How Concord, Ga., proved that the
traditional southern indolence la
myth, insofar as community advance
ment Is .concerned, is one of the
most worthwhile stories that have
come up from Dixie In many months.
The Institution of a National Spring
Tree Planting Week recalls the man
ner In which this little-Georgia town
made Itself known fsom
coast last October In agricultural and
civic circles. It eet an enviable rec
ord in the first Fall Tree PlantHTSr
Week so successfully promoted by the
Plan to Plant Another Tree move-
ment.
Concord, directed by Its Woman'i
club, wrote the Plan to Plant Anoth-
r Tree directors for suggestion*
ays and means of making Concord
beautiful. It was suggested that the
Club rouse the Interest of all other
clubs, of churches and organizations
of every description, to the effort of
planting a tree, a shrub or d flower
for every mnn^n’oman nnd child in
Concord. The Woman's Club approv
ing nnd advancing the Idea, brought
about the roundup of a week of zeal
that resulted In the planting of not
ono .but four Trees. 8hrub* or Flow
ers for each person in town.
A club member prominent In the
work of planting wee*t In Concord
wrote the chairman of the Plan to
Plant Another Tree as follows.
"Tree Planting JYcck was the most
successful movement ever put on In
this town. We hdve lived here thirty
years add we really believe more or-
namentsls were planted during the
last wetk than in all thirty yearr
together."
The report of tho club avers that
the Initial effort was not easy at first.
Limited means after boll weevil des
truction made It dlflcult to convince
many that fruit treea and ornamentals
were invaluable lvestments for pub
lic and private good. "But tho next
planting," tho reporter avers, "will be
very easy. You never saw such en
thusiasm as there was before the
week waa over. 8omc went back the
third time for plants."
Plan to Plant Another Tree Is
spreading, the result of Its first nat
ional Tree Planting Week In Concord
to encourage other communities to
go and do likewise."

One of tho way* of preventing tho
human aystem from suffering from
digestive monotony is to provide plen
ty of green or leaf vegetables in the
diet. Fresh green food not only serves
as the broom for the stomacho but
supplies the human system with tho
mineral elements that are so essen
tial to health.
Splnash, kale, mustard, dandeUon,
sour grass and other kinds of greens
taste best In spring because they aro
more tender and fresher at that time.
Collards, kale, cabbage, brussels
sprouts, kohl-rabl, turnip tops and
spinach are among the Important fall,
winter and early spring green foods
for tho south. Cabbage, kale nnd
spinach are the Important fall, winter
and spring green foods for those mid
dle sections whero the climate Is mod*
crate. Fall cabbogo and'spinach for
late fall use, storage cabbage and tur
nips for winter uzo and spinach, kale
and mustard for spring and early
Mummer use are a good combination
for the northern states, in addition
plants such os bossclla, swiss chaKl
and New Zealand spinach thrive dur-J
