SPEAK ON THE BOIL
WEEVIL PROBLEM
REPRESENTATIVE OF GOV
EMINENT LABORATORY
ADDRESSES FARMERS.

DIR. J. R. H. DeLoach, recently OF
the Georgia Experiment Station. and
Mr.. 7. w. Taylor, of the federal boil
weevil laboratory at Tallulah, La,
who were advertised to speak at the
court house Wednesday, did not have
the crowd expected, owing to down
pour OF ram. About fifty farmers
were present and listened with interest
to the practical knowledge given by
the speakers of their experien c
gained in recent experiments OF cotton
growing under boil Weevil conditions.
There was, however, really very lit
tie brought out that was new to the
planters here, who have studied the
boil weevil from every angle but still
find the little pest about the hardest
proposition they've ever had to fight.
Dr. DeLoach spoke first and talked
along general lines, stressing the i'm
portance of continued production Of
cotton. which he said is the only sure
money crop OF the south; that dlverSl-
fication is all right, but cannot be de-
pended on as money crop. he urged
more intensive methods, the produc-
ton of more cotton per acre and the
use of the more commercial fertilizers
and the employment OF calcium ar
senate for poisoning boil weevils.
Mr.. Taylor spoke principally on cal
cium arsenate, and declared that it was
the only sure remedy that had ever
been devised to kill the weevil He
said that where it had failed the farm.
ers had not used it right. He told OF
many successful experiments that have
been made with the poison. Calcium
arsenate should be used dry, and not
with molasses or anything else, he
said, and should be sprayed, if posi-
Bile, when the plant is covered with
dew. as the weevil gets the poison by
drinking it in the water. He advised
against its use on cotton that will pro-
duce less than half bale to the acre

MISS MARY ANDREWS
VICTIM OF OPEN CRATE
BELOVED WOMAN OF PLEAS
ANT HILL COMMUNITY
MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.

The body of Miss Mary Andrews,
prominent and beloved woman Of
the Pleasant Hill community, was
found Sunday about noon lying on
the hearth in her bedroom, her head
between the andirons, horribly burned
as was her chest and one arm, from
the blazing open fire. She had only a
few moments before left the living
room, where she had been talking
with her nephew and niece, Mr.. and
Mrs. Windsor Allen, who made their
home with her. The physician and
undertaken are of the opinion that
Miss Andrews suffered a stroke of
apoplexy, death being instant This
is borne out by the fact that there were
no indications of a struggle after she
had fallen in the fire. The rocking
chair in which she had been sitting
was quite near the hearth. and it is
supposed that as she rose to reach
for something on the mantel she was
stricken and never had a conscious
moment to make an outcry for help.
Miss Andrews was about seventy
years of age. For many years she and
her sister, Miss Kittie Andrews, had
lived quietly and happily in pretty
home on the DaWson-Americus road,
their large farm being one of the best
in the county. The death of Miss Kit
tie occurred December q, 1920, and
the aged sister never recovered from
the shock of this bereavement.
Miss Mary Andrews was the last
member of her immediate family. She
is survived by several nieces and neph-
ews, among them Mr.. and Mrs. Wind
sor Allen, who lived in her home and
cared for her very tenderly in her de-
Ginning years. The funeral service for
this beloved woman was held Monday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock at Enterprise
Methodist church, where she had long
been faithful and devoted member.
Her pastor, Rev. c. NJ. Infinger, con-
Quoted the impressive funeral service
in the presence of a great concourse
of neighbors and efriends, shocked and
grieved over the tragic circumstances
OF her death.
Miss Andrews was member OF a
prominent family and was gentle,
sweet character who had given her
life in loving service. She was indus
trious and had unusual business abili-
ty, managing her affairs WITH rare
Judgment. The community is sadden-
ed by the passing OF this noble wo-
man, and sincere sympathy is extend
ed the bereaved relatives.

AS an evidence OF the widespread III
