STARVE OUT THE
BOIL WEEVIL
Is Slogan Adopted for Cotton Crow
ers in South Georgia

"Starve the boil weevil by destroy
ing cotton stalks"
This was the keynote of the con-
ference held in Albany Wednesday
by county farm agents from several
counties in Southwest Georgia, gath
cred here for the purpose of giving
renewed impetus to tina campaign
against the cotton pest and to lay
particular stress upon the necessity
of destroying the stalks left in the
fields, says The Albany Herald.
The meeting was held in the Of
fee of J. Irwin Davis, Fougherty
county farm agent, and was largely
attended and developed great enthu-
siasm in the campaign to keep the
boil weevil on the run in Southwest
Georgia.
Appeal Is Issued
After considerable discussion, it
was agreed to issue the following ap-
peal to "every individual farmer, firm
corporation, land owner and tenant.
"If all growth Of green cotton
stalks is stopped as soon as cotton
can be picked, half the fight against
the 1926 boil weevils will be out.
"Wll you run a boil weevil hatch
cry?
"The man who doesn't destroy his
stalks is running 5 hatchery for boil
weevils and need not be surprised if
he has a lot of undesirable summer
boarders in his fields next year. The
weevils are sure to ock to the fields
where food can be found and will
spend the winter wherever it over
takes them.
"Cut stalks and rip up or turn I'M
der the seubbles.
"It is recommended that the stalks
be cut with a weighted stalk cutter
and turned under. If this Is impram-
tical rip up the stubble, with a one
horse pillow with wing removed) or
middlebuster. The remaining stub
bIes can be removed with a hoe.
ere cent rains add TO danger.
"The dry weather left very few
weevils in the fields, but the recent
rains here caused new groths and
furnish the food supply and breed
ing places for later broods. These
later broods are the ones that live
through the winter and will provide
the weevil crop in the spring Of 1926.
It is desirable to stop the growth of
cotton stalks for two reason. The
weevil's food supply will be imme-
diately cut off and the drain on the
food supply Of the soil is stopped.
"Detroys stalks now.
"You are going to plant cotton
next year. Then come on, let's make
the weevl fight easier by blowing ur
every cotton stalk In Southwest
Georgia by the 25th Of October"

SAMUEL GOMPERS' ESTATE

Samuel Gompers left an estate
valued at about $4,000, according to
the son named as executor under the
will.
The great labor leader could have
left an estate of thirty million if the
accumulations of a fortune had play
ed even a secondary part in his life
work.
There are men who rank high in fl
nancial and social circles whose god
is gold In reaching out for the
goods of this world they ignore the
moral code and strive only to remain
within the law written by human
hands. Some, in their greed, even go
so far as to shatter legislative enact
ments. in their reckless pursuit of
gain they overstep the deadline mark
ed out for the protection of organized
society.
For more than forty years Gompers
was president of the American Feder-
alton of Labor. The largest salary
he ever drew as head of the federation
was ten thousand. Up to last year he
only drew seven thousand. This year
it was proposed to increase his salary
but he himself killed the proposition
by refusing to accept the advance:
He was not directing the affairs OF
organized labor for gain. He was in
the work because Of his interest in
the welfare of humanity.
Relatively, thirty thousand dollars
may be regarded as much or little.
In Gompers' case it wasn't big life
time savings for man Of Gompers,
ability. After half century of
strenuous work, it might have been
expected that waning physical
strength would have forced the labor
leader to retire. Even Sc, there was
the possibility that he might have
lived ten or fifteen years. The thirty
thousand dollars that his thrift enabl-
ed him to lay aside would not have
been more than enough to care for
him in his declining years.
But the point is this: A selfish
man, or one whose conception of hon
or was not so lofty as that of Comp
ers, could have multiplied that thirty
thirty thousand a hundred fold with
out, perhaps, arousing suspicion.
During the long and honorable
career Of Gompers there arose many
industrial controversies between capi
tai and labor For the great part, the
result of these disputes was cOnting-
ent on the attitude of Gompers. Usu-
ally the question was, what will
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-01-23

Gompers do? What will Gompers
say"
Doubtless there were many occa-
sions when the president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor could have
reaped a golden harvest by merely
remaining inactive-doing nothing,
saying nothing, but that was not the
Gompers' way.
The great majority Of those who
took issue with Gompers in these la
Dor disputes were men of honor. They
believed in the justice of their cause,
but would not attempt to bring about
its triumph in any but an honorable
way.
But those who would act on the
theory that the end justifies the
means dared not approach Gompers
with unclean hands. They know that
neither gold nor position would tempt
him and that any suggestion of self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT would be spurned and
exposed.
When divided among heirs the
thirty thousand dollar estate will be
only trifle. But the good name he
bequeathed to his descendants is be-
yond price.
And it should be the glory of organ
lied labor that it has part in this
rich heritage.-Ex.

More Child Labor in

During the last six months of 1922,
43, per cent of the children between
IA and Is years Of age obtained per-
mlts to work. During the first half
of 1924, 55 per cent of the children
of these ages entered industry.
Negro children in industry are vic

j. n. Kehoe, of the Burley Tobacco
Growers association, declared he was
not afraid of the reformers, but the
mere fact that he brought up the sub
ject, and the attention paid to his re-
marks along this line, proved that
there was some anxiety 1t has long
been contended that the reformers,
encouraged by their success in liquor
matters, would turn their attention to
the prohibition of tobacco.
