LAFAYETT ESCHOOL NOTES
--By Maude Arnold
School life during the past few
aveeks has been interesting as well as
/eventful. The fact that school is
I 9 nearing a close is causing many stu
f dents to have a much more jovial at
titude.
The Herndon literary society en
tertained the Hall society last Friday
afternoon with a most delightful pro
gram, the principal feature being a
mock faculty conversation. This Fri
day the societies will give as their fi
nal program, a joint program of sev

Monday night, May 19, the two lit
\ erary societies will give in the audi
( torium a debate, “Resolved That the
Prohibition of Japanese Immigration
(aside from Diplomats, Professionals,
and Students, is Justified,” for the
purpose of seeking the loving cup.
Those supporting the Herndons which
i represent the affirmative side are
1 Misses Nancye Stewart, Lucy Rosser,
and Maude Arnold. Those for the
i Halls, or negative are, Messrs R. A.
\ Duke, Warren Watkins and Marion
i Steele.
i The class mothers together vHth
I the Bank ofLaFeyette have promised

“Thrift,” a present of five dollars.

having two prominent men of the

FUNERAL MONDAY
OVER BODY OF
O.M. THURMAN
Oliver M. Thurman passed away at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. S.
Tannehill, of Fort Worth, Texas, on
last Friday night, following a linger
ing illness. Several months ago Mr.
Thurman went west hoping that his
condition would improve and for a
while it seemed that he was improv
ing but some time ago he became
worse, and gradually grew weaker
until it was seen a few weeks ago that
the end was approaching.
Mr. Thurman was born and reared
in Walker county, and at the time of
his demise was 67 years of age. In
his death Walker county has lost a
splendid citizen, and the sad intelli
gence of his passing comes as a source
of deep regret to his numerous friends
and relatives all over this section of
the state and Tennessee. He was a de
voted member of the Methodist
church. Early in life he embraced the
Christian religion and lived it every
day among his fellows. He was truly
a good man, a'splendid citizen, a no
ble, kind husband and father and a
true friend to man.
Mrs. Thurman preceded him to the 1
grave some eleven months ago, and
his grief for her passing probably
hastened the end for him.
Surviving him are four daughters—
Mrs. W. H. Jones, of Quinton, Okla.,
Mrs. S. F. Deck, of St. Elmo, Tenn.,
Mrs. W. S. Tannehill, of Ft. Worth,
Texas and Miss Elizabeth Thurman,
of this city; two sons—Robert and
Roy Thurman, both of this city; one
sister, Mrs. Wiley Evatt, of Hixon,
Tenn and two brothers—Anderson
Thurman, of Texas, and E. A. Thur
man, of Chattanooga, besides a host
of other relatives and friends.
The body was shipped here last
Sunday accompanied by his daughters
and brother from Texas.
Funeral Services were held Monday
afternoon at 4 o’clock from the La-
Fayette Methodist church, of which
the deceased was a member, in the
presence of a large concourse of sor- j
rowing relatives and friends. His !
I pastor, Rev. J. W. Brinsfield, assist
ed by Rev. I. S .Leonard, the Baptist I
pastor and neighbor, conducted the
service, both paying beautiful tributes ;
to the life and character of the de
ceased. The pall bearers were Wert
Garmany, W. A. Loach, J. L. Ham
mond, Dr. W. D. Ballenger, Ray,
Thurman and Tom Rhyne. The chan- 1
cel rail and pulpit place were banked i
with lovely flowers tributes of friends, |
organizations and relatives.
Following the services at the
church, the body was taken to the La-
Fayette cemetery and lowered to its
last resting place. Funeral arrange
ments were in charge of the LaFay
ette Furniture Company.
Among the out-of-town relatives
who attended the funeral were E. A.
Thurman and family, of Chattanooga;
W. P. Evatt and family, of Hixon,
Tenn., J. M. Clarkson and family, of ■
Center Post, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Mc-
Connell, of St. Elmo, Tenn., Mr. and
Mrs. J. D. Crowder, of St. Elmo, Tenn,
I Mr. and Mrs. Roy Blevins, Mr. and i
j Mrs. F. Doster, Mrs. Lon Ed Dositer,
I Mr and Mrs. Kennebrew, Mrs. Perry,
I Mrs. W. H. Coulter, Mrs. R. D. Smith
: and Mrs Hudgens, all of Chattanooga,
: Also Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Graham and
■ Mrs. J. H. Hill, of Menlo.

