the April term Of Colquitt Superior
court convenes here court officials
will be confronted by the smallest
docket they have faced since the
old City court was established in

Moultrie bar 1t is expected that
both the civil and criminal dockets
will be threshed out in a week.
whereas as a rule court is in session
here from two weeks to a month.
Interest in the session centers in
the fight being made by Henry Clark
and Mrs. Cynthia McLendon to set
aside the will of r. G. Clark, wealthy
Moultrie bachelor, who died several
months ago. This suit. involving
close to a quarter Of million dollars,
is the largest ever brought before a
local court. Under the terms of the
will Mrs. McLendon, a niece Of the
deceased, was left $1,000, while
Henry Clark a half brother, drew

made" George f. Clark and Mrs
]. T. Monk, brother and sister of R.
G. Clark, were bequeathed the bulk
of the estate.
The contestants assert that Mr..
Clark was not himself mentally when
the will was drawn as the result of
taking narcotis under his physicians
directions for a period of several
weeks before the document was
drawn.

duce more than a half bale to the

sent out by the development service
OF the Southern railway.
Their advice to the farmers is to
Select good land for the cotton
crop, It should be well prepared,
libeEally and intelligently fortified
and cultivated shallowly and rapidly
so as to- give-the cotton plants the
best possible chance. Weevils should
be picked from the buds of the young

picked, early and arrangements
should be made to continue the fight

results will be better"
The cotton crop will require more
attention than in the past, it is stat,
ed, and the Southern experts advise
the farmers against planting more
cotton than they can cultivate prop
erlg
Every crop should be pitched 50
as to insure ample grain and for
age. for live stock and ample food
for the family" they urge. IF these
supplies are produced, we will need
less cotton because most Of this crop
has always gone to pay our bill fol
these Necessities. Also if ample
food and feed crops are planted, tie
cotton acreage win incidentally be
reduced to a point conforming with
the advice of experts regarding cos
ton acreage under boil weevii con-
ditions
"Plan for a cash income from
month to month as nearly as possible
throughout the year. A few milk
cows and the sale Of sour cream viii
admirably fit on most farms. Feel

or feed it to chickens and supple
ment the cream check with sales Of
eggs, broilers and fryers. Avoid
debt for current expenses of farm
and family"
In the preliminary fight against
the weevil, the farmers are urged
to clear all rubbish and brush from
the farm, using fire freely'on hedges
and bitches They are advised
against burning the stubble and
stalks in the fields, however, it be-
ing stated that these will add plant
food to the soil if plowed under.
