Sunday, evan geiist for revenue only, has hand cd in the company of Uoscoc {Fatty) Arbuckle and says that debauchee should lie turned spoil free. If is a great pity that silence cannot be maintained in the news papers relative to that Frisco de baueli. Tlieffe is no lesson in it wort liy of public attent ion. The Tiihunc learns that the Pine Grove school house, located in the southwestern part of the county, was destroyed by fire some days ago. The indications are that it was the work of an incendiary. Mr. Silas White had commenced a term of school in the building on the previous Monday morning and taught onlv two or three days when the house was burned. He says there had been no fire there the days he taught. Picric acid is about 125 per cent, as strong as 20 per cent, dynamite. It is put up in six ounce cartridges and according to government ex ports is well adopted to blowing stumps in Georgia. < >nc million pounds of these cartridges are to be sold by the goveenmeut to the farmers of Georgia at 7c. per pound, if they wdli blow up stumps, the price is cheap and a fine invest ment for the farmers having stumps in their field. For sale by county agents. Judging from a news item, eman ating from Valdosta, a great mis take is current relative to loans by the Land Banks —one is that the Land Banks have ceased to receive applications for loans. This is not the fact; the trouble, and the onlv trouble, just now is the shortage of appraisers which permits the accumulation of applications and makes the granting of loans very slow. Farm Loan Commissioner Loddell, at Washington, promises to remedy this by increasing ap p raisers. If the government is to investi gale the secret order, K. K. lv., consistency should dictate that it investigate all other secret organiz ations. It. has been ludily demon strated that much of the wrongs to government and society have emanated from secret conclaves other than the Ku Klux Klan. All good American citizens should stand together for law and order, but they should not hide under a cloud of secrecy. Much that is done in secret can’t bear the sun light of publicity. It. would be some commentary on the dominant political party should the disarmament party meet in Washington before peace with Gcnmuiy becomes a varity. There is a possibility of it being that way. The moment’Senator Lodge presented the peace resolu tion to the Senate opposition, strong and determined, showed itself and the tight may delay’ rati lieatiou beyond the meeting of the disarmament conference, despite President Harding's anxiety to have it over with quickly. The l'aw sou News excuses Pres ident Harding, who is a cigarette Head, with this argument: "The cigarette has beeu much maligned. Smokers are just beginning to re alize that it is the cleanest method of smoking tobacco, A cigarette is simply made of tobacco rolled in a thin paper. It burns freely, most of the nicotine being strained through the soft tobacco as the smoker draws for an inhalation or for the more amateurish puff. Lit tle of the nicotine reaches the mouth of the smoker. It is much more refined, by virtue of being cleaner, than the pipe or cigar. The cigar smoker both smokes and Chews tobacco at the same time." SELECTING SEEDS. Farmers, thoroughly interested in their vocation, will tell yon that the success of agriculture depends upon the farmer having the very best of seeds for the foundation of his crops. They will tell you further that at harvest is ihe time for seed se lection. When yen are ready to gather your crop of corn you should first go into the field and select therefrom the largest, best developed and healthiest looking ears. These should be kept in a separate place and under the most favorable conditions possible. Cottonseed for the succeeding crop should be selected from the best boll specimens found in the field. This cotton should be liarv ested separately, ginned separately, and the uumixed seed kept with care. It is stated as a fact upon ample demonstrations that, to reap the best results in melon growing, the seeds must be taken from melons grown nearest the parent stalk, and melons must not be grown on the same land two years in succes sion. it is peculiar, but nevertheless true, that you cannot save genuine Rocky Ford canteloupe seed from your crop of canteloujies. You must get fresh seed every year from whence they thrive best. If there lias ever been an explanation for this verity the Tribune editor lias never had it called to his attention. in selecting sugar-cane for seed farmers invariably choose those stalks with the shortest joints. They say it insures a better stand and the thicker the stand, they say, the better growth will be ob tained. The Tribune editor overheard a discussion between two Atkinson county farmers on the subject of maintaining the purity of sweet potatoes. Wlmt they had to say was interesting, while their con clusions might he ever so erroue ous. They said that the best plan in to use slips from the original potatoes, or plant your seed pota toes and when they have budded out use for planting that part of the vine nearest the seed potato. No one, however, will gainsay the fact that success in farming depends upon good seed, and that in order to have the best seed tlie farmer must use good judgment and care. Farming is a science, and requires a degree of skill and learning seldom accorded it.

