PLOW UNDER COTTON
STALKS BEFORE FROST—
The number of weevils living through
the winter will be greatly lesHCneil by
this method, snys the Extension Division
of the Georgia College of Agriculture.
If tlie rotten stalks nre destroyed some
timo before frost most of the weevils
will starve before time of hibernating,
while many of those that ilo hibernate
will bo so weakened that they will not
survlvo the winter. ,
In n test inndo by the U. 8. Depart
ment of Agriculture in Florida, tho fol
lowing results were noted:
Hibernated Oet. 1, only 0.3 per cent,
survived winter.
Hibornnted Oet. 10, only 4.0 per cent,
suryivod winter. •
Hibornated Nov. 1, only 0.3 per cent
survived winter.
Hibernated Nov. 15, only' 14.5 per
rent, survivoil winter.
Destroying tho stalks by Oct. 15 means
the destruction of millions of weevils,
and a comparatively small numbur are
left to emergo in tho spring.
Tho best mothod of destroying the
stalks is to turn tljoin under. This enn
bo done with a two-horse plow by at
tacliing one end of n heavy chain to tho
end of a double-tree anil tho other to
the beam of the plow just above tho
point. This forms a loop that drags
all stalks down in tho furrow so that
t.lioy can bo completely covered. Tractor
drawn disc, plows nre very effective in
getting stalks properly buried, especial
ly when the ground is hurd and dry,
The question of burning stalks has
been brought up from time to time, but
when it Is remembered that vegetable
matter and nitrogen are the twu tilings
Inching in mast Georgia soils, the folly
of burning money is at once' apparent,.
Tho stalks necessary to produce a yield
of 3110 pounds of lint cotton per aero,
before the boll weevil came, weighed
1,73(1 pounds and contained 22.7 pounds
of nitrogen,, worth at present prices
about $1.50. To destroy all this organic
matter and nitrogen is n severe drain
on the Innd, and, in addition, the weevil
in not effectively destroyed, since many
will ear ape from the fields during the
pulling up process.

ON THE HABIT OF ENJOYING POOR
HEALTH.
Bruce Bnrton, in Red Book Magazine,
I visited in ft town Inst year where
nobody Imd a good word for anybody.
Tho people lire God-fearing citizens
in their own esteem, who pay taxes, raise
children and attend dutifully to the other
obligations of life.
But good nows is nu outlaw in that
community; nnd an enthusiast would be
regarded with suspicion ns one who was
probably trying to “put something
over. ’ ’
A cold, rainy day seems to bring n
sort of grim satisfaction, particularly if
it follows n period of sunshine. Folks go
around dripping with ruin and declar
ing that they knew well enough such
good weather couldn’t last. “Wo wns
due for n spell of rain, and I guess it
come, nil right," they would sny.
Merchants positively glow when they
tell that they “ain’t got" what you
wnnt. And there is more joy over one
sinner who is caught in the act and
whose sin enn be told about, than over
ten righteous men who need no repen
tance.
In nil the wcok X wns there I never
once heard anyone suy a gracious thing
about a fcllow-humun-belng. Where the
facts wero such that they could not bo
given a gloomy turn, they wero uttered
grudgingly, ns though no mortal had a
right, to such luck, nnd it certainly would
not last.
Tho inevitable result is that the town
is dying. Its industries dried up long
ago. Occasionally a newcomer will try
to start something; but ho withers finnlly
under tho cold glances of those who are
waiting around to see him fail. And
when he leaves they toll you that they
always “told you so,
There has been recently considerable
criticism of the l’ollyannn philosophy of
life. That philosophy can, of course,
be carried to extremes. There is some
thing the matter with a man who whis
tles while his leg in being cut off, or
fails to grumble when the coffee in cold.
But between I’ollynnna nnd the average
citizen of the community whi'eli I visited,
nnd In which I shall never return, give
me I’ollyanna every timo. As n matter
of cold dollars and cents, to use no high
er standard, tho I’ollymma stuff pays.
Napoleon was called a “one-hundred-

“Men urn nothing," Montaigne said,

TAXES.
Mnrion County Patriot.
We respectfully suggest tlmt tho grand
j ury get busy tho first day of court and
begin a thorough investigation of the
manner in which our people return their
property for taxation. Take, for m
Mtniice the ten cases enumerated below,
and von will get only a vnguo idea of
just how many taxpayers are (lodging
tnxi'K, It is not just, it is not right, and
something must ho done. We can see
no reason for paying a Tax Receiver nnd
Tux Equalizers for doing absolutely un
injury to tlie county, ’flic committee
appointed to investigate this matter
should lie composed of men of intelli
gence and honesty.
There nre many things to be investi
gated by a grand jury besides a little
“nigger skin game,’’ All violations of
the law should be investigated, anil nil
iolntors of the law punished.
We are after big game at this session
of court, and tho big game to bng nre
tlie tux dodgers. Taxes nre high nnd hard
to pn.v, mill the burden should bear
equally on ricli nnd poor alike. Go
after this ninttor with gloves off, Mr.
Grand Juror, and let’s got results. Have
these tax dodgers colled before your
body and find tlie resason Why they re
fuse to return their proporty for tax
ation. Get in behind your Tax Receiver
nud Board of Tax Equalizers anil make
them show their hands.
Favors nro being shown some folks in
Marion comity, nnd it should stop.
Rornl these ten cases; then do your
duty without fear or favor.
1. One man recently purchased prop
orty for $18,000, niiil, the digest shows
that lie returned tlie property for only
$4,000,
2. Another man pays $33,000 for a
farm, and returns it for $0,885.
3. Another man Ims 300 acres of land
worth easily $0,000, yet it is returned
for $1,500.
4. One man 1h reported to lonn about
$10,000 a year, yet he returns land nud
all othor property for only $1,180,
5. Another sold property for over
$30,000, but ho returns less thnn $5,0(10.
(i. A man in this district returns real
estate for $0,000, yet lie 1ms made appli
cation for a Government loan for $10,-
000, which he,claims is half the value
of his farm.
7. Another man returns 1,500 acres of
land for $12,000, yet lie would not sell
400 acres of it for $20,000.
8. A lady recently Imd nearly $5,000
on time deposit nt tho bank, lint did not
return any for taxation
0. A limn in Beunn Vista district
sold property a few years ago for $12,-
00(1', ami returns for taxation $2,735.

000 from the Government on his farm,
still lie returns it for tnxes at loss

. After thirteen years in tlie newspaper
game, mid some fifteen or twenty in the
church, we’ve como to the conclusion
that about DO pur cent, of tlie people
born into tho world mid 00 and 90-100
per cent, of The church membors, were
born with n disposition to go around
with their toes stuck out for somebody
to step on, so they enn get tuned up.
Tlie good Lord deliver us from these
plcnyunish, high tempered, highfalutin ’,
curious, ungodly people who can’t take
n joke—think you nre picking on ’em
all the time, misinterpret remarks to fit
their cases, won’t do anything unless
begged, get hot if you don’t beg ’em,
smllo to your face, cuss you to your
back, nnd are hell-raisers from the day
they were born until tlie preacher tells
a beautiful lie over their graves. Read
this all over again, nnd if it fits you,
call us up mid cubs if you want to—and
then see if you can’t put your liver in
reverse gear and get on tlie right side
