FARMERS MUST
GUARD AGAINST
Pending DANGER
DEVASTATION OF The FARMS
Is Threatened in Approach
OF WeeVil

Sumter is one of the most pro-
gressive and best titled counties in
Georgia. l have Travelled over a con-
siderable portion of the county recent
ly, and nowhere have | seen SUCH
crops of cotton, better kept farms suca
magnificent roads and, altogether such
evidences of substantial prosperity as
is visible in Sumter county"
Such was the complimentary com
ment yesterday of Mr. E. ]. Willing-
ham, of Macon, who has been spending
several days here. Himself an ex-
tensive and successful planter, Mr..
Willingham is fully capable of judging
conditions as he finds them.
"The farmers" he continued, must
prepare to make the fight of their lives
next year, for by that time the de-
|structive boil weevil will invade Geor-
gia, and this southwestern section will
be the first attacked. Already the
weevil infests several counties in
southern Alabama, and its coming here
cannot be long stayed"
Mr.. Willingham was asked what he
considered the best method by which
to fight the boil weevil.
There is but one successful way that
I know" he replied, "and that is farm
diversification. Our farmers must
prepare to leave off planting large
areas in cotton, and instead must plant
grain crops; corn, oats, peas, velvet
beans and other cereals. The cotton
planted should be of the variety which
natures before the weevil gets busy in
midsummer.
'The coming of the boil weevil is GO
ing to create panic among the farm
ers for a time" said Mr. Willingham.
1T is an entirely new proposition, but
the farmers of Sumter and of other
Georgia counties can combat it all
right upon the lines suggested. In the
end the boil weevil may prove a bless
ing in that it develops Investigation
in farming"
Mr.. Willingham owns many large
firms, peach orchards and pecan
groves in south Georgia and is most
successful planter and horticultural.

upon the lines suggested, and finds d

varied products of farm and orchard

Harmony and Nerve.

But the two prime factors in the
work OF the team, harmony and nerve
got working hand in glove with the
teams natural ability and they start
ed winning.
They won three straight from the
Birmingham Barons. Then they
tackled the Montgomery Billikens, one
of their real stumbling blocks dur
ing the entire season. They took
three out of four from them.
Along came the Memphis team, and
after trying the first battle, they sue
cumbed to the Crackers in four
straight games. The tail-end Pelicans
came next, fighting the locals like a
bunch of wild Indians and forcing us
to win out game afte game in the
final session of play. Five out of six
were COPIED from them.
Battling against such tremendous
odds, the Crackers cut down the lead
of the Mobile Gulls until, at the con-
clusion of the Labor Day games with
the Pels the Gulls had a margin OF
but three games.
No one conceded the Crackers a
chance in the series that was to start
the next day with the Gulls. Hadn'.
the Gulls won the majority of thu
games from the Crackers all season

But every one had again under
estimated the real strength and abill-
ty of Bill Smiths ball club, which, to
use his own words, is the best ball
team ever managed, taking playing
ability nerve, condition and general
behavior into consideration"
The strain that the Crackers We're
put to, the mental realization that
if they dropped one game their pen
.nant chances were gone, must have
been a horrible sensation.
But here the wonderful nerve and
staying qualities of the game team
came to the front again.
With every one expecting them tc
crack, they fought the Gulls to d
standstill. They fought them at every
al gle. They outplayed them in every
department of play, and most of all
They outgamed them.
Three streight games they took from
the Gulls. They tied the fourth and
they tied them for the pennant, after
apparently having no chance in the
world to do so.
One defeat meant the loss of their
pennant chances. They were not de-
Ifeated, and only technicality that
made it necessary for the Mobile
club to catch train for home kept the
Crackers from not only tying the
Culls, but from going one game ahe9

In these games, their opponents

The runding to of the pitching

the best staff in the league.

CRACKERS FIGHT FOR RAG

Atlanta. with Billy Smith at the
helm has won another pennant. The
finish was the closest that has ever
been staged in the Southern league.
When New Orleans trounced Mobile
Sunday, to 2, the Crackers became
tie pennant winners.
Dick Jemison, veteran sport writer
OF the Atlanta Constitution, has the
following to say in Mondays issue OF
that paper:
The game fight made by the Atlanta
club for the Southern league pennant
is without an equal in the annals o.
baseball. Records do not show any
other club ever equaled the wonderful
performance put up by the Crackers.
A month ago they looked like a
fourth place finished, and probably
no better than third, but every one
that figured them as such had figured
without knowing the class of ball
players that went to make up the A.
lanta ball club.
They returned from their list road

upon returning home they dropped
three out of four games and tied one

WORLDS BEST TOBACCO
FIELDS Change HANDS

Vienna, Sept. S.-The fields produce
ing the best Turkish tobacco in the
world, the kind that is sent to Con-
stantinople for the consumption CT
the sultan, and which is sold at the
| highest prices in the American mar
ket, are about to change ownership
For centuries they have belonged to
turkey; today the contest between
Bulgaria and Greece for the possess
sion of the port of Kawalla, in south
ern Manchuria, will decide their fu-
ture owner.
In the rich country behind Kawalla
grows the best tobacco in all the
Turkish empire. The finest quality
comes from the mountain slopes, the
crops raised in the plains being more
remarkable for quantity than quail
ity. The best of all comes from the
left bank of the Karasu river above
Kanthi, and is renowned throughout
the tobacco world under the name o.
Giubek. This is the product that
brings the highest prices, both in Eu-
rope and the United States.
The industry at Kawalla has been
built up by the Turks slowly and care
fully, through many decades. Turks
make the best tobacco growers iii
southeastern Europe, and the CONNER
cial success of whatever power finely
becomes possessed of this rich tobac-
CO dustrict, be it Bulgaria or Greece,
will depend largely on whether or not
the present Turkish cultivators can
be persuaded to stay and labor for
their new masters.
The stores of Turkish tobacco on
hand at the present time are so ex-
tensive, however, that it probably viii
be two or three years before smokers

Attacks WOmen's Dress.
DR.. Piffl, the archbishop of Vienna,
speaking before a large assembly at
Linz recently, vehemently attacked the
present fashions of women's dress. He
said he spoke at the special request of
an exalted parsonage, which was con-
strued to mean that he was voicing the
sentiments of the emperor
Present day fashions are exercising a
most pernicious and ruinous influence
upon the social and financial condi-
tions of many families, he declared. |
He begged his hearers to reject the
prevailing indecent and disgraceful
fashions. which have nothing in com
mon with Christian character and
which strike at the self-respect of |
Christian women and girls like blows
in the face.
DR.. Piffl was only recently raised to J
the archbishopric. He has never been
considered at all sensational, but is
esteemed tolerant man, with keenly
social sympathies.
