Progressive chants advertise their merchandise by bringing before the buyers cer tain desirable special features. Farmers have been slow to gms|) the advantage of advertising and of having special features to adver tise In getting customers. At the present time, it seems desirable tjiat the farmers using the Curb Market or peddling from house to house, should push the sale of their pgbduct by developing high quality and advertising special features of the products they are offering for ,on the Athens market Is Just poul try on the theory that a chlckei is*Just a chicken. The writer wish es to suggest to wide awake poul- trymen nnd farmers offering poul try for sale here, the desirability of fattening their chicken during the two weeks previous to offer ing for sale. Then let the people know that the chickens have received special at tention and are beter than the gen eral run. Mr. J. H.

The ration should he mix ed Into a sloppy wet mash, using eltfier water or milk. When milk is used one half of the meat scrup or tankage may be omitted. A milk mash will pro ducc more and better flesh than water. After 24 hours give the birds all that they will eat twice a day for two days. Then feed nil they will eat thre times daily until ieady io sell. Grit should be supplied and a little green food will help.” TOMATOES. The leaf spot and some of the rots of tomatoes great ly reduce the yields.

These crates should he pieced In a cool shady place away from the other birds. They ahouM he diy and well ventilated. Ten fatten ing can be accomplished by con-j fining birds in a small coop shed or well lighted nnd ventilated stall Ail ages nnd sizes may be fatten- de by either method, however, fry- ill usually do better in pens. The length of confinement and fat tening period will bo determined by the age nnd condition of the birds. eeks will usually be found best. Young stock can sometimes be kept for three weeks, while old hens will some times lose tNir np petite nnd start losing at the end of ten days. A ration consisting of 20 poundr n meal, 20 pounds middlings low grade flower, and 8 pounds ol tankage, will give very good re suits.

WATERMELONS. Clarko coun ty farmers are planting an increas- frjd acreage In ,■watermelons this season. Tho demand for watcrmal of high quality 1s very stong To obtain such melons It Is nec essary to have strong and healthy vines. The most serious obstacle to water melon wines becoming healthy Is a fungous disease, at tacking the- vines, stems and alsr the melons. The disease develop/ from spores, which are blown from plant to plant by the wind and al- I HOW CAN ATHENS OBTAIN POWER TO ) MEET ALL DEMANDS? „ On Sunday a comparison was made that showed conclus ively Why the spirit of development which has been the policy of Atlhens Railway and Electric Company 'in all the years of its history had been smothered under the changed economic conditions by increasing costs and the inadequate rate schedule under w{iich the Company is compelled to sell the major portion of its product. But the Company is here to say that all the power which Athens needs for an undreamed of industrial development can be-realized by tfhe cobperation with the Company of the . present power users, the city authorities, the civic bodies and the people of the community in general in securing the right to charge the rates which otjher communities are will ing and anxious to pay. In two industrial communities in Georgia the broad minded manufacturers have joined wholeheartedly with the local power company in asking t)he Commission to do away with a rate higher than the Athens rate, and authorize one that will enable the companies to obtain the money neces sary to keep .their facilities abreast of the demands of the manufacturing interests. • t. i * . , What these manufacturers want is service and an insur ance of power to meet their plans for expansion and this their business sense assures them cannot be obtained from a crippled utility. The Athens Company has a record of which it is not ashamed for service and economical management, but it cannot hope to do what larger organizations in more favor able surroundings have found to be impossible, It is here to serve Athens, not only day by day, but day by day and night by night in every way better and better. ATHENS RAILWAY & ELECTRIC COMPANY so carried about by insects. Thl* disease can be prevented by spray ing the watermelon vines with Bordeaux mixture. The first spray ing is made as soon as tho vines begin to run and subsequent spray ings are made at intervals of two weeks during normal season and of- tener durlg rainy sesasons. Anthacnose on watermelons caus es the vines to die beforo the nici- ones mature and also causes dis eased spots on the melons. It if suggested that all producers of termelons make suitable prepar ations to combat this disease. BORDEAUX MIXTURE. Thl* fungicide is made from blucstom and lime. For watermelons use *' pounds of lduestone, 6 pounds o! lime and 50 gallons of water. Dis- e the • hluestone In 25 gallons rater nnd slack the lime, mix ing it in the other 25 gallons of er. Then pour the two to gether by taking a bucketful oi hluestone solution and a bucketful of the lime water and pouring both into the spray barrel or tank at th( e time, repeating this until th« amount needed is prepared. Cau tion: Use wooden vessels for mix ing purposes. Market Gossip Private Wire Received Over F. J.
