'CALL CONFERENCE TO
END DISEASE MENACE
Promotion of Public Health 10
Be Theme of Gathering at
Savannah Wednesday

SAVANNAH. Sept. 20--Because
the State Of Georgia's agricultural
and industrial supremacy among
the Southern states has been eclips-
ed one by one. by other common
wealths that have spent enough
money and given the proper atten-
ton to the elimination of prevent
able diseases within their borders,
statewide conference on this Sc
rious situation that has developed
in the former queen of Southern
states haas been called by the Sa-
vannah Board of Trade for Oc-
tober 26 in Savannah to consider
way and means of doing something
definitely and quickly about it.
Malaria, hook worm, typhoid, tu-
beruclosis and other preventable
diseases, particularly in the coastal
and South Georgia counties have
made such inroads that many of
the former have lost twenty per
cent of their population in the past
ten years and in the southern coun-
ties there has been a loss of two
per cent.
Georgia this year has had $780,
600 appropriated by the legislature
with which to fight disease for the
benefit of the public health while
North Carolina with not as a great
a population, has more than three
times that sum.

PROGRAM AGREED ON.

bales of cotton will be produced on
10 acres. This field was poisoned
10 times with dry calcium only.
He cited another farm where an
average Of one bale to every two
acres will be produced this year,
the farm having been efficiently
poisoned during the season. he
cited another farm of equal acre
age next to it which had not been
poisoned and which will not pro-
duce more than one bale to every
eight acres.
In discussing the destruction of
cotton stalks now Mr.. Marshall
said the cutters and mowers were
not satisfactory; that it was best
to rip up the talks and cover them
as far as possible.
Gordon Heys stated that while
he started hopping little late in
the season, he was very sure that
his acreage this year would pro-
duce half a bale to the acre. He
said that early in the season he
picked 10000 weevils on four
acres, thus proving that his farm
was thoroughly infested
Frank Ward, an EXPERT from the
State College Of Agriculture, said
that little work had been done so
far towards the destruction of
stalks, and that in his opinion this
was of most vital Importance. ain
hot weather the weevil cannot live
longer than 20 or 80 days unless
he has the cotton stalks on which
to feed; kill the stalks and you
get the weevils, both at feeding
and breeding places" He also rec
commended the turning under of
stalks as far as possible, but said
that he realized this was very
hard to accomplish, and that in
any evnt the stalks should be cut
close to the ground to prevent re-
budding. He said that in the de-
struction Of the stalks it was nee
essary that it should be a neigh
borhood task; that if one farmer
destroyed stalks and another failed
to do so. the weevils would mere
ly go to the next field and thus
find feeding and breeding places
until cold weather.
Mr.. Ward also recommended the
use of the syrup mixture for ear
ly poisoning, beginning as early as
the squares begin to form and fol-
lowing later in the season with
busting.
Mr.. Ward said that in his inves-
legations he had found that the
home mixtures were just as effec-
tive and decidedly cheaper than
the numerous patented mixtures.
He stated that the picking up of
the squares was very effective but
very costly.
Those called together by the
chamber of commerce and Mr..
Marshall resolved themselves into
a committee pledging both their
time and money towards CARRYING
the proposed program to every
farm, large or small, in Sumter
county.
The committee is composed of
