CHEERING PROGRESS IN SUP
PRESSION OF LYNCHING.
Bishop W. A. Candler in Atlanta
Journal.
Lynching has greatly dcreased. It
is claimed that during the year 1922
fifty-seven persons were lynched in
the United States, whereas in 1923
there were only twenty-eight.
It is affirmed also that during the
year 1923 there were forty-six in
stances in which lynchings were pre
vented by the courage and fidelity of
the officers of the law.
Every law-abiding and patriotic
person will rejoice that this barbar
ous evil is declining. Everyone will
ardently hope that this blot upon
American civilization may be removed
by the utter and speedy disappear
ance of lynching from every section
of our country.
It is a most inexcusable and repul
sive form of violence that cannot be
condemned too strongly. When a hu
man being is lynched the law is
lynched and civilized government is
set at naught.
It is doubtless true that many
perpetrators of hideous crimes who
deserved death, have been lynched;
but that fact does not justify their
lawless execution by frenzied mobs.
It is doubtless true also that innocent
persons have been lynched; and one
such case is enough to condemn mob
law in all its forms, hpwever plaus
ibly defended.
Lynching, and all other forms of
lawlessness, must be put down, or
there is an end of all government.
There is no security for life, liberty,
or property when law is defied.
“Get the Weevil Before It Has a
Chance to Get the Crop" Is. a
Good Slogan.
Tly Keeton Arnett
(For the National 801 l Weevil Con
trol Association.)
New Orleans, La., April 14. —There
has been much speculation among
cotton farmers and those interested
in the production of cotton as to the
number of boll weevils which will ac
tually attack the crop this year.
The general belief has been that
the severity of the winter with the
quick changes in temperature has
caused a considerable decrease in the
number of weevils. This belief has
been strenghened by the announce
ment of government experts, after an
examination of Spanish moss near
Tallulah, La., that only 0.5 weevils
per ton of moss survived the winter.
This announcement, with the warn
ing that if spring weather should be
favorable to the insects they would
increase to such proportions without
control that considerable damage
would be done, is believed to have
caused thinking farmers to plan to

take advantage of the low rate of
emergence by ‘'getting the weevil be
fore it has a chance to get the crop”
at a cost that will be much lower
than if application of control meth
ods are delayed until there is a no
ticeable increase in numbers of The
pest.
The fact that the examination for
the degree of survival was conduct
ed only in Louisiana also has in
creased the speculation as to whether
he same is true in other parts of the
cotton belt. So far as is known no
other expert examinations have been
made, but it will he possible for the
farmers to determine for themselves
within a short time the probable de
gree of infestation this year.
Many farmers already have plant
ed their crops and others will be do
ing so within a few days. And, as
all farmers know, within a few more
days the plants themselves will begin
to appear.
With the appearance of the plants
the boll weevil problem begins to
take on a serious aspect. Whatever
the number of weevils that survived
the winter, it must be remembered
that no food has been eaten by them
since going into winter quarters last
fall and that they are eagerly wait
ing for the appearance of the plants.
They begin feeding on the tips of the
plants just as soon as conditions per
mit.
In order to get the best possible
advantage of the weevil, it is recom
mended that farmers make close daily
observations of the plants as soon as
they begin to appear, examining ev
ery plant for weevils, and as soon as
there are as many as twenty insects
to the acre begin poisoning either
with calcium arsenate in dust form or
a calcium arsenate-molasses mix
ture.
Early applications of poison will
greatly reduce the number of wee
vils, make the late season fight one
of less effort and will materially de
crease the cost of poisoning in ad
dition to saving a large part of the
crop from the weevil’s ravages.
The correct way of poisoning at
this stage as recommended by state
and government experts will be dis
cussed in an article next week. Fur
ther information may be obtained
from the county agent, state college
of agriculture or the National 801 l
Weevil Control Association, New Or
leans, La.

Why Commercial Users
Prefer the Ford
There is much significance in the fact that more than 75% oi ali
commercial cars of onc-ton capacity or less in the United States
are Fords.
This overwhelming preference for Ford haulage units his its basis
in the low cost of Ford transportation, the rugged construction of
the truck itself, and its unusual adaptability to every line oi industry.
Mechanical excellence, simplicity of design and ample power are
further lactors that have contributed to the popularity d the Fo*d
Ono-To.i V r orro Drive Truck.
The Fo«d One-Ton Truck equipped with an all-steel body and cab is
