pICf MADE STRONG PLEA FOR BIRDS

two or three years the pest will put
in its appearance, and If the farmers
and people wake up to the fact that
protection of the sixty varieties of
birds which eat the weevil will great
ly lessen their loss, the south and
Georgia can be saved much.
1t is to impress this fact upon the
people that the government has sent
Mr. Rice into this section. His
known fame as scientist and his
specializing on birds caused him to
be chosen as the man for this work
His talk was so we'll received that
he has been invited back here to talk
at some time in the near future and
the Chamber of Commerce is arrang-
ing to have him speak here at night
so that the women, as we'll as the
men of the city and country may
hae a chance to hear him.

MORE FELONY CONVICTS
THREE THOUSAND OF THIS
CLASS IN GEORGIA.
A Large Decrease i'm MisdemeanOrS
the Past Year Shown BY Prison
Commissioners Report.


Georgia has 3,072 felony convicts
on the state roads and on the state
farm in Milledgeville, an increase of
IT'S over 1918, which increased 1873
over the year previous. Georgia s
felony convict population is growing,
therefore, at the rate of about IT'S
per annum.
OF this total $50 are white males,
an increase of 20 over last year.
There are five white females, no in
crease over last year. Three are in
for life for murder, Mrs. Noble of
Twiggs county, Mrs. Bennett of For
syth, and Mrs. Hawkins of Hall.
A tremendous decrease in the num-
Der OF misdemeanor convicts is noted.
Last year there were 3,242 of this
class, this year there are only $500,
a drop of nearly $50.
The annual report of the prison
commission will show the general
health of convicts to be good and that
conditions are satisfactory. 1t is
proposed to include data as to roads
in the various counties if the forma-
ton can be secured.

WINNING BALL
DEFEAT PLAINS ON LATTER'S
DIAMOND BY SCORE OF 8 TO s.
South Georgia Amateurs, Are i'm
Dawson For. Three Games.

MOntezuma, SO.Called Champions of
South Georgia Amateurs, Are i'm
Dawson For Three Games.
The first of the two game series
between Plains and Dawson was
played yesterday afternoon in Plains.
The battery for Plains was Ross and
O'Keefe, while Waller did the hurl-
ing and Monahan the catching for
Dawson. The Dawson lineup was
altered a little, as Hale was sent to
short, while Tebeaut and Baldwin
were shifted to second base and right
field, respectively.
Dawson got away in the initial in
ming. After two were out Cooke flied
to deep center, who dropped the ball,
then Barnard, Hale and Tebeaut each
singled and Cooke, Barnard and Hale
scored, Tebeaut advancing to third
base. Baldwin retired the side with
three good intentions.
Neither side could score until the
third, when walk, couple of hits,
an error, and two very rare decis-
ions by his Jumps" netted the home
team the three runs, tying the score.
But revenge was sweet to the Daw-
son boys, for in their half of the
fourth, two doubles, two singles and
two stolen bases brought in three
more runs.
Here Mr.. Ross retired in favor Of
Carpentar, "would-be" user of the
slippery elm,'' who Jared no better,
for the Dawson boys picked five clean
safeties from his delivery during the
remainder of the game and scored
one run in the seventh and ninth in
nings.
In the ninth the star of the Plains
team, Pat Jones" O'Keele, led off
with his third hit out of four times
to the plate, a double, and later
scored on single by Bramier, after
Jennings had gone out, pitcher to
first; then the afternoon perform
ance was ended in Tebeauts unas-
sisted double play of Morans hot
liner.
Crouch, Barnard, Hale and Waller
featured at the bat, while the entire
Dawson team fielded we'll. The box
score follows:

Montezuma Here For Three Games.
Have you seen how that Dawson
team is playing ball, Dawson 10, Ed
ison 3-just a regular track meet.
Then look how they did Plains. That
is some team Manager Crouch has
assembled. Montezuma is touted as
having the best club in South Georgia
but we don't believe it. They haven't
played Dawson yet. We have the
strongest pitching staff on any am
ateur club in the state, Slappey, Do
zier and Waller. Well it looks like
a series won for Dawson.
Slappey will open with Montezu-
ma this afternoon and Some Old"
Monahan will do the receiving. Do
zier will work tomorrow and prob
ably Waller on Thursday.
These are really the championship
games. Montezuma claims to be the
champs of South Georgia, but we are
from Missouri.

