Next Year s 1 ood bupply.
The average farmer in this section of the country
is concerning l’irnself largely with the possibility of in
creasing tlie yield of cotton over that obtained last year—
which ought to be an easy matter for this section—to
gether with the prospective pride of the fleecy staple.
Not only is the farmer speculating, or ruminating
on this question, but there are tens of thousands'of busi
ness men pursuing the same course. In the meantime
economic authorities are beginning to raise, the question
cf world-wide import, asking if it is not probable that
tne world will seriously lack enough food to supply hu
manity next year.
Tiio interests of the world have become so closely
correlate:! during the past few years until it is hard to
disassociate m.o section irom another and it is a gen-
t»ully accepted fact that the world will need to replenish
its diminished foi d supplies from this year’s crop, or else
gaunt famine will stalk abroad unhampered anil un-
1 1 ‘ndered.
Million* of people In China, Russia and other sec
tions of the worll have starved during the past two or
three years an.l there Is little being done to remfedy the |
situation. The Southern farmer ought to turn every at. |
tention to growing an immense quantity of food products j
of one kind or another, mil if necessary lare crops should |
be put in to supplemcn' the food crops t. at have already
been planted.
The farmers o! the South o gilt to raise enough corn,
l ay, grain and meats to supply this section of the coun
try, but we are yet far from ihlB stage and until we pro. J
gross to that point there can be little real and material j
prosperity and progress. The business men of the South, i
and especially this section, are thoroughly convinced that |
this should be clone, hut few of them are putting their in- j
finance and money behind movements looking toward the i
consummation cf such an advancement.
Regardless cf whatever else t.iey may do the farmers
of this section ought to be sure to raise enough food sup
plies of every possible kind to Hrrnish them with every
thing needed on the farm and if possible provide a sur-
p'us, fof there will unquestionably be a good market for
all ktflds of farm products next year. •
Protecting The Buying Public. j 1 "
Hereafter when people purchase goods they can ex- i
pect greater accuracy from the label representatives than I
ever before. Advertising Gas been a great educational I
tactor In America and by it a great many good goods have
been presented to the public, but unscrupulous manu- j For the lnformation and guidance
.acturers and sales agents have made ravages on honest | of t)l0Se farmers who are endeavor-
manufacturers and sales establishments by counterfeit- 1 iug to grow some cotton this year,
ing, or otherwise closely following the lead of honest mak- 1 am giving below tibe instructions
ers and sellers. I which have been issued by the State
V. TT , ' _ . , ! Hoard of Entomology in regard to tne
The United States supreme court has now passed a i , . . .
I use of calcium arsenate. This hoard
judgment that proclaims that trade marks become useless ; along with other agen ci V of the gov-
and registered slogans valueless unless tine makers and! ernmen t t have been working for a
sellers live up to the Representations presented therein
and it is set forth that those seeking to convey an errone
ous impression are violators of the law ,of the land.
The decision will give impetus to the manufactuio,
dvertising and selling of goods of reputation, because a
uiiu.acturer who spends much money in getting out a
jod product and getting it before the public, depending
-i .oluine of sale and small profit to make his business
o, will not have to be confronted with the imposter who
■ cl creep in and try to obtain some benefits from the
aufils won on merits and publicity.
This means that the average American buyer can
buy wit: a certainty all the goods that are advertised and
.tided, because lie will know that the law of the land
protects him in this manner, and that no fraudulent in-
t -doper can come In and present something similar, yet
without the value of that article which is advertised and
exploited by ail honest manufacturer.
Ti e moral of the matter is that the peopie should see
to it that they not only buy from stores that advertise,
but they should also buy advertised goods, goods with
established values and guaranteed qualities. The time is
coming when stores are going to handle more and more
i
advertised goods and all stores worth while are going to
be the stores that advertise their offerings to the public
and present goods and merchandise of well known value
It will make buying easy' and Insure value always for
uoney expended. »

The Sunday School Movement.
No movement In the past few centuries has gained
and kept such impetus as the Sunday school work, insti
tuted less than two hundred years ago. Indeed, it is a
iiioi ted question as to whether there was ever any Sunday
school- work really started before the Wesleys organized
for this purpose- in Georgia about the time they began
tli»ir great campaign for the Methodist church.
\nyhow the movement has continued unabated and
today it is probably more vigorot s than ever before.
Churches of every denomination are putting the Sunday
♦school to the forefront and giving it every urge possible.
Regardless of the particular denomination, with very few
e"ceptonB, it is safe to say that tte Sunday school ut-
t indance exceeds church attendance.
There are several reasons for this, but chief among
taem is the fact that countless organizations ai'o hacking
t!»e movement. There are towns, cities, counties, dis-
tr.cts, tiller., national and international Sunday srtiocd
organizations, all working to promote Sunday schools re
gardless of creed.
This year the Georgia Sunday school convention will
be one of the most important state gatherings’ to be held
ie the commonwealth, and the same is true of other state
organizations. The International Sunday school conven
tion to be held in Kansas City will be one of the largest
and most forceful gatherings to be held in the entire world
this year.
In addition to the organization work that is being
pushed continuo' sly, there is the feature of service that
dominates virtually every Sunday school class, to say
nothing of the school as a unit. Service to each other,
to other classes, and the church, other schools and or.
■ganlzations, is a prime principle in the matter of Sunday
school work nowadays. • )
The annual outings and other local and social features
make the Sunday school a great institution, not only for
religion and morality, but for training and educating
young people along a line that is greatly needed in nearly
every case. .
Farming and Letterheads.
On acc uint o'.' the use of printed stationery, one W.
H. Kirklriii", of South Carolina lias perhaps had his name
printed i:i a million copies of newspapers during the lust
ree or iVur. weeks.
