of preparedness for the boll weevlL
Government experts who have been
following the weevil fight say that
Georgia is far bettor prepared for the
coming of the boll weevil than any
other state, by reason of the cam
paigns which have been conducted
with such success and by the several
years’ work of county agents and ex
perts as directed from the College of
Agriculture and ,jn which the federal
forces have been co-operating.
All the work which has been doqe
by .county agents both men and wom
an, all the club work repiu ented by
the corn clubs, canning clubs, peultry
dubs, pig clubs, four-crop clubs, calf
clubs, etc., all the work done by
traveling experts, and all the work of
farmers’ schools and Inatiifites 1ms
Jjeen preparing the fanners of the
state for the boll weevil.
In the territory of the state where
the weevil has appeared or where It
is about to appear and do its serious
damage to the cotton crop, special
campaigns have been conducted and
are still being conducted to help the
farmers who have not already done
so, make their suddon changes In agri
cultural activities.
County Agent a Factor .
In these eamp^uigns tho object has
A movement has been launched by
the Department of Animal Husbandry
of the Georgia State College of Agri
culture to organize calf clubs. To
make It possible for as many to be
long to the clubs as possible, the con
tent that will first be promoted will
be on feeding grade calves. The
boys showing the best records of
handling and feeding for a given pe
riod will win prises. Exhibitions are
to be made at county, state and other
Important fairs in the state.

DO NOT FOLLOW
COTTON WITH COTTON
The practice of following cotton
with cotton is considered a poor farm
ing practice, but In weevil territory
it Is considered dangerous to the crop
The College of Agriculture is urging
through county agents and others that
the farmer be persuaded as far ap
possible to use cotton fields for other
crops and put the cotton where It did
not grow the previous year.
HIGH RECOMMENDATION
FOR GEORGIA INSTITUTION
been to get cut ’into tho rural neigh
borhoods where the farmers live. The
county agents have been holding field
or group meetings of farmers lu fields
where crops and farm practices of a
new sort are being demonstrated. The
boll weevil meetings have been bold
at school houses in the country In
preference to county seats or tow.
Real Farmers Speakers
To inspire all the confidence possi
ble among farmers who are not famil
iar with tho real service of college ox-
pert s, farmers have been obtained from
Louisiana and Misisslppl to tell how
they have mado a success growing
cotton under boll weevil conditions.
Along with these are experts who
have just us definite and practical
knowledge on various crops that will
grow in place of cotton in Georgia,
It has come to tho attention of the
authorities of tho Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture that the United
States Department of Agriculture has
highly recommended the cotton
course of the institution to residents
of other states. A prominent farmer
of Missouri came to Athens to take
a course In cotton Industry ag a re

Wliy Not Have
Perfect Lenses?
Improvements and better
ments in glasses are just as
frequent as in anything else.
Until a few years ago all
lenses were flat, because no
one had thought of a better
way to make them.
Today nearly 90 per cent of
lenses fitted are Toric lenses,
curved to follow the shape of
the eyeball.
Tories give a perfect range of vis
ion from every angle—the edges do
not confuse you when looking from
the corner of the eye.
Let us demonstrate the many ad
vantages of Tories made by us.

Traveling Schools
Week long schools are held in vari
ous parts of the state where farmers
turn students again and attend school
for a week to learn more about all
kinds of farming. Where such schools
have been held there is always the
greatest demand for them again. They
have been the means of creating uety
interest, outlook and optimism on the
part of farmers.
Moving Picture Show
The College of Agriculture has been
operating a splendid moving picture
outfit over all parts of Georgia* taking
the show out to tho school houses to
the country and there putting on the
screen as clear a picture as can be
seen in any city. The reels tell of
better farming. They have been
shown free and have been attended
by a great many thousand people,
some of whom have thus been provid
ed their first view of the “movies.”
Boll Weevil Preparedness Clubs
Boll weevil preparedness clubs have
been formed. Certificates of member
ship that embrace an agreement to
do certain things In varying far*
practices and to fight tba weevil. The^r
form the baais of co-operation neces
sary to successfully hold tho weevtt
In check in a neighborhood. Members
of this club are provided buttons as an
insignia of tlieir agreement to do their
duty.
Business Men Campaign
Believing it important that bankers
and business men should have the best
Information possible in readjusting
their relations to the farmer so that
the farmer should suffor the least, the
CoHego of Agriculture has conducted
a campaign among business men, the •
principal speakers being bankers and
farmers from boll weevil territory in
Louisiana, Mississippi, who have suc
cessfully met the Issue in their re
spective territories.
Literature Distributed
Principally through the medium of
the weekly press, tho College of Agri
culture has been disseminating boll
weevil, and crop diversification infor
mation so effectively that very few
farmers in the state have not been
reached in this way. Thus the week
ly papers have become a very grpat
factor in the enterprise.
Posters have been issued, special
circulars, bulletips qf various kinds,
all of which have been eagerly snatch-

writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s

Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do ail my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
