FIGHT AND WIN
SAYS PAMPHLET
We take pleasure in reproducing
below the text of a papmhlet issued
by the Armour Fertilizer Works, one
of the leading manufacturers and
djstributors of fertilizer, headed
“fight and win.” We print this
pamphlet because we beleive that it
will be of vast benefit to the farmers
of this section and its instruction, if
followed, would prove beneficitial to
the making of a larger cotton crop
on a smaller acerage.
You Can Grow Cotton
You cafi grow cotton under boll
weevil conditions.
You can control the cotton boll
weevil.
Favorable weather will help, but
the weather will never do the work.
Begin your fight in the fall by
plowing under the old cotton stalks.
This cuts off the supply of food and
most of the weevils will die in the
fall and during the winter.
Cut Acreage Per Plow
Cut Cotton acreage per plow for
next year.
Plant only as many acres to cotton
as you can actually plow, plant, fer
tilize, cultivate and poison.
One family made more with two
mules in 1923 on 18 or 20 acres
than another family made just across
the public road with eight mules on
160 acres.
The farmer with ten acres of cot
ton to the plow did it right and
made money.
The farmer with twenty acres to
the plow could not do it right and
so lost money.
Farm Better.
It takes better farming to make
cotton under boll weevil conditions.
Clean up grass covered fields, old
cotton stalks and dried up bolls and
there will be very few weevils left
in the spring.
Make a good seed bed.
Give the cotton ac hance to start
off right.
Plow a little deeper and harrow
the cctton land.
Use More Fertilizer
Use a little more fertilizer per
aere in order to bring the coltonto
a more rapid maturity.
Get good seed.
Cultivate often and as shallow as
possible when it starts.
Make it put on fruit as fast as
possible after the cotton begins to
blossom.
Good cultivation makes the cot
ton fruit fast.
Do not give the weevil the advan
tage; if you do he will clean up.
Do Not Plant To Early
Plan tlate enough to be sure of a
good stand.
Get your land ready, but do not
be in a hurry about planting cotton.
Plant the corn crop and then plant
the cotton.
This is a safer plan under boll
weevil conditions.
Poison With Calcium Arsenate
Poison the weevil with Calcium
Arsenate dust. This is the only way
the weevil can be controlled, year in
and year out.
Calcium Arsenate is the only
poison that is known to kill the wee
vil under natural conditions.
Provide yourself with twenty-five
pounds of Calcium Arsenate for
each acre of cotton a long time be
fore you will need it. If ypu wait
too long, the supply may be low and
the price may be higher. According
to State and Federal experts the
dust is the best form in which to
use Calcium Arsenate for controll
ing the boll weevil. It has recently
been • agreed by all that the liquid
forms, or sweetened mixtures can
be used with good effect while the
cotton is young.
ts you prefer, use the sweetened
mixtures up to the time of the first
blossom.
After that it is best to use dust.
The dust is easier to get into the 1
buds and the squares.
The weevils never feed anywhere ]
except in the buds of young plants ;
until the squares come.
Then they feed only in the |
squares. Later they feed also on the |
young bolls.
They never lay eggs in the buds
of young plants. j
They lay eggs only in the squares
or the young bolls.
Weevils Come Out of Hibernation
The weevils begin to come out
from winter quarters as soon as the
cotton is big enough to furnish food.
Many of these early weevils die
before the squares begin to form on
the cotton.
Weevils keep coming out of win
ter quarters until about the time of
the appearance of the first blossom;
sometimes later.
You can kill practically all the
weevils by carefully poisoning from
the time of appearance of the first

