Tomatoes Give Big Yieia In Small Portion Of Garden If only one vegetable could be grown in the garden, the tomato would be chosen by many ama teurs. It is not only one of the most delicious vegetables, which can be served in a variety of ways, but it is also a prodigious pro ducer for the space it occupies. Practically no garden, however small, but can accommodate a few plants. The fact that plants instead of geeds must be set out may discour age a few, who do not realize how simple a matter it is to grow the plants. Actually, no other plant is easier to grow at home. A esedbox (made of a cigar box if you choose), a hotbed, or a cold frame will do for this purpose. The seed box is cheapest and easiest, and will serve excellently when placed in a sunny ‘window. Although it is possible to pur chase tomato plants, the choice varieties are likely to be available only to one who grows them. Plants found in the markets are usually in limited variety. To be sure of just the variety you want, it is best to grow your own. Plant tomato seeds in the seed box in rows 2 inches apart. Keep in a warm, but not hot, room, in a well-lighted 'window. Keep moist but not wet. When they reach a height of 2 inches, or have devel oped two true leaves, transplant them into apother box. The out side air at this period, when not too cold, will harden them off, so when you finally transplant them again into the garden, they will be healthy and strong. About six weeks is required from planting of seed to removal to the outside garden. LEXINGTON NEWS BY MRS. W. H. MAXWELL Mr. W. F. Daniel was a visitor to Athens Monday. 'C(;I T. R.

Progress Reported In Cancer Control Campaign In State Remarkable progress ip the Geor gia Campaign for control of can cer by education is revealed in a report to Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, State Public Health Director, by Dr., J. W. Schereschewsky, act ing director of Cancer Control for the Department. The repory shows 186 state aid cases have been ac cepted for treatment at one of Georgia'y several cancer treatment lcenters. since the present cancer lcampa.lgn opened. | Dr. Schereschewsky declared that “it iy reasonable to expect that the disease of cancer will be arrested in many of these patients” except, of course, 14 who were found “too far @dvanced for treat ment,” and who are included among the 186 mcoentioned above, In addition he listed 22 cases as having been diagnosed ag having something other than cancer; 30 who have reported to elinizs but on whom pno report hag heen re ceived; 62 who have bheep direct ed to clinies but whose admission reords have been received. thus making a grand total of 314 appli cations, The period covered in Dr. Sch ereschewsky's report ig from No vember 18 1937, the date the can cer control campaign opened, WINTER RAING DI LAND UAMAGE Winter rains did much less dam age to farm land in the Soil Con servation area near Athens this vear as a result of erosion-con trol practices which have been es tablished on cooperating farms, according to O, D. Hall, project manager., The effect of properly construct ed broad-channel terraces, strips of close-growing crops, contour furrowing, pasture sod imj#ive ment, contour tillage, and other conservation farming practices can readily be observed on farms of cooperators, Mr. Hall sand. The combination of strip crf ping and terraces is particularly effective in preventing soil losses, he pointed out. Terraces break the long slopes where run-off water gains speed and cutting power and strips of close-growing crops help to prevent sheet erosion in the terrace intervals. With the land freshly Dbroken, spring rains that can be expected at this season of the year will give another test of the value of these erosion-control practices. A close check-up during or after a sudden ‘heavy & rain will reveal weak places in ,terraces."m'here a few minutes work will often pre vent serious damax, ‘he added. BISHOP NEWS Mr, and Mrs. E. T.

NICHOLSON Mrs, Robert Toombs Dußose while in the hospital last year wrote a charming account of an incident which ocurred during the War Between the States, and hap pened to Mrs. Dußose's aunt. This Southern incident has been widely published, both in newspa pers of the South and the North, and was dramatized for a radio program in the North—put on in a most elaborate way. A few days ago Mrs. Dußose had a letter from the Praebar Company, Incorporated, Publish ers, 220 West 42nd street, New York City, asking permission to use her story in a book to be pub fished soon. The . book will con tain letters written by readers of newspapers and magazines in the United States during 1937 and 1938. The forthcoming book, “The Yearbook of Public Opinion,” will be a pioneer in its field. This vol ume will contain the highlights of interesting opinions from the press from the pens of many people on many aspects of contemporary cvilization. Tribune Story This stm;y frum the New York Herald-Tribune is as follows: “Margaret Mitchell has made every incident of Sherman’s ‘March Through Georgia’ of the greatest interest. So, from my scrapbook I am taking a part of the following —a scene bearing on a member of the Stovall family during Sher man’s distastrous march. “Cecelia Stovall Shellman had six brothers fighting in the South ern Army: General Marcellus A. Stovall, Colonel Thomas P. Stov all, Captain Bolling Anthony Stov all, John Stovall, Francis Stovall, Marion Stovall and George Stovall. The youngest, George Stovall, only 16 years old, was shot down while fighting by his brother’s side, and killed in the Second Battle of Mannassas. “In 1864 Sherman was sweeping thruujh Georgia, leaving behind him smoking ashes and homeless women and children and old men. Passing through Bartow county— directly in the parth of the North ern Army—stood a beautiful Colo nial house. The army 'was ransack ing the house, tying silver and valuables in sheets and dragging out furniture, preparatory to burning the house. Below, an of ficer sat on his horse, watching: the pillagers. Crouching near him was an old darkey who kept wail ing at intervals: ‘Fo de Lawd, what Miss Cecelia gwine do now.’ “What is your mistress’ full name?’ ‘Miss Cecelia Stovall Shellman,’ was the frightened reply.

