VOL. XXVII. THE FARM AND ' FARM METHODS How the Lands Should Be Managed to Secure the Best Results From Different Crops. Une day last spring I called on Uncle John and we went into the field to see his cotton and corn. Uncle John is a fine, old, conserva tive farmer, as good and true as men are made, but he can not help look ing at things just as he did when he was a bov, and when he was a boy farming was done with the plow and hoe run bs r hard muscle. No one ever thought of attaching brains to them. As we entered the field Uncle John remarked, “You see my stand is not as good as I wanted. I plant ed a full bushel of seed and a little thrown in extra. It was good cot ton seed; I got it from the gin and the plants came up thick enough in most places to raise the crust, but in some places they did not come up at all. A good many of the plants died, though I gave the crop a good hoe iug and kept the grass out. I be lieve in clean cultivation, and for this there is no implement that quite equals the hoe.” “My dear Uncle,” I replied, “you are worth your weight in gold and if you would change some of your old methods of raising cotton you would soon make enough money to buy yourself and retire from business. “In view of this unpromising crop I want to tell you several things that will be helpful. The world knows a lot more about plant life than it di& twenty-five years ago. “Y our first mistake was that you did not thoroughly prepare this land for planting. It should have been worked until the soil was like an ash heap, 3 or 4 inches deep. You did not drain the rows so that there would be no wet spots, even with a heavy rain. Look at the long spaces where there are no plants. If the soil is properly pre pared there is little danger that there will not be moisture enough fdr the seeds to germinate, but iu most climates and soils there is always danger of too much water in the soil. Standing water is death to cotton and com. “Your next mistake was in getting gin-run seed and planting too many per acre. If you wanted a clean, vig orous/and thrifty family, you would not go and get a lot of gin-run boys and girls.” “What do you mean by ‘gin-run boys and girls?’ ” rather sharply in terposed Uncle John. “I mean,’ 1 I replied, “boys and and girls picked up in the homes of the orphans, without any knowledge of their parentage, and you would not get five times as many as you intended to raise, judging that enough of them would die of natural weakness or consumption or from other causes to leave the proper family. Yet that is what you did with your cotton; but we will talk more of this another time. “Pou planted to deep and there was hardly strength enough in the little plant to reach the air end it died before it could draw support from the soil. The plants were in the main too crowded. They lacked food and air. That crust on the soil should have been broken. It shuts out the air essential to germi nation and growth and aids evapor ation. Delay planting till the weather is warm Cotton is a trop ical plant Prepare a fine 3eed bed; plant shallow—not over 1 inch deep, if that depth reaches moisure—and the plants will be up in a few days. “Run the smoothing harrow two or three times diagonally across the rows as soon as the seed is planted and again when the plants are 2 or it inches tall. This should be re peated, removing a tooth from the harrow and going astride the rows, as in cultivation, till the plants are 6 inches high. The harrow prunes the roots a little, which tends to give the plan a lower and ‘limbier’ habit of growth; it opens the soil to re ceive air; it promotes growth and destroys weeds. “The hoe is the natural enemy of the cotton planter. It kills some weeds, but it finally kiljs the planter financially, and as generally used it does not properly air the soil, which is the chief end of cultivation. “While the cotton plants are small, thoroughly work the spaces between the rows two or three times to a depth of at least 4 inches. This leaves a fine seed bed for the roots to occupy later when they are racing about to find food and water. All later cultivation of plants and mid dles should be shallow—not over an inch and a half deep. This keeps a dust mulch, which checks the rising soil moisture and plant food just at a depth where there are the most rootlets to utilize them for plant growth. “A plow is the poorest implement with which to work a cotton crop that could well be used."’ “Tut! tut!” said Uncle John. “What you said about the hoe was bad enough and now you jump on to the plow. I have used it all my life and it is a pretty good tool.” “Yes, you have used it all your life and you have not averaged a third of a bale of cotton per acre in all that period, when on such good land you should have averaged a bale. At present prices this is a yearly loss of S4O per acre, lint and seed included. You have'SOO acres in cot ton; your loss is SB,OOO per year. You have been repeating this for forty years. Your losses, even at the lower prices of cotton in former years, have for that period exceeded -s£oo,ooo. What have you to show for it. Some old plows and antiqua ted hoes; if they have not kept you poor, they have prevented you from getting ahead. There is nothing on The Cartersville News a farm * hat pays greater dividends than the best teams and tools. “Shallow cultivation should be continued as late as practicable. On very rich bottom lands after the plants are thinned to a stand, bar off on each side if they show too rapid growth This root-prunes and checks a tendency to make excessive stalk. It also gives the plant a hint that it must commence fruiting. “What I have said about cotton is true of corn, only’ corn requires a deeper seed bed than cotton and different spacing for the plants. The cultivation is practically the same, though local conditions of soil and climate may require considerable modification in the treatment of the corn plant. The experience of the best farmers must determine this.” INDUSTRIAL^ Notes of the New Developments Under Way and Planned for the Near Future. The Georgia and Alabama Indus : trial ludex, of Columbus, says in its regular weekly issue: “Down on the Georgia coast the cedars in the low counties and on the islands fringing the seaboard are to be reduced to pencils, one of the largest pencil manufacturing con cerns in the country having estab lished a plant at Frederica for the purpose of cutting the wood to the proper sizes and lengths to be ship ped to factories in the North. Up in Atlanta, Ga„ preparations are being made to build a #400,000 candy and cracker factory, which will be the largest enterprise of its kind in the Southern States. Down in South Alabama Mobile is rejoicing over a #600,000 appropriation from the Fed eral government for the building of an elegant postoffice, and Flomaton, Ala., is preparing to erect a #35,000 hotel. The news from the great min eral district pf North Alabama fairly bristles with announcements of re suming industries and plans to en large present plants. At Augusta, Ga., over on the Carolina line, a rep resentative of Northern capitalists has secured an option on land on which it is declared a #1,000,000 hotel will be built. In middle Georgia preparations to construct the At lanta, Griffin and Macon Electric railway and Americus and Albany Electric railway, at a cost of millions of dollars, are in progress, the prom ise being made that within a year electric cars will be running between Macon and the Georgia Capital, while in middle Alabama the stock holders of the Birmingham and Gulf Railway and Navigation Company have, at a meeting just held, in creased their capital stock from #4,- 000,000 to #10,000,000 and will pro ceed with their ambitious plans of es tablishing electric railways and barge lines to be operated to the Gulf of Mexico in connection therewith.* “The above are simply a few of the industrial and construction items and developements of the week, se lected at random from the reports to the Industrial Index, showing that business activity and enterprise con tinues to assert itself in all sections of these two great Southern States, and that the developement of their wonderful resources of all kinds pro ceeds steadily. “During the week fourteen new corporations applied for charter in Georgia and Alabama, with aggre gate minimum capital stock of #403,- 290. “Among the contruction and in dustrial items of special interest may be mentioned the following: Barrel factory, Port Payne, Ala ; brick and tiling plant, Milledgeville, Ga.; mar ble quarry enlargement, Gantt’s, Ala; #300,000 tobacco enterprize, with headquarters at Atlanta, Ga.; abat toir, Augusta, Ga., apartment house, Birmingham, Ala., churches, Colum bus, Ga., Huntsville, Ala., and Mo bile, Ala.-.club house, Savannah, Ga. depot, Fitzgerald, Ga.; engine house, Savannah, Ga.; depot, Fitzpatrick, Ala., hotel, Augusta, Ga., and Leary, Ga.; school building, Bonito, Ga., Camden, Ala., Crawfordville, Ga., Dadeville, Ala., Dublin, Ga.,Elyton, Ala., and Girard, Ala.; sewer exten sions and street work, Cedartown, Ga. “A good many real estate deals are reported, among them a #67,500 land sale in Atlanta. “A great deal of construction work of a minor character is reported. People in the towns and villages all over the two states are taking ad vantage of the present low price of building material and are erecting residences and business buildings.” WILL BE JUNK 11. Lecture of Charles Lain and Speech of Commissioner Found. The lecture by Charles Lain will be Wednesday June 10th ami not Thursday, June 11th as announced. The board is to be congratulated for securing Mr. Lain and we expect a good time next Wednesday night. Complimentary tickets will be given the teachers, others will be charged an admission fee of 25 and 15 cents, proceeds to go to assist the country schools, securing libraries. On Thursday night June 11th Hon. Jere* M Pound t S. 8. C. will make a public educational address. I assure you that Prof. Pound will interest you, 1 urge every citizen in the county that possibly can to hear Prof' Pound. He has taken hold of the school work of the state with a determination to do something for our children. He deserves a good audience from the people of Bartow and I feel sure we will give him a full house. Hesrt Milam C. 8. C. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1908. THE SCHOOL CENSUS Illiteracy is on Increase in Bartow.