squares to the appearance of the
first blossom.
Some farmers begin poisoning
earlier and think it pays.
Amount of Dust Per Acre
In using dust to poison weevils,
put about three or four pounds to
the acre while the cotton is young.
After the time of appearance of
blossoms and during the first hatch,
use five pounds per aere.
At the time of migration of the
weevils in August, use about eight
pounds per acre.
In still weather apply dust any
time of day.
This may necessitate the applica
tion of dust in the late afternoon or
early morning. It all depends upon
the wind.
Dust applied with loosely woven
bags has proven fairly successful on
small cotton.
Use Dusting Machines
Later it pays to have regular
dusting machines.
Hand guns are good, and one such
gun will easily take care of eight or
ten acres.
On larger farms, the one mule,
two row dusters are better.
Each duster of this kind will take
care of fifty or more.
On still larger farms, two mule,
three .row dusters are still better.
Such machines will take care of a
hundred acres.
A machine to a()p]y dust is as
necessary as a plow to break the
land.
You will not kill all the weevils
coming out of winter quarters.
You can kjll most of them by care
ful planning and by doing it right.
Habits of Weevil
Those that you do not kill will be
nig to lay about the time the squares
number four or five to the stalk.
These squares will begin to fall
about five to eight days after the
weevils have laid eggs in them.
The first squres usually fall just
about the tjme of the appearence of
the first blossom, or a little before.
It takes the weevil about 20 days
to hatch out from the time the egg
is deposited in the square.
The shortest time is probably 16
days, while it may require a:i much
as 30 days. It all depends on th&
weather. The average is not far
from 20 days.
If all the squares are picked dur
ing the 25 or 30 days after the wee
vils first begin to lay, very few eggs
will be left to hatch out, and a crop
of cotton wjll be made before we
v more trouble.
Pick Up and Burn Square*
Pick up squares for ten days or
two weeks after the -blossoms begin
to come.
Burn all squares that are picked
up.
Do not leave them around the
house, or at thq end of rows. The
eggs will hatch there just the same
as they would in the field.
Besure and dust when you know
the weevils are on the cotton. Do
not wait until they have come and
laid their eggs and gone. Dust will
not kill the eggs nor the little worms
in the squares. Calcium Arsenate
dust kills the weevjls, and not the
eggs. Remember this.
Dust Late
Do not stop dusting till you are
sure of q crop of cotton.
Dust at least twice about four
i days apart during the first hatch of
the weevils.
This will be about 10 to 15 days
after the first blossoms begin to
appear.
The second hatch will be about
20 to 30 days after the first. It pays
to dust then if the cotton is still
frujting, and if the weevils are bad.
You can-beat the weevil to it, and
make money growing cotton. Others
are doing it.
You gain nothing by making a
crop, if yqu let-the weevil get it.
You cannot lose a crop and have
ti at th« same time.
Therefore FIGHT and WIN.

STATE GAME WARDEN
NAMES 1,600 AIDES
FOR ANTI-FISHING ERA
Atlanta, Ga.—The appointment of
1,600 deputy game wardens to aid
in the enforcement of the state fish
ing laws during the closed seasons
that starts Friday, was authorized
on Thursday by Peter S. Twitty,
state game and fish commisiorer. Mr.
Twitty has instructed each county
warden to appoint ten deputies, or
even more, if necessary.
The app ointments carry no com
pensation, and the deputies are not
expected to make arrests, but are
only asked to give information as
to violations of the law. Insofar as
possible men will be appointed who
live along fishing streams.
It is unlawful to fish with any
thing except a hook and line in
Georgia streams from f'ebruary 1
to July 1, Mr. Twitty pointed out.
Shad are the only exception to this
rule, the closed season on shad be
ginning April 15.
“I am going to stop the practice
of dynamitting and seining.” Mr.
Twitty declared. "All wardens have
been instructed to put the public
on notice that the laws will be en
forced, und then to carry out the
provisions drastically. This es
pecially applies to dynamiting,
which is an inwccusable violation of
the law.”
ENTRIES ARE SLOW
IN BARROW COUNTY
Winder, Ga.—The democratic ex

holding the primary for the nomina
tion of county officers.
The large entry of candidates for
county offices expected by some has
not yet materialized, and there are
only three races in which opposition
has announced.
C. W. Parker, incumbent, is op
posed by H. G. Hill, for ordinary.
County School Superintendent J. P.
Brookshire, incumbent, is opposed
by W. M. Holsenbeck, and Tax Col
lector M. H. Lowe, incumbent, is op
posed by J. G. Cooper.
There are fifty-three Tuesdays in

