County on the
Present Prospects
t Cotton fleas and Inqe
jiers are not doing so
much damage now ns
they were a few days
ago. Cotton is holding
fruit much better sine.*
they are leaving, and
we are having reason
ably fair weather for
poisoning bull weevils.
These conditions are very encouraging
and it's beginning to look like that a
fair cron of cotton can Ik> made by
those who are fighting the weevils.
Many farmers in the county have
their weevils under control well
enough In exp <1 that this insect is un
der their control pretty well. The wee
vils ure “gaining ground" in this boll
weevil invasion on too many farms.
Now is no time to wait further to see
u lint the we vils will do if let alone.
They have a long season ahead of
them as they came early tills year,
and cotton is late.
Since tin 1 fleas and hoppers are leav
ing ih cotton to fruit, more rapidly
Ibis gives the boll weevils a good
chance to raise more rapidly as more
squares- come on IhC cotton plants.
Now is the time to get these weevils
tliinn <1 but before so many squares
get punctured.
One application of poison now is
worth as much as three later on. and
it does not take as much poison per
acre now because the cotton is less
than it will lie later on. So now is
the most profitable time to poison that
we will have.
It is safest to poison whether you
think you have any weevils or not.
The chances are that every farmer has
some in every field.
%
It is becoming more and more to
look like that the farmer who poisons
and fi-'hts his boll weevils effectively
will be the one who will make cotton
Ibis year, and that those who do not
will he those who will have the least
cotton this fall. The only sale thing
(o do is to fight weevils now, and
keep up the fight until this crop is
made. Let’s start poisoning now if if
lias not already been start and, and keep
it up and try to make cotton. We
have too flinch in our cotton crop to
risk any more than we have to to
weevils, so let's fight weevils hard
now and do our part to save our crop.
Some Good Corn
AY. 11. Ogletree has fine prospects
for a big pile of corn Ibis year. 11 is
crop looke like he will make a thou
sand bushels. Most of this is on up
land. There is a lot of good upland
corn tliis year. Corn that is top dress
ed is looking much better than the
un-top dressed. Now is a good time
to top dress late corn. Fifty pounds of
nitrate of soda per acre helps a lot
on a corn crop.
Good Alfalfa
The best paying crops of any kind
in the county are the alfalfa patches
or fields, seeded iast fall. There are
very few (tarns in the county large
enough to hold the fine cutting of al
falfa hay that 11. ('. Moon got from
liis four acres at one cutting. He is
getting four cuttings this year. The
first two cuttings made Dim a hun
dred dollars worth of hay per acre,
or fifty dollars per acre per cutting.
S. It. Mitcham is dping as well on
two acres. M. li. Wood and S. F. Bo
hannon are getting Simula r results on

best alfalfa. .
A hundred farmers should sow an
alfalfa patch this fall in Rockdale
county. Twenty-five dollars per acre
will nay for lime, fertilizer and seed
for an acre put in right. That is all
it will cost besides your labor. There
is always a good market for alfalfa
hay for the farmer who has any to
sell. This is our host crop. Let's sow
some alfalfa. It is a good paying crop.
Tin re is a good chance for good
farmers in Rockdale county. More
good farmers are needed badly. Every
farmer can become a better farmer
than he is now. Let’s all reach out a
hit further and got some other things
that will help suppliment cotton, such
as more feed and for home use, more
and belter pastures, and more cattle
per farm.
Now these things will pay well, and
they are in reach of every farmer in
Rockdale county. Let's do safer farm
ing.
Yours very sincerely,
ERNEST I*. HOLMES, County Agent.
Ford Dealer’s Selling Pr ires
on
USED CARS
ARE LOW
Why not get a used car for the second car your family had
been needing? Most of the cars we have accepted for trade
in on new Fords have a generous number of miles left in
them—miles of unused transportation at a price you can
easily afford.
You’ll find our used-car prices low because there is no “price
padding” to make up for high trade-in allowances. The
price of the Model A Ford is so low, and the value so high,
that excessive trade-in concessions are impossible. That,
and our reputation for fair-dealing which we value so high
ly, protect you when you buy a used car from us.
When we offer a Model T Ford for resale it has been thor
oughly reconditioned. New parts wherever needed: every
thing properly tightened and adjusted—and with it goes a
guarantee. We have a number of these reconditioned Fords
now. Also several cars of other makes, priced according to
the unused transportation they offer. Let us prove our
prices. Stop in today and look over these bargains.
