MOTHERS’ DAY
We are coming again to the obser
vance of Mothers’ Day when our
thoughts turn more especially to
the one whom, of all living human
beings, we owe the most—the one
wno.e love is never failing and who
never knew too great a sacrifice,
when the happiness and welfare of
her children are concerned.
Mothers’ Day is observed on the
second Sunday in May, this year
tailing on the eleventh, when every
one who wants to do homage to
motherhood will wear a bright
flower for thd mother living; a
white flower for the mother dead.
The carnation is favored over all
flowers. ..aii.
Mothers’ Day was originated by
Mis Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia,
who founded the Mothers’ Day In
tel national association, and the sixty
third congress passed a resolution
fixing the second Sunday in May
Mothers’ Day and making it the
duly of the president to proclaim it.
The late President Wil on issued
the first Mother.' Day proclamation
in 1914. States also have given
recognition to the day. In 1913
Nebraska designated Mothers’ Day
as a state flag day; in the same year
Pennsylvania made Mothers’ Day a
state holiday and ince 1912 gover
nors of Texas have annually pardon
ed deserving inmates of prisons on
Mothers' Day.
The original idea of Mothers’ Day
embraced the simultaneous observ
ance in every part of the world of
the day as an acknowledgement of
the love and reverence all men and
women owe to their mothers.
In addition to the wearing of flow
ers as tribute to their mothers,
those whose mothers are living, but
from whom they are separated, are
urged by the promoters of the ob
servance to visit or write them upon
Mothers' Day.
Though we stress the second Sun
day in May as Mothers’ Day, it
really ihould be every day in the
year, for it is a background in every
heart. The love felt by a mother
for her childn n and by her children
for her are things apart. They are
proved by service and sacrifice, not
by words. They need no special
emphasis.
J. P. Shelnutt, one of the oldest
citizens of Heard county, had SIO,BOO
stolen from him recently. He kept
his money in an iron box in his
trunk because he did not believe in
banks. This money was the savings
of a life time. It would have been
far better to have trusted the banks.

THE SUPREME IMPORTANCE
OF FEED CROPS.
There is real danger of over pro
duction of cotton. Everything seems
to point toward a record acreage
and if seasons should prove favor
able we might make a record crop.
And a record crop would probably
mean a price that would not pay
expenses. We are running a double
risk with the cotton crop; the risk
of failing to make a crop on ac
count of boll weevils or unfavorable
seasons, and the risk of price fall
ing on account of over-production.
In the matter of feed crops the
case is entirely different. There is
little danger of producing more than
enough feed in the county for the
county’s use and if that were done
any surplus could be easily taken
care of. Now is the time to decide
what amount of feed will be requir
ed for our present livestock. When
this has been determined suffic ent
land should be set aside to produce
this feed even in case of unfavor
able seasons. We should take no
chances on'this, but be certain that
the land set aside would fully meet
our needs. Then we should ask an
other question: Would it not be good
busine s to increase our livestock?
And if so we should set aside ad
ditional land to produce the feed
necessary to take care of as much
as we think would be profitable.
The experience of other sections
over long periods of time indicates
that we are keeping less livestock
than is needed for the best type of
farming. Farm dairying that is the
milking of some cows in connection
with farming has been found to be
a very reliable source of income
where sufficient feed is produced on
the farm. Our lack of feed stuff
is keeping us out of this business
which might well serve to tide us
over our present difficulties. In
considering our feed .requirements
let us take into account the pos
sibility of increasing our livestock,
particularly out dairy cows.
Os course the corn crop takes first
place among our feed crops. Prob
ably on most of our farms as much
as one-third of the cultivated land
should go into corn. Os course in
the rich valley lands this should
produce a surplus and where these
are available possibly if would be
wise to reduce some what the acre
age in corn and turn some of the
land into other feed crops like soy
beans. Another thing, in planting
our corn lets not over load the fu
ture, lets plant some legume crop,
peas, velvet beans or soy beans with
the corn to be turned back into the
ground and make it more profitable
in future production. In view of
the fact that our oat crop was de
stroyed by the cold weather we
should perhaps add to our corn crop
in proportion.
The production of hay is in one
way even more important than the
production of corn. That is owing
to its bulk and high frieght rates
there is an even heavier loss in hav
ing to buy roughage than in having
to buy concentrates.
For dairy purposes we have ro an
nual hay crop that is equal to the
soy beans, especially the otootan
nnd laredo varieties. Every farm
should have a good acreage of these.
They can be planted from May to
July with good results.
Velvet beans also make a good
dairy hay. And both of these the
velvet beans and soy beans provide
in their seed part of the concentrates
for the cow’s ration.
Those who prefer to grow peas
should plant a plenty of them as
their production per acre is not
equal to the soys and velvets.
For general hays, especially for
work stock, those who have herds
grass already seeded are to be con
sidered fortunate, ar d every one
who has adapted land should as soon
as possible get it seeded.
Where one is not so fortunate, a
good yield of hay can be made with
-udan grass which can be planted
during May a d June. Os course
sorghum is a great hay crop and
where one has Johnson grass al
| ready growing it can be made into
hay that is good enough if cut early
enough.
With all these crops to choose
I from and a country well adapted to
i food production we should certainly
manage next winter to have not
i only plenty of hay for the stock
we now have but should be able to
Teed a few more cows and hogs than
we have been doing.

