Gus Thursday afternoon secured :
Total of 1000 pounds of poultry of
all classes. according to an an
nouncement authorized today by
John Bowen. Seaboard agent, who
is encouraging farmers to brir G
in their chickens and assisting in
building up a poultry industry here.
This total compares favorably with
the tonnage secured by previous
pickup cars and indicates that the
total from the county this Trip
will approximate two tons of poal-
try.
Many farmers who participated
in the sale received a total of ap.
proximately 5000 for their birdb,
the average price paid being so
cents a pound. This average, Mr..
Bowen said today, thought many
farmers received as high as 40
cents, this being the top price of
fered for fryers weighing less than
2 pounds each. For hens, roostsrs
and other classes of fowls varying
prices were paid.
The car left Americas this morn

TALLWORTH ADVISES
NEGROES TO POISON
Effective Argument Used By
Him to Convince Hearers of
Profit Involved
Box Brought By Unknown Mes
senger AS Gift to Chinese
Statesman Explodes

If the landlord and supplp mer-
chant give you meat and meal and
seed and fertilizer, amt it reason
able to think he's going to give you
good advice, too " This is one of
the statements being used by Ebert
Stallworth negro county agent to
drive home to negro farmers OF
Sumter county the necessity of
poisoning early and thoroughly to
control the boil weevil
Stallworth has just completed a
series of meetings in the county
during which he was accompanied
by DR.. R. H. j. DeLoach, eminent
boil weevil control specialist. These
meetings, attended largely by ne
groes, were arranged for the pur-
pose of impressing negro farmers
with the necessity for poisoning and
Ihe surety of the DeLoach method
of weeyil control
To those of his race who believ-
ed that "the Lord put the weevil
here for purpose" and who hesti-
tated to interfere with that pur-
pose Sallworth advanced this argu-
ment: "The Lord put the weevil
here; that's true, but the Lord put
fleas and mice and microbes and
many other insects here and you
don't hesitate about killing these
Then why hesitate about the wee
Wiz"
The thought sought to be con-
veyed by Stallworth is that the wee
vii constitutes one of the problems
put before man to control, and that
the sooner man including the negro
handles the weevil effectively for
the good of the whole community
the better for the negro, who con-
stitutes part of the community.
He is telling negro farmers that
the DeLoach method is a sure one,
and they are believing him, too,
with the present prospect that
more negro. farmers will poison
their fields this year than ever be-
fore and that the work will be done
more thoroughly in every instance,
with consequent increased cotton
yields assured this fall.
