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 the road. 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 Win. J. Mims, Professor of Mathematics, Easley High School, Ensloy, Ala, 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. Tlie devil loves n quitter. 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.— Burhannn Tribune. 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.

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 come among ns, and we will not weep if they leave. If they will not leave of their own accord, they should bo helped along by Uncle Sam’s boot. You have noticed, of course, tlint an optimist usually takes iiis meals at a place where there is a good cook. “What does your father do I" asked tho clergyman. “Please, sir, he doesn’t live with us; mamma supports me.” “Well, then, how does your mother earn her living?’’ ‘.‘She gets paid for staying away from papa," answered the child, ar'letety.