COMMENT SCIENTIST FROM
.SuINGTON DELIVERED AN
ADDRESS IN DAWSON.
BIRDS DESTROY BOIL WFEvIL

o,,er Said They Are One of the
Net Valuable Agencies in Com
..,n0 Conditions Caused by the
Invasion of the Pest.
1on,es Henry Rice, Jr., of the
,,,;ted States bureau of Biological
-rov connected with the Smithso-
..n institution at Washington, and
18th the British museum in London,
seIiyered a lecture at the court house
nowson Saturday morning on the
ra,ne and protection of bird life. Mr..
picp,s arriving was not generally
,.oun no advance notice having
Ioor given of it, and his audience
wss not as large as it otherwise
vould have been.
Mr. Rice is one of the country's
..romost scientists, having given his
,to over to it, and has specialized
~ birds. their life and habits. His
t.,E Saturday was on the protection
- birds as one of the greatest agen-
.;os for combating the conditions
..nsed by the invasion of the boil
veeyil The idea of the bird as an
.vtorminator of the weevil is the idea
NJ the scientist and is not in conflict
with the agricultural department
claims that high fertilization and
fast cultivation is the proper manner
IN treat the situation.
Fast cultivation and high cultlva-
finn places the cotton boil ahead OF
tho maturity of the weevil, and so
arerts most of the damage, while the
birds which eat the weevil lessons
tbe danger by destroying them before
tbev reach their maturity and are
abIe to hurt the cotton. The weevil,
while called a boil weevil, should
nossiblv be called a square weevii,
az II does not attack the boil at all,
feeding entirely on the square, and
nv the time it reaches its maturity
tbe month of July has almost passed,
and the cotton which is late then
sufers. If the birds are allowed to
20 unmolested they will destroy the
young weeyil to such an extent that
their danger to the crop will be
greatly lessened.
He showed how birds have stopped
insect plaques and that they fill
. place in the economics of nature that
is important. Distinguishing clearly
between the seed and insect eating
bird, he made it clear that the
farmer cannot make the most of his
opportunities without the aid Of both.
Mr.. Rice also showed that the man
who wantonly kills birds is an en-
envy to civilization and just to satisfy
q desire to kill he becomes not only
an enemy to those about him, but
to himself. His plea for the birds
and the part they play in the econom-
les Of life was profoundly thoughtful
and at the same time entertaining.
Birds or anything yet found by
science cannot entirely wipe out the
weevil, but its means of doing dam
age can be greatly reduced, and this
is the salvation of the crop. This
section Of Georgia has not felt the
weevil as yet, but within the next

Governor COlquitt is opposed to
making over-production Of cotton a
felony. He explains that he did not
read the bill which recommended
the imposition Of imprisonment ON
farmers, but insists that he south
has arrived at crisis because OF
lowering values.
In his opinion the fixing Of misde-
meanor penalties would be fan
enough to 20 along this line.
He would like to see the legisla-
turc pass a bill limiting the acreage
o be planted in cotton for next
year, if in the wisdom Of the legis-
latiye body this course could be
pursued in harmony with section -
II article y OF our constitution The
attorney general OF the state is of
She opinion that the lawmakers of
Texas have the authority to enact
legislation which will prevent over
production
Governor Colquitt wisely says that
y per cent of the farmers of Texas
are tenants, that in the past many
OF them as d condition OF their ten
antry have been required to plant
and cultivate cotton. and that bank
ers and merchants have also requir-
ed this as a basis for credit. 1t is
his firm conviction that unless there
is some legislation to prevent this
requirement, we may expect in the
future what We know to have been
true in the past along this line,
It is plain business proposition.
The south should reduce the acre
age of cotton full fifty per cent.
Why should its producers commit fl
nancial or Industrial suicide by pro-
ducing crop OF u, 900 900 bales in
1915 when there will be a surplus
Of 5000, oe3 bales this year, and the
demand in 1915 will not go beyond
10,0o0.00o if the war should con
tihue?
Farmers have been warned; cot
ton growers have been shown the
handwriting on the wall Over pro-
duction in 1915 will bring abject
poverty to the men who grow cot
ton unless there is a sweeping re-
ducfi0n. 1t would be a God-send to
the farmers of the nine cotton grow
ing state II the acreage devoted to
cotton culture could be reduced sey-
enty-fiye per cent next year.
The Record has fought for the pro-
ducers Loyalty and 'intelligently, alone
OF all the Gaily newspapers in the
southwest. 1t has thrown its col
umns open vide and championed the
cause of those who needed a spokes-
man.
But men must do something to
help themselves and 10 save them
selves.
They must exercise good judg-
ment in the planting of crops and
they must raise their own foodstuffs
