Pelham Journal VOL. 22 NO. 5 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.
