SAYS BOLL WEEVIL IS COMING.
Former Dillonite Talks of Boll Weevil
Conditions in Georgia.
Mr. W. B. Smith of Douglas Ga.,
spent a few hours in town Monday
^ on his way back home after visiting
his father, Mr. H. D. Smith, near Lake
^ View. Mr. Smith was accompanied by
Mrs. Smith and the children.
Mr. Smith went t0 Georgia about
six years ago to accept a position as
industrial agent with the Georgit &
Florida railroajd. Since his connec^
tion with the railroad he has spent
J oil r>f his tinu in tha boll
? ?
weevil territory advising with the
farmers and helping them to fight
the weevil. Mr. Smith says the boll
weevil is bound to reach Dillon
county, and he says the farmers who
want to save themselves should not
lose any time preparing for its coming.
"It is the weevil's invariable
rule'", savs Mr. Smith, "ti give one
year's warning. He makes his appearance
in small numbers in widely
scattered areas. This is the first
year's warning. The next year he is
seen in larger numbers and production
is cut down about 5 per cent.
j The next or third year he descends
upon the community like a pestilence
and crops are practically destroyed."
He spoke of number of instances
where farmers planted from 50 to 100
\ acres in cotton and gathered from 5
k to 15 bales. Mr. Smith said intensive
farming helped, but at its best
was not profitable. Many farmers had
gone broke planting five acres to the
plow and working it fast. He said
Dillon farmers should not pin too
much faith to this plan. Georgia farmers
who lost their lands tried the
same plan and failed. The best way
tQ fight or to survive the weevil,, he
said, was to plant other crops. Men
who had abandoned cotton ana lantu
up other crops had weathered the
storm and were getting on their feet
again. Many people seem to think,
continued Mr. Smith, that the weevil
does not stay in a community more
than three or four years. This is a
mistake. This idea got fixed in the
public mind because the farmers began
to turn to other crops at the
end of the three or four period when
they found out they could not beat
the weevil. They began to get 011
their feet again and the impression
got abroad that the weevil had gone.
When the weevil comes, said Mr.
Smith,, he strikes camp and stays.
Mr. Smith said there would be reports
that the weevil was in many
sections long before he spread over
Dillon county. Every time a farmer
finds a strange looking insect in his
field he calls it a boll weevil. The
boll weevil resembles the old time
*' * 1 A ^ U/vloe
doodle that you risnea out ui huics
with straws when you were a boy.
Take a doodle and give him legs and
a bill a quarter of an inch long and
you have the boll weevil.
Mr. Smith says when the boll weevil
reaches Dillon county there will
come with it a swarm of agents selling
all kinds of devices for its ex#
termination. Do not buy these devices,
says Mr. Smith. They are worthless.
The government investigates every
device and every remedy suggested
for the extermination of the weevil,
but it has not found one that it could
recommend to the farmers. If the
government finds a remedy or a device
that will exterminate or even
check the progress of the boll weevil,
says Mr. Smith, it will let the farmers
know it. Do not buy anything, regardless
of the price at which it is offer
ed, unless it nas tne goverumem o endorsement.
Mr. Smith's advice to h is home
folks is to begin now to prepare for
the planting of peanuts, velvet beans,
sweet potatoes and other crops besides
cotton. He says the history- of
the weevil from the time it made its
appearance in this country up to the
present time shows that diversification
is the only way to fight it. He
urges his friends here at home to
begin now.
o
A Col lection.
The Herald did the Peoples Bank
an injustice last week, but not intentionally,
of course. In the article
calling attention t0 the flourishing
condition of the Dillon county banks
it stated that the Peoples Bank had
deposits amounting to $215,000.On,
whereas it should have said the Peoples
Bank had deposits of $215,000.00
In excess of its deposits at the
same neriod last year.

"WOULD PAY 100 DOLLARS
FOR IT" SAYS BAILEY".
i j
Atltnta .Man Says That he Feels Like
a New Mqn Since Taking
Ferrolav.
j "I wouldn't take a hundred dollars
ifor this bottle of Ferrolax if I knew ;
I that I would not be able to buy more J
of it" said Mr. J. H. Bailey, who lives
at 328 Nest Peachtree St., Atlanta, (
Ga., the other day.
"I honestly believe that Ferrolax is J
the best medicine 011 earth", contin- '
uer Mr. Bailey, "and it would do my
heart good to meet face to face with 1
everybody who suffers as I did and !
:tell them what a blessing this wonder- ]
ful medicine has been to me. I was s
so run down and had such poor blood 1
I that I could hardly get about. Then ]
too, I have been bothered with stom- .
ach trouble, and would have severe .
pains in the small of my back right
over my kidneys. When I stooped over
I could hardly straighten up again. 1
No medicine or treatment seemed toj
give me any relief at all ad I was
'gradually getting weaker all the
j time.
"When I heard about Ferrolax
and the good it was doing so many
other people and decided t0 give it a
trial. Before I had finished my first
bottle I began to pick up right along
and now siyce taking about three
bottles of this medicine I am as well
'and strong as I ever was in my life.
II don't kno wwhat it is to suffer I
* "* - J -V. AmmUA I
|with inaigesiion anu siumavu u^uir,
and I am never bothered with that
pain in my back. I'll tell the world
that Ferrolax is a great medicine,
and will do all that is claimed for it.
Ferrolax is sold by Evans Pharmacy,
Dillon and Smith's Drug Co., at
Lake View. Get a bottle at these
[stores today. Take it according to directions
end if it does not do you the
good you want done come in and
'get your money back. Your bare word
is good enough for us. Watch for the
next issue of this paper and see what
Ferrolax is doing for others.?adv.lt.

BUY YOLK OWN FREIGHT TRAIN.
Railroad and express rates have increased
to such an extent that farmers
are being forced to own their 0W11
transportation system.
With a dependable Indiana Farm
Truck you can increase the value of
your farm and open ready markets
!for all your products.
It w ill make you the' traffic manager
of your transportation, which
'will be cheaper in rates and quicker
jin deliveries than a freight train.
I Just as the freight train has made
[dim memories of the stage coach, the
prairies schooner and the primitive
ox cart, s0 surely is the Indiana Farm
Truck replacing the wasteful team.
This truck is securing State wide
recognition by its performance under
any and all road condition. ' Every
Indiana Farm Truck is given a heartbreaking
test before it ever leaves
the factory.
For farm hauling, and a great num
i ber of other farm uses, it is in a class
by itself. j
Think of the time and the money I
I you can save when you can pump wa I
tor, grind grain, light your house and |
barn, saw wood, milk your cows, by
using the motor of the truck and the
portable power units which go with
I it. These are big economy features
of the Indiana Farm Truck.
Full particulars regarding these
special features and the time payment
plan, can be obtained from the
.State Distributors, the Carolina Moj
tor Company, at Statesville, N. C.
