KILL THE 1924 wEEvILs IN 1928

Is it worth while to destroy the
cotton boil weevil's natural food in
the early fall? The matter is worth
considering at this time. This is
taken from the Vidalia Advance:
BY the first of October there will
be no cotton to be picked in South
Georgia, says the 0cilla Star. There
is nothing to prevent the destruction
of the cotton stalks by that time or
immediately thereafter. If the stalks
are destroyed in any particular field
early, the weevils will have to leave
that field in search of food. If this
destruction is general, there will be
but few weevils alive to find their
way into winter quarters, and these
will be in a weakened condition, in
no state to endure the cold of win
ter.
Not going to plant cotton next
year? Yes you are. You may not
think so now, but you are. You
ought to plant some cotton. We can
make good on a limited acreage of
cotton on each farm, we'll fortified
we'll cultivated and well poisoned.
OF course you are going to plant cot
ton. You always have planted it
and you always viii plant it. SO
just as well make conditions just as
favorable for the 1924 crop as pos
sible. And nothing you can do will
be as effective as getting rid of
every growing cotton stalk long be-
fore frost.
Can't we have countrywide stalk
destroying campaign put on and car
ried out before October Is?

Stone IS not trading on the best
thing In life as q mere publicity stunt.
The fact is that he is surprised that
so much publicity has been given to
his recent confession.
The great American public believes
IN Fred Stone. He always has had
the belief that the stage and the
pulpit could work hand in hand for
accomplishing better things.
Fred Stone IS more fortunate in
his judgment than some others. He
starts lettering stage conditions by
starting with himself. He publicaIIv
makes a religious declaration. The
fact that he made such a step i'm

the world

touch upon microscopic part of
what he has done.
When Peary disappeared up over
the Greenland ice cap in 1892. no one
knew how far northward the conti-
nent of Greenland extended. Many
believed to the very pole itself and
even on across the top of the world
nearly to the shores of Siberia. When
he returned months later he had de-
fined the limits and the altitude of the
great Greenland continental ice cap

Yard and Pound.

THE British standards OF weight
and measure. the pound and the
yard. respectively, are made the sub
jects Of an interesting ceremony
which, every twenty years. occurs at
the Palace OF Westminster.
Immured in the wall seat of the
blank window, on the right side of
the second landing OF the public
staircase leading from the lower
waiting hall Of the house Of commons
up to the committee rooms, are the
parliamentary copies Of the imperial
standards of weight and measure.
They were deposited in this place in
the year 1858, soon after the new pal
ace of Westminster had been opened.
They consist Of the standard yard

tin and zinc. and the standard pound

are preserved in the standards de-

the several points OF support. while

The pound is wrapped in filter paper
