A Remedy Must Be Found

from on, the Eufaula Daily Citizen.
 The reduction by the boil waev,, of the southern cotton crop of th;s year to one of the smallest crons raised during the past fifty wears ;s not t only. causing grave concern in. the section where the cotton ;s grown, but it is causing more tna'. usual anxiety throughout the world therefore, the United States pov. ernment is now more than ever ba- lore giving attention to the cotton growing interests and plans for boji weevll control. The cotton of inc southern states has probably had more effect upon the finances and policies of this country and Eurone than any other one crop. The mo nopoly on cotton growing of th;s section caused England to svmna- thize with and almost rccognize inc southern confederacy. There is no estimating the calamity that wouId follow an absolute failure of a cot ton crop. Its effect would be felt throughout. the numerous ,manufac. turing centers.

AVERAGE LIFE INCREASING

 There are ten thousand blows in Covington county. With six acres of cotton to the ploy we would have S6,O00 acres. This acreage properly cultivated and fertilized would show a greater yield than ten thousand acres more if improperly cultivated and with little or no fertilizer used. It is not so much the number of acres as 1t is the proper fertiliza- ton and proper cultivation that produces the best results in farm ing, whether you raise cotton or other farm products.
 Brandon Fitting Himself for Task From the Selma Times-Journal. Governor-elect Brandon does well to take few preliminary courses with Governor Kilby as his mentor and guide in preparation for the se- rlous tasks that are to devolve upon him as the directing head and ad- mInIstrator of the state government. Getting some Closeup views" of the departments at the capitol and of the outside properties and insti- tutions of the state is bound to prove helpful in understanding those interests and in formulating policies for their proper supervision and operation. The old presumption that experience and knowledge are not prerequisite qualifications in the making. of capable and eff cient chief executive has often proved bitter disillusion. A con- scientious governor begins ssto 20 to school, the day of his inaugura- ton and keeps it up until he steps aside for his successor.
