MR. HURST WARNS AGAINST S
LOW GRADE COTTON it
Mr. John T. 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

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

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
farmers who owned trucks sent all
their products to market and received
top prices for them. This glutted the
market and prices dropped. One farmer
in my community with his truck
secured $:i0() more for his crop thun
his neighbor, who hauled with
teams?Cecil R. Speake, in The Progressive

They had a presidential election
he other day in Panama. The two
andidates were Dr. Belisario Parras

elected.
In panama they nominate doctors

A pathetic story comes from New
ork where a woman advertises for
lie her little girl, aged two and one
alf years. The woman claimed that
er health was so poor that she
ould not care for the child and
rices her child at $250.

HE AUTOMOBILE A BLESSING
The farmer, his wife and children
ave been greatly benefitted by the
utomobile. 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

ommon mode of travel.

Report On Visit To the Chesterfield ?
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.
? The Legislature at its recent session
passed a bill permitting the com- J a
' misioner to sell the present alms- r
house property and to buy a more i:

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

MARKET STREET
I ROCKEFELLER'S
GREAT DONATION
It is said that John D. 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."
