The comparatively small number
of persons voting in the election of
June loth must be very unsatisfac¬
tory to the citizens of White coun¬
ty, and especially by the county
authorities who purpose to carry
out the expressed will of the peopl
Of the 1123 persons recently
registering—and they are not alt
who are entitled to register—only
714 cast a ballot in expression of
their will upon this all-important
question. There are at least then
4I5 other persons in (lie county
who were entitled to vote, and who
would have been permitted to vole
had they attended a voting pre¬
cinct. Some of these would have
voted for bonds; some would have
voted against bonds; hut who
knows, had these voted, what the
result would have been, for they
held the balance of power in their
hands, hence it is fiat they who
are selected to do the will of t he
people may feel this expression of
indifference in their efforts to serve
and to serve the whole people.
Returns from the various pre¬
cincts have been consolidated and
the result of the election declared
that bonds have carried.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR THE DAIRYMAN
Exports Are Continually Grow¬
ing Larger.
There is every reason to expect that
the demand tor dairy cattle, milk and
its products will continue to increase.
Although dairy cattle have increased
from twenty million to approximately
twenty-four million since the beginning
of the war, yet th» demand for cattle
of all breeds and grades seems to be
on the increase. Especially is this
true since the signing of the armistice
between the allied nations and the cen¬
tral powers. This demand has been
increased on account of there being
shipping facilities for exporting these
different products.
However, we do not expect to ship
as many dairy cattle as the average
farmer expects us to ship to European
countries. European farmers are not
able to pay the price for these cattle,
and what is going to be done will be
a building up of the already depleted
herds of those countries rather than
pay the high prices that American cat
tie demand. Jt seems, therefore, that
the people of the devastated countries
will demand dairy products to that
extent that unless we increase the
number of cattle in this country we,
ourselves, will suffer a great deal.
The following figures will show the
extent of our exportation of dairy prod¬
ucts to those countries. These ex¬
ports are at the present on the de¬
cline. In 1910 there were exported to
European countries:
Condensed milk . . .13,312,000 pounds
Cheese......2,846,709 pounds
flutter...... 3,140,545 pounds
In 191S there were exported to Eu¬
ropean countries;
Condensed milk . .529,750,032 pounds
Cheese..... 44,330,978 pounds
Butter....... 17,735,966 pounds
We should expect then that
the people of Europe would be
knocking at our doors continually
for dairy products in the
next decade or more. This demand
would undoubtedly decrease, but by
that time under proper methods of
advertising dairy products in this
country, we would have developed
such a demand among our people
that there would not be any decrease
in the price of these products.
GOOD WORK DONE
BY COUNTY AGENTS
According to Director J. Phil Camp¬
bell, 79,746 Georgia farmers worked
in co-operation with the county agents
of the Georgia State College of Agri¬
culture last year as "demonstrators.”
j j These men represented the best agri
j cultural thought and practice in their
respective communities and under the
direction of the county agents cultivat¬
ed 471,857 acres of corn, cotton and
other farm crops for demonstration
purposes.

TO TRY POISONING
OF BOLL WEEVIL
Georgia State College Of Agri¬
culture To Make Tests.
Since the advent of the boll weevil
efforts have been made to control the
post by poisoning. The first efforts
were unsuccessful, but later experi¬
ments have given more promising re¬
sults.
All early efforts were directed to¬
ward applying poison in such manner
that the boll weevil would take it in
feeding. The feeding habit, of the wee¬
vil made this practically impossible,
for the weevil has a long, slender
snout, and feeds largely on the in
ner tissues of the plant. It inis been
determined, however, that the wee¬
vil drinks water very regularly and
drinks from the rain or dew which
collects in droplets on the plant. It
occurred to the Investigators that an
effort to poison the drinking water of
(he weevil would probably be more
successful. Experiments were con¬
ducted to determine this point and
these were decidedly successful.
Several methods of application and
several forms of poisons have been
experimented with. The greatest de¬
gree of success has been obtained from
the use of arsenicals carrying high per¬
centages of arsenic pentoxide and ap¬
plied in powdered form with a dust
gun. Calcium arsenate seems to be
the most desirable form in that it has
a high percentage of arsenic pentox¬
ide and is relatively inexpensive. Since
the poison is to he taken from the
droplets of water, it is more effective
if applied when the plants are moist
from dew or rain. The investigators
are still experimenting with methods
of application, and the methods' that
are found most effective will be rec¬
ommended to the cotton growers.
These discoveries are valuable in
that they will greatly decrease the cost
of production of cotton in weevil in¬
fested territories, since the cost of
application was the objection to the
first methods tried. A few demonstra¬
tions of the methods suggested in this
article will be made this year under
the direction of the Georgia State Col¬
lege of Agriculture and if you are in¬
terested, get in touch with your coun¬
ty agent.