NORCROSS NEWS.
i
Norcross, Ga., Feb. 1, 1924.—Mr.
McAdoo displays magnanimous spir
it in refusing to enter the Presiden
tial Preferential Primary in states
whree other Democratic Presidential
aspirants reside, to-wit: Missouri and
Nebraska in' feeling deference to
Senator Reeld and Govrenor Bryan
respectively, I .notwithstanding Attor
ney( Dinsmode in a speech at Bir
mingham, Alh.. recently declared his
state, Alabama, should support Mc-
Adoo, the Democrats strongest can
didate for president. Thjs action on
the part of the Georgia born and
raised candidate is evidence in it
self of good, presidential timber.
Such a spirit twill appeal to tha hon
est voter everywhere at the polls
March 19th. {Lastly, as Mr. Hamil
ton, editor of "the Augusta (Georgia)
Chronicle says “I am for McAdoo
first, because I think he is big
enough to be second, be
cause I think he is the only candi
date with whom the Democrats will
have a chance to win, and I am
mighty anxious to see us Democrats
in next time”. Now, let’s endorse
this sentiment and vote that way at
the primary.
Your correspondent under the
head “The Primary”, (in a late is
sue) made no suggestion as to when
the Chairman ought even call thg
Committee together, neither did ha
suggest early or late Primary, and
since the efficient Chairman has al-
ready announced. Candidates jyould
be heard on this question at the
proper time, during the committee
meeting the sth inst., which I am
heartily in favor of and endorse the
Chairman’s statement. The candidate
pays the expenses of these primaries
and with loss of time, uneasy sus
pense and a thousand and one other
things he should be allowed to ex
press to the committee his prefer
ence as to date. Certainly he ‘hould
be accorded this privilege, and when
the Committee has heard them on
this as a member, 1 shall
have the nweriest of the candidate
and voter b&h.in mind, there was a
time when August primaries were
the fashion, biii, they are out of date
v a—iaben , the-
place of buggies and spring prima
ries are certainly expedient to all
parties concerned. Hall, Gordon,
Chattooga, Bartow, Henry, Newton.
Spalding, even Walker way up right
in the shadow of Lookout Mountain,
are a few of the counties I call to
mind at the moment, who have set
their primaries for March 15th in
keeping with the Presidential Pre
ferential. Several of above men
tioned counties are farther north
than Gwinnett, many south Georgia
counties have already held their pri
maries.

County Agent Robison Will Hold
Demonstrations, and Advises the
Use of Barrel Pumps.
Do not fail to spray the home or-'
chard with consecrated lime sulphur
before the buds appear, and, destroy
the san jose scale.
It is hard to value a supply of
fruits to a family, but since the san
jose scale has become so well distri
buted in every orchard it is most im
possible to have any fruit unless the
trees are protected against this as
well as other pests. One application
of lime sulphur before the buds ap
pear will protect the trees.
If later sprayings are applied on
through the summer as good fruit
can be produced in this county as
any other section that will be free
from rot, worms and other pests that
make it drop from the tree. It/ fs
useless to set out young fruit trees
unless they are properly Sprayed and
pruned.
I am making an effort to work at
least twenty home orchards in twen
ty communities of the county this
year. If you are interested I will be
glad to have you communicate with
me at once. In this way others can
attend these demonstrations and
treat their own orchards. It will not
be possible to get to every orchard;
but by one in eqch community with
those who are interested near that
place g much greater number can be
reached.
In the selection of a spray pump
do not buy anything less than a bar
rel pump The small pumps may
throw a stream of water a short dis
tance; but they do not have force
sufficient to make the fine mist with
force sufficient to penetrate all the
places in the bark. Several orchards
have been worked, and we wlfl con
tinue in each community as {ast as
possible. Do not delay this work;
now is the time, and if delayed it wfll
not likely be done.

SHERIFF GARNER
ISSUES CARD
Lawrenceville, Ga., February 2,
(1924.—Editor News Herald:
My attention has been called to an
artcile in Saturdays morning’s At
lanta Constitution regarding the
capture of a quanity of whisky Fri
day nightr in Gwinnett county. The
facts are as follows:
Mr. J. N. Barnard, one of my
deputies at Norcross, had information
that a quanity of whisky had been
brought from the Chattahoochee
River in a boat and stored near Nor
cross. He phoned me late Friday
afternoon and I met him and we
went over to this place together, in
company with my son Dick Garner.
We found a large quanity of whisky
stored in a barn in gallon cans in
tow sacks. We only had two Ford
cars along, one a coupe. We put as
much of this whisky as we could
conveniently carry in these two cars
in order that we might bring it to
the Court House at Lawrenceville
and pour it out, as has been my cus
tom for a long number of years and
which was the custom of Federal
officers who formerly co-operated
with me. We could not bring all
the whisky and we destroyed the
balance on the spot, probably more
than one hundred gallons.
On our way back while we were
traveling the main highway leading
rom this point towards Lawrenceville
we wore stopped by federal officers.
After relating the circumstances of
this capture we were under the im
pression that was a closed incident,
but the article in Saturday’s paper is
likely to leave a false impression.
If these federal officers were as
diligent in trying to catch these liquor
laulers as they are interfering with
the State officers and trying to me
barrass them, better* conditions
would prevail. The evident put pose
of the article referred to is an effort
to prejudice the case against me and
ny deputies pending in the United
States Court. My information is
that the whisky captured belonged
to a party who is a “star” witness
-tor-the Government ill Iflift'EW?
ing against me.
I am willing to compare my record
and the records of the deputies serv
ing under me from the year 1911 to
this good hour with the record made
by any State or federal prohibition
officer in Georgia, so far as the en
forcement of the prohibition law is
concerned.
Yours very truly,
E. S. GARNER
Sheriff, Gwinnett County.

