on in earnest when this is read. Gene
Talmadgc will have fired his open

Warm Springs will be over. The big
guns will begin to roar and charges
and counter charges will be hurled
in the usual fashion. Georgians take
their politics seriously enough to al
ways furnish enough excitement to
keep summers from becoming dull
during political years.

partment of Agriculture and the
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture have long advocated that
start control before the weevil
seriously damages the crop.
Producing cotton under conditions
favorable to boll weevil infestation
is a race between the setting and
■maturing of a crop of bolls, and the
Increase in the weevil population.
The progressive farmer does every
thing he can to encourage the early
maturity ol a crop, and to discour
age the increase in weevil popula
tion. Briefly, that is the situation.

community proposition. It is an In
dividual one too. Each farmer should
study the weevil condition* on his
farm. If it ia found that control
measures are needed, then they
should be practiced at once. We can
not bank Jtoo much on favorable
weather later on holding them in
check, although there is this possi
bility,
Probably the best method of con

Automatically adjustable to what
ever conditions may arise, the Agri
cultural Adjustment program fits
the needs of the farmer, regardless
of market or yield conditions.
This is the assertion of Chester
C. Davis, Administrator, who points
out that in years of high yields the
adjustment program is instrumental
preventing the production of price
depressing surpluses, while :n years
f low yields, it has little effect on
total production.
The virtue of the adjustment pro
gram.” says Mr Davis, “lies in the
fact that adjustment program reduc
tions are large when yields are high
and small when yields are low. When
nature makes a heavy production
cut, the adjustment progAm compen
sates by making a light production
cut” -• —W!
Conditions this year, with the
drought seriously affecting wheat
yields, illustrate the nolnt. Adjust
ment contracts have taken about 10
per cent of the wheat land out of
production. If growing conditions ha*
been normal, the adjustmert pro
gram would have made about »n 8E
million bushel reduction from the
normal y’eld of abcut 850 million
bushels.
Under the unsual conditions this
year where the total production of
wheat is expected to be about 500
million bushels, no more than 550
million bushels could have been
pected without the reduction pro-
