MAKE STUMP SURVEY
IN LAURENS COUNTY

DUBLIN, Sept. ia survey of
Laurens county and for a radius of
90 or 60 miles, is to be made by the
chamber of commerce, aided by the
Wnghtsviile and Tennille railroad,
to ascertain how many stumps there
are IN the fields in this section, also
the available dead pine wood and
other data along this line. The in
formation is asked by government
men who are interested in utiliza-
ton of the products now going to
waste.
Every land district is to be listed
IN this survey and as near as posi-
Bile the number of cords of stump
timber on each acre. Stumps are cal
culated at 8 to the cord and with
this as a basis the land owner is
asked to count given area, then
get fair average of the number on
the entire field. Stumps will not be
the only forest product counted, but
the sawdust and waste from MANY
sawmills will be counted.

TO SPEND HUGE SUM
IN ERECTION OF NEW
COTTON MILLS IN GA.
Plans Drawn for Three Big Tex

Others Contemplated
THREAD MILL AT DALTON
Million Dollar Plant Will Be
Used Exclusively to Manufac-
ture Thread

ATLANTA. Sept. ia huge
sum, approximating ten million dol
lars viii be spent in the erection of
cotton mills in Georgia within the
next few months by northern and
eastern capitalists Plans for three
big new mills to be located at Dal-
ton, Hogansville and Monroe have
already been drawn and announce
ment of the erection of these was
authorized today.
The mill to be built at Dalton will
be devoted to the manufacture OF
thread, it being the first of its kind
to be. erected in the cotton growing
states. The mill will cost complete
S1,00o,000 and the structure will be
so designed as to permit the addition
of four other units of the same size
as the original structure.
1t will be erected by the Ameri-
can Thread Company, a New Eng
land concern, on coo acres recently
purchased near Dalton. There will
be a large mill village of model
houses and the plant itself will not
only be immense but also of great
architectural beauty.
The Stark Mills will erect the
plant to be built at Hogansvilfe and
which will manufacture fabric and
cords for use in automobile tires.
This plant will cost 100000 10
complete, and will have $4,000 spin
dies, being located upon a 2O0-acre
tract, and housed in a three-story
building of reinforced concrete. A
hundred and thirty model homes will
be erected by the company to house
employees Of the mill.
At Monroe, the Walton Mills is
virtually doubling its capacity with
an addition which will cost, includ-
ing equipment, something like ST.
100000 Ten thousand spindles will
be added and 80 cottages for opera
tives will be erected. This mill will
manufacture twills for shoe Innings.
etc.
The U. S. F'inihsing Company, Of

Many farmers, 1t was brought out, now
depend entirely on the cotton crop,
and buy the products named for their
own tables.
More Economical Credit
At the conference at Ithaca, N. Y,
those participating felt that a better
understanding between farmers and
bankers would be beneficial to both.
At present a large amount of the cred
1t used by farmers Is In the form OF
mercantile credit, which, 1t was point.
ed out, is much more expensive for
them than bank credit 1t was felt that
campaign of education Is needed to
acquaint farmers with banking facili.
ties. The conference, therefore, rec.
commended that the Agricultural Com.
mittee of the State Bankers Associa.
ton, the agricultural college and rep.
resentatives of the Farm Bureau and
the State Grange get together for the
purpose of working out programs and
plans for further meetings to be held
in the various counties of the state.
At conference held at Amherst,
Massachusetts, there were representa-.
tiVes from Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con.
necticut. Emphasis was placed on the
importance of the Boys and Girls
Club work. The New England confer.
ence also felt that the importance OF
bank credit over mercantile credit
should be stressed. A resolution was
adopted and is being sent to agricul
tural committees in each State urging
that they get in touch with their agri
cultural colleges and map out a pro.
gram for educating the farmer in re.
gard to the importance and the econo.
my of bank credit over mercantile
credit.
The emphasis on this resolution
came not SO much from the bankers
present as 1t did from the representa-.
tives of the agricultural colleges and
the farmers.

citation agreed to turn over the
fair grounds for that purpose.
The occasion will be educational
in character and will be one of the
biggest events of its kind ever put
on in this section. H. Mcdowell
was named chairman of a commit
tee of seven which will have com
plete charge of the undertaking.
Mr.. Mcdowell is to name the other
members of the committee.
The exact dates have not been

