If you bring up your children to
disregard your authority, and do
not punish them for disobedience
you are preparing them for a crim
iual record in the future. Respect
for parental authority means law

Disobedience at home; disregard
for family government, means
criminality in the future. Are
you raising criminals or good citi

The Savannah News lias just
■worked up to the revival of rice
growing along the Georgia coast-,
and that in the face’ of the fact
that a modern rice mill has just
been erected in that city. It, must
be supposed that the owners of the
mill know from whence the necec
sary rough rice is to come for its
operation. Why not Georgia raise
rice for home consumption and
some for their neighbors?
The Valdosta Times advises
against increasing the watermelon
acreage next year. The Tribune
is of the same opinion. What the
melon growers should do is not to
increase the acreage, but Jhe size
and quality of their products. It
is apparent that melons weighing
thirty pounds and above, and of
fine flavor, yields the better price
and is the only kind that will
prove satisfactory and maintain
the industry.
The general consensus of public
opinion is that the modern ku
Klux Klau is a nuisance and should
l»e abated; that it is an organiza
tion without a purpose and no
■where to go. The Tribune thinks
the same organization, with the
same high purposes in view, but
■with a different name would lie
better. Too many people are prej
udiced against it because they
have learned to despise the name.
It is an organization in which you
cannot apply for membership.
Senator Underwood has definite
ly settled the question that he will
accept membership in the disarma
ment conference to be held in

sists that polities will play no part
in t|jo conference and that the re

world. He says: “1 think the
1o u r men representing the
United States at the conference
can stand as an unit on all (pies
lions and will favor disarms
meat to an extent that will be real
in its effect.” He believes the
conference will succeed in con vine
ing the representatives of other
nations that the wise and proper
thing to do is to reduce armament
burdens in their respective coun
tries.

