Hurst, the largest cot- {' ton-buyer in Chesterfield, wishes to '' impress upon the cotton growers of a the county the unwisdom of pioduc- * ' ing low tirade lint. u Mr. Hurst has on his hands much cotton that he bought last fall as y low as 15 cents that ho is unable to v dispose of at any price. This con- ^ <1 it ion prevails throughout the cotton ' belt and as a natural result low P grade cotton will he left on the farm- s' urv' ii,;.. r .ii s Nearly all of the objectionable oracles of cotton was of pood prade o when prown and which became low r prade throuph neplect to pick at the n proper time or throuph weather dam- it ape after pickinp. p To make the most of the cotton n crop it will he ahoslutely necessary y for the farmer to pive more attention to pickinp and carinp for his product. All cotton should be picked as soon as it opens and should he kept clean, j. The more rapidly it is picked the loss ^ liable it. is to damape by rain. After bcinp pinned it should be r stored in a warehouse, if one is available. If a warehouse is out of the question a pood shelter must be provided and skids must be laid to keep ' the cotton off the pround. From time ^ to time the bales must be turned so that all sides will be sufficiently ex- ^ posed to the air. AFTER THE BOLL WEEVIL U In the Georgia Legislature a bill 1 has been introduced to provide for the free distribution of calcium ar- c senate to combat the boll weevil. When the law makers get after ^ the boll weevil he had better skeedaddle. But this is not the limit of Georgia's efforts to eradicate and exterminate the boll weevil. Some of the counties are taking the matter in 1 hand. L C -mmittees were appointed in each district who stand pledged to engage the attention of all their farmers, white and colored, to secure ^ their co-operation; to equip them with informati m; to interest them in h constant meetings; and to encourage them to weekly, daily, hourly effort f to the end that the weevil shall be v bitterly and relentlessly fought. These f gatherings are to be held at the ? church, school houses and at the v homes of the committeemen. t In Monroe county it may be noted n that the districts of Vinegar Hill and " Hearn's Store have appointed com- y mittees to make war on Mr. Weevil, c If that combination don'' squelch t them the case may be considered hopelesss. fi ii DON'T CULTIVATE <| COTTON TOO DEEP s A few days ago I was in a field of u cotton the owner of which was culti- a vil irur i?i i \tru\* in mir nmninn tliot was doing more harm than good. He t was using a rather large and long t solid sweep, getting close up to the | cotton, and every time he came to t the end of the row he had to stop to (1 take the cotton roots off the plow. j| 1 think it is highy important to c keep a dust blanket in the cotton field p at tin- season of the year, hut if the fj cotton roots have to be badly broken v up to get this dust mulch, then I'd p prefer to go without it. As a matter , of fact, the dust. mulch can he maintained and grass and Weeds kept down without greatly disturbing the feed roots of the growing crop, p Where heel sweeps ar userl, and on sandy loam land these are excellent h for cultivating cotton, the scooter or r shovel plow ahead of the heel sweep It should lie short and blunt, and the heel sweep houl I skim along just under the surface. The manner in which late cultivation of cotton is done is of great im- s portance, and every farmer should give it much thought. If cotton is to v v.,. i,??.i ;u s ?/?- yiysvii aiiu ctiiu to continue to put on fruit and hold it, late cultivation must not he too -Ho.iJfoj,! nqj, "i H;>KOJ/\T q {j?-donp sive Farmer. ??????? i GETTING TO MARKET BEFORE PRICES DROP BY MEANS Of A TRUCK Many farmers have missed high < prices |>y hauling products with j teams They were beaten to market 1 by those who owned trucks.

The car has made the arm home more of a home to the /ife and children. The farmer who ormally did the going to town alone iow takes his wife and children. The irife who in some cases did not go o town more than once in a year, ow goes to town, gets to see some f the world beyond her own door ard, goes to the movies and to hurch because there is an easy way o go. It is said that several years ago fty per cent, of the inmates of the nsane asylum were farmers wives? aily toil and drudgery causing that ad result. Since the almost general ise of the motor car this unfortunte condition is not in evidence. The farm is made more attractive o the young people with the opporunity of quick transit. It is not onV the rich who can eniov ho pleasure afforded by the notor cars but they are coming nto such general use that all lasses of people in the country are ;etting in one way or another the lenefit and blessings of the carriage without horses, that mother Shipton rophesied years ago would be the ommon mode of travel.

Si County Almshouse Made June ^ in ia?n Rw Aniit - retary Brearly C n The score of the Chesterfield c n County almshouse is over a hundred points lower than it was last year. ? This is due partly to the lack of proper administration and to the disor- ^ Ionization caused by the recent illness and death of Superintendent Thompson. Mrs. Thompson who has succeeded her husband has not yet been able to pot things in proper shape. The system of administration at fi this almshouse is fundamentally wrong. The superintendent is given a certain sum of money to feed and clothe each inmate. His salary consists of what he can save from this n amount. Under this system the only b protection the inmates have is the tl honesty and kind heartedness of the ^ man in charge. The fee system should ^ be abolishd and the superintendent paid an adequate salary and allowed to draw on the county commissioners ti for the necessry food and clothing r for the inmates, just as the foreman 0 of the chain gang now does. b An immediate effort to improve t! the sanitation of this institution is tl also necessary. Each inmate should 0 he given a bath and a supply of j clean clothes when he is admitted and a should be required to bathe and t. change his linen at least once a week j thereafter. The bedding should be i thoroughly renovated as soon as pos sible. b The house occupied by negro men t is probably the most miserable of any a in the dozen county almshouses visit- f od this year. The building is falling f to pieces and affords litle more than j a rude shelter. The two rooms are c. filled with trash of various kinds, and p the beds are practically a pile of rags heaped upon the bed slats That the county commissioners are making some effort to improve the sanitation is evdenced by their ordering screens for the building occupi ( ed by the white inmates and the Su-1 , perintendent's family. It is hopd that I these will soon be installed to afford d protection against flies and mosqui- e toes. ?

HE INTERESTS OF TOWN AND COUNTRY ARE MERGED The resources of the country have built up the trade of the town and he public improvements resulting orm this wealth have largely been pplied to the betterment of the town self. This being true, many farmrs have come to feel that the townsman is selffish, that he seeks major enefit from a transaction by fixing he price both on what the farmer as to sell and on what he has to uy. It hus been well said that the soluion is to make the country town a eal part of country life and develop ne program for the upbuilding of oth town and country. The life of he town cannot be separated from he life of the country. The interests f town and country merge and cross, f the farmers are thrifty, the towns re thrifty. If the farmers are unhrifty, the towns are likely to be ead. The prosperity of the farms is he soul of the business life of the own. The business interests, the anker, the merchant, the manufacurer, and all the rest must become lert to the necessity for creating air and adequate relations with the armers in their own trade territoriy, in the interests of their own greatst ultimate gain.?The Progressive 'armor.

Rockefeller has knocked London silly. He discovered that the London hospitals were cramped for funds, owing to the fact that England is staggering under a heavy war debt. What did our John D. do but donate $6,025,000 to the hospitals and medical colleges of the great English metropolis! An English paper, referring to the wonderful donation says: "Here where British enterprises are fearing daily the imposition of a capital levy, where the British workmen are finding it impossible to live on their wages?here, where every j penny must be counted, and where I every charity is crying for funds, six-million dollar plums do not fall out of golden trees" John D. Rockefeller, now that he is approaching the close of a long life, does not want it said of him as was said a few years ago of another millionaire, New Yorker, "He stands today at the gate of Heaven a beggar."
