A Brow letter urges Georgia farmers to demand government-tested boll weevil controls before purchasing any remedies. He notes many products are advertised to boost sales, warns farmers not to waste money on unproven traps sprays or sprays and stresses solutions must pass government testing to prove value.
The Sylvania Telephone argues the boll weevil, once a blamed curse, is a paradoxical aid by reducing cotton yields. It notes the pest has forced farmers to rethink bumper crops and aims for nine or ten million bales at profit rather than sixteen million at a loss.
Walton Tribune notes Joe Gaston is discussed as a possible congressman from the sixth district. The paper says he is focused on good roads in Butts county and questions whether he has considered a congressional run.
An editorial argues against sole reliance on cotton and calls for diversified farming. It cites 1920 census data for Butts county farms—cows, dairy cattle, hogs, and chickens—and urges expanding dairy herds, brood sows, and pure bred hens to restore prosperity and independence.
The Market Bulletin urges farmers to market surplus poultry now to avoid price declines and shrinkage in warm weather. A new bureau chief will organize daily cooperative sales across the state with County Agents and civic groups, offering spot cash for poultry delivered during the shipping season.
Across Georgia, cooperative poultry sales push money through counties with Johnson County reporting a seven thousand dollar sale. The State Bureau of Markets aids communities by organizing buyers and sending market experts to grade and display products.
The Atlanta Constitution discusses contemporary progressive merchandising methods, emphasizing innovative strategies and modern retail practices shaping storefront success and consumer engagement.
The Columbia South Carolina State notes small farms offer one or two grade milch cows with hay stacks and cattle shelters. Early rye nearby and an eighty dollar cow that pays for herself in eighty days, reducing boll weevil fears, prompts question about keeping such cows on farms.
The article argues cotton prices will stay high as global demand for cotton goods rises. It credits the Southern states as the great cotton region and notes rewards to growers are liberal under strong pest resistance efforts. It envisions a hopeful year buoyed by diversified farming and persistent industry.
Editorials from The Times-Recorder and Montgomery Monitor argue that Georgia syrup and cornstalk glucose demand higher prices only when producers standardize quality and market their goods. They note uniform grading, proper sealing, and advertising as keys to fair prices and broader appeal.
Lanier county advances a plan to consolidate fifteen white schools into three, a rural-solution view argued by the Walton Tribune. The consolidation aims at fewer teachers and greater efficiency, promising better schools and economy for the rural system.
