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 y v . ...kA .x? vv sb Summer Trade is Good at * Henson Furniture Company j But since we want to make it better*--build up a great inci case, ; we are making UNUSUAL BARGAINS for the next 30 daN 1 - . everything in our stock, and to the party or parties buying . much as $25.00 worth of goods CASH, we are going to give *' l ‘. : of Charge, a nice Porch Swing, Rocker or Rug, same to take i ; or her choice. • Doing the work ourselves helps us to help you.

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.
