Georgia Farmers Will
Have Fine Opportunity
To Swat Boil Weevil
Unusually Early Crop Offers Oppor-
tunity to Planters to Plow I'm
der Cotton Stalks.

Due to the dry weather in the Pied
mont section the cotton crop is un-
usually early. This offers an excellent
opportunity for the farmer to swat"
the boil weevil by blowing under or
otherwise destroying the cotton stalks,
according to r. p. Bledsoe, agrono-
mist of the state experiment station.
The dry, hot weather has greatly de-
creased the weevils in the fields and
very few are Matching out.
ii the cotton stalks are destroyed
right after the cotton is picked there
will be almost two months before the
weevil ordinarily goes into winter
quarters, during which time he will be
without food If the stalks are left
in the fields it is likely that fall rains
will start the plants to squaring again
and large brood Of weevils will hatch
out before winter comes. These Will
go into winter quarters and large per
cent will emerge next spring.
Flowing under the stalks is the most
satisfactory way of destroying them
This stops the feeding and breeding
OF weevils at once, destroys many Of
the live weevils and places the cotton
stalks under the ground where they
will furnish food for the next year
crop. ii it is not possible to pillow, the
next best method is to rip the stalks
up but they should not be burned, as
that destroys valuable plant food fol
next years crop.

ST BILL COSTS NATION
A MILLION A YEAR
GOVERNMENT MAKES PLEA
FOR WIDER USE OF TWO
AND FIVE DOLLAR BILLS

WASHINGTON, d. CA saving
OF 81 100000 a year to the government
could be brought about if people
would use the two and five dollar bills
more extensively, says the United
States bureau of efficiency in continu-
ing its campaign against the excessive
use of the one dollar bill.
"The one dollar bill has it's place
in the currency scheme, but as a re-
suit of mere habit it has come to be
used out of that place" says the bu-
reau. THE public is using 81 bills
where it should use fves and tens.
This is causing the bulk of paper mon
ey in banks and public establishments
to become too great. Wherever it
is necessary to count almost any sum
of money the task is greater, because
there are so many small bills IN the
package.
1t is obvious that it would take more
time to count $1,000 in ST bills than it
would in $40 bills.
1t is obvious also that it will cost
the government more to keep $1,000
in circulation in 81 bills than in $40
bills. The excessive use of 81 bills
places a direct tax burden on the tax
payers. A change of habit in this re-
spect would probably save the tax
payer $1,OO0,OO0,000 year in printing
at its money shop.
"A further act of unwisdom on the
part of the public is the avoidance of
the s. bill based on a mere supersti-
tious idea coming down from the gam
bling days. that it was unlucky. This
superstition should be brushed aside
in the interest of money efficiency and
the 81 bill should be given its proper
place in currency.

SAYS MILK IS MENTIONED 40
TIMES IN THE SCRIPTURES
President of National Dairy Council
Calls Attention to Fact

That the ancients had clear idea
of the value Of milk, even though they
were ignorant Of its vitamin content,
is contended by NJ ID. Mum, presi-
dent OF the National Dairy Council,
who cites the fact that milk is mention
ed 40 times in the Bible in his support.
Butter and cheese are mentioned
several times from Genesis to Reeve
lations, he says, and the cow very
frequently.
For instance" says Mr.. Mum, lin
Samuel 17:18 we read, And Jesse
said unto David, his son-bring these
ten cheeses unto the captain OF their
thousand, and look how thy bretheren
fare. In Genesis 1873 we read: And
he (Abraham's servanD took butter
and milk and set it before them'-and
while it is not probable that the but
ter referred to was butter in the sense
in which we understand il today, be-
cause of the climatic conditions OF
Palestine, it does show that the people
of that day knew and appreciated the
value Of milk and milk products tor
human consumption.

FINDS WOMEN WORK

VEST DAYS IN CANADA

A writer of the London Daily Mail,
describing woman's farm life in Cana
da. saws they work long hours. "Wo-
men play more than nominal part IN
farming in Canada" says this writer
During a midsummer cycling tour in
Ontario | stopped at between twenty
and thirty farm houses, gaining a
knowledge of farm life impossible to
obtain in books or periodicals.
students of life need contact with
conditions. Hearsay stimulates, but
real knowledge comes with experience
So I am qualified to speak OF a class
of women who get their livelihood out
Of the soil, either as wives or on their
own
| found in every farm house that no
matter how early | was up that the
women were always the first up, even
at S a. m. | was the last to remain in
bed, except in one or two instances
where age or illness gave a special IL
cense. Once | set my alarm clock at
AS with the same result, and even
when | arose at 400 o'clock in Ontario
| found the family up and preparing
breakfast. Speaking broadly, the farm
women of Canada rise at daybreak the
year round In the summer they re-
tire at dusk before candles are neces-
sary to light the way to bed. On the
big farms of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta I found that women lead
a different life Quite few own their
farms out there now and run them like
the men by taking charge.

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS SAY NO

Wheat boot1egging in the United
States is on the decline, customs OF
ficias say, after not having received a
single complaint of illicit traffic in
grain in the last several months
A year ago complaints of this kind

This wheat is particularly desirable
for certain kinds of milling. Millions
Of bushels of it are shipped into this
country annually under bond for trans
port through the states to foreign
countries.
Substitute Soft Wheat.
The smugglers are those who VIC
late the bond, substituting certain
percentage of American soft wheat for
the Canadian product and exporting
the mixture as hard wheat.
In this way they obtain Canadian
wheat duty free and are known in the
grain trade as bootleggers.

May Reduce Services on Sank
Centre Cass Lake Branch
One Coach Now Used on "K" Line
Combination Train May Follow
Buses Responsible

The Great Northern Railway is re-
ducing the service on the Sank Cen
tre-Cass Lake branch, or "K" line.
At present the passenger train carries
only one coach, and it is generally
expected that the service may be still
further crippled by making one COM
bination freight-passenger train each
way each day, handle the business.
Encroachment of the bus lines on the
company's local business on this
branch is said to be responsible for
this change. The following from
the Long Prairie Leader will be of in
terest:
"Rumor has it that tn local pas
senger/ train on this branch of the
Great Northern is to be changed in
the near future to a combination of
freight and passenger train.
Beginning last Friday the first
class passenger coach was taken off
and now the train is operated with
but one coach for passengers. There
is no smoker.
"Officials went north a few days
ago to investigate whether or not
taking off the regular passenger and
substituting the combination train
would interfere too seriously with the
mail service. On the decision rests
to some extent the decision to make
the change.
"Without doubt some such change
is certain to come, and it is matter
of regret that it has to come. The
passenger traffic on the branch has
fallen off to such an extent that the
train regularly operates at loss.
Some days there are not enough pas
sengers aboard to pay the salary of
the conductor to say nothing of the
operating expenses of the rest of the
train. Bus competition, together with
the use of private automobiles, is
putting the local railroad trains out
of business. Through trains have not
been affected very much but every
where local trains have been serious
ly affected.
cit will seem strange to have the
local trains on the branch operating
once more as combination trains as
those were the kind of trains that
were run on the branch when it was
first built some forty-fve years ago.
There was a time when citizens and
business men along the line fondly
hoped for not only the maintenance
Of the present trains, but these addi-
ton of others. However, due to the
changed transportation conditions
such improvements will never be
made, but, on the other hand, the
tracks will be used more and more
for freight traffic only and gradually
the passenger coaches will be taken
off altogether.
