Interesting Items From
The Americas Schools
THE HIGH SCHOOL

Well, schools all over, and every
hody's sorry. This wasn't to be eX-
pected but everybody is and that's
about all. We have had a good time
along with hard work, and the best
school we ever had
The faculty through the year has
been most considerate, and to every
one of them, the appreciation of the
student-body is given. They have
through the term, had an intense in
terest in all the school activities, and
have always accorded the students all
the time, energy, and encouragement
possible.
We are sorry to leave them all, the
seniors especially, since with theend
Of this term, the graduating class will
leave forever, the familiar halls and
scenes of the Americas High school. To
them the good old days Of Americas
High will be but memory of times
never to come again, and they will take
their way to the fields of endeayor and
rise or fall as fate DEGREES. But, there
is not one in the class who would think
CT disgracing teh fair name of Amer
icus High and as they go through life
the influence of Americas High school
will lead them to the light.
1t will be of interest to all readers,
and students, to know just where the
members of the faculty will spend the
hot summer months:
Prof. W. ]. Noyes has not announced
here he and Mrs. Noyes will spend the
time when old one-eyed Sol has the
floor, but it is generally supposed that
lie will spend the summer with rela-
.tiyes around Macon.
Prof. c. G. Clement will probably &C
to North Carolina to spend the sum-
mer camping in the mountains.
Mr.. and Mrs. DeBruyne will leave
Immediately after the close of school
for North Georgia, where they will
spend the summer around Demorest
where so many Americas people visit
every year.
Miss Lola Keatley has already re.
turned to her home in far away Dow
agiac, Michigan, and will remain there
throughout the summer months.
Miss Nina Chambers Mexican will
return to her home in Cinnatti.
Prof J. G. Hoist will brave the ter
Eors of Soils reign here in Americas
where he will assist in the Y. NJ. C. A..
during the absence of Director Glen
Colby, who is umEiring and lodging
dope" bottles in the Dixie League.
Miss Lena Hardy, of the music de,
partment, returns Immediately after
the closing exercises to her home in
Missouri.
Now if Uncle Jack, of the furnace
department, is a member of the faculty
he must come in for his share of the
going away" for vacation. Uncle Jack
will spend the summer in anyone's
garden, that is if anyone wants to pay
him a small salary to see after the
beets, cabbages and hen-fruit. So just
about all the faculty members will
leave, and the school is to be wholly
deserted.

ME- HOD FOR FIGHTING
THE BOIL WF:FVIL

| On account of the advent of the boil
weevil and the serious situation that
confronts the Georgia farmer, espec-
tally in the southern part Of the state
this year, we are profiting by the ex-
perience of others and hand you
herewith some valuable information
which we think is the best and easiest
method to combat the boil weevil that
we have seen. This information is
copied in part from letter issued by
the Alabama Department of Agricul-
ture, which Department has for years
been studying along this line:
The boil weevil will begin to appear
upon small cotton plants in South and
middle Georgia during this month.
From early morning until the hot
part of the day, the weevil will be
found sitting on the bud of the plants.
Occasionally the bud is injured or
the leaf punctured, turning black
resembling frost bite. This is a sign
that the weevil is either on the plant
or has left it and is on another plant
near by. This is the time to annihil-
ate the weevils by picking them from
the buds of the plants and destroying
them while The plants are small af-
fording no hiding place, while the
weevils are fewer in number, no
squares are present to be infected and
the work can be done at least cost.
This is called an ounce of prevention
and the psychological moment to &C
complish the geratest amount of
good with the least labor and cost.
While chopping cotton labor
should be instructed to watch
carefully the buds of the plants and
destroy any weevils they may find.
Children or even grown people may
be employed to go over the fields, row
at time, looking straight at the moll
of every plant and small premium
may be offered for the capture of the
weevil by the hundred. This should be
/ done when the cotton has about four to
six leaves. For every weevil destroy
cd you save hundred or more squares
and in the long run probably thous-
ands of squares are saved that this
one weevil or her increase would have
destroyed. This weevil picking should
be done at cost of about twenty-five
cents per acre, if done at the proper
time
When the first blooms begin to ap-
pear the few weevils you fail to find at
the time you picked weevils will have
infested few squares that turn yell
low and fall to the ground in spots
here and there. These squares con-
tain larvae and will hatch out weevils.
TO pick UP and burn this first small
crop of fallen squares will cost from
25c to SOC per acre if done at the
proper time, but saves the entire crop.
1t puts the weevils so nearly out of
business that it will take until the
middle of August for them to multiply
in sufficient numbers to do much dam
abe, by which time good crop will be
safely in boil. The cost of picking the
Weevil and picking the first crop of
fallen squares need not exceed zoe
| per acre, if fdone at the proper time.
Shallow frequent cultivation should
be extended until the middle of
! August"
