TWICE-A-WEEK VOLUME S 3. 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 The News-Herai aj WOMAN CANDIDATE FOR WALKER PRIMARY MARCH 19 Lafayette, Ga.,—Walker county i 3 to have the earliest primary in its history this year. The county ex ecutive committee has fixed the same date for the presidential preferen tial primary. The first woman candidate in the history of the county is Miss Luc£ J. Street, who for years has been connected with the tax collector’s of fice. She has several opponents for this office. Her employer for years, Henry Brown, it is said, will onpose her for nomination.

Shine may con tain the “nog” alright, but it re quires. a diferent egg than a fresh one to kill the scent of the stuff. — Donalsonville News. 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. LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1924.

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 ecutive committee of Barrow coun ty has set March 19 as the date for 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 -this year—the extra one being for the national election, probably,-- Savannah Morning News. 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. SEND US YOUR JOB WOR.v 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. A. G.

SEND US YOUR JOB WORK 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. ARON J. HUFF DIES Aron J.Huff, 24, died Friday at Detroit, Michigan, of pneumonia. He was a former Lawrenceville man.

CENTERVILLE DEFEATS LI THONIA FOR SECOND TIME The snappy quintet of Centerville, successfully stopped the second at tack of the Lithonians on Center ville’s court, Friday, February 1, making them retire with the smaller end of the score of 14-10. This is the second time that Lithonia has been defeated by Centerville. Lithonia played a good game huts the Centerville boys just naturally played a better game. The score was tied two or three times during the game but in the last quarter our boys got 'em and held ’em until the time wa§ called.' Bullard was the high scorer for Lithonia while Davis scored Irghest for Centerville. 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 V Vra " ITTII I WOODROW WILSON .oi Kiifaiysfe 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. TAXES EXCEED BEQUEST, MORSE HEIR CLAIMS IN FIGHT ON FFATHER’S WILL Chicago,—While Colonel Robert B. Morse, son of the late Charles Hos mcr Morse, founder of Faribanks, Morse & Co., shares in his father’s $23,000,000 estate to the extent of $1,896,000, the will imposes on him the payment of taxes amounting to $3,246,000, or $1,350,000 more than his share of the estate, according to allegations in his suit to set the will aside. Charles H.
