WEATHER IS HARD
ON COTTON CROPS

Washington, June 4.-There was
continued, unfavorable weather for
cotton in most districts Of the belt
during. the week ending Tuesday the
weather bureaus national weather
and crop bulletin today announced.
"The rainfall was rather heavy In
the Ell tYai and southeastern portions
OF the cotton belt" says the bulletin,
"an also IL some western, localities.
The temperature for the week as a
whole averaged below the normal, ex-
cept in the Carolinas and Tennessee,
the week being especially cool in Ok
laroma and Texas.
Conditions were rather favorable
for cotton in the Carolinas and F'lori-
ca, and the crop made satisfactory
progress in most localities in those
states; elsewhere, however, the CON
tinued rainfall and wet soil were I'M
favorable for cultivation and growth.
1rhe condition of cotton continued
in Georgia, but it is de
teriorating from Lack of cultivation
md grassy fields. Progress during
the week was poor generally in Ala
bama and Mississippi, where little
was afforded for much
need cultivation.
Grass is becoming serious IL
Louisiana and eastern Arkansas but
are more satisfactory in
the southwestern portion Of the lat
ter state. The soil continued too wet
for cultivation in Oklahoma where
cotton made generally poor progress;
the stand and condition are satisfac-
tory in the southeastern portion of
the state, but generally very poor
elsewhere.
Cotton made little progress in
Texas during the week on account Of
wet soil and grassy fields, and chop
ping and replanting were delayed,
but insects show less activity.

hoped that he will be able to spend
the evening of June in Atlanta.
The reiterated assertions of the
warrior that it was his implicit and
simple faith in God that brought him
unscathed from the furnace of war
has made him a presonage who has
attracted attention in ecclesiastical
as well as military subjects 1t is
largely for this reason that he is be-
ing sought by the great gathering of
Presbyterian Laymen.

POISON DRIVE ON
WEEVIL ARRANGED
CALCIUM ARsENATE DEMoE-
sTRATloN WILL BE GIVEN IN
COTTON FIELDS OF SUMTER
THIS MONTH.

Americas, June calcium arse
nate will be used in large quantities
by Sumter farmers this year in an
effort to exterminate boil weevil, ac-
cording to George o. Marshall, county
farm demonstration agent here. Elk
perts of Federal department the sgri-
culture have been experiment with
this drug during the past three years
and their experiments have reached
point wherea method for dealing witha
this dangerous cotton pest has been
evolved.
Mr.. Marshall will give series of
demonstrations here this month, and
Sumter county farmers will be in
structed in the proper manner of pro-
tecting their cotton plants. Mr.. Mar
shall firmly believes the new method
will absolutely control boil weevils
and that the day of serious damage
from this pest has definitely passed.
The number of applications neces-
sary to insure the complete elimina-
ton of the weeyils is the only essent-
ial detail yet to be evolved by the
federal experimenters and in order
to be perfectly safe, Mr.. Marshall
will recommend that Sumter farmers
make the maximum number of appli-
cations 1t is well, he says, that stock
be muzzled in cultivating fields
where this poison has been applied.
In the demonstration to be made
here he will explain in detail the en-
tire method to be pursued.

There are now outstanding about
$1,000 of unpaid dues, which if col
lected would go far toward relieving
the pressing demands of the immedi-
ate present.
1T is indeed gratifying to note that
feeling of confidence and favor has
sprung up among the better element
of Americas and Sumter county bust
ness men toward the chamber of COM
merce, and if the organization is pro-
viled with an adequate income it is
in position to accomplish wonderful
results in constructive development.
In conclusion I want to express
my most sincere thanks to President
Hightower, Vice-President Tillman
and every member of the board OF
commissioners for the personal en-
enlargement and the very valuable
assistance which they have given me
at all times, and without which it
would have been impossible to bring
your chamber of commerce to its
present standard of efficiency. It has
been my ambition to see the organi-
cation conducted on the same high
plane as any bank or successful COM
mercial organization, and to the re-
tiring& officers is due much of the
credit for the success attained"

ing the experiences of Columbus in a
similar project.
II you build hotel by all means
build one large enough" he said ct
will surprise you how quickly the town
will grow to it. And build it absolutely
modern There is no reason in the
world why you should not have a great
deal of tourist traffic. With such hotel
you will soon find that 300 rooms will
be filled as easily as a much smaller
number. But first be certain what you
want and before you undertake it be
sure your plans are right"
George R. Ellis, who successfully
handled the Victory loan drive as
chairman for the county was given a
rising vote of thanks for his undertake
and efforts, and he, in turn thanked
the loyal citizens who co-operated with
him to achieve success.
Just before adjournment it was vot-
ed to hold a 'get-together" dinner of
the entire membership of the chamber
at which it is planned to have a def
rite program for the new year ready
for presentation and discussion. The
date of this affair is to be fixed later.
Secretary's Report.
Secretary Perkins made the follow
ing report covering the period from
July 20, 1918, to May 10, 1919
Mr.. President and Gentlemen: 1t is
the usual custom of commercial sec
retaries to go into lengthy and ex-
haustive discussion of the various
and sundry activities of the preceding
year in their annual report rather
than discuss the problems and posi-
bilities of the future. However,
shall take the liberty of pursuing the
latter course more largely, as every
citizen of Americas and Sumter
county who is the most casual OBJ
server of current events is already
familiar with what has been accom-
plished during the past few months.
| wish to state, however, that your
present administrative body has la
bored under many handicaps, among
the most serious being the fact that
for many weeks it's activities were
practically at a standstill due to the
prohibition of all public gatherings
during the influenza epidemic Never.
theless the past nine months have
witnessed considerable constructive
development for Americas and Sum
ter county and it is very gratifying
to be able to say that your chamber
of commerce has been prominently
identified with every movement along
this line, taking the initiative in most
of them. The work done could have
been more varied and effective had
the organization enjoyed more
healthy financial condition and the
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-05-14