POISONING THE
801 I. WEEVIL.
The so-called government method
of controlling the boll weevil by
the use of poison is outlined as fol
lows:
It wilil pay to poison—
If the weevil are really injuring
your crop seriously; and
If your land is sufficiently fertile
to yield at least one-third bale per
sen* with weevil injury eliminated;
and
If your farming organization is
such that you feel assured that the
poison appFcations will be made at
the right time and in the righ.’
manner, and
If you «re willing to spend the
full amount necessary to provide an
adequate »upply of dusting ma
chinery and poison.
You should not poison if the cost
of the calcium arsenate, the cost ,>f
the labor to apply it, and the depre
ciation on the dusting machines
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1924.
will total more per acre than the
;urrent value of 100 pounds of seed
:otton.
Hand guns should be figured ag
lepreciating 100 per cent in a sea
ion and the larger machines about
!5 per cent.
Use only pure calcium arsenate in
.he form of a dry powder.
Apply this only in the dust form.
Purchase this to conform to the
following specifications:
Not less than 40 per cent total ar
senic pentoxid.
Not more than 0.75 per cent water
soluble ar enic pentoxid.
Density not less than 80 or more
than 100 cubic inches per pound.
Use only dusting machinery espe
cially constructed for cotton dusting.
Poison only when the air is calm
and the plaints are mo st. Practi
cally this means making only night
applications.
Use about five to seven pounds of
calcium arsenate per acre for each
application.
Start poisoning when the weevils
have punctured from ten to fifteen
per cent of the squares.
Keep your cotton thoroughly dust
ed until the weevils are under con
trol. This usually means about
three applications at the rate of
one every four days.
Then stop poisoning until the
weevils aga n becomes abundant.
If the weevils become abundant
early enough to injure your young
bolls, make one or two more appli
cations late in the season.
If you have a heavy rain within
24 hours after dusting, repeat this
application immediately.
Do not expect to eradicate the
weevils. Poi oning merely controls
them sufficiently to permit a full
crop of cotton and you can always
find weevils in the successfully poi
soned field.
Keep your cotton acreage low and
do everything possible to increase
your yield per acre, as it costs just
as much to poison a small yield as'
a large one.
Always leave an occasional por
tion of a cut unpoisoned for com
parison with the adjoining poison
ed tract. This will show how much
you have increased your yield by
poisoning.

