The farmer who thinks he will
get a cotton crop by this year with
out having to fight the boll weevil,
because so far few weevils have
been in evidence, is doing some
foolish thinking. However, the pois
oning of the weevil has just about
become a science in Wilkes county,
and the cotton growers have made
up their minds to make around ten
or twelve thousand bales, weevil or
no weevil. And they will probably
do it. —News-Reporter.
“According to ‘Good Hardware,’
the following order was recently re
ceived by a well known seed firm:
•‘Please send me one dozen straw
berry seeds, ten square yards of
grass, siic wall flowers with sections
of watt and one safety lawn mower
and plow combined. Send also
enough baskets to hold the straw
berry and plum crops and back
combs for the honey. The grass
should be green, and the seeds a

A Burke county farmer is said to
have made a profit of ten thousand
dollars last year on a farm of less
than four hundred acres. His suc
cess is attributed to the fact that he
rotates his crops and plows under
green crops on a portion of his land
each year for fertilizing purposes,
thus putting humus into the soil so
necessary for plant life. He gets
good dividends in the increased pro
duction of cotton, corn and small
grain. If all farmers would follow
his example Georgia would become
one of the most prosperous agricul
tural states in the Union. ,
The Washington News-Reporter
has been backed up in the objection
to the Georgia delegation in con
gress taking care of such parasites
as Grover Edmondson and Mrs.
Lytle, in ail candor and truth they
have done nothing meritorious
enough to warrant them a responsi
ble job. Such as these destroy any
service they enter and weaken the
public respect for the government
office holder. Every congressman
from this state should be asked the
plain question if they endorsed eith
er of these birds for a job. We hope

Lee A. Langley, representative
from Floyd county, is consistent and
persistent in his advocacy of four
year terms for state house officers,
the Governor to be ineligible to
succeed himself, and biennial ses
sions of the legislature. The majori
ty of the people of the state are no
doubt in favor of such a change and
would welcome such a law at the
hands of the coming legislature. The
Macon Telegraph suggests that pos
sihly the “members of the General
Assembly enjoy their annual visits
to Atlanta to such an extent that
they cannot be dissuaded from them,
even to the extent of only skipping
every other year, and that this is
the main obstacle to cutting down
the expenses of government by sav
ing about SIOO,OOO on the Legislat
ure every two years.”
Occasionally we are told by some
man shopping around on a piece of
printing that he can get it cheaper
in Atlanta or Athens, says The Wal
ton Tribune, but the fellow doesn’t
stop to consider the fact that the
things he is selling might be pur
chased in those places cheaper, also.
This reminds us of the Wisconsin
editor, who after being hammered
about on prices for his work pro
ceeded to sit down and indite the
following:: “If bids are to be asked
of us it is natural that we fall in
line with the custom. On May 1, I
will be in need of the following ar
ticles: Two pairs of silk socks, size
11, for Sundays; one pair of good

handkerchiefs for use when needed;
one peck of good potatoes, un
sprouted; one round steak, two
pounds, not dead too long; two
white sheets for use in bed when
radio is out of repair; one pair of
house slippers; two packages of ko
dak flms and some souvenir photo
graph post card views of local

THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDEN
TIAL NOMINATION.
After atwo week’s session, at
New York, John W. Davis, of l\est
Virginia, was chosen to bear the
tanner of democracy in the great
contest with its enemies which will
be settled at the November elec
tion.
Mr. Davis is the ablest man bal
loted for in the convention, and the
best equipped to discharge the du
ties incident to that high position,
and his candidacy will bring all the
warring factions together in enthu
siastic harmony.
The people of Georgia were over
whelmingly in favor of the nomina
tion o! William Gibbs McAdoo, and
at the close of the action of all the
state in naming their delegates to
the New York convention his nomi
nation appeared to be practically as
sured.
Up to that time his enemies had
been unable to make any serious is
sue against him, and he, seemingly,
was making a triumphant march to
the goal, but immediately following
his great victory in the Georgia pre
ferential primary, the arbitrary, un
just, undemocratic and usurpatory
conduct of his campaign managers,
Bell, Randolph and Hamilton, in re
fusing, absolutely, to permit his
friends in the several counties of
the state who had led the fight for
him, to have any voice in naming
delegates, and in holding a secret
meeting, behind locked doors, in the
Kimball House, and naming all of
them themselves, from a list pre
pared largely by leaders of the Ku
Klux Klan, they created a storm of
indignation in this state which has
not subsided to this good day.
Unfortunately for Mr. McAdoo,
his campaign managers procured a
letter from him unconditionally en
dorsing what they had done, but,
be perfectly fair to him, we do
not believe that he knew anything
of this usurpatory conduct of theirs,
but the effect of it was to indelibly
link his fortunes with that of the
Invisible Empire.
But to strengthen the force of
this charge, Bedford Forrest, of At
lanta, one of the highest officials
in the Klan, accompanied by other
leading lesser lights connected with
it, actually went to New York to
work for Mr. McAdoo.
In nine tenths of the middle and
far west states, as well as in all the
eastern states, there is the most in
terse hostility against the Klan, and
the linking him with it made his
nomination absolutely impossible,
even under the majority rule.
In our account of th? proceed
ings of the State convention, at At
lanta, we expressed the opinion
that this action of McAdoo’s cam
paign managers in naming a hand
picked list of delegates would prob
ably bring about this result, and
that has been verified.
We were extremely anxious for
the nomination of McAdoo, and the
democrats of this state have been
keenly disappointed by his defeat,
as we believed that he was the best
and strongest candidate in the race,
and could sweep the field, but in
view of these later developments,
the final action of the national con
vention appears to be fortunate for
the party, and has greatly increased
its chance for winning the election
in November, as it practically in-'
sure* the great states of New York,
and New Jersey, and two other east
ern states for Davis that McAdoo
could not have carried.
We do not think that the Ku Klux
Klan issue should have been made,
nor that legislation, either by the
states, or congress for'its supression
is either necessary or desirable.
All that talk in the national con
vention about “religious liberty”
was the worst sort of tommyrot, as
the Klan never interfered with the
privilege of the Jews or Catholics
to meet and worship in their own
way without the slightest molesta
tion, but it is the absolute right of
any organization, either secret or
public, to vote against the members
of any church they see proper to.
In 1856, the American, or Know
Nothing party, was organized to
fight the Catholic church. It was a
secret political organization with
its signs and grips, and its slogan
was “Americans shall rule Ameri
ca,” and down with the Catholics,
and no efforts were made to sup
press it by legislation. The demo
crats just knocked the filling out of
it at the polls, and it died within
four years, just as the Ku Klux
Klan will, whenever it undertakes
to become a political party.
In 1836, long before the birth of
the American party, intense oppos
ition existed against the Masonic or
der, the charge against it being that
it was asecret political party, with
its signs, grips and pass words, and
its main objective was to capture
the United States government, and
anti-Masonic tickets were put out
in a number of states, all of which
were badly defeated, yet there was
no effort made to legislate that or
der out of existence, nor to inter
fere with it in any way.
This is a land of liberty, and he
people have bifth a moral and ooliti
cal right to organize secret socie
ties, but none to violate the penal
statutes of a state, and whenever
they do that they subject themselves
to prosecution and punishment, as
has occurred in many instances
TOO MANY PUBLIC OFFICIALS.
According to reliable statistics
there are 2,700,000 employees on
the payrolls of the federal and lo
cal governments and 700,000 former
employees drawing pensions—3,-
400,000 persons who are beng pro
vided by the governments with their
lving. There are 41 mllion persons
in the United States “gainfully” em
ployed so that every 12 citizens are
supporting otje in office. The
amount paid for services by gov
ernments —federal, state and local
—represented six and one-half per
cent of the national income in 1922.
This amount was nearly one-half
that paid out in wages by all manu
facturing plants in this country in
1921.

THE NEWS-HERALD,
HONORING WILSON.
Simultaneuosly with the tribute
paid to the memory and deeds of
America’s war president by the demo
cratic national convention comes news
of recognition of his great humanitar
ianism from the other side of the
world.
To show their appreciation of the
life and work of the late President
Wilson, whose interest in the near
east was manifested on numerous oc
casion, the authorities of the Near
East relief will dedicate a training
center for orphaned and exiled chil
dren to him on the Greek island of
Syra. Ideals of international peace
ai d good-will sutfi as were held by
President Wilson, are to be spread
through the Near East from Syra as
a center of influence

