Senator West,

In his maiden speech in the Unit
ed States senate, brief and to the
point. Senator w. S. West of Georgia
has promised to the producers OF the
West that the South will stand by
them in their fight against market
manipulation if the Western people
will back up the South in the South 5
fight against manipulation OF the
cotton market. Senator West spoke
in response to remarks made by Sen
ator McCumber, who said that the
efforts of the Southern senator's to
stop cotton manipulation reminded
him of his bill for government grain
inspection and other measures cal
culated to protect the Western farm
ing interests. Senator West is now
on a visit to Georgia. He has not
yet given any intimation of what his
political plans for the future are.

WORSE THAN BOIL WEEVIL.

From the MouItrie Observer.
The Federal Horticultural Board
has intercepted a shipment of cotton
seed from Egypt which was found to
be heavily infested by the so-called
pink boil worm. This is a result of
the quarantine against cotton seed
which was promulgated by the board
some time ago. The seed, which were
intended for planting in Arizona, ar
rived in Boston, where the customs
officials, under instructions from the
board obtained possession of them.
The pink worm is the most serious
cotton pest in Egypt. In that cOun-
try it does as much damage as the
boil weevil in this country. The pos
sibility Of reducing the damage it
causes has been considered by gov
ernmental commissions and confer
ences for several years. Like the boil
weevil, it works, for the greater part
of it's existence, within the bolls.
Frequently it makes its way inside
the seeds, where it can live for an in
definite time In fact, in expert
ments performed in the ministry of
agriculture in Egypt it was found
that the worms have lived for as Iong
as seven months in seed in storage

GEoRGIA's CONVICT SYSTEM.

From the Pike County Journal.
That the present convict system in
Georgia, involving the working OF
the prisoners on the public roads, is
the best that has ever been devised,
and that from humanitarian as well
as economic standpoints road labor
means the betterment of the health
and morals of the prisoners as well
as the improvement of the highways,
is declared by l.. Murray Lamm, a
Northern newspaper writer and eX-
pert, who was recently sent into the
South to investigate conditions first
hand. and who is now making his
first report.
Lamm predicts that many other
states in the union will soon be APP
plying to the Georgia prison COM
mission for guidance and informa-
ton. and that the Georgia system,
or something very much like it, will
eventually be adopted by majority
of the states.
Chairman r. E. Dawson and his
associates on the prison board are
very much gratified at this unsolicit-
ed and disinterested testimony as to
what is being accomplished in Geor-
gia.

Clear-eyed and prim, with its walls

Among the leaves of birch,
That tinged but did not stem the

Nestled the little church,
All summer open to the air
And all that's green a-quiver there.
About were tender, dreamy sounds;
The stamp Of horses feet,
The mumbling bees upon their rounds
Where clover nodded sweet,
A piping quail-the grain iow-bent
Showed where her furtive gatherings
went.
Next father in the pew's long row
Came urchins sternly shod;
Next mother-for she planned it So
The child who first would nod,
Laying, when sermon-time oppressed,
His poppy cheek upon her breast.
Bare stretched your aisle and long
your hour
To many a childish wight,
Wee church! yet, rich in holy power,
You blessed as angels might.
Long years have concur faith is
true;
Long years we've prayed, because OF

Prevent Instead of Swat,

With winter not only lingering in
the lap Of spring, but in sections OF
the country effectually hiding that
lady under his rude blankets OF
snow. it seems premature to talk OF
swatting the fly. But, however, that
is no reason why war should not
be started against the nuisance early
before the breeding actually begins.
The importance Of preventive meth
DDS should be emphasized, as the
swat the fly campaigns often miss
the main point altogether, which is
to prevent the flies becoming adult
and breeding.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that a weighty commission OF
experts. in a study of pellagra, has
reached the conclusion that mOuldy
corn has nothing to do with the prop
agation of the disease, but places
the blame instead upon the stable
fly. This finding should give redoub-
led force to the nationwide warfare
against the fly, for it is only one
more indictment to the long roll al
ready recorded against it. The
screening of houses-especially the
rooms in which food is kept, prepar-
ed and eaten-and the cleansing of
the streets and yards from the refuse
in which the flies breed are means OF
combating the pest.
Begin the war now with liberal
applications about the premises of
proper kinds of insect destroyer and
there will be no flies to swat.