and the ability to get things done
should take the lead, and it is sur
prising how easily they can weld the
citizenship together into tremendous
force for the advancement OF the
mmunity-morally, industria1ly and
every other way.
THE most vitality important peri
cd in the history of the organization
now faces your chamber of commerce.
During the months Immediately be-
fore us great opportunities for last
ing development will come-in fact
they are racing past us in an almost
unbroken procession as the days go
by. The eyes of the nations are turned
to our God-fayored southland, and the
next few years will see phenomenal
changes. In order that your chamber
of commerce may be prepared to
safeguard the interests of Americas
and Sumter county, l commend to
your earnest consideration the follow
ing essentially necessary provisions;
FIRST-An increased membership
come in order to meet the increasing
demands made upon the organization
SECOND-Active participation in
the work CT the organization by the
largest possible percentage of it's
membership.
THIRD-Cultivatio of closer re-
lations between city and country, And
in this latter connection, permit me
to say most emphatically that no city
can prosper unless the country sur
rounding it first prospers, and no ag
ricultural section can exist unless the
city affords profitable market for its
products. Therefore, one of the chief
concerns of any chamber of commerce
should be to bring the men of the
city and the farm together. And
might add by way of parenthesis that
much of the work of your present
administrative body during the past
six months has been along this line.
Il beg to call especial attention to
the crying need for homes and bust
ness houses in Americas. This condi-
ton exists perhaps throughout the
entire country. The city which first
meets the demand will gain lead
that will be hard to overcome.
Il cannot refrain from voicing a
note of pride in being able to pre-
sent the following statement of the
financial condition of your organiza-
ton covering the period from July
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-05-14

that he did not feel it proper for him
to say anything at the time beyond
express his appreciation of the honor
and confidence given him by the cham
Der He declared he did not know
what the policies of the new president
would be, but promised that he could
be counted upon to follow wherever
the president should lead.
He called upon the other newly cleo
ted officers and members generally
many of whom responded with express
sions of renewed spirit and confidence
and desire to accomplish
Auditorium Project.
Frank Lanier, being asked for a re.
port on the proposal to build a new au-
ditorium, stated that the chamber COM
mittee, of which he is chairman dur
ing the illness of Arthur Rylander, was
not yet ready with a report, as it was
necessary yet to consult further with
the auditorium committees of the Ro-
tary club and the city council. He de-
clared, however that the auditorium
must be built and that he had no
doubt that definite action would be
forthcoming very soon. He stated that
the committee swas seriously consid-
ering the combining of a hotel with
the auditorium, as is being done in La
Grange and has been done at Co
lumbus. He declared an additional
hotel to care for the normal demands
of the travelling public is needed, and
that such an enterprise would be
paying investment.
j. Ralston Cargill, one of the new
commissioners, who was formerly
president of the Columbus chamber of
commerce, made an inspiring talk on
the possibilities facing the chamber.
He declared that an elevator or ware
house to assist the farmers in market
ing the products of their farms to be
a prime need of the community, and
suggested that the chamber give seri-
Gus consideration to such a project.
He urged that the chamber concen-
trate its activities on one thing at
a time, determining in advance what
it wants to do most and what it can
do, then doing it. He discussed the ho-
tel-auditorium project briefly, recount

active enthusiastic cooperation of !
larger number of its members.
Your secretary has devoted mucn
time and thought to the subject of
bringing our members to realize the
importance of supporting the organi-
cation thoroughly without stinting,
both morally and financially, and the
results have been very gratifying /
attribute the success along this line
largely to the conditions brought
about by the war.
Cut of the great tragedy of the
war, now happily thing of the past,
will come untold blessings and les
sons of value to present as well as
future generations War has taught
us the value of brotherhood in the
most glorious form; of team work,
and of dependence one upon the 9TH
and hate extravaganza.
Not the least Of the great bless
ngs which will come to us out of the
costly sufferings and sacrifices of
the past four years will be recogni-
ton Of business as the great dynamic
force of our economic life, and of bust
ness men as the dominant factors in
guiding the great ship of state thru
the perils of the war period. Not
many years ago if a man was en-
gagged in business, tradesman, so to
speak, he was barred from active par
!ticipation in the councils of state or
nation. The aristocrat, the slave own
err, the planter, and the professional
man looked with more or less dis
dain upon the grocer, the baker and
the candle stick maker But today
business has come into its own. When
the necessity for wise council and ac-
tive preparation became apparent in
order to win the war our great pres
ident gathered about him many big
business men and the task was ac-
complished.
"The question is frequently asked,
Why is Chamber of Commerce
needed here at ALP This can be an
swered by another question, Why is
our city needed? Why did people de-
eide to locate their business here in
stead of in a COW pasture? The an
swer is obvious. They had to go where
other people were A merchant needs
customers, lawyer clients, doc
tor patients, the manufacturer labor
They all needed friends, entertain
ment, churches, schools, libraries and

Thanks For HightOwer.
Before Mr.. Hightower surrendered
the chair, Frank Lanier, on behalf of
the other members of the chamber, ex-
pressed the thanks and appreciation of
the organization for the untiring and
whole-hearted efforts put forth at all
times and on all occasions by the re-
firing president for the good of the
chamber and the community. Mr.

the cooperation of the membership
and promised his whole-hearted as

Mr.. Sheffield being absent, Mr.. Eve
