THE DELOACH PLAN FOR THE
WEEVIL
Prof. DeLoach is touring the
state lecturing and exhorting the
farmers on how to grow cotton un
der boll weevil conditions. He is em
ployed by the Armour Co., in re
search work at Arlington, Ga., and
last year he proved conclusively that
cotton could be profitably grown un
der boll weevil conditions. This year
he is traveling over the state giving
to the farmers absolutely free his
knowledge and experience gained
.frorn practical usage.
An exchange in speaking of his
work has this to say:
The plan, simply stated, is to give
the weevil ‘‘three shots” before the
first bloom appears in the cotton.
. This, if it is done well, will des
. troy ail of the winter and early
spring hatch of weevils. It wipes out
the seed stock, and there will be no
weevils to follow.
The DeLoach plan has many
things to commend it.
In the first place it is a plan for
fighting the weevil when the cotton
is small, when it is easier to get at
the enemy. In the second place, it
is fighting the weevils before the
busy season comes on with water
melons, tobacco, etc. There is more
labor to spare in May and early June

Edward Jackson, indorsed by the
Ku Klux Klan of Indiana, swept
the State for the Governorship
nomination. He got more votes
than all five of the other candidates
put together. Lew Shank, Mayor
of Indianapolis, most important
candidate against Jackson and
enemy of the Klan, was wiped out
10 to 1.
This election is important out
side of Indiana, and indicates that
the Ku Klux Klan has gained
rather than lost strength, and will
play an important part in the com
ing national election.
An El Paso bank closes its doors,
in the Southwest, that should know
only prosperity. The other day an
important bank in the Northwest

In the third place, the weather in
May and Jupne is generally more fa
vorable for weevil destruction than
in late June and July.
It will take less poison when the
cotton is small.
It will take less labor to kill the
weevils then.
A day’s work and apound of pois

the weather is more favorable.
Dr. DeLoach was for many years
connected with the State College of
Agriculture where he gained a store
of knowledge in agricultural indus
try. He is qualified and has had the
training sufficient to dispense infor
mation which willp rove of great
benefit to the farmers and cotton
growers of this state. He should be
heard wherever he goes and those
who are giving to him their time and
attention will profit proportionately
in producing larger returns per acre
than ever before.
That cotton can be grown regard
less of the ravages of the weevil has
beenp roved. This year there will be
a large increase in the production of
cotton. There should he for the de
mand is far greater than the supply
and under present conditions the
price for cotton will not go down.
Cotton will hold its own and under
improved conditions the price will
increase over that of last year’s
crop.
All lines of commerce and indus
tries are showing signs of a revival
and with the coming of prosperity,
the farmer will reap the benefits
more in proportion than any other
line of business. —Athens Banner-
Herald.
WHAT MAKES I’ROSi‘ERITY.
Prosperity means good business, and
good business means active buying.
Buying moves in a circle.
There are four factors in the circle
of buying*—the manufacturer, the
jobber, the retailer and the buyer.
Together these factors constitute the
public. The manufacturer, the job
ber or retailer is in a separate class
from the buyer only so far as his
business is concerned. In every other
relation in life ho is one small in
dividual in the great mass called the
public, and he is affected by the same
living conditions that affect the lat
ter. Outside his own business he, too,
is a buyer, so he joins with the pub
lic in starting the buying impulse that
sweeps around the circle. He buys
the comforts and necessities of life,
and he wants reasonable prices the
same as the public does.
Prices were high—but they’re lows
ar now. That creates a demand for
production, and production is bound to
mean more men at work, more men
with money to buy, and more pros
perity.
Not all Lawrenceville merchants
are using the local papers to unload
their shelves. But it can be depended
upon that the ones who are, are the
ones who are anxious to join hands
with the public in bringing about
prosperity and keeping the commun
ity prosperous.

If only we grew individually and
mentally as rapidly as we grow
scientifically and mechanically, but
alas, we don’t. Men with intelli
gence enough to make a watch and
then set it correctly by radio,
haven’t intelligence enough to get
rid of the superstitions that make
them hate and kill each other.
While Japan tells us how much
insulted they feel because we don’t

States, the Chinese are warning
Matsui, Japan’s foreign minister,
that they, the Chinese, are much

Somebody in Japan must lack a
sense of humor.
In Presidential primary election
of Haverhill, Massachusetts, 693
men, 121 women, took the trouble
to vote out of 17,000 registered
voters. Proud Americans seem to
lack interest in politics. Had a
trained chimpanzee walked a tight
rope stretched above the principal
street of Haverhill, on primary day,
beating a drum as he walked, all
the 17,000 registered voters would
have been out to see that chimpan
zee.
There’s excitement in France
about the charge that soldiers’
bones have been collected on bat
tlefields by junk dealers, ground up
and sold for fertilizer. The idea is
abominable to many, therefore the
official denial is welcome.
But what better use could be
made of our “remains” than to fer
tilize the earth when we are gone?
To be buried at the foot of a fine
tree, with a little brass tablet on
the tree trunk, “John Jones is
proud to help this tree grow,”
would be a pleasanter resting place
than being tucked away with other
skeletons in a vault.
Of two American geese talking
to each other, often one is asking,
“What do you think about busi
ness? Will the national election
disturb prosperity, etc., etc." The
United States hasn’t started on its
prosperity. With Mellon in the
Treasury the nation’s debts are cut
down. Meanwhile the people are
saving and putting away thirty
mil lion dollars a day, in savings
banks and good investments. Why
worry ?

in the way of community betterment,
and this improves the condiion of not

If every citizen would constitute
