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 Ti * *{y ~ r I p -a JL.J tJ) V w A -v-ow-ttsy.., J By Aithur Brisbane Mr. Jackson of Indiana. Southwest and Northwest. A Webber and Fields Offer? A Tree for Tombstone. 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 was in trouble and only saved by merging with another bank. Farmers can’t make a living, and whije everything is done for ra:l roads and other corporations, to make sure that their stockholders St dividends, nothing is done for rmers except to give them fatherly advice. Something better must be done befme long or there will be trouble M more banks, and trouble in two old political parties. Henry Ford bid real money for Muscle Shoals, agreed to manufac ture fertilizers and the farmers know that he would manufacture Hlfcty other concerns are now Adding, but not real money.

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 on will be more effective, because 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.

T,.e im pulse will be sent out and the watch in your pocket will automatically adjust itself. 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 let them come into the United States, the Chinese are warning Matsui, Japan’s foreign minister, that they, the Chinese, are much insulted because they are not al lowed to settle on Japanese soil. 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 ? ;Z — rjrj >;^Sj OPEN DAY AND NIGHT For busine**.
