When did our tax officers find
that they were sliort3,216 acres?
Not until they had tallied up
the amount of land returned in
the entire county.
I agree that as to personal
property, of course “Jones” can
do as his conocience directs. I
know there are too many $50
mules in Douglas county. 'Yes
and oh how cheap household
goods are-in our good old county.
We people have very few watches
that are worth five dollars.
Now, I have said nothing of a
plan to find this personel prop
erty. If it is the duty of our
assessors to go and get it, then
they should go after it.
Now, as to that land, I beleave
we could remedy that very easy.
As shown on fa) Jones owns 400
acres of land in 4 lots, but you
can’t tell how many acres of
either lot, That is just as it
would be found on the digest at
present.

stead of going before the asses

it i» found .that no one gives in
the remainder of these ipts, the
pfficers should proceed as the law

Now I suspect that this vyuld
be a sound plank for some fel

If this would find the land then
it would be worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the state

An Easy Way To Reduce

Tassco
and
Haven't you often wished for a
medicine to reduce your fle?h? Some
thing that does not require dieting or
calisthenics? Well, right here you
have it in 5-grain tassco tablets, which
you may secure at J. L. Selman & Son.
They are pleasant to take, perfectly
harmless and cause no restrictions of
habit or eating, and reduce the flesh,
little by little until you are down to
the number of pounds you wish to
weigh. Too much flesh is undesirable,
as most quite stout people will readily
admit, and it detracts from one' j good
appearance; makes one clumsy and
short of breath.
There isn’t any reason why anyone
should be too stout, when there’s this
much-tried, perfectly satisfactory
remedy at J. L. Selman & Son. Tass
co tablets (don’t forget the name) are
recommended by physicians and are
guaranteed to be perfectly harmless.
Refuse substitutes, i f you cannot come
to our store, we will mail tassco to
you.

H is always interesting to listen to

coming from one who 1ms spent a life

Such a person is Annie Stewart, wl o

the respect and confidence of her asso

testimonial.
“I havesuffered with stomach trou
ble for the past seven years. It took
the form of indigestion and dyspepsia
I had dizzy spells and headaches, and
after I ate a little food it Would fer
ment and cause gas to form on my
stomach. I had pains all over niy body
and was chronically constipated. My
liver was torpid, and I felt generally
miserable I had doctored and had
been in tne hospital, but received no
permanent relief. I was so nervous
and restless that at night I could
scarcely sleep The gas pressing nn-
der my heart caused palpitation, and
when I arose in the morning I was just
as tired as when I retired. About two
weeks ago I began to take tonoline,
and I can truthfully state that it has
done wonders in my case, I am feel
ing like a new woman and can eat any
kinfi of food. I sleep the night through
and have no more aches or pains; in
fact, it has cured me, and I am recom
mending it to all of my friends, as it
has been a Godsend to me,”

poor circulation, night sweats, that

GEORGIA FARMERS MUST FIGHT
OTHER PESTS BESIDES WEEVIL
Atlanta, Ga., March.—(Special.)—
The real seriousness of other cotton
pests and diseaees with which the
Georgia farmer has to deal, as well as
his own financial problem, should not
be overshadowed or overlooked by at
tention alone to the Mexican cotton
boll weevil.
Likewise the farmer should not place
too much hope in the recent severe
cold weather, says the Georgia State
Board of Entomology; for while it
killed some of them, it alBO left plen
ty of them to continue their destruc
tive work.
It is the farmer who conducts the
well-directed, all around fight, over
looking no important or essential
problem, who is going to win; and he
is told how to do it in a new bulletin
on "Cotton Growing in Georgia in
Spite of the Boll Weevil," by Ira W.
Williams, cotton specialist, and just
issued by the Georgia Board of Ento
mology.
While this bulletin tells the Geor
gia farmer how he may successfully
retain cotton as his cash money crop,
it shows him that considerably more
than merely a fight on the boll wee
vil is necessary to do it.
A Destructive Pest
In some parts of Georgia nematode
worms, producing destructive root
knot, are almost as bad as the boll
weevil. The only known remedy is
rotation with crops immune to nema
tode. Iron or Brabham peas, velvet
beans and peanuts are the only legum
inous crops which may be used suc
cessfully to build up the soil without
rosive sublimate diluted,/ one part ,to
1,000 of water.
Must Watch Them All
Attention must be given to each
of these problems wherever they ex
ist If there were no boll weevil at
all cotton might be destroyed over
large areas by these diseases.
The time for the spring fight against
the weevil to at hand. Those who
cleared their fields of stalks in the tall
wilt profit by it. .When cotton comes up
the weevil emerges from winter quar
ters snd begins feeding on the tender
shoots. Catch and kill all of them pos
sible Infested squares will appear first
hea? the winter quarters; such squares
should be picked and burned up to
Jujy.
Ml cotton should be planted as early
as weather and ground conditions will
permit. All of it should be planted at
tie same time'. It should be early
naturing and wilt-resistant It should
fe well fertilized, especially with ni
trogen ; also phosphates and, where
ivailable, with potash.
Diversification Important
Also, plant less cotton. Practice di
versification. Get rid of diseases in
the soil by planting other crops: corn
and velvet beans make a finely bal
anced ration for animals, and there is
n# better quick cash money crop than,
cittle and hogs. Every farmer should
have his own cattle and hogs and use
tie manure on his fields. I Every farm
er should have his own home garden,
rotating it as he does his fields, and
thus cut down his living expense.
In the Sea Island sections the board
idvises that the same general rules
jo followed as in growing short sta
ple. There is no reason to* believe
there should be any difference what
ever in the method of treatment Plant
multiplying nematode or root knot the earliest fruiting varieties that can
which may just as effectively destroy
a field of cotton as the boll weevil.
Another disease almost equally de^
structive in many sections, is wilt oij
black root. Wherever wilt occurs thf
farmer should certainly take the prf
caution to plant a wilt-resistant vari
ety, one of the varieties propagated
by the State Board of Entomologr.
More than half the fight depends <?i
the right variety of seed, the chjept
being to get a variety that will ret
the grower the largest amount per
acre. It should be free from diseqje
and well adapted to the particular swo
llen. Varieties that thrive well in
other states and other sections will fiot
give the same results when planted
in your section. Write the Board of
Entomology for bulletin No. 48 on
Variety Tests conducted in varbus
sections of the state.
For anthrnenose do not plant med
from any infected field, for this dis
ease is carried in the seed. For
Black Arm, or angular leaf spot, par
ticularly in Sea Island cotton, tfeat
the seed with hot water or with cor-
be obtained. Do NOT plant short sta
ple cotton in Sea Island territory.
Cross breeding is practically sure to
injure the long staple. If you must
disregard this injunction, at least do
not plant short cotton anywhere near
the long. It will spell disaster.
Can Make As Much Cotton
The farmer who will get a good pedi
greed seed, of a variety well adapted
to his section, plant it on good land,
fertilize it well, give it frequent shal
low cultivation, forcing it to fruitage
by July 15 or August 1, will make
about as much cotton per plow on his
reduced acreage as on the larger acre
age with the old methods.
If these methods are persistently
practiced, cotton will continue to be
the cash money crop of Georgia. Write
for this bulletin, No. 47, to the Geor
gia State Board of Entomology, State
Capitol, Atlanta. There are many
things in it you should know; study
and apply them. Or, If there is any
other information you wish, write for
it and it will bo sent you promptly.
It is the aim- and purpose of the board
to keep you up to the minute in com
batting all peats and insects which at
tack plants or trees.
