Dear Mr. Editor: The boll weevil has great interest for Georgia, and the latest infor mation has been compiled by the Department of Agriculture in Bulletin No. 1262 on “The Boll-Weevil Prob lem.” I belcivc there is much in formation in that bulletin which should he in the hands of every Georgia cotton grower, and I will be glad to send a copy of that bulletin to any one requesting it. I hope it will be possible for you to make brief mention of this in your paper. Very sincerely yours, Wm, J. Harris claimed for its own, the sweet spirit cf their daughter, Flossie, wife of Mr. Emmett £,bvin. Flpssie. was born December 13, 1902, and was married to Mr. Emmett Lovin December 26, 1919. She joined the Baptist Church some few years before she was married, and we sincerely beleive, that she was a true Christian For God tells us that we shall know a tree by the fruit it bears. She was Uto-ys ready and willing to lend a helping hand; she always met every one with a bright smiling free. Flossie had been in bad health for some timc,although she bore her pain so patiently. ‘Dear patents and husband, weep not, for vour bei ved one, but rather rejoice for she is not dead, but sleepet 11 She ha s paid the debt that we all Si on must pay. Sho is sleeping in Jesus, to await that final day, when we shall all be called together to meet God before the judgement bar. Isn’t it a sweet thought to know that we are going to »eo Floscie’s bright smiling face again some sweet day? "Ti’s sad to hnve to g(,vc our loved ones up- hut it seemh that God plucks the sweetest flowers first.” Although she only bloomed a short while here on earth, but she will bloom again, around the “Great White Throne.” Floshie was hurried at Sweet Water Cemetery, Rev. S. T. Gilland conduct ing the funeral services. She leaves a husband, father,mother, two Tuesday about noon when it became known that little Francis, son of Mr. and Mrs- F. M. Winn, Jr., was critisally ill, and not expected to live, there was a feeling of awe throughout the town, mixed with a hope that his illnesg iwould not prove fatal, but about one o’clock death claimed him and his spirtit was wafted Heaven ward. „ If sympathy and condolence could console the bereaved parents under such trying circumstances, their bur den would be lightened, but we all know it can oly.in a measure, prove that their many friends would help them,, if they could, to bear the heavy burden. It lg one of those acts of providence we can’t understand, but are sure that Francis is a beacon light to direct his loved ones Heavenward. The funeral service was conducted at the Methodist Church, Wednesday afternoon by Rev. W. H. Clark, and the remains interred in Douglasvill Cemetery. THE SHORTCAKE CONCERT by the Methoidest Junior Choir, Thursday Evening, June 29th at 8:00 O’clock, At School Auditorium UP TO THE LEGISLATURE (By Georgia Good Roads Asso.) Atlanta. Ga.—That a bond issue of some size is imperative and will be voted by the legislature for ratifica tion by the people, appears to be , realized even by* those members of the general assembly who have been opposed to the £75,004,000 bond issue which has been so strongly urged. Members of both houses, visiting Atlanta in advance of the session, de clare that the state must adop, at this session some method of raising highway funds to match the federal aid appropriations and avoid the cer tainty of losing these millions from the government. It is positive that the public will not stand for additional taxation, and the bond' plan appears, they say. to be the only solution possible. From general discussion, it appears that the legislature will favor a bond issue of moderate size for the purpose of building state highways and avail ing the state of the federal aid money. The Georgia Good Roads Association, which has been urging the $75,000,000 issue, has issued a statement through T. G. Farmer, Jr., its managing di rector, saying it will not arbitrarily Insist on a $75,000,000 issue if the members of the legislature believe after careful consideration that a lesser amount would meet the situation Recent figures on gasoline taxes ' and auto licenses bear out the con tention that the interest and sinking fund for a $76,000,000^ bond issue would easily be cared for by- this in come. without danger of additional taxation to take care of the bonds. brothers, two sisters and a little nfant- two weeks old.

Now let us all live in peace with God; so that when we have te lay down in the cold icy arms of death, we can say. “Farewell, Vain World, I’m going home to die l.omore: but to reign with .Jesus for-ever.