STARVE THE WEEVIL The general report is that the cotton crop of Atkinson has practi cally been harvested, and in some fields the cotton stalks are still green. This being the ease no finer op portunity could be afforded to eliminate the boll weevil by starv ation. Experts say that by taking a cotton stalk cutter and cut the green stalks down and leave no green cotton leaves for them to feed on the weevil will starve. It is worth the experiment, and the Tribune urges its farmer friends to give it a trial now, when tiie time is so propitious—with the cotton harvested and may be some time until frost. As soon as there is a killing frost it w ould be another good idea to turn these same stalks under good and deep and thus destroy such w eevils as may have survived. it has been demonstrated this year that by diligence a fair crop of cotton can be grown in Atkin son county, and w hile the Tribune is far from advising the farmers to turn their attention exclusively to cotton growing, it does advise that they grow some. The nations of the earth must be e lot bed —they depend upon our cotton for this purpose —and hence the necessity for the farmers of Atkinson county helping to grow cotton. It would be helpful for the farm ers of Atkinson county to grow a medium crop of cotton: it would bo harmful for them to grow noth ing else but cotton. PEARSON TRIBUNE. PEARSON, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 30, 1921 ECHOES FROM PRESS MEET. Kindly Comment on the Occa sion and Entertainment. From the Adel News. Pearson entertained the Elev enth District Press Association Monday and a royal reception was given the visitors by the citizens of that progressive city and the county of Atkinson. The meeting was held in Atkinson county’s beautiful new court house and opened with a fervent invocation by llcv. Christopher, Baptist pas Lor there. The address of welcome was delivered by Col. B. T. Alien, editor of the Pearson Tribune, and lie made every visitor feel at home by his warm hearted and cordial welcome. He gave some of the history of the tow-n and county which was very interesting, calling attention to tiie fact that the first paper printed in that immediate section was published by the father of Mr. E. L. Turner, business man ager of the Valdosta 'Times. Mrs. \V. H. Robinson, president of the association, and editor of the Foikston Herald, responded to the address of welcome on behalf of the association in a happy manner. Mrs. Robinson presided and Mr. L. li. Jenkins, of the Alma 'Times, secretary of the association, at tended to his duties. The association then adjourned for dinner which was served by Mrs. Malone, proprietress of the Pearson hotel, and a great dinner it was. The biggest, fattest tur keys in the community had been prepared for the occasion, along with the best chickens, roasts, etc. that could be found anywhere. Assisted by other ladies of the city, Mrs. Malone had prepared a feast that was thoroughly enjoyed. On behalf of tiie visitors, Mr. Algee spoke fit ting w ords of appreciation, to which Mrs, Malone modestly re sponded. The people of Atkinson county art-justly proud of the Pearson Tribune, it is a splendid paper. The following resolutions were introduced by Mr. Flanders and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the Eleventh District Press Association extend thanks to Miss Mabel Hogeboom and Mr. \Y. L. Sprouse for their excellent addresses contributing much to tiie success of the pro gram. Resolved, that we extend to Editor B. T. Alien and to the good people of Pearson, our thanks for the very excellent entertainment extended to tis. From the OelUa Star. The Eleventh District Press As sociation met at Pearson Monday with a fair attendance of news paper peoplo. A good program was carried out, which will no doubt prove beneficial to those who were present. Problems pecu liar to the printing business were discussed by those who had had experience along the lines under discussion. Leaving out of account the writer, the press gang is a fine bunch to meet with, and it is an occasion always enjoyed. Editor B. T. Allen, in his wel come address gave a very interest ing history of the newspaper busi ress in Pearson, dating back mauy years, even to the time when a home made picks was used, the bed being a heavy slab of marble and the roller being turned out of a pine log. Pearson; though an old town, is a young county site, and there are plenty of evidences of the new life that comes to a town that becomes a county site. Its people have the old time Southern hospitality in its perfection, and the only regret they seemed to have was that there were not more guests. The good ladies of the town under the leader -ship of Mrs. Malone, had prepared a most delightful dinner, to which that bunch of hungry editors paid a most eloquent though speechless tribute. The program was varied a bit from the regular course of talking shop by fine addresses from Miss Mabie Hogeboom, Home Demon stration Agent of Ware county and by Mr. W. L. Sprouse, Boy Scout j Executive of the Okeefeenokee