If You Have Room Plant Squash In The New Garden If you have room for it, by all means include the squash in your plans for the vegetable garden. Here is an interesting plant, which comes in so many shapes and sizes, and decorates the gar den with so many bright colors and weird and mottled designs that the gardener watches its de velopment with as much pride as his loveliest flowers. The squash is a much maligned vegetable. This is probably due to roor cooking. The “soupy” dish served by careless cooks and call ed squash is a very bad adver tisement. Boiling is the most or dinary method of preparation, and the tendency toward a mushy tex ture can be minimized by thorough draining. Best way is to bake the squash and serve in the shell. It may also be fried in much the same manner as eggplant or mar rows. Tiny squashes which are only a few days old may be boiled and served in melted butter. The Italian marrow is especially suited to this treatment. Pick them when only an inch in diameter. ‘When cold, either of them may be sliced and served with mayonnaise or other dressing. Squashes like a rich, loamy soil, and thrive on a fare rich in plant food. Apply 4 pounds to 100 square feet before planting. Rows should be 3 to 4 feet apart, and hills about the same distnace apart in the row. The same cultural in= structions apply to marrows, ex cept when planting the vine types, where 8 to 10 feet should be al lowed between the rows as well as the hills. Succession planting every two weeks is a good plan, as it will assure a constant fresh sup ply of young vegetables for the summer months. The men furnish the wedding cakes in Korea.

Middlebrook was given a surprise birthday party by her friends F¥riday evening. Delicious cream angd cake was served. Mr. J. H. Middlebrook, after spending a week here has returned to Crawford. ”Several of the Farmington folks enjoyed supper on the river one evening last week, ficer turned immediately and gave orders .that the raiders replace everything they had taken from the house—and then ordered his lieutenants to start the column on its way. Tearing a page from his notebook, he wrote a few lines and handed the note to the negro to give his mistress. Remembered Promise “Memory carried him back to his West Point days when he had given hi sheart to Cecelia Stovall, a Southern beauty, whose brother, Marcellus Stovall, 'was also a ca det at West Point. He recalled how this winsome Southerner had captured his heart—but returning home she had married another. The negro delivered the note— which read—You once said you pitied anyone who was my enemy. To which I replied that I always would protect you. I have done this. Forgive all else—l am a sol dier.—Williazn T. Sherman’.” Soldiers in Wars The six Stovall brothers had two distinguished soldiers in the family, long before this their grandfathers had fought in the Revolutionary War, serving as of ficers. On the maternal side, Cap tain John Lucas, of Sparta, Ga., was at th\ surrender of Corn wallis at Yorktown. . Marcellus Stovall, the oldest of the six brothers, at 17 fought in the Seminole War of 1835. lln a year or so he went to West Point and was there part of the time that William T. Sherman attend ed—Sherman graduated in 1840. The war records of the Stovall brothers was sent to Mrs. Toombs Dußose from the Adjutant Gener al's office in the War Department at Washington. The kindness of Congressman Paul Brown made this possible. M;‘_ Stovall Built Home in Athens Pleasant Stovall, the father of the six Stovall brothers, Cecelia Stovall Shellman, and Elizabeth Stovall Dearing, ‘'was a wealthy commission merchant living at Au gusta, Ga, and in Athens, Ga., also. The home he built stood where the Prince Avenue Presbyterian church is now. This loveiy old home had fluted columns, Doric type, reaching from the porch to the roof of the two-storied house —the usual “Romeo and Juliet” balcony on the second floor. The gardens around the home have long since been built on, so many residences occupy the Stovall homeplace.

On this basis, a refrigeratoe will pay for itself and the cost of operation in less than threg years, he added. “One of these refrigerator unitg is usually large enough to accomo. date a group of 12 to 25 families, depending upon the volume of pro ducts they wish to store” he ex. plained. “It is a good idea to builg it large enough for a person to he able to walk in and hang carcasses of meat, and to store other farm products where other cold storage facilities are not within convenient distance. “The cost of a eommunity ye. frigerator is mnot prohibitive, A group of farm families can club together angq install a unit at some central point at much less cost than for each of several farmers to install a refrigerator to gerve hig own needs. When a community re frigerator is available, a hog or a beef may be butchered at any ses. son of the year, and, in this way, farmers may have a supply of fresh meat all the year.” Calhoun said there are three of these community refrigerators in north Georgia at present, and that they are proving practical and eco nomical. ‘Several commercial re frigerators for this purpose are on the market. Any group desiring to construct a community refrigera tor can obtain working blans, speci fications for equipment, and build ing instructions free of charge by writing te the Agricultural Extene sion Service, Athens, Ga.