IN uV0 Otner StaLeS-CduIOTnld
Washington, Oregon, IdaAD, and Utah
it was agreed at subsequent confer
ences that bankers agricultural COM
mtttees would meet at the state agri-
cultural colleges and, in cooperation
with the college officials, work out a
program that they would recommend
to the banks.
The Texas Plan
It was at the Texas conference that
1t was developed that the officials Of
both the bankers association and Of
the state college felt the big problem
for that state was the establishment
Of system OF collective, orderly mar
keting. In order to bring this prob
lem effectively before the farmers and
the bankers it was agreed to hold a
banker-farmer meeting in December
Efforts will be made to get from 200
to $50 bankers TO attend, each banker
to bring with him several representa-
tive farmers CT his community. The
program and demonstration will eD-
phasize the need Of meeting the mar
keting problem and point ways to a
satisfactory solution.
TT Athens, Georgia, the conference
recommended that the State Bankers
Association take steps to raise q fund
for assisting deserving students to
complete college course in agri-
culture or home economies. This
conferences, recognizing the valuable
work being done by county agricul-
tural and home demonstration agents,
also went on record as favoring the
employment of agents in each county.
At the Raleigh, North Carolina, con-
ference The pressing problem, in addi-
tion % loans for worthy students, was
held to De encouragement Of the farm
er 10 practice greater crop diversified
tiou. The conferees felt that the first
big step was to get farmers at least
to pro1lca sufficient vegetables, fruit,
milk, meat and poultry to live on.

We arc desperately afraid that
some one at the ball will mistake this
delicately pink-robed maiden for a
strawberry ice, and try to capture her
Tor that little happer who is sitting
on the fourth stair. However, we
are quite sure that she will be equally
able to freeze the rash intruder with
a glance, or melt becomingly, if he
IS worth the effort.
Be that as it may, this evening
robe Of family strawberry colored
crepe Chenettc, beaded with crystal,
is something almost too perfect to
endure. The observant one will no.
tice that it is slim and straight and
ciingy and is slightly drawn across
the hips, to achieve the effect of
draping. Long crystal beads are very
much in favor in Paris, according to
Henri Creange. In this dress they
are arranged in graceful, dropping
points, to further carry out the icicle
idea.
A scarf of sheerest, gossamer
white crepe is draped over the blush
ing slip, the effect being-according
to whether one is aesthetic or merely
practical-like Fujiyama touched by
rosy fingered dawn, or a strawberry
aundae with whipped cream.
The persistence of the handker-
chief in our scheme of decoration is
;.gain shown in the draping over the
chouldcr Our cool and cruel ice
maiden further adds to her charm
by six arm bracelets, five of white
jade and the sixth of coral, match
ing the coral buckle on the shoulder,
and the coral satin slippers. Ineyit-
ably there are coral ear drops.

DESTROY ALL STALKS
EARLY SAYS MARSHALL
County Agent Advises Farmets
to Get These Out OF Way Be-
fore First FROST

Farmers should destroy cotton
stalks three weeks before frost, or
earlier if possible, George 0. Mar
shall, county farm demonstration
agent, said today. This does not
mean necessarily to turn under the
stalk but to kill the stalk by ripping
it up and it means to kill all of
the stalks in the field. If part of
the stalks are left green, the wee
will will have something to feed
upon and propagate.
Weevils will not live over 20 to
Is days without food before frost,
continued Mr.. Marshall, and if the
stalks are destroyed, the grown
weevil in the field at that time will
either starve before frost or 90 to
other fields to hunt cotton or go
into winter quarters. The larvae
in the young bolls will then hatch
but will be almost sure not to be
able to live through winter with
out having some food before going
into winter quarters. By early de-
struction of stalks the weevils are
forced into winter quarters early,
and the death rate is much higher
on account of staying in hiberna
ton a long period of time. This
will give a low percentage of wee
wills to live through the winter and
come out to attack the 1924 crop.
The earlier the weevil is forced in
to winter quarters, the earlier he
will appear in the spring OH the
young cotton which will simplify
tn work of poisoning.
From experiments conducted
throughout the cotton belt for a
number of years the following
method seems to be the simplest,
least expensive, and most effec-
tive:
Begin poisoning with calcium
arsenate, molasses and water mix
ture Immediately before the
squares are FORMED. Apply this
application about three times as the
first squares are forming. By ear
ly destruction Of stalks most of the
weevils should be out of hiberna-
ton by this time and sufficient
control might be secured by this
poisoning. However, if weevils APP
pear later in the cotton, then use
nothing but dry calcium arsenate.
II the early work with the molasses
can be done thoroughly,
most of the poisoning will be over
and it can be done at that stage
of the cotton with this homemade
more cheaply than with
else. If the farmers of
Sumter county will destroy their
cotton stalks three weeks before
frost, poison early with the home
made mixture, and where neces-
sary follow with dry calcium ar
senate for large cotton, combined
with proper cultural methods, there
is absolutely no doubt but that
Sumter county can make a profit
able yield of cotton next year, even
though the weather conditions are
not good.

METHODIsTS PLAN REVEALS

SAVANNAH, Sept. 19-Employ-
ment of five evangelista to conduct
intensive evangelistic services in
south Georgia was decided upon at
recent meeting of the board of
missions of the South Georgia Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. The board plans TO
recommend its decision at the annu-

recommendation is adopted, the
evangelists will devote all their
time to holding revivals, strength
ening the weaker churches and
working in places where the church
is not now established.
