Raising Cotton Under
g Weevil Conditions
Warrenton, Ga., Sept. 8.?Farmers
from approximately fifty different
counties o'i Georgia today made a pilgrimage
to the farm of C. R. Fitzpatrick,
prominent Warren county
planted and business man, to see^ith
their own eyes King Cotton success,
fully produced under boll weevil conditions.
The Fitzpatrick plantation,
which comprises around a thousand
acres of gravel sandyloam soil, is
hardly more than a mile from this
town. Just now in the neighborhood
< of seven hundred acres of this land is
ripe with a mantle of white that reminds
one of the real cotton produc
ins days before the advent of the
dread boll weevil in this section of
the state.
From far and near, even from the
Savannah near the coast to the foothills
of the Blue Ridge, farmers came
to witness this complete victory over
their arch enemy whose devastations
has taken a sickening toll during the
past few years. They saw probably
more than they expected and every
man of them left yesterday afternoon
for his home fully convinced that the
boll weevil can be out-done and that
Georgia can, by application of the
' .proper methods of warfare,' return
to a successful and profitable production
of its staple crop.
Early in ;the day automobiles began
arriving here, some parties coming
from such a distance that the
trip could not be made in one day.
There were farmers present from
Canton, located in the extreme north
eastern part of the state, and there
were farmers from Valdosta and
Cordele in the extreme southern
part. There was no definite way to
determine the number of counties
represented, but it was easy to see
that had drawn farm
found of the form stage. Aauit
"weevils were present, too, because
one was, found #on the coat of a member
cf the party, but the weevil had
been whipped and the piles of cotton
/ in *he fields already picked and the
canopy of it on the stalks was even
greater proof that he had been out
s' ripped in a desperate fight to the
finish.
V i,:ht the Weevil.
?'r. Fitspotrick says that any farmer
an acx.vi tplish what he has in
growing cotton if he will only fight
the weevil. He attributes his success
tc that racA .entirely, saying that he
started a>er the weevils early, kept
it op coii-"'-'ently according to the instructions
,'urnished by the state
* board of entomology and did not give
up until ihe crop .was completely
made. iTe used calcium arsenate
dusting wrh it by means of a power
duster. The cost of the poison, including
the machinery he said, would
amount to 5100 per plow or $5,000
Uftv lrm-s whieh he rinerated.
He i." disappointed that he is not
going to make a greater yield this
yea** & ><: hdames it on the fact that
he did vet ne enough fertilizer. He
says that he used from 500 to 600
pounds per acre when he should have
used ?Crt. ;ie plans to use 900
pounds per acre next year and expects
to a bale of cotton to the
acr>>. Mr. T^tzpatrick mixes his owe
fertilizer. The normal yield on hit
plantation Wore the weevil cam*
was f om i.O ! 0 to 1,200 bales of cotton
ho Wei, c nd he expects to react
llic ill LCI tot tuuv ?
ers from such distances that Georgia
ctftton growers are becoming welded
\ together into a solid front against
the most aggressive pest that has
ever beset the great money crop of
the southland. ,
Insj>ection Begins.
At 12 o'clock the long line of au'
\ tomobiles, headed by a machine that
^ \ carried Mr. Fitzpatrick and members
of the state board of entymology,
left Warrenton for the Fitzpatrick
cotton plantation. After five minutes'
ride the first stop was made at
one of the broad fields of cotton that
has attracted the attention of the entire
state. Negroes were at work in
the field which was literally white.
The weed wTas between knee and
& '
waist-high. There was a prolific secw
-ond crop of m-atured bolls, extra large
and well developed, apparently hardy
enough to withstand even the cunning
bill of a boll weevil. Men experienced
in growing cotton for many years
agreed that the total yield in this
.
field would be one thousand pounds
or more orseed cotton per acre. This
t
field lay alongside the Macon highway.
The party then continued into
^he very heart of the plantation and
found the crop to be almost as good
in most instances. It was plain t?hat
there were no prize patches and that
the .yield was practically uniform.
One stalk taken from the interior of
the farm had 54 bolls on it, 21 open
and 3 unopen. The boll, as a general
rule, was full and the fiber of a good
length. There were few scrub bolls,
either opened or unopened.
There was every indication that
the boll weevil had been present. The
top crop had suffered considerably
from his ravages and grubs could be
SMYRNA SCENE OF DESTRUCTION
vSurpasses Anything of Like Nature
in Modern History.
Smyrna, Sept. 17.?Smyrna, which
the Turks have called the eye of
Asia, is a vast sepulchre of ashes.
Only the shattered walls of 25,000
homes and the charred bodies of
countless victims remain to tell the
story of death and destruction unexampled
in modern history. The
ruins are still smouldering like a
volcano which has spent its fury.
No efforts has been made by the |
Turks to remove the dead and dying.
The streets are full of the bodies or
those who sought to escape, for the
most part women and children.
Every building in the Armenian
quarter has been burned with the
dead lying about. The bay, which!
covers an area of fifty acres, still
carries on its surface the poor remnants
of those who were massacred
or sought 'to escape the ruthlessness
of the fire. One water front holds
thousands of survivors who 'fear
death at the hands of the soldiers;
there are no boatsHo take them off.
One ship captain declined to take
any of the wretched sufferers, but in
contrast to his indifference Capt.
Walters, of the American steamer
Winona, rescued 1,800 and took them
to Piraeus. American sailors of the
destroyer Linchfield snatched 450
orphaned boys and carried them safely
to Constantinople. The Jack Tars
sleep on the iron decks or under the
air tubes while the yohngsters 00
cupied their "bunks. In all the acts
of gallantry by the Americans at
Smyrna there was none more inspiring
than this.
While the orphans were being loaded
on the little boat.H. C. Jacquith,

