serve district, composed of Georgia
Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Mississ-
ippi and Louisiana, have been great
ly helped in financial way by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. thru
its member banks, was the statement
made here today by officials of the
institution.
According to officials, the greatest
nu1nber<of notes held by the federal
bank here are notes given by farmers
to its member banks scattered thru
out the six states in this district and
many of them are given by farmers
who live in Georgia.
These notes, it was stated, were Civ
en- for money by the farmers with
which to plant their crops, to buy
stock with which to cultivate their
crops, to pay for the employment OF
hands that are needed to cultivate the
crops and gather them at maturity:
and in many ways aid the farmer in
furnishing the funds with which he is
enabled to improve and care for his
crop at maturity.

M RS. N. L. SMITH,
CONVENTION DELEGATE
TYPICAL OF PROGRESS

" eCttl 4 iN LAlldIld
Among the Georgia women whc
will represent their state as delegates
to the national Democratic conven
ton in New York City next month
none will more effectively typify
progressive principles in civic and
material affairs than Mrs. Nora
Lawrence Smith, OF Ashburn, Ga, a
member OF the third district delega-
ton to the convention.
AS managing ~editor of the Wire
grass Farmer, the influential weekly
newspaper OF which her father, Joe
Lawrence, veteran newspaper man,
is publisher, Mrs Smith has had a
large part i'll the development of
progressive ideas in agricultural af-
fairs in South Georgia The famous
Turner county plan" of diversified
farming, which lays particular en-
phasis on the Cow, hog and hen"
system is to considerable degree
the product Of her thought and eff
ort. She has been consistent advo-
cate of the Turner county plan"
and in cooperation with the late Mr..
George Belts, president of the Geor-
gia association, did much to promote
the general adoption OF the plan
throughout the state.
Mrs. Smith : is trustee of the
second district A. & M. school and is
active in civic affairs, also partici-
pating in the activities of the Geor-
gia Press Association.
Eight years ago her father, Mr..
Lawrence, was delegate to the ma
tional Democratic convention at St.
Louis, and advocated the woman suf-
frage resolution, which failed Of pas
sage at that time. Now, in 1924 his
daughter is to represent her state at
the quadriennial gathering of Demo-
cratic leaders Of the nation.

One Of the most interesting feat.
ures of boil weevi1 control to the cot.
ton farmer is the "cost and profit"
of applying measures Referring to
the use of calcium arsenate one ex,
pert has declared that, ut does not
cost to dust-it does cost not to dust"
A comparison of three methods OF
poisoning in an average of all tests
conducted in the South in 1923 has
been made and these figures show
conclusively that it pays to use cal
cium arsenate in dust form. The
comparison follows:
Florida Method: Untreated check,
plats averaged yield per acre OF
1887 pounds of seed cotton; treated
plats average 514.3 pounds, gain of
1855 pounds at "a cost of $5.S2 an acre
with profit of $7.94.
Sweetened Poisons: Untreated
chsck-plats averaged a yield of 66S
pounds per acre, while treated plats
averaged 769 pounds, a gain of 101
pounds at cost Of $10.17 an acre and
a profit Of 1924.
Calcium Arsenate in Dust Form:
Unteated checks averaged yield OF
1866 pounds per acre, and untreated
plats averaged 1898 pounds, a gain
of 1927 pounds at cost Of STA
and profit of $25.56.
Thus, it is shown that application
Of calcium arsenate in dust form in,
creases the yield, lowers the cost and
increases the profit. Poisoning by
this method should be even more prot.
table this year under average weather
conditions, as the price of calcium
arsenate is somewhat lower and prob.
ably will not go higher provided
farmers buy their supply early in the
season.
Dusting with calcium arsenate
should be applied with machines built
especially for busting cotton and the
applications made only when the all
is calm and the plants are moist. This
usually means making only night ap
| plications. From five to seven pounds
| OF calcium arsenate should be used
| to the acre.
There should be an interval of foul
! or five days between applications un
less heavy rain follows one appli
cation. The cotton should be thor
oughly busted until the weevils arr
under control This usually meanl
about three applications. Applica
tions should be renewed wnep tn,
iufestation again reaches 10 to IL pc
cent

control measures may be obtained