i Council. Editor Herring, of Tifton, was! there and added considerably to the success of the day. When the! time came for invitations for the } next meeting, he extended an in- j vilation to meet in Tifton, which | was backed up by Mr. W. E. Algee. Secretary of the Chamber of Coin- i merce, and though Tifton is located j outside the Eieventy District, tiie invitation was unanimously accept ed. This meeting will be held on the third Monday in January. From the Charlton County Herald. The Eleventh District Press As sociation met at Pearson Monday and ihe meeting proved Ihe most profitable and enjoyable that the association has held during the past year. The meeting was held in tiie beautiful new Atkinson county court house. Rev. Christo pher, of the Baptistchurch, offered the invocation, after which tiie ad dress of welcome was delivered by Col. I>. T. Allen, editor of the Pear son Tribune, one of the best edited of Georgia’s weeklies. The re sponse was made by the president of tiie association, Mrs. Robinson, editor of the Charlton County Herald. At the noon hour a very fine turkey dinner was served at the beautiful hotel Malone by Mrs. Malone assisted by the ladies of Pearson. From the* Clinch County News. Pearson, Atkinson CougftY, was tbeciiarrning hostess to the Editors of the Eleventh district lasi Mon day, and the day w ill be long re membered by all those lucky guests. 'The occasion was the regular meeting of the Eieventy District Press Association. These meet ings are held three times a year and each is an event of profit and pleasure to those who attend. The meetings, morningand after noon, were held in the Atkinson county courthouse, a handsome and modern structure, almost com pieted, which reflects credit on the new county and its progressive people. The meetings were presid ed over by Mrs. W. H. 1 tobiusou of Foikston, the Association’s able president. 'The program began with invoca tion by Rev. Christopher, followed by an address of welcome by Editor Allen of Pearson, who not only gave the visitors a cordial welcome but gave some newspaper history of this section of the past that was of unusual interest to Hie Editors. Short talks and addresses were made by practically all the news paper men present, which were in (cresting and helpful. Dinner was served the guests in the dining room of the Hotel Ma lone, Mrs. Malone being assisted in preparing and serving by several of tiie ladies of Pearson. The din ner was really a royal feast, pre pared in a most excellent manner. The hungry editors made a heavy onslaught, charged and counter charged, but they failed to make much sign on those big platters piled high with fried chicken, tur key, salads, Bruusw ieks stew, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Flem C. Dame and Dr. L. 11. Dame, of Homervilie, at tended and greatly enjoyed tiie occasion. From the Alma Times. The Eleventh District Press As sociation met in Pearson on last Monday, the 19th, and the news paper folks were royally entertain ed by the people of that thriving little city. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 o'clock by the president. Mrs. \Y. H. Robinson, of Foikston. The welcome address was deliv ered by Editor Allen of the Pear son Triune, who made the editors feel perfectly at home in his little city, Mr. Alien gave a short sketch of the histery of the newspaper business in Pearson, which was very interesting and much enjoyed by the members. The response was by Mrs. W. H- Robinson, president of IheAssoeia tiou. A short talk by Editor John L. Herring, of The Tifton Gazette. NEW FALL AND WINTER MILLINERY.

EAGLE “MiKADO”> No. 174 For Sale at your Dealer Made in five grade* ASK FOR THE YELLOW PENCIL WITH THE RED BAND EAGLE MIKADO EAGLE PENCIL COMPANY, NEW YORK An Address by Mr. \V. E. Algee, Secretary of the ’Tifton Board of Trade, after which Editor Allen announced that Lunch was awak ing at the hotel, which announce ment was received with a great deal of enthusiasm by the editors. W e arc a pretty good judge when it comes to good tilings to eat, and take it from us, the ladies of Pear son can’t be beat when it comes to fixing something good to eat. We were at the same table with Jack Williams and Editor Herring and they will bear us out in the state ment that the ladies of Pearson are past masters in the art. 'The meeting was called to order again at 2 o'clock and a short busi ness session was held, and then there were more talks by the diff erent members of the association. Tifton was selected as flic next meeting place on invitation from Brother Herring, supplemented by Mr. Algee, Secretary of the Tifton Board of Trade. Mr. Algee said that the people of 'Tifton might not be able to feed us as well as the good people of Pi-arson had done, but lie would assure us that we would not starve while in his city. 'The editor had to leave at this juncture, as we were there in a "Fliver," a long way to go so we are sure that we missed some of the best things Pearson had for us. Anyway, if We ever have another chance we are going to Pearson again.
