DESTROY ALL TRASH .
| ABOUT COT TON GINS
County Agent Says First, Wee
wills Appear In Vicinity OF
Gnnneries

George Marshall, county agent,
is devoting considerable time to
placing before the farmer the neces-
sity of destroying their gin trash as
soon as they have fir:shed their
ginning for the season.
Mr.. Marshall is working in con-
junction with the National Boil
Weevil Control Association and
through them he has been reformed
of the great help the ginners can
be to the cotton planters by de-
stroying all weevils that collect in
the trash around the gin.
It is frequently noticed, Mr.. Mar
shall says, that the first weevils to
appear in the spring in any district
are in the immediate vicinity of
gins. The infestation spreads
rapidly from these centers. The ex-
PLANTATION is that enormous numbers
of weevils are concentrated It the
gins during the fall. 1t has been
shown by actual experiences that
many of the weevils taken to the
gin along with cotton seed pass
through the cleaning devices and
the gins themselves and are dis
charged alive with tile trash from
the cleaners or the Gins. The
trash is sometimes allowed to ac-
cumulate on the floors but more
often is fed mechanically into bar
rels or boxes. If any one viii ex-
anime such trash at any gin in the
infested territory al this time he
will find large numbers of weevils
crawling about and finding hibera-
ting places.
at is very evident THAT ginners
have an opportunity to take an eff.
fective step against the weevil at
this time. All that is necessary is
to have the gin trash fed into bar
rels or similar containers, cover
them so that the weevils cannot
escape and feed live steam into
the receptacle. 1t is true that the
gin trash is generally eventually
burned, but the common practice
is to allow it to accumulate in con-
siderable quantities and in the
meantime the weevils lcave it and
secrete themselves in and about the
GIN"

WASHINGTON, Nov. l.
.(By Associated Press - The
great American Classic of 1924
is approaching the day of a de-
cision amid a shower of words
and the fog of rival predictions.
In its final stage it has brought
into play all the old and famil-
lar strategems. modernized to
fit an age of radio, movies and
senatorial Investigations. 1t is
laid out on new scale which it
is believed will appeal to more
remote subdivisions Of an ever
growing American electorate.
Besides the entire member.
ship of the House and a Presi-
dent. there are "a Senators to
be chosen Tuesday; enough to
upset the present slender Repub-
lican majority should the tide of
fortune turn to the Democrats.
Governors are to be elected
in "a states; an endless number
of state and county officers are
to be voted on, and in many
states, like Georgia. there are
constitutional amendments or
other local issues before the
voters.
