MANUFACTURERS ASSERT RE

PROFIT WITH LOWER PRICES.
5-CENT CONE MAY RETURN
Savannah, Ga. —Visions of the
lowly nickel coming back into its
own were held out today at the an
nua) convention of Tri-State Asso
ciation of Ice Cream Manufacturers
at the De Soto hotel, when it was
voted to advise dealers to restore
the jitney plate and the five-eent
cone.
The manufacturers claimed that
the “sundae merchant” could afford
to sell cones and small plates of
ci earn for a nickel and make a good
profit. It was accordingly agreed
that the members should instruct
their salesmen to inform the retail
ers of the sentiment of the manufac
turers.
General trade conditions w.sre dis
cussed, and the majority view was
that the pessimism existing in some
quarters was based on ignorance of
the actual facts. Reports received
indicate, according to Secretary John
Sancken, of Augusta, that business
conditions will not influence ice
creanr addicts from indulging their
appetites when “Old Sol” shines
with the vengefulness of the ever
lasting winter resort.

CHARGES POSTOFFICE
JOBS TO BE BOUGHT
HENRY “LINK” JOHNSON SAID
TO BE BEHIND MOVE. APPLI
CANTS WOULD HAVE TO DIG
UP CASH. PROTEST MADE
Washington, March 12.—Senator
William J. Harris today received a
telegram from a Georgia city, sign
ed by several of the city officials,
saying:
“All postmasters in the county
are being held up by negro agents
of Lincoln Johnson for large contri
butions to the Republican campaign
fund deficit under pain of immediate
removal from office. If they do not
come across the postoffice at this
place is to be abolished unless an ap
plicant for same who will make such
a contribution is forthcoming. We
wish to protest against such proce
dure.”
Senator Harris has taken the mat
ter up v.'th the Postoffice Depart
ment, but he did not make public
the name of the city or county. It
is reported here this afternoon that
Heny Lincoln Johnson, the Georgia
negro National Committeeman, re
ferred to in the telegram, is slated
for the appointment of Register of
the Treasury; which is a $4,000 job.
The position is now held by Wil
liam S. Elliott of Covington, Ga.,
the first white man to hold the Reg
ister’s place in many years. At one
time Judson W. Lyons of Augusta,
Ga., served as Register.
Information in Washington does
not show that Johnson is down and
out, so far as Georgia patronage is
concerned. It is reliably reported
that President Harding has told Re
publican leaders that he will not ap
point negroes to office in the South.

GIVES METHOD OF
CULTIVATING POTATOES
SAYS LAND SHOULD BE WELL
PREPARED AND PLENTY OF
FERTILIZER USED. HAS MET
WITH SUCCESS IN POTATOES
By S. J. Smith (Plow Handle*)
The potato curing house in Jack
son is now a fixed fact. The land to
build it on has been bought and the
stock has been subscribed. There
is already a curing house in Flovilla
that has been tried out and has
proved a complete success and this is
the beginning of a great agricul
tural industry for Butts county. It
is now up to the farmers of Butts
county to get behind the movement
and push it to a successful conclu
sion.
For the last several years I have
been planting from three to five
acres in sweet potatoes, but last
year 40-cent cotton caused me to
drift from my moorings and I didn’t
plant but one acre. Now I want to
kick myself for not planting at least
six acres, for I have been able to
get $1.40 per bushel on our local
markets for all I had to sell. I
could sell 500 bushels at that price
by the first of May if I had them
and not have to go out of Butts
county.
Now as we have had some expe
rience in potato culture and as it
might be helpful to some who might
engage in the planting of sweet po
tatoes, we hereby give our mode of
culture: When you go to bed your
potatoek select a loamy spot, put
down a large supply of stable ma
nure and dig in the mafiure as deep
as you can with a mattox or a pick,
then excavate it about 3 or 4 inches
deep, then put down the potatoes.
Then throw enough fine and dry
stable manure on them to cover the
potatoes about half up, then cover
them with the dirt and manure you
have dug up. Cover them about
3 inches deep.
In selecting your potato patch
put them on land that is inclined
enough to drain itself well, for they
will not do well where water stands
on the land, or in other words, on
land that is too flat. The more you
plow and harrow the land before
setting the slips the better the yield.
By all means have the land absolute
ly clear of grass and weeds before
you set the slips. If you don’t you
are likely to have large trouble in
cultivation.
The first plowing plow them deep
with a small scooter but after that
cultivate them very shallow w-ith a
very short scooter and a long scrape.
The long roots ought not to be cut.
It was David Dickson, the greatest
farmer Georgia ever produced, who
said: “1 had just as soon cut the
veins of an ox and try to fatten
him as to cut the roots of growing
"There Is More in the Man
Than There Is in the Land"
This is the year the truth of this old ad
age will be brought home to many people.
It is a time when hard work, close applica
tion, thorough preparation and the liberal use
of fertilizer will count in farming operations.
Considering the increased yield that will re
sult, fertilizers this year is not an expense but
an investment. No farmer can afford to be
sparing in the use of fertilizer when so much
depends on the outcome of this year’s crop.

plants with the plow and expect a
full crop.” Keep your potatoes
clean if you want a full crop.
The growing of sweet potatoes on
a commei'cial scale does not offer a
cure for all our troubles, but is a
step in the right direction.

DISHWASHING MACHINE BUY
ER PROVES ITS EFFICIENCY
As proving the very real effic
iency and desirability of the me
chanical way of washing dishes, a
series of tests recently conducted by
a resident of White Plains, N. Y.,
are extremely interesting. The elec
trical diswasher was placed in this
particular home on and the
skeptical “prospect” started his tests
with a determination to prove the
general worthlessness of the device.
Count was made of the number of
pieces of tableware used by the fam
ily of two adults and two small chil
dren, for each meal, and the opera
tions of handling and washing, both
by hand and machine, also were
counted and timed and tables com
piled, which are given in full in the
April issue of Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
It was found, furthermore, that
the machine’s capacity for washing
the inside of bottles was more than
human, and that greasy pots and
pans, with the aid of a washing pow
der supplied with the apparatus,
promptly became spotless without
any of the usuql unpleasant, effort.
As the machine’s capacity was suffc
ient for the dishes of two meals, it ‘
vas a simple matter to reduce the
number of operations still further.
Asa result, the housewife’s total
gain amounted to two hours a day,
or even more.
Cotton has decreased in price 350
per cent from 45 cents the past
spring to 10 cents i?ow. The cotton
farmer can begin to sympathize
with the newspapers who paid an
advance price of 500 per cent for
newsprint. Both were squeezed un
mei'cifully, but in opposite direc
tions however.
