The unfed, undernourished, im

hundreds of thousands of acres of
farm land comprise one of the factors

business of farming. The most impor

in that excellent results follow when
i ut. abundance of legumes is fed. Feed
ing and fattening the soil is far dif
ferent from mining the soil. The pro
cess of mining takes out all it can get
and puts just as little back as possi
ble. Mined Georgia soils contribute
largely to one of the phases operat
ing as a severe handicap in farming.
It is anything but good business to
prepare soils and cultivate crops on
them with a full knowledge that a
piofit cannot be realized with even
fair prices prevailing, much less min
imum prices. Poor s’oils are taking
too heavy toll in the way of wasted j ed the county auto tag
effort. Some soils are too far gone to I
consider being put into a productive
state. Other soils are close to the di
viding line between the productive
and unproductive. The exercise of
judgment may easily detect one from
the other.
The effort to remind generally of
the intimate and actual relation of
fertile soil to standards of living on
the farms is being undertaken to en
courage in so far as possible ■ th»
planting of legumes on the areas
from which grain has been harvested
While hay is being produced, a cer
tain amount of fattening ration will
be fed at the same time to the soil
There are acres after acres in corn
this .year needing crops of peas
planted at the close of the cultivating
season. Velvet beans and soy beans
have been planted in much of the
com crop already.
Soils without vegetable matter re
spond but poorly to ample applica
tions of commercial fertilizer. Soils
that have been favored with suitable
rotations in which summer legumes
have been given a prominent part re
spond wonderfully well when plant
food in fertilizers is applied. The ef
fects of the practice of summer leg
ume growing are so great and have
such a bearing upon the outcome in
crop and livestock production until it
seems that every operator of a farm
factory would wish to store every
pound possible of vegetable matter to
assist the soil in returning a profit or,
operations.
The fading colors already in evi
dence in many growing crops are
telling a story of little or no vegeta
ble matter in the homes of the plants
With plenty of legume vegetable
matter incorporated in the soils the
light applications of fertilizer would
function with a great deal more pro
ductive power. It takes a fat and well
fed soil to give back to the operator
the greatest volume of newly manu
factured products at the lowest cost.
Most of the farm plants will be
operated another year. Soil feeding
with summer legumes during the re
mainder of the growing season can
pay dividends in next year’s opera
tions.
Dignity
and Privacy
The modern funeral home
was developed to provide a
place where funerals might be
conducted with more convon.
ience and efficiency than j s
possible in a private residence
This convenience does not
entail any sacrifice of dignity
or privacy. On the contrary
bereaved families find that
their feelings are better H ,.
spected in the mortuary than
they could be in the confused
atmosphere of their 0 \vn
homes.
The use of our complete
and up-to-date funeral homo
ifidds nothing to the cost „f

always willing to use the
private residence if such j,
