Would This Plan Help Sweetwater Us? | • j The Sweetwater Debating Soc- I have not had an opportunity iety met Saturday night April 7 to reply to my good friend Mr.'and discussed the question: Re- W.

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. (A) Jones No. of Acres No. Dist.

Acres in each lot No. Jones 400 25 47 3 5 125 200 60 48 3 5 This shows that he has 25 125, 200 and 50 acres of the respective lots, Jones could be at work in stead of going before the asses sors, And if on investigation, it i» found .that no one gives in the remainder of these ipts, the pfficers should proceed as the law fequirea. Now I suspect that this vyuld be a sound plank for some fel low’s platform two years hence. If this would find the land then it would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state of Georgia, L. K. W.

Midway Boston Woman Recommending It To Her Friends PopularBoston LadySays Tonoline Has Proven a Godsend to Her H is always interesting to listen to the stateinents'rif our friends, and es pecially when you know they are sin cere and honest in what they say. Ad ded interest is created in a statement coming from one who 1ms spent a life time in Boston, where she is well known socially. Such a person is Annie Stewart, wl o resides in Boston, and is possessed of the respect and confidence of her asso ciates, and i3 willisg Cor anyone to call on her to verify the following signed 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,” J, L.

There are numerous symptoms of this trouble that tonoline can relieve. ^ In fact, any of the following may de note affections of the stomach; Indi gestion, dyspepsia, belching of wind, bad breath, sick throbbing headache, poor circulation, night sweats, that tired feeling, costiveness, coated tongue or a poor complexion.

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.
