County agents, with their cotton committees, were asked to meet the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss informally ways and means to combat the weevil in that territory, “the Albany Chamber of Commerce desiring to be of what ever practical assistance possible, and standing ready to lend aid in all par ticulars to the end that a normal cotton crop will not only be made, but will be saved from the boll weevil’s repa- cious appetite,” said the secretary. Letters also have been sent to the farmers enclosing leaflets issued by the National Boll Weevil Control As sociation and a leaflet from the Geor gia State Board of Entomology. Ac tivities along these lines are to be continued throughout the season. Reports of such campaigns are con tinually coming into the control asso” ciation’s office, Mr. Ousley said, and it is hoped that a majority of the coun ties in the cotton belt will be organ' ized in time to assist in producing a normal cotton crop this year. Thp National Boll Weevil Control Associa tion stands ready to lend whatever as sistance is necessary to promote coun ty or community organizations, he continued, and suggested that ’per sons in counties where no organizal tion has been attempted, and who are interested in the movement, should confer with the county agent on the matter or write to the National Boll Weevil Control Association, Room 220 Whitney Building, New Orleans, La. in “May Day Fete” which took place on Tuesday, May 6th. The Misses Mc Lean and Mrs. O’Briant were guests at luncheon of Miss Flora McDonald, of Carthage, one of the senior class. The correspondent was the guest of Miss Ida Street, of Glendon, a beau tiful and cultured young lady of the senior class, and a daughter of Dr. Eugene Street, of Glendon. I, myself, went through Paradise with two angel guides, namely: Miss Sadie Phillips, of Cameron, and Miss Ruth Street, of Glendon, another daughter of Dr. Street. Returning our party stopped for a short while with Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Blue, of Raeford, and were refreshed after our dusty drive, with ice water and fruit. Mr. J. F. Saunders, a good scout. Miss Annie Pierce, the rose of Border lee, Miss Nonnie Norman, a Cameron Blossom, and the correspondent went on a motor trip Thursday down in that section of highland country east of Cameron for a visit to the Indian grave yard and the great huckleber ry swamp where the Tuscarora war riors lay in ambush for the oncoming Pee-Dees of the South, and there a great battle was fought for disputed “hunting grounds,” in which the Tus carora tribe was victorious. Anyone looking at the place where the war riors are buried would know that tra dition is correct when it says they were buried in one grave fashioned like an Indian’s wigwam. One can see that for one’s own self, but one has to rely on the tradition of ghouls who first dug into the graves to know they were buried standing on their feet with faces towards the rising sun. One sees only minute pieces of crumbl ing bones that have been scattered over the earth. Gone forever from our borders are the mighty red man of the forest! American aristocracy! Immortal in name, American Indian! From there our party went to “Drip ping Hill,” a natural curiosity. From an altitude of possibly 700 feet one suddenly comes to a semicircle of hill? overlooking a valley dry as the valley of dead men’s bones, with a growth of pine, oak and wire grass, similar to the growth on the high sandy ridge land. One side of the hill encircling the valley is boggy marsh land with a growth of moss, ferns and other shrubbery native to swamp lands. In walking, the water oozes up through the moss. All about are little pools of water. We saw a larger pool, a fair size spring, but no outlet. The water comes out of the earth, but does not run down the hill; it oozes up from the earth, and on steep places in the hill side drips, hence “Dripping Hill.” The other two sides of the hill are per fectly dry with growth of pine, oak and wire grass. I have seen bogs on the level plains on high ridge land, but never before saw a marsh on the side of a steep hill and no running water in sight. Where does it come from ? where does it go ? My esteem ed neighbor, J. D. McLean informs me that the air absorbs it. On commencement week the Merry NATIONAL BOLL WEEVIL CONTROL Georgia is taking decisive steps in the effort to control the ravages of the boll weevil, as is shown by the follow ing statement: New Orleans, La., April 12—That Georgia is taking the lead in efforts to control the boll weeyil is evidenced by reports to the National Boll Weevil Control Association that a large num ber of business organizations and chambers of commerce are taking an active part in campaigns to encourage farmers in the application of control measures, was asserted here by Clar ence Ousley, director of the associa tion. While there seems to be a great amount of interest taken in the move ment in all parts of the cotton belt, Mr. Ousley declared that the county agents in Georgia are receiving more support from business interests than in other states. There are several counties which have engaged in stren uous campaigns, he said, and cham bers of commerce are arranging coun ty and community meetings, distribut ing literature and placing all facilities for fighting the boll weevil within reach of the cotton growers. Bankers also are arranging to ex tend credit to farmers for the pur chase of equipment and poison to combat the boll weevil, the director stated. The most recent campaign to be re ported to the control association’s office is the one being carried on by the Albany, Ga., Chamber of Com merce. It is not confining its activi ties to the home county, according to the report, but is extending the cam paign to several neighboring counties. The county agent met with the sec retary of the Chamber of Commerce recently, and formulated plans of cam paign. The plans were submitted to the board of directors and were adopt ed. One of the first steps taken was to arrange for the sale of calcium arsenate from a “peddler” car, and farmers were notified that the poison could be purchased in 100-pound lots at twelve cents a pound.