BRING OUT THE BEST
Jid you ever stop to think what
kind of a woman your wife would
have been if you had not asked her
to marry you? Or did you ever
magi, e what type of man your hus
band would have been if you had
lot answered, “yes."
What have you done to increase or
develop your life partners talents.
Whether you are aware of it or not,
you have either brought out the best
side of this partner’s life or buried
all that was good in him or her.
How frequently your opinion of a
man a d some one el.-e’s do not
tally! You will often say: I can’t
see how Brown tolerates Jones; he’s
the meanest man i i the world; And
yet Brown has found the better
side of Jones.
Have you found the better side ot
your husband or wife? Have you
do e anything to bring that better
side to the front?—Nashville Her

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One. How
it Uan be Done in Summerville.
The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame that to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply a plaster to the
back if the kidneys are weak. You
; e.a - not reach the cause. Summer
ville residents would do well to
profit by the following example.
Mrs. J. C. Ball, North Hamilton
St. Dalton, Ga., says ; ‘ Doan’s
Pil s cured me if kidney troub’e and
I have not had occasion to use them
si - ce recommending them before. I
know the cure is permanent. When
1 suffered from weak, irregu’ar ac
tion of my kidneys, Doan's Pill
were the only remedy that helped
me. 1 had aches and. sharp pai r s
through my back and tired easily
after dome a little work. I can
speak highly of Doan’s Pills and
pass on this g.\d word th.-: others

HONESTY IN TAXES
Everybody pays taxes.
We maye not own a bit of land or
a house. We may not have a penny
,n the bank, or even a War Savi. gs
Stamp left over from the war.
But we pay taxes just as surely
as if we owned town houses, coun
try homes and broad acres of farm
lands, stocks and bonds, bank ac
cou. ts, mills, factories or railroads.
We all have to eat er starve to
death. If the owner of the pronerty
,n which the grocer has his store
has to pay higher taxes, the grocer
,ias to pay higher rent and we have
to pay the grocer higher prices for
our food. .
We all have to sleep if we want
to live. If the person who own?
the house where we live has to pay
higher taxes, then we have to pay
higher rent, of course.
If the railroads have to pay high
er taxes, they have to charge higher
rates to haul everything we con
sume, and naturally, the increase is
lacked on to the paying end—that s
where the ultimate consumer hooks
on.
Out of every eight dollars of our
national i come, one dollar goes for
axes—federal, state and local.
This means that the boy whose
expenses are eigfht dollars a week
pays one dollar in taxes jn the form
of price- made higher by taxation.
The same ration prevails, regard
ess of the cost of living, though you
may rot own a dollar’s worth of
taxable property.
When it comes to dealing with the
question of taxes, we need to be
more honest withourselves.
We need to understand that we
can not continue to load on over
head and not have our pocketbooks
feel it.
Governments are like individuals.
The only way they can economize is
to spend less money. As long as
people clamor for legislation to cure
this or that fancied evil, just so
'ong will taxes continue to be high
and in sonje cases oppre sive.

MOTHERS’ DAY
The second Sunday in the month of
May
Is set aside for Mothers’ Day,
What words or thoughts can we
convey
To be appropriate what shall we
say.
Mother’s love is stronger than death
I Her devotion is unsurpassed,
She will never forsake you
As long as life doth last.
Your dad may turn against you
Your brother and sister too,
But mother will adways stand by you
No matter what you do.
Should you ever get to heaven
i The first one you will see,
I Will be mother standing at the gate
Waiting and watching for thee.
J Mother will look beautiful there
Her face shining like the sun,
'She has received her full reward
The victory has been won.
All of you who have mother’s living
And you are far away,
Write and tell her that you love her
For this is mothers’ day.
I M
Let us now place all our thoughts
To mother on this day,
I For the debt that we owe her
We none can ever pay.
i .
May God Bless and keep our mothers
While here on earth they stay,
And when they reach that land on
high
It will be always mothers’ day.
