Irwin county will have the honor
this year to furnish the candidate for
senatorial honors for this district, it
being it's time under the rotation plan
adopted six years ago, when Irwin

coded first place to that county. Ben
Hill county furnished the candidate
two years. ago, all of the three counties
participating in the primary, accord
ing to rules adopted by the democrat
ic executive committee of the senator
ial district. The same procedure will
of course be followed this year, as it
is the, accepted rule of this district, the
senator being a representative for all
three counties.
Two candidates have already an
nounced for this office from Irwin
county, being Judge ]. B. Clements,
of Irwinville, formerly senator for
this district and D. J. Henderson, ST.,
of near Waterloo, in Irwin. There is
also some indication that VIM. G.
Lewis. Of Osierfieid may offer for
this office. -.

CHAMBER COMMERCE
OPENS WEEVIL FIGHT.
To Furnish Twelve Farmers With
calcium Arsenate and Machines

Active steps were taken Friday
night by the Chamber of Commerce
to give the boil weevil a decidedly
warm reception on at least twelve ex-
per1mental farms in the county, when
he awakes from his winter sleep this
spring.
Under the direction of county agent
L. t. Owens, the organization will
undertake to furnish twelve farmers in
twelve districts Of the county with cal
cium arsenate and hand machine to
apply it; the poison and the busting
machines to be purchased by fund
raised by the Chamber of Commerce
among its members and furnished free
to the farmers who will agree to plant
tive acres under the direction of Mr.
Owens. 1t is expected to thoroughly
demonstrate the value of poison as a
weapon against the boil weevil infes-
tation and thus convert our farmers
to the best methods discovered by the
Federal Department of Agriculture in
the fight against the pest
About $500 will be required for this
experiment and the full amount was
raised in a short time by the Finance
committee of the organization.
( The following farmers have been Sc
lected to put on five acre boil weevil
poisoning demonstrations:

CONGRESS BADLY
OVERLOADED
Has Sufficient Work to Keep 1t Busy
Until September Is; Slow Progress

WASHINGTON, D. C. March e
administration leaders have
abandoned hopes of adjourning con-
gress before Sept. 18th. Two reasons
are ascribed for the upset of original
plans to quit June LIST.
Slow progress made with legislation
IN the house under the revised rules
forced by the progressive-democratic
coalition at the opening of the session,
is one of the reasons.
Another reason given is the use of
the senate as 'broadcasting station"
for campaign speeches with recent
scandals as the keynote.
Recess in June
A recess during June to enable con-
gressmen to attend the national politi-
cal conventions at Cleveland and New
York City, with resumption of the
grond on July 9TH is included in the
revised plans of republicans.
With three months of work behind
it, congress has not passed single
major bill. All the appropriation bills,
the tax reduction BILL immigration,
Muscle Shoals legislation, the bonus,
and long list of important farm re-
lief measures are still on the lepisla-
tive program.

Local Comment On
Redpath Chautauqua
Benefits of A Chautauoua

1t is only natural for us to enjoy
being entertained. Then why not be
entertained by high class entertainers
Every Chautauqua l have ever at
tended helps inspire me to better
things and am sure our citizens by at
tending next weeks programs will be
benefited, and so we'll pleased it will
be an easy matter to- finance another
Chautauqua.
J. H. MAYES, Mayor
-oo-
"Th4 program offered by the Red
path Ghautauqua this year is consid-
cred one of the best they have ever
had on any circuit. 1t consists of al
most anything in the realm of decent,
uplifting and upbuilding entertainment
from magic to drama and from chill
dren's stories to the best lectures.
They are offering something worth
while for the whole town, for the
children, the young folks, the old peo-
pie and everybody in between.
We should make the Chautauqua an
institution in Fitzgerald coming every
year as surely and consistently as the
spring time appears, for in no other
way can we provide so much of the
best talent available for this kind OF
work.
Let's go and enjoy for the week the
most instructive and constructive en-
tertainment ever offered us.
w. N. SMITH, Pres. Kiwanis Club
81 have just looked over the very
attractive program for the Redpath
Chautauqua which they will present to
our people during their stay from Mar.
3lst to April 9TH, and if they did not
present (ny of this program except
the great sparkling comedy "Give and
Take" and the Scene from Gretchen
of Holland it would be worth full
price season ticket to see either OF
these plays. I am merely saying this
trusting that a goodly number of our
people will avail themselves of the OPP
Dortunity which they will have present
ed them during the Redpath Chautau-
qua week.

MARKET VANS
COMPARATIVELY SAYS
u. S. DEPARTMENT

ATLANTA Ga, Use of better
production and marketing practices to
meet the potential consumer demand
is being urged upon the sweet pota-
to growers of the south by the United
States department of agriculture, it is
stated in bulletin received here.
Eleven southern states now pro-
duce more than eighty-three per cent
of the total crop, but market less than
thirty per cent of the total car load
shipments, the department points out.
Fully twenty-five per cent of the
Southern crop is lost from freezing,
insects and other causes.
To meet the market demand, it is
essential that producers standardize
and improve their varieties, increase
yields per acre, increase the percent
age of best stock, and keep fields dis
ease free through proper seed selection
the department says. Planters are
advised that only we'll ripened disease
free carefully harvested, potatoes Of
u S. grade number one, should be stor
ed for Shipment or sold to storage
ouse operators.
That part of the crop not suit
able for shipment may be eaten at
home, sold in local markets, fed to
livestock. or utilized in other ways. il
was pointed out. Changing varieties
and acreage with every temporary
change in price or trade preference is
declared to be Improbable. Coopera-
tive plans for the collective grading
storing, curing, advertising and sale
of the products are recommended.