WOODROW WILSON DIED
SUNDAY ABOUT NOON
Washington, D. C.—Former Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson died Sunday
morning at 11:15 after an illness of
many months. The end came peach
fuily as the finger of death touched
the great man who was twice honor
ed president.
Told by his friend and doctor Ad
miral Grayson, that the end was near
he replied, “I am ready.” His last
words were:: “I want the people to
love me, but I suppose they never
will.”
Fatigued and worn by the battle
with death which began before he
left the White House in 1921, the
war president of two terms died—
after eight of the most monentous
years in the history of the world, he
closed his eyes and slipped peacefully
away.
The end came when vitality no
longer could retard the steady dis
solution which set in with the Ftroke

from the western speaking trip in
1919, in which he declared he was
glad to give his life for the League
of Nations if that would make it a
success.
The general sclerosis had been
progressively hardening Mr. Wil
son’s arteries since he was first
stricken in 1919. Hemhamopligia,
which refers to the paralysis of his
left side, manifested itself sensibly
in his left arm and leg.
The digestive disorder which de
veloped last Monday hastened his
death by a new and vicious attack
on the waning vitality of the for
mer president.
He took a sudden turn for the
worse Thursday night and his phy
sicians found that thereafter it was
only a question as to bow long they
would b.e able to prolong his life.
The first word of the seriousness
of Mr. Wilson’s condition was given
by Dr. Grayson Friday morning, af
ter he had spent Thursday night at
the bedside. He called in at once
two other physicians and members
of hte family were summoned by
telegraph. But only Mrs. Wilson, his
daughter Margaret and his brother
Joseph Wilson of Baltimore were
with him in his last hours of life.
The passing of the former presi
dent was announced in the follow
ing statement was issued by his
friend, Rear Admiral Cary T. Gray
son :
“Mr. Wilson died at eleven fif
teen this morning.
“His heart action became feebler
and feebler and the heart muscles
were so fatigued that it refused to
act any longer. The end came peace
fully. The immediate cause of death
wa« exhaustion, following a diges
tive disturbance which began last
week but did not reach an acute
stage until the early morning hours
of February 1.”
During all of Friday, and Satur
day he lingered on the verge of
eternity. He slept fitfully and to
i wards the last refused nourishment,
but before extreme weakness over
took him, he talked with ftiose about
him and told Dr. Grayson he was
“Ready to go.”
Dr. Grayson, restraining tears
with obvious difficulty, gave the for
ma announcement to newspapermen,
orn with the strain his voice was
barely audible when he said that the
founer president’s last moment had
been peaceful. As the news es his
death spread throughout the city
and was flashed around the world,
sympathy poured in a
great flood tide to the widow who
so long had kept him in her tender
■ care.
No details of the funeral have
yet bun announced.
TWICE-A-WEEK
WILSON IS LIKENED
TO GREATEST LEADERS
London, Eng.- The entire Lon
don press carries comment on Wood
row Wilson, prominently displayed,
the Evening Express saying:
“Woodrow Wilson is the greatest
American since Lincoln. He is a fail
ure like Moses because he was not
allowed to lead Europe into the
Promised Land. But in a hundred
years historians will rate his failure
as peacemaker higher than the suc
cess of any other figure of the great
war.
Mr. Wilson, on his death bed,
dwafs his betrayers on both sides of
the Atlantic. He is more than a pol
itician; he is a seer. His blessing of
peace will be the homage of victory.
He failed as Jesus failed. The fail
ure of Jesus in Palestine gave the
world Christianity; the failure of
Wilson at Versailles will give the
world the peace of brotherhood.
“He was cricified by politicians,
but when his body, like that of John
Brown’s, lies moldering in the grave,
his soul will go marching on.”
FOREIGNERS MAY SLOW
BALLOTING IN ELBERT
Atlanta, Ga.—Clark Edwards, Jr.,
ordinary of Elbert county, was at
the state capitol a few days ago,
seeking advice as to the method of
conducting electiohs under the
Australian ballot law, which has been
tyadopted in his county. Any coun
ty may adopt the system or. the
recommendation of two consecutive
grand juries.
Mr. Edwards was puzzled over the
provision of the new law requiring
two election managers to explain the
ballot to each voter who cannot read
and write. There are many foreig
ners working in Elbert county ouar
ries, Mr. Edwards said, and he fear
ed it might take several weeks to
hold an election, if there were many
names on the ballot, and the officials
had to give the pedigrees and qualif
ications of each candidate.
Attorney General Napier advised
the ordinary to appoint his election
officers early and drill them in the
provisions of the new law.