that production again despite the
weevil. He makes about four applications
of the calcium arsenate at
intervals of three to four days and
carries out this process three or four
times during the critical stage of the
development of the plant. He is a
great believer in picking up dead
squares and destroying them. That
means everything, as he expressed it
to a group of farmers yesterday.
"When you destroy a form you destroy
millions of potential weevils,
for there is no limit to the number
of weevils that an adult will ultimately
produce," he says. His theory
about whipping the weevil is to fight,
get mad and fight harder, fight so
hard that the laborers get mad, too,
i and fight.- "Everybody must fight
to whip the boll weevil," he conclud1

guards, giving them cigarettes
and talking to them in their native
tongue. These guards are under
strict orders not to permit the escape
of any of the Greek or Armenian
refugees, and on several accasions
have shot to death fugitives endeavoring
to reach outlying vessels
by swimming. N
Out of 300,000 Christians crowding
the city prior to the descent of the
Turks, only 60,000 have been evacuated.
The Kemalist officials have informed
the American relief workers
that the return of the Christians to
the interior meant certain death.
The director of the Armenian orphanage
established by the American
committee for relief in the Near
East, came to death by drowning in
the presence of Mr. Jacquith, who is
a director of that organization.
WOMEN BEATEN, -REPORT.
Told to Leave Town?Man and Oar
Missing. 9
Asheville, N. C., Sept. 16.?A group
of masked men intercepted an automobile
in which a Mr. and Mrs.
I
Webb, of Greensboro, N. C., were
riding near Taylorsvilte, N. C.,
Thursday night, and the woman taken
from the car, blindfolded, gagged
and threatened with her life, according
to meager reports received
here tonight.
Mr. Webb and the car are reported
as still missing with the officers of
Alexander and Iredell counties !in
search for Mr. Webb and the machine
in order to gain more details.
The woman, told to leave on the first
train, or her life would be forfeited,
according to the reports of the affair,
left on a southbound train.
Efforts thus far to obtain any clue
as to the identity of the masked men
have been futile.
UNDERWOOD GETS LIFE.
Convicted of Killing Oscar Mitchell,
Ball Player.
Greenwood, Sept. 17.?After deliberating
sixteen and one-half hours,
the jurors in the case of R. Clayton
Underwood and Barry B. Hughes,
charged with the murder of Oscar
Mitchell, Greenwood baseball player,
reported to Judge H. F. Rice this
morning at 10 o'clock that they had
agreed on a verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree with recommendation
to mercy in the case of
Underwood but they could not agree
on Hughes.
Judge Rice then ordered a mistrial
in Huges's case. In imposing
the life sentence carried by the verdict,
Judge Rice pronounced a warning
against the influence of liquor.
Underwood received the . sentence
without a tremor but his wife, who
had shown no emotion throughout
the trial, burst into tears.
Cover Crops During the Winter.
The exfent to which forage crops
and pasture supply feed for hogs^will
determine the amount of profit made
in the hog business. Since there are
no permanent pastures that supply
feed for the winter and spring, we
must turn to forage crops for this
part of the year.. September is the
month for planting all crops for winter
forage, and immediate attention
should be given to this work. Rye,
oats, vetch and rape are the best crops
for winter pasture that we have in
this section. -Rye is preferred to
oats as it gives a greater growth during
the winter months. A good mixture
of these three, rye, vetch and
rape can be made as follows: rye, 4
pecks; vetch, 1 peck, and 8 pounds
of rape. Rye will grow on almost
any kind of soil and so will vetch
when properly inoculated but rape
requires a very rich and well prepared
seed bed. Best results are obtained
when this mixture is seeded
between Sept. 15 and October 15,
although earlier and later plantings
often prove satisfactory.
A good soil building programme
calls for cover crops during the winter
months and by using the above
mentioned crops not only are building
our land but we are feeding our
hogs economically and filling in a
much needed ration that our brood
sows must have to bring large litters
of pigs. Cover crops are a means
whereby we can hold fertilizer in the
soil and prevent leaching, also add
I nitrne-fm in the case with vetch. An
^CP"
acre of vetch that produces a ton of
hay will add nitrogen to the soil
equivalent to 460 pounds of nitrate
of soda.?John D. Brandon, County
Agent.
Greenville Man Drowned.
Greenville, S. C.f September 15.?
Robert McCarson, 21 of Brandon Mill
village, was drowned in the Saluda
river about 100 feet above the power
dam Wednesday'afternoon. McCarson
in company with a companion,
Albert Davis, 15 years old, were out
to spend a day in the woods. McCarson
decided he would go in swimming,
but the younger boy decided
he would stay on the bank. After being
in the water for a short time,
he got back out on the bank and
engaged in a playful struggle with
the younger boy, finally picking him
up, clothes and all, and throwing
him into the water, according to the
lad's statement. When the youngster
fell into the water, it was soon
evident to McCarson that the boy
was a very poor swimmer and seeing
his pal's danger, McCarson immediately
leaped in to his rescue. He
reached the lad but just as he was
about to take hold of him, McCarson
canaH with oramps. The young
?ao .. _
er boy then endeavored to save his
comrade's life but was obliged in
order to save his own life to break
from the hold of the older man,
who had by this time apparently lost
his reason. Young Davis reached the
shore safely and at once gave the
alarm, but efforts to resuscitate the
drowned man were unsuccessful.

Why suffer from a bad back, from

Mrs. SaUie Moody, 31 Main St,

get any relief. Specks floated before
