THE FARMERS FRIEND.

Very naturally the coming of the
boil weevil into Georgia has caused no
end of comment, and also much appre-
hension on the part of the farmers
throughout the state. The farmer will
learn to meet the situation in Georgia
Just as he learned how to meet 1t in
Texas and other states in which. the
weevil has done much damage.-Ath-
ems Banner.
Our Athens contemporary is severa
wears behind the times. The boil weevi
has been in this section of Georgia five
years, and has proved to be one of the best
friends of the farmer 1t has wrought 9
revolution in agriculture by causing diver
sifcation of crops and intensive cultivation
with the result that the farmers are more
prosperous and Independent than ever be
fore in their lives.
Although the acreage has been consider
ably reduced a great deal of cotton is ye
produced, almost as much per acre as be
fore In fact, instances of where farmer!
gathered as much as a bale per acre las
year are not lacking. Early planting, heavy
fertilization, rapid cultivation and picking
up punctured squares will insure a gooC
cotton yield in spite of the weevil.
The real farmer, the one who looks afte1
the cultivation of his crops, need have M
fear of the boil weevil. Rather, it shoul(
be welcomed as an ally in bringing pros
perity to the farm.

SAN FRANCISCO PROSPECTS.

Political predictions are always hazard
Gus. Yet it does not require the wisdom
of a seventh son of seventh son to pre-
dict that the real contest at San Francisco
this week will lie between the administra-
ton forces and what may be termed the
Bryan element. If the former win, the re-
publican challenge" regarding the league
of nations will be accepted Internationally.
If the latter scores it will be accepted with
conditions But whichever wins the demo
cratic party will not put an unconditional
"wet" plank in its platform. It's temperance
announcements will pertain to some modi-
fication of the Volstead "bone dry" act, and
on these the candidates will stand. What
the party will do concerning labor's de-
mands is more of a question.

the tongues of their vendors are
dumb. Sadly the stars gaze through
the night mist, tear-dimmed eyes that
search the blind windows in vain.
The people they knew laugh no more,
for their dreams, their loves, and their
lives are wfthered. The waning moon
seeks the tower and finds but a shat

Something did happen. The COW be-
came sick and died, while she was still
dry, and without returning a cent.
That took all the joy out of life for
Tom. He moped around, and once Or
twice he went out to the barn and
looked at the place where she had
stood.

Tom wasn't so far wrong at that.
When boy loses a cow these days 1t
means something. Older people would
feel just as bad, especially if. like Tom,
they still had TO pay for the COW, with
no way of doing it.
But Toms club leader heard about
1t. He knew that none of the club
members was rich. but he told them
about Toms bad luck. And somehow,
Toms plight appealed to them. for
many had borrowed money to start

There's wide bare field where ghostly trees
Plead for the mercy of Heaven
They lift their broken arms and sigh
Against the p1hless, cold, gray sky,
But their prayers are hushed in the cloudy seas,
And the crows are flying over.
In the desoate waste, the shell-pits gap;
Their wounded lips bleed peoples
They are trimmed with rusted guns and swords,
With bits Of cloth and broken boards
And their waters mirror the broad wng-fap
Of the crows that are flying over
Ger the battle plain, there's fierce race
OF the death birds seeking booty.
Together they rush and dip and dart
In the midst of the bleak fields aching heart,
There's lonely cross that marks the place .
