DAWSON PARTY SAY HALF NOT

Found Conditions in Mississippi Any

sibIe to Raise Cotton.


thing But Encouraging. Impos-
sible to Raise Cotton.
Messrs. w. J. Mathis, W. A. Nc
Lain, H. A. Petty, r. L. Saville and
E. w. Hollingsworth, who left Daw-
son a week ago to visit the boil wee
vii sections of Mississippi and see for
themselves the conditions where this
pest has been for several years, re-
turned home Sunday, and are any
thing but optimistic as to what will
be the result when the weevils invade
Southwest Georgia.
These gentlemen visited sections
around Meridian, Jackson and Yazoo
City, all prominent cotton centers,
and everywhere were met with the
same story-that cotton cannot be
profitably grown where it has been
attacked by the weevil 1t is true
that some cotton is raised, but it
is almost nothing in comparison to
what was grown before the weevil
came. In some fields, unless a cease
less fight is made from the time the
tiny cotton peeps above the ground,
not a pound is picked.
Field Picked Twenty Times.
The method of fighting the weevil
is the planting of early varieties of
cotton and picking the insects from
it almost innumerable times while it
is growing. One of the gentlemen
who went to Mississippi says he saw
a field which had been picked twenty
times, and the weevils were still
there in great numbers.
In Mississippi no guano is used on
the farms and the farmers can afford
to spend a part of the crop picking
the weevils, but here in Georgia,
where vast quantities of fertilizers
are used, the cotton crop will not
stand the additional expense of that
kind of a warfare to prevent its de-
suction.
The farmers of Mississippi are di-
versifying their crops and have turn
ed their attention to stock-raising
while lumber has become large
and profitable industry. In this way
the effects of the loss of the greater
part of the cotton crop has been over
come.
Kill the BOlls, Too.
The gentlemen VINO have just re-
turned state that contrary to the
general idea prevalent throughout
this section the weevils do not con-
fine their destruction to the squares
but attack and destroy the bolls as
well.
They advise the farmers of South
west Georgia to begin now to pre-
pare for the coming of the weevil by
reducing their cotton acreage and
planting other crops more extensive
ly. They say that no farmer here
will be able under weevil conditions
to cultivate more than six or seven
acres of cotton to the pillow.

II RUFUS was a Roman citizen who

last century B. c. and went into
the patriot business with great success
for a time.
Rome was very shy of patriots during
that period, it being the common prae-
tice for a Roman as soon as he became
great, to grab the country by unseat-
ing the delegates of the opposition with
the aid of a short, sharp sword and to
run it as a vested interest until death
did him part, which it usually did in
a painstaking and extensive fashion.
When Brutus was still a young man,
Caesar came back from Gaul after hav-

a first-class politician. forgave Brutus,