How Jere M. Pound S. S. C. made the statement that if we had reduced illiteracy in Georgia during the past five yfcars as much as we did the preceding five years the per cent of illiteracy for the state would be 2 per cent. To look at these figures show to what extent Bartow county helped to bring about this desired gad. My fellow citizens, I hope a com parison of these figures will help you to see that by your carelessness and indifference you are largely respon sible for this state of affairs. School officials and teachers must bear their part of the blame and must do all in their power to remedy this deplora ble state of affairs. But you will have to do your part if we ever suc ceed. It is a disgrace to Bartow county schools, it places a stigma on her fair reputation as a county for the fact to go to the world that more than one-seventh of her school pop ulation are illiterates especially when illiterates are all over ten vears of age. If it is not time for the good people of Bartow to wake up on the school question, lam badly mistaken. And m} 7 friend do not delude yourself by saying the negroes are nearly all il literate for tiie facts will not sustain you, true they must bear their part but the ratio is about the same. It is high time the people of Bar tow county should leave off striving for the dollar exclusively and devote a little more time to the develop ment of their children, what better legacy can we leave our children than a well developed body a trained in tellect and a saved soul? In this connection 1 want to say that of the seven thousand children in the county only five thousand were enrolled in our school and only three thousand were regular attendants. These facts merely show the indiffer ence existing on the part of the pa trons of our various schools. Fellow citizens 1 expect to throw my whole life into the betterment of our school system in Bartow. I ex pect to and have labored for the best interest of every child in the county. I am trying in my feeble way to arouse interest in our schools and I ask for your support and co-opera tion for without it I fai^. Let us all labor so that when our next census is taken we will have wiped this stain of illiteracy from Bartow’s fair name. Let our slogan be Better Schools for Bartow. Henry Milam, C. S. C. REV. J.

One of the most interesting games of ball yet witnessed on the Carters ville diamond was that played by the home team with Adairsville last Sat urday afternoon. There was quite a large crowd of spectators present, showing that people are getting more interested in the national game. The Adairsville team had a splen did battery. Paul Dyer, the expert twirler only let his opponents have two hits off him. Freeman, who pitched for Cartersville, also did some fine work, the visitors getting only two hits off him. The same was 2 to 0 in favor of Cartersville. Other games from visiting clubs will be arranged soon, but the great ball event of the year undoubtedly will be the coming of the famous Cherokee Indian club. This is an at traction which has drawn its thous ands all over the country. The In dians will play two games with the home boys, one in the afternoon and one at night. The latter will be played under electric lights and will be highly spectacular as well as ex citing. The date is next Monday, June Bth. The Grand Rapids, Mich., Post says of the Indians: “A 13-inning game was played here yesterday between Foster Stevens and Cherokee Indians. Score 1-0 fa vor of Indians. From the first ball pitched until the winning run crossed the plate, it was a great game of ball and enjoyed by about 1,000 fans, crowd being kept down by the threatening weather. The Red Men lived up to all the nice things said of them in advance notices and demonstrated themselvss to be one of the greatest teams that has ever played in this city, outside of the league. This game will go down in local base ball history as one of the greatest ever played in this city.” COBB FERGUSON. Fretty Home Wedding of Fopular Couple Tuesday Afternoon.

