This Would Release Won Mackensen's
Army and Enable Kaiser to Rein

The allied governments have in
formation indicating that Germany
is straining every nerve to win Rou-
mania to a separate peace. One re-
port has it that Emperor William
has sent the most blood-curdling let
ter to King Ferdinand, threatening
dire vengeance for what he describes
as the treachery of Runlania's Ho-
henzollern king. Another report has
it that a practical armistice has en-
abled diplomatic representatives to
meet freely with Rumanian officials
at or near Fokshani.
The primary object of the nego-

GEORGIA TOBACCO
BRINGS A BIG PRICE
SOUTH CAROLINA PAPER TELLS
OF SOME BIG SALES THERE
MADE BY GEORGIANS.

AS an instance of what Georgia
tobacco can do, an article from the
Mullins IS. CO. Enterprise is repro
duced below. Owing to the interest
being shown in the probable growth
of tobacco in Terrell county next
year this article should be of great
interest to the people here. The
story follows:
"The sale of tobacco on the Null
Inns market Tuesday was one of the
most phenomenal in many respects
that has taken place in Mullins in the
history of the town, from a price
standpoint. While there was only
about $4,000 pounds sold on that day
the price paid was remarkable-al-
most fabulous, for this section.
"For instance, we noticed one
large pile of tobacco, 1888 pounds,
that brought $4,049.3O, or an aver
age price of $31.56 per hundred. The
prevailing prices were considered ful-
ly So to $40 per hundred higher than
formerly.
''The bulk of the tobacco was
grown in various counties in Georgia,
where they have no facilities for
marketing the weed, and for that rea-
son shipped it to Mullins for sale.
Tuesdays sale brings the total
amount of tobacco sold on the Null
Inns market since the formal closing
of the markets to approximately $780,
600 pounds"

the weevil. On one stalk that my
self picked thirty grubs there is a
magnificent production of cotton. I
had the weevils picked twice week
until August Is, and the cost aver
aged three dollars an acre.
~ am convinced as the result of
my efforts that the boil weevil can
be beat, and that on good land, such
as we have in this section, if prop
er fertilizer methods are employed,
a bale to the acre can be made. But
it takes work, and plenty of it, and
it must be done both early and late.

MADE BALE PER ACRE
in SPITE OF WEEVIL
FARMER TELLS HOW HE BEAT
THE PESTIFEROUS COTTON
BUG NEAR SMITHVILLE.

SMITHVILLE, Cam inspiring
story of how the boil weevil was
fought and conquered is related by
R. T. Mathews, who farms two and a
half miles from here.
The net result of his story is that
on 35 acres planted in cotton he will
make 33 bales, in spite of the fact
that the boil weevils were on his
farm by the thousands and thou
sands.
Other farmers adjoining Mr.. Ma
thews are making only bale to ev-
cry three acres.
Mr.. Mathews tells how he beat the
weevil in these words:
How He Beat the WeeviI.
Beginning early last fall 1 de-
stroyed the cotton stalks. l plowed
under half of them, and the other
half / cut down with a stalk cutter
and raked them up and burned them.
I also burned all rubbish and hedges.

ed on the third of April. l used on
35 acres only $50 pounds of twelve

elsewhere. On the land where l fol-
lowed the legume crops with cotton

than a bale to the acre. SO far

six more bales to be picked.