Making Bacon In Georgia,

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington has issued an interesting
bulletin on Making Bacon in GeOr-
gia." 1t says: The Southern states
at one time years ago produced
large numbers of hogs and cured
practically all of the bacon nee
essary to feed the people. At
the present time the same cannot
be said of a single Southern state,
and of but few counties in any of
these states. There is one county in
Georgia. however, that is showing
others what can be done in raising
hogs. Brooks county holds the dis
tinction of producing and selling
more bacon than any other county
in Georgia. Recently twenty-five
wagon loads of cured bacon were de-
livered at Quitman in one day. This
amounted to $4,000 pounds.
Last year Brooks county raised
the meat necessary for home con-
sumption, shipped out several car
loads of hogs, and in addition sold
100000 pounds of bacon at an aver
age price of IA cents pound. This
year it is estimated that Brooks
county will sell 100000 pounds of
bacon in addition to what is needed
for home consumption and the large
number of hogs shipped to the mar
kets. About 1000 head of fat cat
tie will also be marketed from the
county. The raising of live stock
has not been accomplished at sacri-
flee of other crops, but has been pro-
duced in addition to the regular
crops, with the result that those who
have taken up this line of work are
becoming the leading and the most
prosperous farmers of the county.
The cash receipts for the live stock
and bacon sold from the county is
near 100000.
What is being done in Brooks
county it is believed could be done
in every county in the South. This
would put the farmer on better
financial footing, because he would
not be dependent upon cotton as his
sole cash crop. Bacon can be made
a most profitable cash crop that can
be marketed in the early spring when
farmers are so often in need of ready
money"
1t is a source Of satisfaction to
know that here in Terrell county the
farmers are giving more attention to
raising hogs than ever before, and
greater quantities of home-raised
meat are now being sold by them
than in many years past.

MENACING THE NATIONS LIFE.

From Philadelphia North American,
Today in this country divorce
which some one aptly has called
family cancer''-is increasing at an
alarming rate
In 1885 nearly $4,000 divorces
were granted in the United States.
Over against this amazing number
were set 10000 divorces for France,
Germany, Russia, Austria. Switzer-
land, Denmark, Great Britain and
Ireland, Roumania, Holland, Bel
GUM, Sweden, Australia, Norway
and Canada together.
Ten years later our own annual
total had increased to $4,000, while
all the rest of the civilized world
had only 10000. That was at the
rate Of one divorce for every twelve
marriages in this country, while at
the same time in England the rate
was one divorce to every 400 mar
riages, and in France-the land we
think of as "gay''-one to every thir-
ty marriages.

\ pessimist is a man who looks for

A BIG COUNTY's BIG CROPS.
ON the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
The fact that Los Angeles county,
California, is almost four times as
large as the largest county in Geor-
gia and ten times as big As Chatham
does not make any less interesting
the census bureaus statement that
it stood at the top of the list OF cOun-
ties of the United States in the value
of crops produced in 1910. 1t has
no one crop that it places chief de-
pendence upon. Its pricinpal crops
are fruits, hay, forage, live stock,
dairy products and vegetables. 1t is
not surprising that a county with a
list of ''principaI' crops like that
should be in the front rank.
New proofs of the necessity OF
raising a variety of crops bob up ev-
cry day, until it would seem that no
farmer had failed to learn that the
sure road to prosperity is not in
sticking to one crop year in and year
out, but in diyersifying his crops. Ii
Los Angeles county had stuck to
fruits alone, for example, an off year
would have put it far down towards
the foot of the list of counties. 1t
may not be possible for a Georgia
county to produce crops as valuable
as a county four to ten times as
large, but prOportiOnately there is no
reason why Georgia counties should
not produce as valuable crops and be
as prosperous every year as other
counties anywhere in the whole
