UNDER ARREST IN
BUTTE MONTANA
Sheriff Swanson Left Last
Saturday To Bring Him
Back To Georgia.

Sheriff w. E. Swanson left for
Butte, Mont, last Saturday to
bring Charles e. Davis back to
Georgia to be tried in connection
with a series of land frauds of which
he is charged with being chief con-
spirator. The news of Davis ar
rest was received in Marietta Friday
night when telegram from Sheriff
Henderson of Butte, to Sheriff
Swanson, told of his arrest. The
naturalization was made from a
photograph sent out by Mr.. Swan
son. AS soon as Davis was arrested
he sent a telegram to ]. w. Mar
shall, of Girard, Ala, who is
brotherin-law of Davis. This con-
firmed the naturalization 50 far as To-
cal officials were concerned and

was a veritable Gradgrind in the

HASTY URGES FIGHT
On BOIL WEEv|L
BY FARMERS
Says Plant Wheat And Oats
For The Boil Weevil
Means Hard Times

There has never been a time in
the history of Cobb County agricul-
ture when the need for sowing small
grain is so apparent as now That
the boil weevil will be here next
year is certain. Dr. e. l.. Worsham,
State EntomolOgist, writes me that
the bell weevil is now in Douglas
county on the South and in Fulton
on the east.
When this pest makes his advent
into the county, hard times are
sure to result unless we are pre-
pared for his coming. The best
time to begin to prepare is NOW.
To wait until he comes before max
ing preparation is folly. 1t is like
going into war without an army.
With the boil weevil staring us
in the face, and with the prevailing
high prices of meal, flour, meat, etc.
it is imperative that we begin now
to have these things at home. With
the present outlook flour is likely to
be SIS per barrel before cotton is
picked again. At such prices 1t
would be much better for the farm
er to raise it at home than to de-
pend on cotton to buy it, even
though he were sure of a large crop
and the boil weevil had never been
heard of.
In going over the county | find
that very little grain has been sown
in some sections. 1t is not too late
to sow wheat and oats, and / want
to urge every farmer in the county
to SOW several acres to oats and at
least two or three acres of his best
land 10 wheat. Then, this same
land can be sown to cowpeas next
summer after the wheat and oats
are harvested, and a good lot of
cowpea hay can be put up for feed
ing your milk cows and yearlings
which should be CONSPICUOUS on
every farm.
am not advocating the sowing
CT wheat and oats as a money crop,
but | am urging every farmer to sow
sufficient acreage to the crops to
supply the home needs, and at the
same time increase the soil fertility.
Why not start a three year rotation
this fall? The best order would be
wheat, followed by cowpeas,) cot
ton with rye as a winter cover
CROP and corn. In this way. not
50 much 4ectton will be planted, but
the farmer will be living at home,
and at the same time will be secur-
ing a greater yield from the acre
age planted.
If any farmer in the county
wants to sow some wheat or oats
and hasn't the seed, please write or
phone me at Powder Springs and |
shall try to get it for you
