URGED no TRY FLORIDA PL.AN.
Tlantcrs on Low Yielding Land Are
Especially Asked to Fight Wccvil.

Washington, Nov. %. - Planters
throughout the South - especially
those growing cotton on low-yielding
land--were urged to-day by the De-
partment of Agriculture to give dur
ing the coming season a widespread
and thorough trial Of The new method
Of boil weevil control developed by
G. d. Smith at the Florida State ex-
pertinent station at Gainesville, Fla,
and recently announced by Dr.. Will
mon Newell Of the Florida State
plant board.
In its first official announcement
on the subject the Department Of Az
riculture said it took great interest
in the new method as announced in
the Florida bulletin dealing with the
experiments Of Mr.. Smith
"n these experiments, which were
conducted in Northern Florida" said
the departments announcement" "he
treated fields averaged 439 pounds
OF seed cotton per acre; the unlreat-
cd checks averaged only 16l pounds
of seed cotton per acre, or an average
increase Of 275 pounds Of seed cotton
per aero in hi tests. The average
cost Of treatment for the entire sea-
son WAS .57 per acre. The new
method consists Of the removal and
destruction OF all squares on the
plants at. time when about two
squares per plant are present. This
operation destroys larger per cent
Of tho wccvils and is Immediately
followed by thorough dusting to
poison the terminal buds where the
remaining weevilS are forced TO feed
"This announcement is particular
ly important because it apparently
offers means Of controlling the boil
wcevil on low-yielding land on which
1t has SO far been Improbable to use
the dusting method.
Average large proportion Of the
cotton crop is produced on low-yield-
ing land, and the bureau Of ento-
il. .mology is greatly pleased that this
new method has been developed, we'll
Knowing Prof. Newell's standing as
careful and reliable Investigator,
and urged widespread and thorough
trial Of this method during the com
ing season wherever tho conditions
appear suitable for its use"

has since been built over this. New
stores, gins, etc, were added frolh
time to time. until now there are five
store buildings, three In business;
two blacksmith shops, ono cotton gin
and one corn mill.
The majority Of the early citizens
wero uneducated, However, there
were some who were. and sthey we're
eager for thoir children to- have a
better chance than they had$had. Be-
fore the year 1S45 the children were
taught at home. Most Of their lessons
were lessons from nature. A pay
school was started in 1846.in an old
log house, where the Retreat No. 2
school is now located. This school
was taught by John Fulton. In the
year 1S49 school was started In a
log house at the head Of the branch
in Jim Mason's pasture. This school
was known as the Camp Ground
school. Il was first taught by NJ. B.
Morgan. 1t was also used as a Meth
odist church. The circuit fider, Mr..
Fingers, held his meetings here.
Germs were scarce, for there was too
much fresh air and light for germs
to thrive. Several schools were
taught in this place. One day tho
house was discovered in ashes. The
next school the children attended
was the Adds school. John Adds
Taught this. He believed in teaching
the Bible in public schools. He would
row the boys and girls up and ask
the first man? the wisest man? the
oldest man? This question was too
hard for some. The teacher passed
it down the line until it reached
Thompson Bearden. He answered
Methuselah. Will Adds, who had
missed the question, leaped out into
the floor and said: ooh, yes, | re-
member now; l saw him at the mus
ter ground"
After the boys and girls finished
tho log hut, those who wanted to
study further went to South Union
to .he academy, which was taught by
Kit Spears. In the year 1871 the peo-
pie. Of Oakway came together and
built little school house just below
where Oscar Wright now lives. This
house was used until about 1880,
when small house was built at
Bethel. Miss Fannie Blair was the
first lady teacher in The Nubbin Ridge
section.
For some reason, about this time
the school Was about to dash against
rock Of destruction, but one man
| appeared Oh the scene to rescue it.
This was S. p. Thornton. Itwas said
Of him, 'He came in like lion and
went out like a lamb" The school
grew so rapidly that during Miss
Fannie Sheldon's first year of teach
ing here the money was taken and a
new school house built. AS no funds
were available the Oakway children
had a rest for two years. The second
year after the school was started in
the new building Miss Fannie Shell
don was again elected to teach. For
two years she labored, but not in
vain, for she is numbered among the
teachers who gave faithful service.
Her influence has left it's stamp on
the lives Of numbers Of boys and
girls. In the year 1905 the school
was burned just two weeks before
the school closed. The insurance was
collected and Immediately q new
house with three rooms was built.
The school has grown from year to
year.
To what do we owe the occasion
of to-day? Just back in the year 1915

CHICAGO, July 3-Railroad
strike interests, which conferred
over the weekend on the walkout
Saturday of shopmen whose union
holds in its ranks 100000 men, to-
day turned to developments depen-
dent upon the canvass at Detroit
today of the strike vote of Main
flamenco of Way employees and
action by their union officials. The
two days strike of shop-craftsmen
has failed, according to reports, to
interfere seriously with transpor-
tation or to produce definite
statement of the number of men
out. Edward F. Cradle, president
of the Maintainence of Ways en-
ployees, today apparently held the
key to the strike situation and
upon him hopes for causing furth-
er walkouts, largely rested. Pas
senger traffic since the strike be-
gan is reported by the roads to
have been exceptionally heavy ow-
ing to pre-holiday travel.
DETROIT, Mich, July Sc. M.
Cradle, president of the Brother
hood of Maintainence of Way en-
ployees, announced that if ma
jority of two-thirds to three
fourths of the vote is found to ia
vor strike the men will be or
dered out. Cradle declared that
although 100000 of the 100000
Maintaince of Way men employees
on the American rail lines are af-
filiated with the brotherhood, the
100000 non union workers have
been given opportunity to vote and
their wish as expressed by the bal
lots canvassed today will be con-
sidered with those Of the brother
hood members.
BOSTON, July 3-Systematic
picketing of engine houses, shops
and terminals in this district was
started today by striking railway
shopmen. Union leaders predicted
that the number of strikers would
be materially increased this morn
ing by the addition of men who
were on duty when the strike be-
gan last Saturday. Railway eXecu-
tives said the extent of the walkout
would not be determined until
Wednesday. They expressed the
opinion that many of the shopmen
took advantage of the four-day
holiday and would return to work
on Wednesday. Union officials
claimed the strike would be 100
per cent effective on Wednesday.
The employment office of the
Boston and Maine reported that
800 men had already been hired
to take the jobs of those who
walked out.
CHICAGO, July 3-With the
striking railway shopmen formal
ly outlawed by the United States
Railroad Board both the strikers
and the roads were standing pat
all over the country in an unyield-
ing position. The headquarters of
the union reported complete
walkout so far as reports had been
received The managers of the
railroads declined to make any
statement. Interest in the situa-
ton centered in Detroit where the
United Brotherhood of Mainten-
ance of Way Employees and Rail
road Shopmen met today to decide
whether they would cast their lot
with the six striking unions. The
president of this organization, E.
f. Cradle, agreed with the Labor
Board Friday to "use his infiu-
ence" to prevent strike. Last
night, hwover, he said "if the