COTTON GROWN
SUCCESSFULLY IN
HANCOCK COUNTY
THE BOLL WEEVIL INVASION
REDUCED THE ANNUAL YIELD
IN HANCOCK COUNTY FROM
. *
17,000 BALES TO 700 BALES—
THE STORY OF HER “COME
BACK" IS ILLUMINATING
In reading the report of the won
derful “come back’ ’of Hancock coun
ty, Georgia, in 1923, when that coun
ty had suffered from the ravages of
the boll weevil which had reduced the
cotton yield of that county from an
annual output of 17,000 bales to 700
bales, and which now is growing cot
ton successfully under boll weevil con
ditions, Mr. D. A .Jewell, of Chicka
mauga wrote A L Reynolds, Mayfield,
Ga., last fall, asking him to tell the
story of his own success with cotton,
I since Mr. Reynolds was a large cotton
grower in Hancock county. Below will j
be found the answer to Mr. Jewell’s |
inquiry, which contains pertinent and
timely thought to the cotton growers
of this county. We are glad to pass it
on to our readers through Mr. Jewell’s
courtesy, with the hope that it may be
of assistance to the cotton growers of
our county:
“November 12, 1923.
Dear Sir:—
i
“It Is true that we have pretty good
crops bf cotton this year, though our
l acreage was small. The yield per acre
on my wage farm was about same as
pre-weevil times. On a few acres we
made about a bale to the acre, 27
acres and 23 bales.
“I planted at my home place 12
acres, used 400 pounds of fertilizer
iand poisoned with the intention of
i demonstrating that we can grow cot
j ton yet. I made 8 bales. I used Cal
! eium arsenate. This year I put in a
j few more acres, and fertilized heavi
ly, used in the early stages syrup and
calcium arsenate mixture, and I made
| a good crop, over a half bale to the
acre. This was on idle land.
“I give you this experience: I had a
1 colored man who owed me in 1920 a
| $425 balance. With one mule he paid
| this year’s account, which included 40
I bushels of corn, paid the $425, clear
ed $75 and paid me $250 rent for the
year. Every farm paid out this year
and quite a few wiped out old debts,
i “I am afraid next year the tendency
will be to plant too much cotton. My
plan is to hold to the same acreage,
plant good land, fertilize heavily, use
the poison religiously and plant as
as early as the conditions will permit.
I use best grade seed.
“Last year we began poisoning just
, before the first squares formed and
poisoned every ten days, four times,
or rather made four applications. We
did not pick up squares or weevils.
■ The poison is put on with a rag tied
| on the end of a stick 2 1-2 feet long
the poison should not be put in
the bud as it kills the bud in most in
stances. Just a little dab on one of
the top leaves is allright. I made up
a mixture of syrup and calcium ar
senate on Saturday and walked down
a row 120 feet showing the man how
to put it on. On Sunday morning we
looked along under the stalks and
found 18 dead weevils. It is a fact
that the syrup mixture attracts tjie
1 weevils before there are squares to
feed on. We put it on and watched
i them crawl out on the leaf and begin
i eating it. I can’t say whether it at
i tracts when there are squares and
blooms or not, as we did not see any
I more weevils after we cleaned the
■ field the first tmie. We put on the oth
i er applications as a matter of precau
i tion thinking there might be some we
didn't get the first time.
“I bought the cheapest molasses we
could buy, mixed one gallon molasses,
one gallon water and one pound of
arsenate, one pound cotton seed meal
thoroughly mixes, as this settles it
must be stirred each time before us
ing. This is put on during the day and
when the leaves are dry. One hand
will cover about 4 acres per day. If
you have no rain during the day of
application nor the night following,
you might consider that application
effective; otherwise better go over it
again. Takes about one gallon per
acre for the first time and this must
be before the squares are formed. It
takes heavy fertilization. My yields
under the above treatment has been
eminently satisfactory, and I know by
experience cotton can be grown suc
cessfully under boll weevil conditions.
I forgot to say that the cotton should
be plowed once a week.
“My record is the record of other
farmers in Hancock county, and no
county in the South bad a greater or
more annihilating visitation of the
boll weevil than Hancock. In pre-wee
vil times this county grew an average
of 17,000 good bales; when the wee
vil “hit us, before we employed the
above methods, her average in 1920
was 700 bales. We were ruined, but
we are coming back and with COT
TON. Tour soil and cHmata will do
tba same thing ts the asms treatment
k given.’' , ,-J
