The boys b**ha themselves as young gentlemen and their deportment is admirable The time was when at this time the collage boys' were a holy ter ror, when they began their sky larking and Athens was like a Wild West town, willed with cow boys, SEVERAL TOURISTS who pass ed through the city say they will re.ftirn home and get up a party In visit our section, with an eye to buying farms. They are delighted with the looks of our land and our people, and say what kept them back was dislike to so many negroes and the stories of horrof they read about the South. THE MONROE Woman's Club is planning to issue a liitle booklel containing a map of the Natio.u.l Highway through Walton countv and some information relative to their town. As this highway passes through Aahens, our city wll! bo advertised. Why not our Athens ladies follow this example? THE GOVERNMENT REPORT shows a big decrease in the stock weet' potatoes. Tho popularity of this root Is increasing all the while and If properly advertised will greatly Increase the consump tion. The finest sweet potatoes grown are around Athens, and our farmers can make this crop help fill the missing link caused by tho appearance of tho boll weevil. THIS YEAR Is the centennial of Home Sweet Home/' the immortal song is loo years old this spring. It first sung on May 8, 1923, in London. Sir Henry Bishop, an Englishman, supplied the music. London Is preparing to properly ob serve the anniversary^ As our own Athens Is so closely allied with the author of this song, wouldn’t it appropriate for some fitting celebration *of the anniversary bn- in.t held In this city?

Sibley to tell why he failed to appear on March 12 and be sentenced for possessing whiskey. "I thought the case was odno set tled, Judge,” the prisoner said. “I was here March 1 and a man with a black mustache, a blue suit, a sporty vest and a ’’fast” hn; met me there afl the door and asked me did I want to settle my case.

He had a big book under one irtn. and said- -BverythlfiMV St! rJghL' I -waited, .arenaA the shortage of labor and the fact that a fair yield of peanuts can be procured from many fairly fer tile fields, without using any com mercial fertilizers, is a prominent factor that will cause many to raise peanuts this year. And pea nuts in udditiiin to the crop of nuts will furnish a good crop ol hay, and peanut hay will compare favorably in leeding value with al falfa. A farmer in Oglethorpe county told me that he kept his mules while working in good con dition by feeding them on this hay alone, without any grain; and he is assured that when feeding on pea nut hay mules and horses can do hard work on about half the grain ns if fed on any other hay. even alfalfa. A ton of hay may be ex pected to every ton of peanuts. The present price of good pea nuts is from $lt.l> to |16u per ton. Last year in upper Georgia no peanuts were crushed, the confec tionery trade consuming the sup p| y- ... A drive ia now on to organize a Georgia Peanut Growera’ Asaocia- tion, working in cooperation with the. Virginia-Carolina Association, ana wfuen will have a material in fluence toward atabalizing the price of peanuts by proper and orderly marketing. Thfcre ia $60 a ton tariff on pea* nuts in the hull and $80 protective tariff on shelled peanuts. This in* aures us against having our mar* ket flooded with foreign peanuts. However, there ia a possibility of the toutii raising such an enormous crop of peanuts tnat a materially lower price will be received 'There fore it is advisable for our farm ers not to rely on any one crop for their entire money crop. This has been the trouble when we were all Cottontots and grew the fleecy staple to supply all of our other needs. The soils and climatic condition of this section are adapted to growing peanuts of a splendid quality and the soils in the country contiguous to Athens are especial ly adapted for the White Spanish variety. Mr. Monk GUlen ot Max* eys says that we have a decided advantage over the grey and san dy land of south Georgia in raising pcanutsl for we cun grow more nuts to the acre, while the hay from vines produced on our red lands is far superior as a feed to the hay from vines lower down the country as they do not shed the!/ leaves. Mr. Gillen also says he has kept books on both and there ia more *money anfi far less work and expense in growing peanuts than cotton, even before the appearance of the boll weevil. His hay epop alone pays the entire cost of plant ing* cultivating and gathering a crop of peanuts. From what I can gather, the acreage in peanuts planted in our section this year will be largely increased over the last crop, hut the peanut mania is confined to sections and counties. The largest acreage to. be planted will be in Oglethorpe, Greene, Morgan and Walton counties. In the section above Athens few fanners will plant peantus, and these are small patches.
