DELOACH SAYS WEEVIL CONTROL
NOT HARD IF PROPERLY DONE
Moultrie, Ga., May 14.—Con¬
trolling the boll weevil is not as big
a task nor as expensive a one as
the average cotton grower thinks,
Dr. J. R. DeLoach, noted authori¬
ty, told members of the Moultrie
Chamber of Commerce and leading
farmers from all sections of Col¬
quitt county at a meeetiug held
here last night. The important
thing, Dr. DeLoach said is to do
the work at the right time, and if
the job is throughly doue a cotton
crop is assured.
The time to put out poison is
when the cotton is young, or about
ten days prior to the appearance of
the first squares, with two or three
applications about five days apart,
the cotton expert asserted. This
work should be done, he emphasi¬
zed, regardless of whether there
are visible signs of the boll weevil’s
appearance in the field* "Don’t
look for boll weevils. It is uot
necessary, lust assume they are
tuere and poison thoroughly,” was
Dr. DeLoach’s advice.
He advocated the picking up of
the firsl squares that fall from the
plants. If the poisoning is done as
it should be and squares are gath¬
ered up during the period mention¬
ed, there is likelihood of auy fur¬
ther efforts of weevil coutrol being
required, Dr. DeLoach said. He
advised the cotton growers how
after the plants begin to loom and
said that if any are found there
should be futher applications of
poison.
In explaining why the fight on
the weevil should be started early
—and the times at hand in South
Georgia—Dr. DeLoach said that
such a step required much less
poison and less time, for the reason
that the plants when small are
more easily covered. He did uot
reccommend any special method
of poisoning, but said whether dry
calcium arseuate or syrup mixture
is used the eutire stalk of cotton
must be covered, or the "job is only
half done.” He declared that fif¬
teen pounds of dry calcium arsen
ete is sufficient to poison an acre
of coltou, if properly applied, but
did not recommend limiting the
amount of poison to be used.

METHODISTS OF
NORTH AND SOUTH
MAY UNITE
Wouuds dating from the slav
ery agitation prior to the civil war
were healed at the general confer¬
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, now iu session at Spring
field, Mass., when action was tak¬
en to unite the northern and south
ern branches of the church divid¬
ed ou slavery lines iu the heated
discussion before the war of the
sixties, All efforts to briug the
two branches together had since
proven futile.
The uuiou now to be effected by
the southern conference will give a
combined membership of more
than 7,000,000, the Methodist
Episcopal church having 4,500,000
members and the Methodist Church
South, 2,500,000.
The vote on the merger was 802
for. 13 against. A dramatic scene
followed announcement of the vote
and the conference sang ‘Onward
Christian Soldiers.”
The decision to unite brought to
a close efforts of many years on the
part of leaders of the two great
bodies of Methodism. Four years
ago a joint commission was named
by the two conferences, and a plan
for a merger was reported.
The two branches will be joined
as one, but will be under two juris¬
dictions administered by the respec¬
tive bishops assigned to the two
A name for the joint organiza¬
tion will be chosen at the first con¬
ference of the entire boby of the
church. Colored people of the
South are in churches in the juris
dictiou of the Methodist Episcopal
church, while the white Methodists
of the South are in the Methodist
Church, South. The arrangement
for separate jurisdiction will meet
the problems that are involved, it
is said*
The bishops of the two churches
as at present constituted are to be
bishops of the united church, ac¬
cording to the plan, without fur¬
ther action. Immediately after
the union shall have been con¬
summated they are to organize as
oue body and arrauge for the
superintendence of the work of the
church.
Each of the jurisdictional con¬
ferences provided are to meet
quadrenuially where the general
conference is to assemble and im¬
mediately prior to it.
Southern Church To Act.
Pending the devising of a rneth
od of amending the constitution at
the first general conference, the
present method iu the separate
churches is to be continued.
The college of bishops of the
southern branch of the church will
call a special session of the church
conference to act on the unifica¬
tion of the two churches.
PRESIDENT VETOES
SOLDIER BONUS BILL
President Coolidge vetoed the
soldier bonus bill Thursday in a
message to the house stating that
he continued that the passage of
the bjjl would cause an undue
strain on the Treasury.
He futher stated that he felt
that that America, as a whole did
not want the passage of the bill
and that iu his opinion there was
no justification for it.
