantage. Why not do it?
HAVE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN.
Swaiusboro Forest-Blade.
Wo have gone just as far as it. is pos
slide for a people to go.who are wholly
dependent'on cotton for a money crop;
we will get, in worse condition every year
just as long ns we follow in the same
old rut.
There is no use trying to hide the fact
rom yourself mill imagine that good
imes will come to'us again, if wo
lo not mnko an effort to get things in
better shape, .lust as sure as yon are
born yon can lie still anil take things
easy and expect, times to grow ■.hotter
without an effort if you wmit'to, but
about tho time you arc expecting' things
to change for tho better you are going
to be bankrupt,'
There are good times for us, without
a doubt, but wo will never bo able to
renlizc them unless wo do something to
bring them- about.
We have, first, got to do something to
put our produce, such as wo can raise
in shape for mnrkot. Then wo have got
to have some organized and stable sys
tem of marketing what we raise;
We will be n poor, oppressed people
just ns long ns we depend on some one
to come along and buy at a fancy
price what we linve to sell, without nay
effort on our part; but there hr no sec
Hon, wo care not where you go, that
would be more prosperous nnd more in
dopondout than ours if the people would'
only make ini effort.

In one of our large cities a feud lias
broken out in the foreign quarter -ind
is raging with relentless fury. Already
eight murders lmve been committed, and
tile police linve been unable to obtain
even n clue to the perpetraturs. Tho
foreigners simply shrug their shoulders
nnd refuse to answer.
This lends a police captain to recom
mend tlie enactment of n law which
would compel the deportation of any
foreigner who refuses to divulge such
information ns may be in his possession.
It would be n good law, and it would
be even better if it were rigidly en
forced.
Our loose immigration laws allow
these assassins to come into our midst.
The man who withholds knowledge of
n murder is himself guilty in the eyes
of the law. He should be punished, and
then deported.
We have not invited such people to
