The war department has ruled
that all fraternal orders will be
allowed to operate at the camps.
This is right and proper.
With American soldiers in the
trenches two having sacrificed
their lives, four more wounded
and a dozen captured, it is time
to silence all opposition to the
conflict and present a solid front
to the enemy.
.
Billy Sunday should be proud
of his critics. It's remarkably
strange how some fellow who
has never done anything for the
uplift of humanity himself, likes
to impugn the motives of the
man who is really doing some
thing.
Senator Ha'dwick made a
speech at Meigs last Saturday,
the county of his birthplace, and
though the county had been
broadcasted with handbills and
has a voting population of 2800,
less than 300 people heard him;
and if reports be true, less than
fifty ot these were Hardwick
men.
Hon. W. J. Harris lias definite
ly decided to make the race for
the Senate to succeed Senator
Hard .vick. With his record and
loyalty to the administration and
his wise administration of the
affairs of, the Federal Trade
Commission, we predict that he
will prove that he is more than a
match tor the man who boasted
of his allegiance to the adnin-
istration and has done all in his
power to retard its success.
EXTENSION
SPELLS WHAT TO Y00
Ten ytears ago last month extension
work began in Georgia with the ap
pointment of five men for county dem
onstration work and since that time its
growth has been so marvelous and its
scope so broadened until today few
people realize the meaning of the w r ord
extension in Us broadest sense.
Forty women and forty-two men
have been added to the force of coun
ty demonstration agents under the
war emergency measure recently pass
ed and at present the State College of
Agriculture has 100 women and 110
men working actively to help the farm
er and his family in the interest of
better agriculture. Every county in
the state has the services of an agent.
The extension division is working
In co-operation with the Federal Food
Administration and every effort is be
ing made to plact Georgia in the
forefront in maximum crop production

FOR YOUR MONEY
YOU MORE
You've all seen the shops in every
city where fifty-fifty is the policy.
Fifty per cent for the clothing and
fifty per cent for the name. Ihal’fc
some business.
I don’t do that here and I am just
as proud of everything I show, such
as overcoats, suits, neckwear,
shirt-, hats, etc., as any merchant
in thr- world. I know they are good
and that every cent you pay for
them gets its full value.
That’s the reason why my busi
ness increases from season to sea
son. That’s why men invarably
come back the second and the third
time. That’s why l am proud of
this business.
And by the way, men, those$25.00
suits and overcoats I sell give you
more for your money than lots of
others I haye seen that sell at as “Just Bob—-By Himself”
much as $10.00 more.
Overcoats at $15, $17.50, $25

TO STOP BOLL WEEVIL’S RAVAGES
Atlanta, September.—(Special.)—
Pick out all your cotton and destroy
all stalks, if possible, at least thirty
days before the first killing frost,
urges the Georgia State Board of En
tomology; for only in this way can
the ravages of the Mexican cotton boll
weevil be effectually checked in the
coming season.
Stalk destruction should be begun
by October 15th and pushed just
as rapidly as possible; for it is- the most
important single thing that can be done
in effectively fighting the weevil, says
State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham.
Proven By Results
Results this year show, Mr. Wor
sham states, that where stalks were
destroyed early last fall, and where
other instructions were followed in the
spring, growers made a good crop of
cotton in spite of the boll weevil.
Dr. W. D. Hunter, cotton expert of
the United States Bureau of Ento
mology, says: “Fall destruction of
weevils, (by destroying the stalks,)
Insures a crop for the following sea
son."
The five following reasons are given
for the important fall destruction of
cotton plants:
Feeding Fern».
Ferns should be fed once every two
to four weeks with dilute nitrate of
soda solution, very dilute ammonia
water, manure leachings, prepared
plant food, or ground bone and wood
ashes. * __
for each plant in the are killed
outright.
2. Many more weevik'?. that are in
the immature stages- u wietimes as
many jfs- a hundred ' - <uach plant in
the fieitl, are also killed.
3. TVie few adult weevils escaping
will beSveakened by starvation. Most
of th^H^will be too weak to pass
through ,the winter.
4. The development of the late
broods; -which furnish the vast ma
jority of weevils that pass through tho
winter, is cut off immediately.
5. Destruction of the infested
plants with the weevils facilitates fall
or early winter plowing, which is al
ways good in cotton raising.
Importance of Seed Selection.
One of the next most important
things after fall stalk destruction, is
careful seed selection, about which tho
department has already given advice
in the state press. The use of good
seed, and of pedigreed seed where ob
tainable and the destruction of stalks
in the fall, are the two most import
ant items in boll weevil control. Every
farmer should be assured as to the
quality of his seed for next season.
Any who are interested should write
to the Georgia State Board of Ento
mology, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.,
for bulletin No. 46 on seed varieties,
and No. 47 on controlling the boll
weevil. These will be of material help.
Discouraging.
The weman who marries a man to
Reform him must be discouraged to
Bee how much work one small speci
men requires when an evangelist can
arise and have them hitting the trail
J>y the hundreds.
1. Hordes of adult weevils, many