FARMERS URGED TO
INCREASEHAY CROP
Shortage in Roughage for Stock
Could Be Wiped Out by Raising
Yield Per Acre, Says Dr. Calvin.
BY MARTIN CALVIN
i Specialist in Agriculture are! Eco
nomics, Ga. Dept, of Agriculture.).
The Georgia problem is one of fi
nance. ' This applies particularly to
igiiculture. During the fourteen years
last past, we have been purchasing
farm products we could have produced
-corn, oats and hay, for example.
In 1920, report made in 1919 by the
itople themselves to the census
'.gents, only thirty-seven counties of
:hc then 155 reported each a hay and
fevagt crop of more than 5,000 tons.
1 i;e counties which led in production
>vere: Carroll, 18,600 tons; Walker,
15,100 tons; Houston, 13,100 torn;
Cherokee, 13,000 tons; Floyd, 10,500
lens; Sumter, 10,400 tons; Whitfield,
9,300 tons.
Cultivated hay and forage totaled
608,590 tons. Of that number, only
127,227 tons were the cultivated
product; 172,500 tons were corn for
age—familiarly known as “fodder
corn.” The latter is cut and cured
just as the ears begin to form.
Hay Shortage.
The writer finds no pleasure in dis
cussing “shortage” in crops, but the
situation is so Rooseveltian we must
meet it in a true Rooeveltian manner
—fact it, find the remedy, and apply
the same without unnecessary delay.
What has been the situation as to
hay during the series of years al
ready mentioned? I have carefully
assembled all the facts for each group
of seven years, studied them; then
boiled them down to a brief state
ment:
The government rule is that each
horse and mule should have daily fif
teen pounds of prime hay. That
means two and three-quarter tons a
year for each animal. The annual
average number of horses and mules
on our farms, 1910-1916, was 46,142,
so the hay and forage required to
taled 1,226,891 tons. If we credit to
utilization, in a supplementary way,
every available ton of grass or plant
as forage, we find an annual shortage
not less than 500,000.
The annual average of horses and
mules on our farms, 1917-1923, was
444,000. The quantity of hay neces
sary to the health and working power
of the animals totaled 1,219,034 tons.
Under the most favorable aspects of
Weak
Nervous
“I was weak and nervous
and run-down,” writes Mrs.
Edith SeUers, of 4M N. 81st
St, East St Louis, 111. “I
couldn’t sleep nights. I was so
restless. I felt tired and not
in condition to do my work.
I would have such pains in
my stomach that I was afraid
I would get down in bed. . .
My mother o-mo to see me

I felt better after my first
bottle. I had a better appe
tite. It seemed to strengthen
and build me up. 1 am so
?lad to recommend Cardui
or what it did for me. I
haven’t needed any medicine
since I took Cardui, and 1 am
feeling fine.”
Nervousness, restlessnsss,
sleeplessness—these symp
toms so often are the result
of a weak, run-down condi
tion, and may develop more
seriously if not treated in
time.
If you* are nervous and
run-down, or suffering from
some womanly., weakness,
take Cardui.
Sold everywhere.
the case, the shortage amounted to
632,000 tons.
This is the answer to the oft-pro
pounded question: “Why is so large a
tonnage of timothy hay, alfalfa* etc.,
imported into this state every year?”
The annual average price of hay per
ton, 1910-1916, was $16.54; for 1917-
1923, the annual average price per
ton was $20.57.
In order to supply the annual av
erage shortage, 1910-1916, we pur
chased hay, or its equivalent, in the
sum of $8,270,000. The annual aver
age shortage, 1917-1923, necessitated
the purchase of hay, or its equivalent,
in the sum of $13,000,000.
Seed Land for Hay.
We make hay every year, but the
fact is we do not plan for an adequate
general average yield, per acre. In
neither one of the fourteen years, un
ler consideration, did we average one
nd a half tons of hay per acre. The
average yield ought to be raised, as it
can be, to two or five tons per acre.
You declare that to be impossible.
Not so.
Our own shortcoming is that we
try to make hay without the best seed
and without a sufficient quantity of
fertilizer per acre. Seeding land for
hay is at hahd. The soil should be
put in fine condition—ploughed, har
rowed and cross-harrowed; 400
pounds of high-grade 10-4 goods, 10
per cent phosphoric acid and 4 per
cent potash, should be applied per
acre broadcast. Follow with one
and one half bushels of clay or
unknown cowpeas, broadcast; harrow
n, then roll or drag level. You may
udd to the cowpeas one peck of Ger
man millet or half bushel of Early
Orange cane seed per acre. As soon
as the peavines are in full bloom, cut
the hay, and carefully cure the crop.
When the vines are in full bloom,
G.—man millet seed will be in the
milk —the Orange cane seed about to
pass into the dough state. Do not
wait till the pea pods have formed,
have reached full growth, and have
turned yellow. If you do, better leave
the ciop on the land as a mulch, for
all the leaves will have dropped from
the vines, and every time the vines
are moved the pods will shed iheii
seed. If you harvest an acreage of
pea vines when the pods are “in the
sere and yellow” condition, you will
have a lot of bare vines and stem :
and . . mall lot of ever emptying pod-.
