AUTOMOBILE TAKES
BIG SHARE IN WAR

How the automobile has revolution
lied methods of warfare was recently
pointed out by President Samuel L.
Colt, of the United States Rubber
company. manufacturers Of United
states tires.
In the days Of the Civil war said
Colonel Colt, Transportation was slow
and tedious, being mostly in the hands
Of the obstinate army mule and the
profane skinner, Operations and ma
noeuvers which are carried on daily
in this war would have been Impossible
then because of the tardy distribution
of supplies and armament
To-day army TRANSFORMATION is
marvel of speed and deperda blity and
rubber has been largely responsible for
the change The fast motor truck of
today could not have been developed
on steel tires. or on tires of any known
material other than rubber. Motor
trucks carry supplies for soldiers. am
munition for their guns. and even the
soldiers themselves, making the army
of today more than ever dependent
upon mechanical transportation for it's
effectiveness. The entente armies at
the present time use in the neighhor-
hood of $4,000 to 100000 motor trucks
The passenger automobiles with
rubber tires make il possible for the
commanders to oversee operations on
twenty. thirty. nifty and even one hun
d-mile fronts. They make it pos
sible for wounded men to be quickly
and carefully carried from the battle
field to the modern hospitals. Thou
sands of lives are weekly saved in this
way The motorcycle takes the place
of the mounted dispatchb bearer of other
days. The total number of motor cars
in use by the entente allies. exclusive of
trucks. is approximately 100000"

was permitted to go without name.
Here in the New World, for many
reasons the custom has been abolished
very nearly. Occasionally one sees in
the south premises with such emblaz-
oned name at the entrance as is usual
~ fitting. Often big orchards, fruit
farms nurseries, dairy farms, live
stock farms, and nut groves have their
names where every traveller can see
and know each from the other But
this is duefto the advertising helpful
ness. Were it not necessary. in all
all probability it would go undone.
The private farm, or big plantation,
whether\specially beautiful or not,
should have its name up If there is
no name, that of the owner is good
enough If he is proud of it, he will
not mind the world knowing that here
is his kingdom. Afodesty isn't the
thing to keep down the names that
should go up on every farm that is
worth having. Every name should
grace every farm and every owner

TIE FARMERS WARNING

One of the many warnings issued
by the government in the effort to
get the farmers of the south to make
larger food crops is the positive as
sertion of Director General McAdoo
of the railroads that he will not permit
the time of the railroads to be taken
up hauling food supplies from the
west tc the south to supply section
that in futrue must feed itself.
McAdoo says he needs the railroads
to prosecute the war and he means
every word of it. If an urgent appeal
for food were TO go up from the south
next winter the roads might be per-
mitted to bring in supplies, but it
would be embarrassing world without
end 1t would be an indictment of
every farmer and stock raiser in the
country.
Nearly every line of print Haunted

calls upon him for a larger food crop.

ings, in the great flaring headlines of
the newspapers he sees it,-in his
dreams at night he is haunted by it.,
and by now the farmer ought to
know that the one all important
thing in his life for at least the year
1918 is food crop,-more food,
enough to supply him, his help and
then still more people. America and
the Entente Allies are fighting a lost
cause unless we do our part in this
That's why it is kept ring
ing ringing in the ears of everybody
1t is never time to let up till we have
that food crop. 1t must be made
we must, we must feed ourselves
The south has done well Georgia
has won credit in the making of food
crops in the past year. - This state will
do even better this year and the ma
ton yet be enabled to draw supplies
from within our borders yet to feed
the great armies of the nations that
must win the war And in another
years time that thing will be pos
sible. We are going to give the nation
our part in food crop.

FREEZES AND BOIL WEEViL

During the past winter the temper
atures have been lower than at any
time since 1899, and there can hard
ly be any doubt that the extreme cold
has reduced the numbers of Weevils
in many sections of the south. The
impression has been gained by many
planters that the weevi has been re-
duced to negligible numbers, if not
altogether exterminated 1t is too
much to expect that the temperatures
have been uniformly cold enough to
absolutely exterminate the weevil
from large areas. The records indi-
cate that there is at least from one
to five percent survival of the weevil
in those sections which have been
thoroughly studied as against a nor
NAL of rs per cent survival. This
percentage of surviving weevils is
sufficient to re-stock the cotton fields
of the South before the end of the
growing season, =" -
There is always a possibility that
there may be some especially sheltered
spots even in the more northerly in
tested regions where some weevils
will be able to survive. The instinct
of the weevil leads it to seek the
warmest shelter available in the vicin-
ity of its breeding ground. 1t will
shelter itself under the bark of trees,
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1918-03-03

or in thick hanging moss upon the
trees. under the thatch of roofs, and
in staw stacks, in seed store houses
and in gins, and in other buildings
1t is therefore lquite easy 10 see
that no matter how cold the external
temperatures are there is always a
probability that there will be weevils
surviving in each field sheltered Sc
curely enough to carry them through
the winter
The experience of 20 years with the
boil weevil in this country has shown
that one or two weevils surviving in
field can easily produce enough
offspring to destroy all but the ear
Hest portions of the crop.
No reliable prediction can be made
on the basis of what happened during
the winter. Frequently seasons in
which very few weevils pass the win
ter have been followed by great in
jury to the crop by the weevi. This
has been due to favorable conditions
brought about by heavy rains during
the early part Of the growing season,
which permitted the weevils to over
come their losses during the winter,
or to early dispersion of the weevils
from the warmer sections of the cot
ton belt. and sometimes to severe
tropical storms which frequently
sweep over the Gulf states. 1t is
therefore apparent that the conditions
OF the spring and summer will largely
determine the extent of the damage
due to the weevil rather than the
number of weevils which survive in
a given locality.
1t would be very unfortunate if the
prevailing impression concerning the
boil weevil should increase the acer-
age in cotton at the expenes of food
crops. At the present time. what is
most urgently needed throughout the
south is an increased production of
food and feed crops. There is every
indication that the normal acreage in
cotton. with proper cultivation. will
give supply of the staple sufficient
for all purposes. 1t is clearly mat
ter of patriotism as we'll as sound
judgement for the farmers to increase
the acreage in food crops. The plan
ter who increases his cotton acreage
cannot be assured that his crop will
not suffer greatly from the boil weevil
attack, and will be utilizing his land
in way that does not best serve
the necessities of the country