CUR POTATO LESSON
Information reaches the Tribune
(hat the ear load of sweet potatoes
shipped from Pearson to New York
eily some days ago was more than
a total loss to the shippers.
The shipment was an experiment,
the shippers to k chances of win
uing or losing and —they lost. The
lesson it brought to our potato
growers may not prove too costly,
if they will only consider them
well.
To the Tribune mind there are
several lessons paid for in this
transaction: One of these is that
South Georgiasweet potatoes must
precede to market those of Virginia,
Maryland and New Jersey to sell
them for a profit. These states
get their plants from South Geor
gia just as early as they can trans
plant them without fear of frost,
and thus succeed in having pota
toes on the market by the middle
or last of July. So t hat green po
tatoes from South Georgia must
reach northern markets by the
middle or last of June to bring a
profitable price.
Another and stubborn lesson is
that South Georgia potato growers
must not depend upon the nurser
ies for early plants; they must pro
vide their own plants and have
them transplanted much earlier
than the nurseries begin shipping
their plants to the North to com
pete with them.
The third lesson is one which
the Tribune attempted to impress
upon the minds of its readers last
winter and spring. It is that the
general crop of South Georgia
sweet potatoes cannot be shipped
to market profitably in the green
state. They should be cured and
kept off the market until April
and May when they would be
without competition and be #i p<>
sitiou to choose their markets.
Atkinson county potato growers
should have sufficient c n ring
houses to care for not less than
100,000 bushels.
As the Tribune sees it, unless
the South Georgia sweet potatoes
can reach the Northern markets in
the. manner indicated they are
worthless as a money crop to South
Georgians.
THE PRESS MEET.
The Tribune desires the citizens
of Pearson and Atkinson county to
feel a perfect freedom in attending
the sessions of the Press Conven
tion to be held here next Monday.
Their presence will lie much to its
success.
It is true the program presents
in the main subjects which, from a
casual view, appears to be special
to newspaper publishers and in
which the general public has no in
terest. This is a mistaken idea;
the public is interested in every
item on the-program but, perhaps,
in differing degrees.
Every community should be, if
it is not, deeply interested in the
success of their local newspaper,
the mouthpiece of its publicity;
the citizens should want their local
paper make a neat and prosperous
appearance and, therefore, should
feel an interest in all those things
which help to elevate and st rengt li
en it.
l arge audiences should be given
to the addresses of Miss Hogebootn.
the Ware county demonstration
agent, at 11:30 in the morning, and
that of Mr. W. L. Sprouse, The
Okefenokee District Scout Execu
tive, at 3:30 in the afternoon.
These are attractive numbers for
our girls and boys.
In this connection the Tribune
takes the liberty of saying that
the men and women composing the
Eleventh District Dress Associa
tion are people of education, cul
ture, wide vision, leaders of
t bought and action, as well as faith
ful sentinels in the watclitowers of
their several communities an d
whose opinions are sought in be
half of every progressive movement
inaugurated in their communities.
They have accepted Pearson's
invitation to come here on this oe
casiou, and they will come to Pear
sou for mutual helpfulness. They
expect to catch an inspiration from
the people of Pearson, and why
should not the hosts get a new
vision from their guests?
Indeed, the convention can be
made mutually helpful.
PEARSON TRIBUNE. PEARSON, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER IG, 1921
MS. J. W. DOUGLASS
LOSSES FINE RESIDENCE
Fire of Unknown Origin Destroys
One of Allendale’s Homes.
From Allendale (S. O.) Citizen.
Fire, originating from an un
known cause, destroyed the home
of Mr. .1. W. Douglass here on last
Saturday morning at about 12:00
o’clock. The home was located on
the outskirts of Allendale and was
one of the prettiest in the entire
town. It was purchased last sum
mer from Mr. J. L. Carlton, and
with the improvements recently
made since the purchase, made by
Mr. Douglass, it was one of the
most expensive residences in the
town limits.
The fire was discovered after it
had made considerable headway,
and despite valiant service on the
part of the volunteer firefighters
of the town, both white and color
ed, the only success of their efforts
was the saving of a portion of the
furniture of the home. As the
house was so far from water con
nection, it. was impossible to make
any fight against- the flames.
The origin of the fire remains a
mystery. It was first discovered
on t he second story of the dwelling,
and as no one was in that part of
the house at that time, no definite
cause of the tire can be given. It
is presumed that it was the work
■of rats with matches that caused
the flames. There was a small
fire in the stove of the kitchen,
but the weather was so wet and
the roof so damp, that the supposi
tion that the fire might have ori
ginated from a spark seems almost
incredible.
The loss was partly covered by
insurance. The dwelling was reas
onably valued at $15,000.00, with
about $7,000.00 insurance. Some
quick service was rendered the
losers of this property by the com
missiouer of public works and the
Southern Bell Telephone Company,
as Mr. Douglass stated that bis
waterworks and lights had been
connected and bis telephone install
ed before dark oil the day of the
lire. The large garage Has been
(inverted into an impromptu re
sidence by Mr. Douglass and he
and his family will live there until
arrangements for building lias
been made.
A negro camp nice ling is on in
Mitchell county this week. The
handbill advertisement of the meet
ing is unique to say the least of it.
It praised the “Showers of Bless
iugs" expected to appear upon the
scene. It then proceeds to give
sonic splendid advice to prospee
tive visitors. It gives the time
and place and enumerates tlic min
isterial lights who would illumin
ate the occasion, assures all plenty
of food, and closes with the lucid
instructions: “Leave your guns
and whiskey at home."
The committee appointed by
Governor Hardwick to investigate
(he cause of the wreck on the A..
B. &. A. railroad, near Atlanta, in
which Engineer Morris lost his life,
held the hearing in the Senate
Chamber in the State Capitol last
Tuesday and Wednesday. The
evidence is strongly against the
theory that defective track and
and equipment figured in the dis
aster. Just when the findings of
the commission will be made to
the governor, aud what it w ill be
is unknown.
The trial of O. C. Fairfield, one
of the striking employees of the
A.. B. & A. railroad, is on at Fitz
gerald, before Judge Bower, of the
Cordele circuit. The trial is ex
pected to be a long aud tedious one.
the charge against him is "iutinii
dation aud conspiracy against em
ployees" of the railroad. The
State seems to be making a stroug
case against the defendant.
The beauties of the pot metal
stuff sent out bv the W X U is ill
ustrated in the fact that some of its
patrons are still publishing thafc
| fake story about Villa, the dirty
looking Mexican bandit, living on
his farm as a gentlemen, if that
story ever was news it is now
stale enough to stink.

