SPEAKING OF WEATHER
“Variety is the spice of life,” says
I the adage, and when March came
“marching in” she brought an assort
ment of weather to please the most
fastidious.
There have beeen summer days,
rainy days, cloudy days, seme spring
weather —and on Monday night and
Tuesday a wind that evidently had
been playing with an iceberg some
where.
A report first of the wek to The I
Sun state that the weather would be'
“somewhat below normal.”
And for once the weather man hit
it. He should have said “SOME
WHAT” in big letters, however, for
the waterworks froze, the old flivver
radiator caked up with ice, and moth
er’s flowers “frize.”
Just what is in store for us the bal
ance of March we can’t say, but his
tory tells us that the weather is al
ways rather unsettled just about this
time, folks.

Building Up Hart’s Soils Is
Biggest Job Now, Says Fry
That poor soil is doing far more
harm to Hart county than the weevil
was a statement Prof. H. L. Fry, head
of the Reed Creek Consolidated school,
had made before and in a talk to the
Kiwanis Club last Friday again em
phasized this fact.
In telling cf the experience of 14 vo
cational agricultural boys of the Reed
Creek school, he very forcibly illu
strated the truth above. One boy
with the same fertilizer, the same poi
son, same seed, same amount of
work and overhead expense identical
all the way through made approxi
mately SBO on a piece cf land while
the other boy made $175, on a tract of
land slightly smaller in area.
Run-down soil was the trouble here,
and Mr. Fry has convinced the peo
ple of this section that soil-building
is of first importance, perhaps.
Tcunty Agent Bingham was in
charge of the program, and called on
Kiwanian W. S. who until re
cently was the efficient Agent for
Walton county. Mr. Long is as well
informed, perhaps, as anyone in the
State on agriculture, and he also
stressed the preparation of soil, use
of good fertilizer, rapid and shallow
cultivation in working the 1924 cot
ton crop here. Mr. Long is indeed
an addition to Hartwell and the coun-

Mrs. Guy Snow
Mrs. Guv Snow, age 38, died at her
I home on south Elbert street last Sun-
I day morning, March 9th, 1924, at 5
I o’clock.
She had been in ill health for sev
eral years, and for the past three
months had been confined to her bed
most all the time. Death was the re
sult of a complication, and while ev
ery medical aid was given, and a num
ber of operations performed, she was"
not strong enough to overcome them.
Mrs. Snow was a patient sufferer,
and her Christian fortitude was as a
shining light to all who knew her
during the years she had been afflict
ed.
The deceased was born in Hart
ccunty on April 15, ’BB6, being a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Shiflet,
her mother surviving.
Some 22 years ago she wa= mar
ried to Mr. Guy Snow, and had been ,
a most devoted wife.

Hon. W. B. McMullan, who has
made somewhat of an enviable cot
ton production record under boll wee
vil conditions, was also called on by
Mr. Bingham, and told of his methods
which prove interesting. He advo
cates poison, waiting until winter is
over to plant cotton, and staying with
it after it does come out of the ground
until the last boll is oicked.
Organize “Hi-Y Club”
Supt. Allman, of the Hartwell
schools, announced that through the
1. in. C. A. a “Hi-Y” club had been
organized in the high school,' and ex
plained same to the Club. T he club
is composed of students, who eject
from itheir own ranks officers. It pro
motes Christian citizenship, and is per
haps one of the most worthy moves
ever made in the local school system.
Mr. Chapman Bowers, prominent
young business man, of Canon, was a
visitor, the guest of Kiwanian I. J.
Phillips.
President J. H. Skelton urged the
pushing of a clean-up campaign for
Hartwell, and it very likely that such
a program will be called right away.
Certainly there is nothing of more im
portance from a standpoint of health
than having Hartwell just as clean as I
is possible to make the city.
