public schools, the campaign was
well outlined and the sale went

charge. Pupils from the Summer

cluded a large section of the town
with Fairbanks village inclusive,
reported sales amounting to $75.

BURKE FIRM
Plan Extensive Addition
To Increase Present
Output

The Virgins Machine and Manu-
featuring Co., at Burke is planning
extensive additions to its plant.
Few people outside Of the immedi-
ate vicinity rec lie the thriving ad-
vancement which has been made
by this live enterprise.
The Virgins company makes
special attachments, and tools used
on turret lathes. 1t also builds a
big line of door hangers, convey
ors and grinding machines. Ma
chine rebuilding is another avenue
of endeevor in which the Virgins
firm specialjzes as well as in gener-
al contract machine work.
1t is expected that the contem-
plated addition when completed
will warrant the employment of ap-
prOximately SO men.
In 1916 the original company
was organized at Syracuse, N. Y.
1t was then known as the A. V.
Virgins Co, 1t conducted the
manufacture Of turTet lathe spec
ialtics and a general line of mill
supplies. The company operated
in this manner until 1921 when MI.
Virgins took over the manufacture
ing end and moved it to Burke On
May IS, 1921 there was organized
the Virgins Machine and Manu-
factaling Co., which became incor-
porated on December II, 1921.
The plan at that time was to is
sue only enough stock to insure
successful operation The unusu-
al increase in business has made it
imperative to build an addition to
the plant. This has been the
reason for the issuance of more
stock.

The company from Syracuse 10

MIR. SMITH RAPIDLY
RECOVERING FROM
SERIOUS OPERATION

Our respected fellow citizen,
Mr.. Nathaniel Smith, a Confeder-
ate Veteran. who has passed his
84th year, is rapidly recovering
from an operation performed on
him bv DIR. -Shands, at the Jackson
Sanatorium a few weeks ago.
Mr.. Smith, when asked by DR..
Stands why he had not had the
operation before, he having slf-
fered for 65 years, replied that
he had not had time. He is re-
covering nicely and is able to be
out again.
Mr.. Smith volunteered i'm New
Orleans in 1861. He was serious
ly wounded in Virginia, and re
mained in the hospital from its
effects for over two years. He
rejoined the command at Peters
burg, and was on the retreat TO
Appomatox, but by reason Of Eis
weakened condition failed to
reach his destination, by surrea-
dering about that time.
Although a native of the State
of Maine, he returned to the
South after the war, married a
Southern girl, Miss Halle Bob
bitt, andi settled in Rankin County,
where he has been a prosperous
farmer since. He and Mrs. Smith
are now making their home with
their son and daughter Mr.. and
Mrs. HI. G. Washburn, in this city.

CALM ATMOSPHERE MOST
IMPORTANT WHEN USING
POISON FOR BOIL WEEVIL

A calm atmosphere is the most
important thing to be considered
wnen applying calcium arsenate
t2 cotton to control the boil
weevil-more important than dew
or other moisture on the cotton
plalts. This statement is made
by the specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
who, at the Delta Laboratory at
Tallulah. La, worked out the cal
ciunn arsenata system OF control.
Success depends, they point out,
on getting all the plant surfaces
thoroughly covered with the fine
particles of poison duct. The dust
comes out of the machine in a
cloud and hangs in the air for
some time before settling. If the
wind blows during this time,
much of it never settles where it
is wanted but drifts beyond the
cotton to other crops or to weed
patches or is dissipated by the
wind. 1t is not always possible,
of course, 10 get perfectly calm
atmosphere at the time the dust
ing must be done, but the
specialists urge that the absence
Of wind be made a primary COM
3ideTation.

COUNTY AGENT ANSWERS
QUESTIONS ON HOW LATE
COTTON GAN Be PLOWED

How deep and how late should
cot .on be cultivated?-
Look where the rains have
washed away the soil, or dig down
carefully between the cotton rows
and you will find the soil filled
with little cotton roots. These
are the feeding parts of the cot
ton plants, and when they are
broken the cotton is bound to SUI
fer. OF course, even with the
shallower cultivation, some roots
must be broken; but the aim
should be to break just as few
roots as possible and at the same
time do good job of cultivation.
In doing this the heel sweep is
good tool to use the size depend
ing on the size of the cotton. Use
a short scooter or small shovel
plow in front Of the sweep; it is
extremely important tha t this
plow in front be very short, other
wise the roots will be badly brok-
en- up. the cotton stunted and the
yield cut.
How late should cotton be cul-
tivated under boil weevil con-
ditions? There can be no definite
answer to. this question, because
rational cultivation, after all,
consists largely in meeting vary
ino field conditions as they arise
during The season, and different
farms in different localities may
present widely divergent com
ditions. In other words, while it
is always safe to say cotton
should be cultivated shallow and
moderately frequently, the ques-
ticn -f how and when to use
nal icular tool must be left main
lv to ti..9 good Judgment of the
farmer concerned.
Where the weevil on an average
gets all squares set after August
1st. as is the case in this territory
it is doubtful if anything is to
be gained in so far as yield is
concerned, by cultivatino later
than July Is or goth, however,
we are coming to see more and
more that the best time to fight
grass and weeds Is IN July anu
August, by keeping them from
making seed. There is no question
but THAT we allow far too much
grass to make seed, re-infesting
the land for another year, when
one or two late CIVILIZATIONS would
prevent most of the trouble.
We would say, then. that cotton
should be cultivated late enough
to keep grass and weeds from
making seed. If the land is al,
ready free of grass and weeds and
the object of cultivation is pri-
marilv the conservation r. moist
IRE, then we would say that cul,,
tivation should continue, until
nrobably week. or ten days OF
average, stops the setting OF all
fruit.

BOIL WEEVHS WORK IN
WET WEATHER-SO MUST
THE COTTON PLANTER

If you expect to whip the boil
weevil in a fair fight. you have
got to show as much energy as
he does-which means that
though the operation may be both
difficult and unpleasant, poison
ing must be done even when the
plants are wet and the ground
muddy, so says the United States
Department of Agriculture with
regard to poisoning The Weevil
with calcium arsenate. The De-
partment has found that, during
the critical stage, the poisoning
should be done at intervals OF
about, four days. Two or three
applications, made in good
weather, may have got the weevll
under control. Then there comes
a rainy spell and the farmer lets
the time for poisoning pass while
he waits for fair weather But
that is exactly the time when the
weevil is busiest. The numbers
are likely to increase SO rapidly
that the control already gained
is lost. In that event, the Weevll
inflidts about as much damage
as if no poisoning had been done
and the farmer loses. in addition,
what he has spent in poisoning
operations. The only way to pre-
vent that sort of result is to let
wet weather interfere as little as
possible with POISONING opera
tions.
The Department realizes, OF
course, that poisoning cannot be
dome in pouring rain but the
farmer, the specialists urge,
should take advantage of the
earliest opportunity to get back
into the field after the rain, that
he should make every effort TO
get the cotton again busted regu-
Isrlv, even though fair weather
does not seem certain. He can
afford. they say, to put on poison
even in unsettled weather. 1t
may be washed off again shortly
but, ON the other hand, the
weather, even when it looks most
threatening, may stay fair long
enough to allow weevil control to
operate. Every farmer, it IS point
ed out, must expect to lose some
poison by rain but the operation
is sufficiently profitable to justify

dsr the direction of DR.. l. G.

Mir. Moore was an employee of the

fdraher consideration it was de-
termined hat he was an employee

ing done in this county than IN
any previous year. and II the
present program is strictly ad-
hered to, it is altogether probable
that this will be our last year OF
