full of refuse tobacco boiled in gal

Carbolic soap dissolved and so d.

fective remedy.
Preventive measures may be fol-
lowed by thoroughly washing in
strong soapsuds the roots of young
trees on transportation in case the
presence of the aphids is suspected.
Oftentimes it may prove best to de-
stroy a badly infected tree, and re-
placed if at all. by some tree other

COTTON EXCHANGE REOPENING

New York Journal of Commerce.
AS regards the new project to fl
nance probably 100000 or $780,
600 bales of the new crop by emer-
gency currency to approximately the
amount of 5000, 100000 based on
warehouse receipts it is believed to
be an admirable thing which will go
far to restore the equilibrium in the
cotton business and prevent the mar
keting of large quantities of cotton
at unprofitably low prices. 1t will
very probably lessen the pressure of
hedges on the market. 1t will be
conducive to the farmer holding his
cotton until he can sell it or most of
it to advantage. OF course there is
bound to be some selling at once in
order to pay debts, but probably
there will be a spirit of accOmmoda-
ton at the South to meet the extra
ordinary demand for the time and
this will go a long way toward easing
any natural pressure that might 9TH
erWiSe exist.
The next big question is that of
the Liverpool straddIes. The Liver
pool committee is expected here by
Saturday and the matter viii be TAX
en- up at once. 1t seems a fOregOne
conclusion to many, however, that
the Srraddles VIII have to be settled
on the basis of the closing price here
on July 81.
That would mean on the basis of
1910 cents for Dece1u Der here and
6.12 ed for JanUary-February in
Liverpool. AS a rule New York peO-
pie have refused to margin down to
the. quotation geGenrfY made by the
Liverpool Exchange-that is since
the closing thereof $500 for Janu
ary-FebTUary. On this basis the diff
ference between the two markets is
practically T50 points, which will al
low Zig profit to- the Liverpool
straddlers5 auG something which in
the estimation of very many here
they ought to be satisfied with. The
straddles, it Is supposed, amOUnt TO
500, goo bales, so that large SUMS are
at stake? II the straddIe question
can be SettleF promptly there would
seem no reason why the exchange
should not be reOpened In the near

The DAYS For Big Men.

None of us can afford to make a
bad matter worse" says the Augusta
Chronicle. These are days when
men are men. Now is the time to
fly your flag of advertising. When
the advertising flag disappears he
who hauls it down admits that he
was a merchant yesterday. Yes
terday is history. This is the time
for Commercial Courage-not Com
mercial Cowardice.
At the meeting of the Commercial
Secretaries in Columbus a few days
ago a publisher urged the secretaries
to go home and tell the members of
their chambers of commerce to in
crease their advertising with their
newspapers rather than decrease.
Your small town editors" said
this gentlman, do more for you in
a crisis like this than any other in
fuence. Yet upon the first sign of
trouble you begin to cut off your ad-
vertising, make unreasonable de-
mands upon him and he always suf-
fers more and quicker than any other
business man in town. Go back and
tell your people to stick to the pub

A Good School.

The current issue of the PER-!
Home Journal makes the following
comment, which is heartily endorsed
by The News:
The Third district agricultural
school at Americas opened the
1914 fall term Tuesday, August
18th. This school is doubtless the
most successful Of the eleven dis
trict schools in Georgia, and good
management is the cause. The
principal, Prof. J. NJ. Collum, is
a thoroughly competent man, and
his heart is in his work. 1t has
not been his purpose to teach text
book theory, but to apply proven
theories to productive practice. The
school is worthy Of the patronage
of all who desire their sons and
daughters to learn the theory and
practice of agricultural and domes-
tic science.
Two years ago The News said that
the Third district school, under the
direction of Professor Collum, was
the most successful of any of the
agricultural schools in the state, and
it is gratifying to know that it has
lost none of its prestige. The school
is doing a splendid work that will be
Of great benefit to Georgia, especial
y this section, in years to come.

Can See The Mistake Now.

The folly of the shipment of thous-
ands of head of cattle from South
Georgia to the West last spring is
emphasized by the Lyons Progress,
which calls the attention of our peO-
ple to the fact that the Western
ranchmen who bought these beeves
are now getting ready to realize on
their investment. While the war
goes on and cotton goes down meats
of all kinds continue to climb in
price. Cattle they bought in South
Georgia last spring for ten and fiji
teen dollars per head are now fat
and ready for market, and will sell
for forty and fifty dollars in car lots
at the packing houses. 1--WE fell
lows" says the Progress, will proba-
bly, eat steak from these same cows
when we go to Savannah, Macon, Au-
gusta or Atlanta this fall. Our peo-
pie who so fooIishly bartered away
these cattle for a pittance last spring
will probably buy shoes from their
hides this winter

The Fall Garden,

Get ready to plant the fall garden
now. There is nothing that contrib
utes as much to the family comfort
and enjoyment, or reduces the cost
of living to a greater extent, that Is
as much neglected at this season OF
the year. Practically every family
has an early garden. but from now
on. in the majority of cases, the gar
den is neglected. Fresh vegetables
can be had just as easily in the fall
season as at any other time, provided
a little more attention is given to
the garden.
Prepare the soil and plant any of
the common vegetables, such as peas
beans. beets, mustard, turnips, Gu
cumbers, etc. Good tomatoes can be
produced this fall by sowing seed
now and pushing the plants along.
Start the fall garden now.

