Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 3.—More com
mercial fertilizer la to be uaed In
Georgia during 1913 than at any
time during the history of this
State, If the Incessant demand upon
the fertilizer department of the
Georgia State Department of Agri
culture for fertilizer tags, is to be
taken as a guide.
Thousands and thousands of tags
am being distributed among the
manufacturers of high-grade com
mercial fertilizers, not only in Geor
gia but throughout the South, dally.
Under the Georgia law, every bag
of commercial fertilizer sold In this
state has to bear a tag from the
Stale Department of Agriculture.
Id tuts way, a very accurate account
of the amount of fertilizer sold, for
use In Georgia, will be had.
Great Interest Is being taken
throughout Georgia In-the soil sur
veys which are now being con
ducted In a number of counties and
which, in due time, It Is expected,
will be made In every oounty in the
State. In 'this way, the soil types
will be ascertained and a chemical
analysts of that soil will enable the
planters to know In Just what pro
portion his land Is deficient In plant
food and this will give him an idea
as to the analysis of commercial fer
tilizer, most necessary for produc
ing the best crop results.
The State College of Agriculture,
at Athens, Is at present conducting
a series of chemical analysis of the
soli In those counties In which the
physical soil surrey baa been com
pleted. However, these remits have
not been announced, but it Is ex
pected, that they wjjl be shortly.
This will I prove a wonderful advan-

York and Pennsylvania, and as far

A decided drop In the temperature,

predicted.

Georgia has, all along, been noted
for her famous crop results and
much of this success la attributable
to the fact that Georgia Is one of the
largest consumers of commercial

Miss J. Pearlo Rogers, the young
society ladies of Thomasvllle enter
tained about six hundred pebple at
the Opera House, for two hours.
The affair was gotten up for the
benefit of the Ladles Auxiliary of
the Y. M. G. A., and the Opera House
was filled from one end to the other
and many were standing, unable to
secure seats, except far back In the
■gallery.
The minstrel was opened by Mise
Rogers, entertaining a company of
theatrlca' stars, the stage being ar
ranged for a lawn fete and many
young ladles, in beautiful costumes
took part. The opening song was,
"Let’s go back to Baby Days,"
which was eung by Mrs. J. L. Fos
ter. She was generously applauded.
Mis Marlon Mallard, taking the
part of “Maude Delmar,” In black
face, sang, “A Little Bit of Rag-
Time,” and did It cleverly, making
quite a hit with the audience. Miss
Marianne Watt, as "Blanca Ring”
sang that delightfully catchy bal
lad, “I’m In Love With the Stars."
This was one of the most attractive
songs of the evening.
The two b'ack face stars, "The
Snow-ball Sisters,’’ next sang, "Many
Shufflin' Dance," and they did it
In great style. The young ladles
taking part were Misses Helen Ba
ker and Honorlne Hopkins and both
made good from the time they came
on the stage.
“When Love Flies In the Win
dow," was rendered by "Edna May,”
the part being delightfully taken by
Miss Claude Ford. One of the big
gest hits of the evening was "Qlor-
lanna Dockstadcr," in black face,
taken ..by, .Mlu L«i|*e __<j£antha:n.
3he sang, "I’m Going, I’m Gone,”
and the charming young lady was
compelled to give three encores.
Her rendition of the song was
splendid.
"Irina Frank'in,” sang "Hello,
Little Sweetheart,’’ and It was a
pleasing, lovely ballad, gracefully
and delightfully rendered by Miss
Ray Ansley. Another of the events
of the evening was, '‘I’ve Lost My
Pal," with a locar application which
was quite appropriate and sung by,
"Ll'ly Bello White,” the part being
taken by Mrs. B. H. Cocroft. She
was very clever Indeed and was en
cored persistently.
Miss Nell Patten, taking the part
of "Mable Hite," sang, 'M’d Rath
er Love What l Cannot Have, Than
Have What I Cannot Love,’’ and the
beautiful young lady was enthusias
tically applauded for her attractive
work
The closing of the flrsi part came
when Miss Rogers sang, "Regular
Man," and during that part, some
one had sent to the stage a dummy
which was duly presented to the
lady. She was not one whit dis
