ClarkesTille Association
Held Interesting Session.
The sixty-third session of the
CUtrkesville Association met with
Mt. Yonah church in Cleveland
Thursday morning of last week.
Rev. D. J. Blackwell was elect¬
ed moderator and Thos. F. Under¬
wood clerk of the body.
Amongst other business given
the attention of the body at this
session was the position taken in
regard to prohibition, this body
have gone squarely on record as
favoring the present prohibition
law, and have also endorsed a com¬
mittee report to use their efforts in
the enforcement of this law.
Whether the adoption of such a
measure by this body will be in¬
strumental in the suppression of
prohibition violations remains to be
seen, but there is no question
whatever that if the churches were
to take the work upon their should¬
ers that they could make it mighty
difficult for the people to success¬
fully violate this statute on the
law books of the state. We all
know that the church has the pow¬
er to do just whatever her member¬
ship agree to do—provided they
can put up a united front.
The association was one of much
interest throughout and was well
attended.
Revs. Chas. W. Henderson and
Robt. Hawkins delivered some very
good sermons which were highly
appreciated by their hearers.
George \V T . Andrews was present
in the interest of Sunday Schools,
and Frank H. Levels represented
'fWYV. Y. p. iv t
The Womans Missionary Union
met Friday and elected officers for
the ensuing year, and their report
shows that this body has collected
more money for missions than the
seventeen churches belonging to
the association.
The business of the association
closed Saturday afternoon and was
followed by preaching Saturday
night and Sunday.

Proposes to have representative

Let No One Be Deceived.
Dick Russell may stay in the Jr ace for
Congress, ami then he may not. He has a
way of changing His mind so often that there
is no dependance to lie put in him or his
promises.
When he was in Buford became up to see
the editor and in the course of conversation
he stated that if he was elected to Congress
he would introduce a hill prohibiting Cath¬
olics from becoming citizens of the United
•States.
'I'llis coming from a man who feels that
he has distinguished himself as a judge
of the land caused a wave of surprise to pass
over us. The Constitution of the United
Stales contains the following language.
“Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; or abridging the
■
tWfciMiiluiy
and to galition the Government for a re
dress of grievance.'*
Now, it is plain to any Blinking man that,
first of all, two-thirds of the membership_of
Congress (House and Senate) would have
to vote to amend tire Constitution, and then
this amendment would have to be submitted
to the states for ratification, would have to
he adopted by three-fourths of the Union
before the Judge’s proposition could be
effective, and if this were done the matter
of its constitutionality would tie carried to
the supreme court of the United States for
decision, if Russell is the lawyer he claims
to be ho knows full well the folly of such a
proposition. I (is statement in its last
analysis is presumption upon the ignorance
of (lie people and such petty politics wil
not be tolerated by the good people of this
country. No candidate need believe that
lie can any more gull the people. They are
posted on all questions and they know
when a candidate is consistent and when lie
is not.
Mere words from a man who has flounc¬
ed about from pillar to post and is never
content with his environments will not be
accepted by the voters who are looking for
deeds, not words, who want results, not
idle statements made for selfish purposes.
We are unhesitatingly and unreservedly
opposed to tile ('alholic faitli and the activ¬
ities of the Catholics tlirnghout the country,
and we are ready by word or pen to contrib¬
ute anything we can toward thwarting their
methods.
Our present Representative in Congress,
Hon. Thus- M. Bell, who seldom parades
his successes or virtues, but has really done
more for the Ninth district than has been
done in a quarter of a century, is on record
as having done effective work in curbing the
activities of Catholics, and this paper is in
the possession of the history of his work
and w’ould be glad to furnish the facts to
anyone. In the meantime LKT NO ONE
BE DECEIVED by idle and presumptuous
promises.—Buford Advertiser.

Getting High Yields
From Cotton Crop
How a Good Variety And Modern
Methods Of Cultivation Panned
Out In The Field
(JOHN R. PAIN, Professor Agronomy,
State College Of Agriculture.)
Pour acres of cotton grown on the
demonstration field of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, yielded
revenue as follows: Lint at 12 cents,
$2S2.4S; seed for planting at $2.00,
$121.50; seed to oil mill at $14.50,
$40.60; Total $444.58, or a return per
acre of $111.14.
The majority of the cotton grown
was College Number 1, a selection
made a few years ago from the Sun¬
beam cotton. This cotton has proven
resistant to anthracnose, has outyield
ed the original Sunbeam and is some¬
what earlier.
The important lessons from this
demonstration are, the value of good
seed from a good variety that lias been
bred up by proper methods to a fixed
type and reliable behavior, the value
of a well prepared seed bed and the
economy of frequent and shallow cul¬
tivation, by which the moisture of the
soil is conserved, the roots spared
from being torn from their feeding
places by the deep furrowing plow or¬
dinarily used, and the completer sup¬
pression of weeds.
The lesson that can be applied now,
when the crop is growing, is that with
reference to frequent and shallow cul¬
tivation.
Peach Orchard Acreage
Increases In Georgia
Marked Increase In Number Of Peach
Trees Set Out During Period
Of Twelve Months

parts of the state makes it conserva¬
tive to say that more than 1 , 000 , 1)00
new trees have been added the peach
Orchard acreage of the state of Geor¬
gia during the planting season of 1915
and early 1916. This means that there
are something like 10,000 more acres
devoted to peach culture in the state.
Quite a decided increase in'the acre¬
age lias taken place in the Fort Val¬
ley region. Northeast Georgia has
added materially to iLs acreage. North¬
west Georgia has planted many trees,
while as far south as Thomasville
peach trees have been planted on rath¬
er a broad scale, considering that
they are planted somewhat as a new
crop for that region.
The success of crops of recent years,
and the success with which diseases
affecting the peach have been combat¬
ted, has tended to place peach culture
on a more attractive basis than for
several years.
Rid Hens of Lice and Mites
(Wra. S. DIETS, Poultry Department,
Ga State College Of Agriculture.)
Each year the profits of the farmer
and poultryman are clipped by the at¬
tacks of these parasites. liens infest¬
ed wiili lice will not lay as many eggs
as those kept free from them. Young
chicks will not grow as fast and often
die from attacks of these parasites.
The sitting hen should be dusted at
least three times during the hatch
with a good insect powder. You can
make the following powder at home;
Take 3 parts of gasoline and 1 part
of 90-95 per cent crude carbolic acid or
the same amount of cresol or zeno
leum. Mix well, then stir in enough
plaster of paris to take up the mois¬
ture, making a dry powder. Keep the
powder in a closed can for use.
The lice hide in the fluff feathers
round the vent, in under the wings,
on the top of the head, and on the
thigh feathers. Apply the powder
particularly well in these parts, see¬
ing that it penetrates well. Provide
the hens with a wallow of fine dust
and they will try to rid themselves of
the Ucc.
Mites work on the fowls at night,
hiding in clusters in cracks and crev¬
ices, on the perches and in the nests
during the day. They suck the blood
of the birds they are on during the
night, and, when full, have a red color.
At other times they are a yellowish
white color.
Y’ou can rid your houses of mites
by thoroughly cleaning the house and
spraying all parts with 1 part of crude
carbolic acid or a good coal-tar disin¬
fectant to forty or fifty parts of water.
A kerosene emulsion may be used if
used more often. One part of kerosene
to fifteen to twenty parts of water will
be effective. Be sure to cover the nest,
roosts and cracks in the wall well with
this spray, as it must come in contact
with the mites to be effective.
