Better Than We Expected.
Our January attendance was
much better than we expected, as
was also our calls from business
firms for our graduates. We have
enrolled more students and placed
more graduates in good positions
during January this year than ever
before in the history of the school.
Business conditions are improving
throughout the country and there
is an ever increasing demand for
young men and women thoroughly
and practically trained as hook
keepers and stenographers. The
wage scale has lx*en raised, which
enabled us to place our recent grad
in tes at lx*tter salaries than ever
liefore. Students may enter at any
time and take up the work to the
very best advantage. Practically
all of our work is taught on the
plan of individual instruction. A
•lull student is not crowded Ixiyond
his capacity nor a bright student
held hack and discouraged on ac
count of a dull one, hut each indi
vidual student is worked to his full
cap icily. This i| one reason why
you never hear of a dissatisfied
student in our school. They always
have plenty to d<fc to keep them
busy —plenty of practical, interest
ing work —something in which they
see they are gaining valuable infor
mation every minute. It only re
quires three months for the average
s udent to complete a thorough
course in shorthand, four months
for Bookkeeping, live months for
Bookkeeping and Shorthand com
bined. Invest with us a few
months’ time and a little money,
and your earning capacity is
doubled; your opportunities for suc
cess throughout life are doubled.

men and women have don* ; read

IS WILLIAMSON RIGHT ?
*
Mr. W. L. Williamson, admittedly
one of the l*est posted men in the
state on matters pertaining to the
farm, in discussing agriculture and
A RIGHT TO KICK.
{J A You’ve a perfect right to kick
V if y° ur horse’s shoes come off be-
VT fore they are completely worn
down. We put ours on*to stay.
ye lIS a an d we know you
the farms to a News man recently
made three remarks that are worthy
of record and comment- First, he
said that in his opinion the reversi
ble disc plow had done more to im
prove Georgia farms than any other
one agency. That our lands have
increased in value during recent
years is an admitted fact- We now
grow one bale of cotton on the same
land that produced only half a few
years age. Mr. Williamson Ixdieves
the increase is due to deep plowing.
So does every other well informed
man. That, in its last analysis,
means that the best success is not
possible for the one hoise farmer.
Ix*t him do the best he can his suc
uss is limited.
He followed this statement with
another to the effect that clean
cultivation was one of the most
destructive agencies in the deterior
ation of our land. By this he meai i
that farm lands cannot be improved
if cultivated continuously in corn
and cotton. r system denies
the land of humus, which feeds and
make the land better. Land should
be sown regurlarly at intervasls in
rve.oats or wheat followed with peas.
This method supplies in part the
humus that is so necessary if the
land is to improve.
Still another significant utterance
of Mr. Williamson was, that in his
opinion, the sale of fertilizers would
be ineieased this year from five to
ten per cent, and that he thought
this was wise. He says that the
deeper the land is plowed the more
fertilizers can he used with safety
and profit. All over this section
many farmers have already broken
the land for another crop, using two
and three horses to the plow. All
lands prepared thus can use, and
should be supplied with more plant
food", than if prepared under the old
order of shallow plowing. If
broken with one horse, 200 pounds
of guano to the acre is sufficient,
whereas, if two or three horses are
used, and the land plowed deep,
four to six hundred pounds can lie
useb with profit. Mr. Williamson
is right iu all nis conclusion, lx*cause
they are based on demonstrated
scientific principles. —The Com
