Georgia a Butter
Producing State

Georgia has turned over a new
leaf on the butter question and
has gone in for making her own
butter on a big scale. The state,
which once imported millions of
pounds of butter annually, is
changing to state that is ship
ping butter in large quantities,
according to the state agricul-
tural department.
1t is said that one. Georgia
creamery that made more butter
in January of this year that was
made in the entire state during
the year 1920 is shipping high
scoring butter to six states.
In 1920 Georgia ranked num-
Der As among the 4S states listed
according to the number Of
pounds of butter made in fac
tories. At that time Georgia
was buying annually 10000, 600
pounds of butter from other
states.
Many sections of the state are
today making butter enough in
the local creameries to supply
local needs, besides shipping but
ter to other parts of the state
and to neighboring states.
Georgia creamery men, it was
stated today, are unanimous in
attributing to the disappearance
of the cattle tick a large part of
the program that is being made
in changing the state. But on
the other hand, the dairymen, If
it is pointed out, are learning
better methods. They are learn
ing that while there may be no
adequate market for such pro-
duce as hay, velvet beans and
other food stuffs, yet it pays to
produce these things and turn
them into butter.

The Approaching
Mosquito Season

Senior Sanitary Engineer j.
A. LePrince of the U. S. Public
Health Service who because OF
his long experience fighting
mosquitoes and mosquitoes-born
diseases is as we'll qualified as
any one to speak on this subject,
makes the following comment
and suggestions relative to the
approaching mosquito season in
the South:
1t is pleasing to note the in
creased interest and activity
developing in many places with
regard to mosquito control.
For many years we have been
satisfied with the partial protec-
ton from the mosquito pest o5-
tanned by screening our houses.
But the public are evidently no
longer satisfied to pay fifty mil
lion dollars a year to be driven
behind screens and in many To-
calities they have not only de-
cided that the pestiferous and
disease bearing mosquito must
90. but are actually eliminating
both species. In one southern
state over two hundred commun-
tiles were busy last year with
mosquito elimination.
Last month the propagation
season of the malaria conveying
mosquito began again in the
southern portion of the Gulf
States and within the next sixty
days while the farmers are busy
pl4iting their crops, the mosque
toes will he busy planting mos
quito eggs in such stagnant
water as they can find W thin
fight range Of your home.
In many localities the public
are now ready for mosquito pro-
lection, and in fact, paying for
partial screen protection, but
they do not get together and
discuss their local mosquito pro-
blem and determine just what
it is. Nobody steps to the front
to see that a proper start is made,
What sort of a mosquito pro-
bIem haye you in the community
in which you live? Some small
communities in rural districts are
worrying along with a high sick
rate and discomforts that are
not at all necessary and which
cost more to support than to eli
inmate. Your state Health De-
partmenU has trained mosquito

Coolidge's Friends
To Enter Name in
Alabama Primary

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Friends
of President Coolidge have aban-
doned the plans they had made to
obtain the Alabama delegation to the
Republican national convention by
having w. Aubrey Thomas, of Bir
mingham, run as a candidate for the
presidential nomination in the Re-
publican primary in Alabama. In
stead, it is likely that Mr.. Coolidge's
name will be entered in the primary
of that state.
The plans to have MIR. Thomas run
were made to meet the provision re-
Gently placed in the Alabama primary
law which would give a preference
regardless of the state vote to any
candidate. The national committee
in its call for the Cleveland conven.
ton provided for non-recognition of
any state law which flinders,
abridges or denies" the right of all
candidates to free and open pri-
mary.
With this situation before them,
the friends of Mr.. Coolidge said the
plans originally made had been
abandoned and indicated that the
president would enter the primary to
contest for the delegation with any
other candidates.
The political situation in Oklaho-
ma, which generally is acknowledged
as complex, also was discussed today
by those active in the Coolidge cam
paign. Senator Harreld had a lengthy
conference with the president and
several other leaders saw Secretary
Slemp. Whether any conclusions
were reached was not disclosed.
