MUST ORGANIZE,
 FARMERS TOLD
Success Is In Man And Not In Land, Head Of Farm
 Bureau Says

ALEXANDER CITY. Ala, Jan. 16 Especial. )-"If the farmers of Ala. bama and other agricultural states are to obtain the best results from their labOrs, they must organize" said Ed ward A. O'Neal of Florence. president of the Alabama farm bureau. at the annual meeting of the TallapOosa- Coosa county farm bureau, held yester- day in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce of Alexander City.
 A large number of representative farmers of the two counties were in attendance upon the meeting, and they appeared interested. The speaker showed how effective the organization is in the state when the farmers CO., operate in buying and selling. He stated that it is no longer possible for farmers to put their cotton on the mar ket and take such prices for their products as the purchaser is disposed to give, but that they can now name the price themselves.
 In Man, Not Land
 He cited California as a striking ex. ample of organization, showing how that state has succeeded in getting re- suits through cooperative buying and selling. Another thing that he inn pressed upon the farmers was the fact that it is not in the land, but in the man, that success must come to the farmers.
 He said that no community could succeed where it's farmers depended upon the one-cr0p system, but that they must diversity if they expect to get best results. Marketing comparatively can and will bring profit to the farmer, if he will organize. There are only about 25,0OO members of the farm bureau in Alabama today, but the membership is growing rapidly, lie pointed out.
 Court To Convene
 The first term of the circuit court for the Alexander City division of Talla- poosa county will meet the first Mon- day in February. Heretofore only civil cases arising west of the Tallapoosa river in Tallapoosa county have been held in Alexander City, but in the fu- ture both civil and criminal cases aris-

 TREES FOR SAFETY
Thousands Of Nut-Bearing Trees
 Being Protected.

FORT DEPOSIT, Ala, Jan. 1G.-- Special "A pleasing sight to the eye, is the condition of the pecan or chards in and near. Fort Deposit. These orchards consist of thousands of nut bearing trees which have reached a commercial value, and have recently been whitewashpd with a prep aration of lime and arsenate of lead for distance of 10 feet from the ground, this application being made to exterminate insect eggs and fungus growth.
 Use Much Fertilizer
 Judging from the large orders being placed. and the heavy tonnage of com mercial fertilizer arriving. the record for it's use among the farmers here will be broken this year. This increase is due to the fact that the ma jority of the farmers will have marked in crease in. the cotton acreage over last season. r,
 Oat Crop Killed
 Daily reports are being received here from the farmers of different sections of 1.owndes county, that the oat crop was killed or badly damaged by the recent severe cold weather. A estimate places the dam age high. and not over 20 per cent of a crop will be harvested the coming spring. n,

 EASY, SA YS JORDAN
Deep Flowing And Liberal Use Of Fertilizer Is Urged By Expert At Annual Conference Of
 Tuskegee Institute-Liquid Poison Advised

TUSKEGEE, Ala, Jan. 16.-The boil weevil, cotton's greatest enemy. is easily and quickly destroyed if prompt and efficient methods are em- ployed in its early control, Harvie Jordan of St. Matthews, N. G., man. aging director of the boil weevil con- tfol campaign of the American Cotton association, said today in an address before the annual conference of Tus- kegee institute. ! Mir. Jordan made practical sugges- tiOns to students and agriculturists gathered at the conference, stressins deep blowing and a thoroughly pre- pared soil before the seeds are plant cd. He urged use of high grade com mercial fertilizer containing high per- centage of nitrogen and potash and ad- Fy0cated planting of sound seed of a se- lectetl short staple. He told the con- ference that seed should be planted only after the soil had become warm in spring with all dange, of frost and cold nights past.
 Mir. Jordan said the cotton should be chopped as soon as the stand is uJ and growing. He advised the applica- tion of liquid poison with mop bottle, one drop to the bud of the plant, as soon as the cotton is chopped to stand, Weekly application of poison should be made, he continued, to terminate buds if weevil is present, until the cotton is knee high and limbing out. After this stage of growth, power spraying ma chine should be used. or the crop should be dusted with powdered calcium arse nate.