According to the story that has gone the rounds, Mr.
Kirkbride addressed an export firm in Birmingham seek
ing Information as to tlie most logical way to ship a cer
tain lot of cotton held in store, by the well known South
Carolina farmer. The correspondent used his own well
printed ntatimory on this occasion. Upon the letterhead
appeared in print infoimaticn as to the various products
; reduced by the writer and the stationery so attracted
the receiver of the letter as to take it to the editor of
lie Birmingham Age-Herald for attention.
Tlie t ulowirg concerning tlie letterhead of Mr. Kirk-
ride is from tin Columbus Enquirer-Sun:
T-i-j Birmingham Age-Herald in referring to a
South Carolina farther "who can afford to hold his
lotton,” notes that his letterhead fully explains why
lie does not l ave to borrow bn his cotton. It reads:
"Registered Duroc-Jersey Hogs, Lumber, Cordwood,
Shingles. Ca le, Poult: y, Coin, Hay, Beans, Peas, etc.”
n is nol surprising, says the Age-Herald, that
the cotton ruised on the “fairviev* Plantation ' is not
"distress” cotton, and that W. H. Kirkbride, the plant
er referred to. does not have to borrow any money
on it. hut ii interested in the Birmingham plan only
be- ause it holds out the prospect of an "additional
profit."
Mr. Kirkbiide, it appears, recently wrote the
Warrant Export and Discount Corporation for infor
mation on how to ship 130 bales of high grade cotton
through the Birmingham firm. In his letter he said:
"The cotton is stored on my own plantation, and
' 1 do not owe a cent on it. 1 do not have to borrow
an. money on my cotton and can afford to carry it,
but wo id like to make the additional profit on it that
your plan hold? out.”
The Age-I ierald comments that the above letter
‘is a primer in diversified farming: no farmer will
pave ‘distress' cotton who has the other products
enabling him to hold it for a fair price.”
All of winch, of course, is true, hut the tiling
that interests us quite a bit in this connection is the
fact t::at this thrifty farmer uses his own printed
letterheads. We have known a lot of thrifty farmers
who do; in fact, we have never known a arnter who
uses his own printed stationery who was not a thrifty
farmer. And the case proves itself; for, ill the firs'
place, successful farming is "business farmin
is to say, running a farm on a business basis; and any
worth-while bsiness must )iav e Its'own printed or lith
ographed stationery. Anyway, whenever you find a
farmer who writes his letters on his own printed let
terheads. you may put it down that he is h business
man, that h ■ employs business methods on his farm,
and tills me;.ns teat he lias something to sell every
week in llie y>ar; and nine times out of ten. tlie bank
owes him money, instead of him owing the bank.
The position of our Columbus contemporary is re
The printing press Gas had added to it wonderful
niproveineiit.-; (.tiring the last quarter of a century and
‘.he cost of primed stationery lias been reduced to the
point of being ir. reach of practically everyone. The use
of a printed letterhead bearing information 'concerning
(lie’s business would doubtless serve to benefit many
termers and business men who make it u practice to
handle their coriespondence on a plain sheet of writing
paper. * < •
A k
number of years to find a remedy
which would control the boll weevil.
The result of their experiments is
that up to the present time, there is
only one remedy which will exercise
this control over the weevil, viz c.il
ium arsenate, applied in the dust
form. Thpy do not recommend liq-
i id sprays, as it has been found by
numerous tests, that applied only ill
th t right way and in fee right form
will calcium arsenate be effective,
.lust before the squares of the cot
ton are large enough for the weevils
to puncture and deposit their egg,
which is usually about the time tlie
first cotton bloom appears In the
field, if you have any weevTs. tb
lotton should be dusted twice at an
interval of three to four days. Tnen
watch yoi r field carefully, e.n 1 Vhon
you find infested spots, dust D eRe
pots two or three times tit about
liree day intervals, and pick up eac..
time all of the punctured squares.
Later, when you find the weevils in-
fi sting your field, dust the cotton
every five or six days.
Should the infestation be heavy,
dust every four days for three or
four dustings, or tntil th e weevil is
under control.
if the weather is dry it is best to
■ontinue to dust so that the weevil
will be tinier control should wet
veather set in.
I? tlie weather is wet continue to
dust, as dusting in wet weather is
very effective, unless there comes a
attending
:ommencement at Shorter c 0 ll.
rom which,institution her dr; ^

his year.
Bnter,
will graduate
hard rain immediately after the ap
plication. Should this happen repeat
the application.
Continue your applications during
the season iintil the cotton is matur
ed beyond damage from the weevil.
With an average infestation We ro
commend that the farmers supply
themselves with 25 or 35 pounds of
calcium arsenate per acre for the
eason.
Dust at night or early in the morn-
ng when the dew Is on the cotton.
The atmospheric conditions ar e much
letter at thVs time for success.
Use an average of about five pound
of calcium arsenate per acre. It
will require more when the cotton is
arge, and less when cotton is small.
A hand gun is very satisfactory for
i small acreage and for dusting in-
ested spots,
duster is good for a large acreage,
and still better for a larger acreage
is the three-row traction duster.
If you will dust carefully and prop
erly applying it as directed, you will
hav e success. Do it right and sue
ceed.
I would suggest that these In
structions be kept whve they can
'be referred to often, as only by fol
lowing the proper methods will k ;:at
isfactory results be obtained.
As has already been published, a
par of calcium arsenate will be in'
Milledgevilie at the Georgia Railroad
depot on May 22nd, and a supply of
this material can b c purchased inany
quantity at a price of 9 cents per
pound at'the car door. The car will
only be here for the one day.