A HOG-RAISING COUNTY.

From the Grady County Progress.
Grady county perhaps this year
will lead the state in the production
of hogs. Close on to one hundred
thousand dollars worth were raised
in the county this year according to
a report just given out.
One plantation, the Minnesota Co.
operative Plantation Company, has
raised, two miles east of Cairo, this
year and will kill this winter $4,000
worth of hogs. This is only one of
the large stock raising farms in Ora
.dy county, there being several other
farmers in the county who have rails
ed this year from $1,000 to $4,000
worth of meat.
The farmers of this section of
South Georgia believe there is more
money in raising hogs and cows than
there is in raising cotton. There is
very little cholera scattered through
out the county, as most everyone who
has gone into the stock business has
inoculated the cattle, which has help
ed to prevent this dreaded disease
among the hogs.

Too Many Immigrants,

The highest record for immigra-
ton into the United States, which
was made in 1907, has been broken
by the fiscal year of 1914.
Up to June LIST last 1,254,458 for
eigners had entered during the elev-
en- months of the fiscal year to take
up their residence here. This is close
to the highest previous record, which
was 1,285,34 in the year ended June
Both, 1907. Reports received by
Commissioner Caminetti since July
list show that the total for the year
apprOximates 1856, 700.
Commissioner Caminetti finds that
there has been marked increase in
the number of persons, principally
men, coming in from every country
taking part in the Balkan war-TUr-
key, Greece, Bulgaria, SerVia and
Montenegro. However, there were a
greater number of Italians than of
any other nationality, many soldiers
in the war against Turkey having re-
turned to their homes at the close of
the conflict to find they were without
occupations and that conditions were
generally impoverished.
The News is of the opinion that too
many immigrants are admitted into
this country Tho In discriminate aR-
mission to the United States of the
scum of Europe should be checked
Of course many desirable Immigrants

4 GEORGIA POET HAS 4 WORD

From the Savannah News.
A Georgia poet calls on the Cow
ard nations ''-these that are sitting
tight while so many others are at
war-to go, Did the carnage cease;
drag Emperor and Tsar before your
mighty bar" etc. The poet knows,
of course, thas his strong exhortation
will not be needed. Getting Emperor
William and Gar Nicholas by the ear
and making them be good would be
a very dangerous job for the peace
full part of the world. The innocent
bystander nations are already catch
ing a few blows and if they attempt
ed to act as peacemaker in a forcible
way they would very likely be igno-
miniously smashed by both fighters
II is not cowardice but common sense
| that prevents the poets order from
lbeing obeyed.

English buyers take VIII leave that

crease their output to- probSbly fifty
pes cent of the entire crop
AT any rate. there ought not to
be- more than forty per cent of the
crop carried over. Cotton is not a
perishable crop and does not have to
BE. sold in a hurry 1t will be as
good twenty years hence as it is to-
day il properly stored and cared for.
When the war ends there will be an
increased demand for il. War con-
sumes cotton goods. as well as other
things. 1t creates a vacuum which

restored.
Therefore. it would be the part of
wisdom for the farmers TO hold hack
their cotton. The banks and mer-
chants should see to it that no cation
grower is forced to sell his cotton at
depressed prices. The merchants and
bankers should help the farmers keep
! down their cotton acreage next year.
One way to do it is to cali those
/ farmers who undertake to exceed the
/ limit. That would be better than a
cotton tax-Which politicians are
hardly going TO pass.
In. place OF cotton plant grain
peas and hay. Let the land rest
Build up the land by giving it {
change OF diet and rest cure
Then when peace is restored a gold
en- stream will flow this way for GU
carried-over surplus. The farmer

The Telegraph has given the opin-

for the farmers to- do is to- hold bacS
their cotton aad not dump it on the
market, at depressedi prices. The coz
ton spinners are mot Interested in
high price COTTON except that they do
not want it.. They want Oh cap cot
ton. The spectators want To buy it
chanp and sell il at advanced prices.
Both spinnars amf speculatOTS would
Iise to. hammer down the price as
much as possible.
But there is no reason why they
should lse allowed 30 do so. The
bankers and business meg are going
to stand by she farmers and help
them out. It is misrepresentation To
do so. The merchants and bankers
are dependent upon the cotton grow
ers. 1t is impossible for the mer-
chant or the banker to prosper when
/ the farmers do not.
And as pointed out by Editor Ed
mOnds, of the Manufacturers Rec
ord. the problem is not local prob

interested in it. The cotton crOI
amounts TO forty per cent of all oul