THE CLOSING OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Program of the Exercises Which Took Place This Year at Night and at the Tabernacle. BACK TO THE OLD HOME. Refreshing Notes From a Fupll Return ing From Ills School Stndles. Last Sunday afternoon I returned to my home on the farm among the hills of Cedar creek. Being some what worn out with the closing work of our school, 1 felt aright smart like rest. The early evening found me pleasantly sleeping on my mother's bed. When I had stretched myself at full length on that bed, I thought, now, if any one gets me up from here any time soon he will be a good ’un. About four-thirty o'clock Monday morning I heard that same voice, that used to call me, say, “boys, time to get up.” I turned over, gave a long grunt, but that didn’t do any good, for it was get up just the same. When mother had searched the clean clotnes box, for that’s what I call it, and the wardrobe for me a cotton-checked shirt, and a pair of cotton pants, then it was I realized that something was yet to happen, which had not been revealed. Slip ping into these, very slowly, I made my way out of the house, going to ward the barn; as I was approaching a near by tool house I saw my younger brother who had been to feed, and who is far my superior physically as well as in looks, walk up to the door and pick up a hoe. He looked at the hoe and then at me. 1 saw on his face that smile which plays over a country lad’s face when Ue's going to get help or it looks like rain. He said, “Mr. Hoe, let me in troduce you to my brother who is fresh Dorn school. I looked at that hoe with a sad look, but that was soon over when I found myself out in the cotton field among the crab grass and poke. I don’t mind it much boys for I feel if I can stand it, it will make a man of me some day. I have now come to what I wish to say to the boys over the county, both in and out of schqol. It is good for us boys to take to the field as soon as we leave school and spend our va cation there, provided we use good judgment about getting too hot, drinking too much water, eating too much, etc. I would say, do not work too hard, but I don’t believe there's any danger of us doing that. Just here, let me say, there is no place I enjoy myself so Well as out in the field, where I can hear the whistle of the Bob-White, the cawing of the crow and late in the afternoon the cry of the Whippoor-Will. The boy who is kept in town and deprived of the enjoyment that’s found out in the country in the humble homes among the common people is robbed of the dearest part of his life. Why, even the picture of nature that’s seen among hills brings new thoughts, new plans, new hopes, to the young mind who is in search of something better. Let me say again to our farm boys, love your home, however humble, and never forget the lessons of your childhood, among the hills of dear old Bartow. If this little sketch finds a place in the columns of the News, and is in teresting to any of the boys, I may come to see you again. Sincerely, W. S. A. MATRIMONIAL. Miss Smith and Mr. Pittard Married Last Week at CagMville. The social event of the season was the wedding of Mr. Henry Connor Pittard and Miss Mamie Dunlap Smith which was solemnized in the Baptist church. Cassville May, 28 at 8:30 o’clock p. m. The church was tastefully deco rated in ferns and magnolias. The ushers, Messrs. M. O. Crawford W. 8. Chuun, Prof. J. W. Jackson and Dr. R. E. Wilson, entered singly to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march skillfully played by Miss Gertrude Chunn and stood un der arches on either side. Next came the attendants: Miss Gertrude Mil hollin, Matrons, Mrs. J. W. Jackson, Mrs. W. R. Layton, Mrs. W. S. Chunn Mrs. M. O. Crawford and Mrs. R. E. Wilson who were becomingly attired in cream net with touches of pink and carried pink carnations. The attendants entered alone and stood in groups of three under a broad arch on either side of the bride and groom. Following them came the bride daintily attired in a lovely gown of white mull elaborately trim med with lace and ribbon. She carried a shower bouquet of brides roses caught with tulle and was attended by her