He was indeed a good citizen, a true Christian gentleman, a man who stood for the right and condemned the wrong. He was also a truecon- federate soldier, having gone into the service at the beginning of the war, and stayed until It closed. He grap pled with the enemy all this time without having recevied a single W °He d was '.also a memher ofi the Masonid Fraternity. In his moving away from here, this church and community, sustained a great loss, as did the church and section of which he was a member, when he passed into the beyond. We feil that we can truthfully say that he is not dead but asleep in Jesus, where he will awake in the mor’n of the Resurrection, and will be per mitted to hear the welcome words, “Come in thou blessed of my Father, thou hast been faithful over a few things in yonder world, I will niake thee ruler over many.” Bro. Shadix leaves a wife, 3 boys, 2 girls. 30 grand children and 14 gTeat grand children togather with a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his departure. “Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your hearts and pras- tice them .in your l'ves ”—U.

Atlanta,Ga.—After a canvass of the Senate, dispatches received here tn- dny state, United States Senator Wm. J. Harris, of Georgia, said that every democratic senator would vote against a tariff on potash and to put this important item in fertilizers on the free list in the tariff bill now before tile Senate He said that from fifteen to twenty five republican sena tors would vote with the democrats on potash item, which practically assures the defeat of a tariff on potash in the senate. Senator Harris said that practically all bf) the agricultural L’oc would vote to put potash 011 tne free list, and that it would mean a saving of millions of dollars to the farmers as any tariff would be added to the cost to the farmer. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Next Sunday afternoon our Church will make an every member canvass for the budget for the next twelve months We ask every member who *s not on the committee to remain at home Sunday afternoon until the team calls on you. By cooperation of all this can be made a most delightful task. No work the church has ever undertaken, aside from soul-winning, can mean so much to the future of our church as this canvass. If we succeed in this, as we ough and easily can, we will win a victory that will gladden all our hearts and please our dear Savior. Four of our young people are at tending the B. Y- P.

Croxton, passengfer traffic manager pf ,tho Atlanta, Birmingham and' Atlantic railway, returned to Atlanta this morning from Sfc Simon’s Island, where he has been for several days, conducting experiments with calcium arsenate for poisoning the boll weevil. Prof. B. R. Coad. of Tallulah, La., in charge of the United States govern* ■ment experimentsh for combatting the boll weevil, recommends four - and in aggravated places five - an* plications, at intervals of four days; •that is, the different applications should be applied as nearly as possible four days apart and in succession, so that, inasmuch as the life cycle of the boll weevil i*, four days, this provides ample margin for poisoning the weevil which may he hatched from eggs that are laid oven a day or two after the first application of calcium arsenate is made. Mr. Croxton stated that cotton to which applications of calcium arse nate have been made, by the use of the Feeny Mule-back Dusters, ap plied at night when the dew is on the plants and foliage, a week or ten days ago, just prior to the heavy raips- shows a much larger number of healthy squares and blooms than the adjoining cotton which had not been dusted. The benefit from the use of calcium arsenate in unmistak able, Mr, Croxton said, and he 13 enthusiastic about the result obtained on the Meade cotton farm of the St. Simon’s Island. Cotton At Palm Harbor Mr. Croxton said that the cotton on the Palm Harbor farm i s well ad vanced and is fruiting heavily and will probably make an average of a bale of cotton, or more, per acre, on the 125 acres planted :*n Meade Cotton on St. Simon’s Island this year. The government and the state agri cultural agencies rejn^mend using at least five to seven pounds on each np- plica* on and the*e should to a mini mum of four - probably five - appli cations, four days apart. The State Board of Entomogy re cently operated a car of calcium ar senate between stations along the line of the A. B. & A. railway and offered the farmers the privilege of purchasing this preparation at the very lmv pried of 9c) /per pound. Many farmers have availed themselves of thi s opportunity but there are still a very large number, it is stated, who did not do so. These, it is stated* may communicate! with) the State Board of Entomology and ascertain the next date on which calcium arse nate will be distributed at or pear his station and if it ig impossible to se cure thecalcium arsenate in this way he is advised to try to Secure it through his local supply merchant and by all mens begin to use it as soon as hbout 10 per cent of the squares are punctured. ^ j Where To Get Information If not informed, specifically, an to the methods of application, farmer* are advised to call on the County Agiicultuial Agent or State Bureau of Entomology at Atlanta for .parti* tuiars Mr. Croxton reporti that the cotton prospects in South Georgia are very promising. He said the recent rains have not damaged the cotton in South Georgia, because it was well advanced and clean when the rains set in, so that, with hot weather and sunshine again in abundance he looks for a very satisfactory crop, provided far mers will use combative measures to retard the ravages of the boll weevil. These are, v first* h-et points out, calcium ^rsenate, applied asi pre viously indicated, and picking up and burning the punctured or fallen squares.