Saving Corn From Weevils.
After harvesting corn the farmer
has still auother battle to fight be
fore he can enjoy the fruits of his
labor. The corn weevil can de
stroy his crop when in the crib as
well as drought, cutworms or smut
can in the field. With the large
corn crop grown in Georgia last,
year,the Georgia farmer is taking
more iuterest in controlling this
evil. The Georgia Experiment
Station has of late received a large
number of inquiries in regard to
methods of controlling the weevil.
There are several insects which
attacks corn in storage. All of
these have small whitish larva that
bore into the corn and cause the
damage. The adult is either a
little moth, the so-called “fly wee
vil,” or a small beetle, the common
weevil.
The corn shuck, provided it fits
closely around the ear and extends
well out over it, will protect the
corn from most 'weevils. Loose
damaged or poorly developed
shucks do not protect corn, but
serve rather as a protection to the
weevil. There appears to be a
good opportunity for the corn
breeder to develop a variety of
corn with a well developed shuck
that will protect the corn against
the attacks of weevils.
Gorn with long tight shucks in
good condition needs no treatment
in storage, as the shucks will keep
the weevils out, Such ears may
be stored by themselves without
further care. The corn with loose
or damage shucks should either be
fed at once, or fumigated with car
bon disulphid.
In order to fumigate with carbon
disulphid it is necessary to have
the corn in an air light container.
This may be a crib with tight walls
and floor and close fitting doors
and windows, a specially construct
ed box, water tight barrel I, or even
a tin pail, depending on the amount
of corn to be fumigated. • The es
neutral tiling is that it be as near
tight as possible. The container
should not be much larger than is
necessary to hold the corn, as the
amount of carbon disulphid used
depends on the size of the contain
or aud not the amount of corn or
the number of weevils. Corn
should always be shucked before
fumigating, as the shuck will pre
vent the gas penetrating the corn.
Carbon disulphid is a heavy
liquid which evaporates very
rapidly and forms a very heavy
gas. This gas will explode if afire
of any sort is brought near it. For
t his reason carbon disulphid should
never be used in a building where
there is a lire.
If the corn is in an airtight con
tainer three to five pounds of car
bon disulphid per 1000 cubic feet
of space is enough. This may be
applied by making several holes in
the top of the pile oi corn, pour
ing the carbon disulphid in, and
then closing up the bole. The car
bon disulphid will not injure either
the germination or the feeding
value of the corn.
Carbon disulphid is not poison
ous. but will produce a severe
headachejf too much of the gas
is inhaled.
K. P. Bledsoe,
Agronomist.
Waddelle’s Opinion.
"One of the most satisfactory
tilings about the tire business."
says W. 11. Waddcllc, dealer in
United States tires, "is the way
tires have improved in the last
few years. Not so many years ago
even the best tires were none too
good, but to day a ear owner who
buys a tire with a good reputation
is sure of getting his money's worth,
there are plenty of 'wild cat' tires
on the market but a dealer who
wants to stay in business perman
ently soon learns that such tiros
only lose him customers.
"United States Royal Cord tires
hold the world's records for mile
age, both for a single tire and fora
full set. J. D. Adams & Company
of Kansas City hold the record for
a single tire with 66.000 miles, and
a Boston merchant carries off the
palm for a set of four with 39,152
miles.” .