sister, Louise, as maid of honor, who wore a gown of white with touches of blue and carried white carnations. The bride was met at the altar by the groom who came in with his best man, Mr. Max Pittard. Standing un der a central arch of ferns and mag nolias the solemn vows were taken which united them for life. The im pressive ceremony was performed by Rev. A. J. Buford of Ala. The bride is the third daughter of Mr. R. B. Smith and a young woman whose charming personality has en deared to her scores of friends wherever she is known. The groom is a sterling young bus iness man of Cartersville and greatly admired by all who knew him. Mr. and Mrs. Pittard will make their home in Cartersville where their many friends will gladly wel come them. The public schools of Cartersville closed last week. Tuesday morning was devoted to the examination ex ercises in the primary and intermed iate deparmentsof the East and West side schools respectively. The ex aminations did credit to both teach ers and pupils and were very inter esting to the spectators who at tended them. These exercises were held in the school buildings of the two schools. Wednesday night occurred the graduation exercises and these were conducted at the tabernacle. The graduating class was composed of the following: Rosebud Ginn, first honor; Adelaide Taylor, second honor Minnie Spence, third honor; Roberta Wylie, Pearl Hicks —these two won medals on composition; Bobbie Ver ner, Lee Covington, John Lewis, Harold Saxon, Reneau Bradford — these won prizes for highest scholar ship. The rostrum was decorated with the class colors, old gold and purple. The exercises were interspersed with music by the Cartersville Con cert baud, to which the audience gave expressions of appreciation by liberal applause. The following is the program of the graduation exercises: Music Band Prayer Rev. Geo. W. Duval Salutatory Miss Adell Taylor Class History.... Miss Minnie Spence MUSIC. Oration—Thought.. .Leon Covington Class Prophecy. .Miss Roberta Wylie MUSIC. Reading—The Sweet Girl Graduate Miss Bobbie Verner Oration —The Ideal Citizen John B. Lewis MUSIC. The Last Will and Testament of Class of 1908 Miss Pearl Hicks CLASS SONG. Valedictory Miss Rosebud Ginn MUSIC. Delivery of Diplomas and Medals Mr. Albert Strickland, President Board of Education. In the graduating class, universal interest and expectation of course culminates, because they are leaving their studies so soon to enter upon the responsible duties of life, and the measure of their attainments is the measure of their fitness for tUe fu ture; but Professor Sewell had pre sided at too many similar occasions and been too long in service not to know the situation and tq be master of the field. The board of education have vigitantly fostered the school’s every interest and the principal and teach ers have faithfully performed their part. Cartersville’s public schools were never on a better footing than now and are the pride of our people. IN MEMORIAM. Affectionately Inscribed In Memory of Lit tle Francis W illiam Akerinan. The hearts of loving parents and affectionate friends would have de tained him here even in this dark cold world, but Jesus called him for his own. “Suffer the little ones to come unto me tor of such is the Kingdom of God.” Sorrowing pa rents be comforted, you will again see your darling in the Kingdom of God. “The Lord gave and He hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Francis had snob bright, winsome ways, the sunshine in the home. He was taken suddenly ill, only lived a week and with all the skill of our best physicians and loving hands could not be saved, only two years of age. a bright and interesting child. But turning from our selfish grief, let us dry our tears and rejoice that he has exchanged earth’s miseries for Heavens glory, and his eyes be hold the King in his beauty. Intelligent, winsome, sweet babe, it is hard to give thee up out of mother’s arms, but we can only bow in humble submission to Him who doeth all things well. He is too wise to err, He makes no mistakes. A Friend. Organ Recital. There will be an organ recital at the Sam Jones Memorial church Tuesday evening, June 9th begin ning at 8:15.
