Recruiting Highway
Outside Of Smithville
Brings on Protest,

A controversy is being waged be-
tween the citizens Of Smitlfville and
the Commissioners of Lee County
about the rerouting OF the Dixie
Highway. The present line OF the
highway has dangerous grade cross
ings in the immediat vicinity OF
Smithville, and in an effort to eli
inmate these, engineers OF the State
Highway Department relocated u
portion of the highway between the
Sumter County line and Hays
crossing and the Leesburg road, a
few miles south OF Smithville.
The new line passes directly III
front of the Smithville consolidated
school, now being erected, but does
not go directly through the town OF
Smithville as at present.

Public Schools of
Lee County Opened
Monday Morning,

Monday morning marked the
opening OF all the public schools in
Lee County, and probably the larg-
est attendance ever recorded in the
history of the county was enrolled.
The opening exercises Of the Lees
burg school was held at $3.50 in
the auditorium and quite a number
parents attended the exercises.
One of the most important fea-
lures of the opening here was the
large attendance the first day. The
increase in the number of students
under the consolidation system
makes The present quarters of the
school in the old school building
even more unsatisfactory than be.
fore, but the patrons Of the school
are expecting to have the new
$65, 900 school building now being
erected completed by January LIST.
Professor V. P. Folds, who is the
of Leesburg schools
for the ensuing year presided over
the opening exercises. New men,
bers of the faculty were introduced
to the assembled audience, announc-
ments of importance concerning the
school organization and manage
ment were made, and several short
talks given. Rev. ]. H. Wyatt,
pastor CT the Baptist Church, con-
Quoted brief devotional exercises
and made short talk in behalf of
the school and the school interest OF
the community. A closing word OF
welcome and encouragement to the
members of the faculty and the
students and patrons was
given by Professor Frank T. Long
of Southern College, Clearwater Fla.
Indications point to a successful
year in the I4eesburg school system,
and the opening OF the schools I'M
der such favorable conditions Of at
tendance is most encouraging.
About 1875 pupils from rural Sec
tons will be brought to Leesburg
in trucks to attend school.
Members of the school faculty
for the ensuing year are az follows:

tendent; Miss Leila Grimes, Miss

Protect Your Corn
From Weevils,

Alter harvesting COIH tiIe ihlNl0l
has still another battle to fight be-
| fore he can enjoy the fruits of hi;
labor. The corn weevil can destroy
his crop when In the crib as we'll as
drought, cutwolms, or smut can in
the field. With the large corn crop
grown IN Georgia last year the Geor-
gia farmer is taking more interest in
controlling this evil. The Georgia
Experiment Station has Of late re-
ceived u large number of inquiries
! in regard to methods of controlling
the weevil.
There are several insects which at
tack corn in storage. All Of these
have small whitish larvae that bore
into the corn and cause the damage
The adult is either little moth the
so called "hy weevil" or small
beetle, the common weevil.
The corn shuck provided it fits
closely around the ear and extends
well out over it. will protect the corn
from most weevils. Loose damaged
or poorly developed shucks do not
protect the corn but serve rather as
a protection to the weevil. There
appears to be a good opportunity for
tie corn breeder to develop a corn
with well developed shuck that
will protect the corn from the at
tacks of the weevils.
Corn with long tight shucks in.
good condition needs no treatment
in storage, IS the shncks will keep
the wetvils out. Such ears may
be stored by themselves without
further care. The corn with loose
or damaged shucks should either be
fed at once, or fumigated with car
bon disulphid.
In order to fumigate with carbon
disulphid it is necessary to have the
corn in an air tight container. This
may be crib with tight walls and
floor and close fitting doors and
windows, a specially constructed
box, water tight Darrell, or even al
tin pail, depending on the amount
of corn to be fumigated. The essential
thing is that it be as near tight as
possible. The container should not
be much larger than is necessary tOI
hold the corn, as the amount of
carbon disulphid used depends on
the size of the container and not on
amount of corn or the number of
weevils. Corn should always bel
shucked before fumigating, as the
shuck will prevent the penetrating
the corn.
Carbon disulphid is a heavy IL
quid which evaporates very rapidly
and forms a very heavy gas. This
gas will explode if a fire of any sort
is brought near it. For this reason
carbon disulphid should never be
used in building where there is
fire.
II the corn is in an air tight con-
tainer three to five pounds of car
bon disulphid per l ,00G feet Of cub
ic feet OF space is enough. This may
be applied by making several holes
in the top of the pile Of corn, pour
ing the carbon bisulphid in, and
then closing up the hole. The car
bon disulphid will not injure the
either the feeding value or germina-
ton Of the corn.
Carbon disulphid is not poison
Gus, but will produce a severe head
ache if too much of the gas 10 in

Cleanup Week
We speak of this special week as
Cleanup Week, because it has been
set aside by the mayor for the clean
ing of the town. Some people often
wonder what it means. Some OF
our illustrations are: Clean your
back yard as well as you front yard,
cellar and attic. But first of all boys
and girls should keep their tongues
and hearts clean and themselves
also. 1t is'important for us because
it helps to clean the city.
In all homes we have a certain
custom to go by. In most of the
homes we wash Monday, Tuesday
iron, Friday clean and Saturday
bake. But take great care in clean-
ing the house. Clean it from top to
bottom thoroughly. 81
There is a similar custom in our
city. 1t is to clean cutters ~thoroush-
" and not allow people to spit on
| the sidewalks for 1t causes tubercu-
losis. on every corner of our city
| streets we should have aig-h
people to throw waste papers.
In order to keep our yards with
grass and flowers we must keep dogs
off for they dig up the flowers and
grass.
If we want our streets~to be kept
mic we must take the men that lie
idle in the county Jail and make
them work for their meals. They
could work in early morn and clean
the streets.
Now if we clean our city there is
still another thing, and that Is clean
out the underhanded thing which
causes crimes and that is the selling
of liquor. Now if we do this / am
sure our city will have a better repu-
tation. Il
