EASTER CLOTHING
The Wonderful, Colorful Styles
of These Suits Truly
Suggest Easter
IT’S the first time in many seasons
that fashion has permitted a man
to use pretty much of his own taste
in colors. And what handsome se
lections there are.
Lavenders, Greys, Tans, Blues and
mixtures —everything anybody could
think of. And the way the ADLER
COLLEGIAN and GRIFFON people
have tailored the new, soft-draping
styles into them certainly makes
these suits a tempting buy. Good
choosing here for the man who likes
to dress particularly well.

WEEKLY SMILE
(C.J.T.—Phila.,Pa.)
v
Coffee and tea are killing more
people today than liquor. This state
ment may not impress you very much
but if you will read, carefully, what
I am going to write, 1 am sure that
I will be able to change your views
to a certain extent.
Coffee, tea and coca cola contain
caffiene, the worst nerve wrecker
known today. Every town is chock
full of slaves to that little drug caf
fiene and nine out of ten of these
people are nervous people.
A few days ago, while in a restau
rant, I overheard the conversation
of three men, one of whom was tell
ing a great story about how he had
been treated by seven doctors for
stomach trouble and all of them, he
claimed, diagnosed his case different
ly. He was "cussing” doctors. I
butted in to find out what some of
the symptoms of his trouble were
and what do you think they were?
Trouble after eating, including gas
on the stomach, palpitation of the
heart, etc. I said, “Tell me no more—
I can tell you your trouble right
now.” At that time he sat there
with a cup of coffee in his hand
and one of the men stated that he
had drank three cups at that one
sitting. Old coffee (caffiene) had
him a nervous wreck and he was to
be pitied as much as the morphine or
cocaine fiend. He couldn’t digest a
piece of bread. I told him that cof
fee would finally kill him and it will.
He informed me that he drank as
high as ten cups in one day. Down
in Louisiana the French Creoles drink
it every hour and if they skip an hour
they go wild.
In Norfolk, Virginia, there is a
woman who drinks as high as fifteen
glasses of iced tea in one day. In
Asheville, N. C., there is a young
man whom coffee has completely
wrecked. These are only a few of
hundreds of cases that I have come
in contact with.
If you are a coffee or tea drinker
and do not think that you are a slave
to it, try to quit drinking it and
you’ll find that you have tackled one
of the hardest problems you have
ever tackled.
The Jews own this country,
The Irish run it,
The British envy it,
The Germans cuss it,
The negroes enjoy it,
The French style and perfume it,
The Chinese wash it,
The Bootleggers irrigate it,
The Greeks feed and shine it,
The Japs fear it,
The Mexicans hate it,
The Italians fruit it,
All nations cigarette it,
And the Americans, those poor simps
pay the bills and can keep out of
jail if they can pay their taxes, sup
port their families, and work like
the deuce and behave themselves and
watch their driving and parking.
O, lovely women! God dress ’em
we couldn’t do without ’em.
Listen to this. A few weeks ago I
told you about one of our salesladies
at Gimbels, a Miss Husted, passing
through Hartwell and meeting and
talking to Claude Herndon and my
brother, Carl, while en route to
Florida. Well, today she returned
to her job at Gimbels and when I
saw her I said, "And you really pass
ed through Hartwell, Ga.?” “Yes,”
she answered, “and when I went in
to that drug store to buy a card to
mail back to you, they wouldn’t take
any money for the card and stamp.”
I said, “Yes, you really passed through
Hartwell for that sounds like Hart
well folks.” She told this to all of
the salespeople. The card and the
stamp didn’t amount to much in cents
but it amounted to no telling how
much in advertisement for the old
Southland, for hundreds perhaps, will
hear her tell of her visit to the
South and will hear her say as she
said to all of the sales people in our
department, “The people down South
seem so friendly.” It is the little
things that count.
Numbers and numbers, of times I
have seen Claude and Clayte Hern
don refuse to take money from
strangers for drinks at their soda
fountain and friendly acts of this
kind and their method of fair deal
ing has built up for them the en
viable reputation which they now
have.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning once
wrote:
“A poor man served by thee shall
make thee rich,
“A sick man helped by thee shall
make thee strong;
"Thou shalt be served thyself by
every sense of service which thou
renderest.”
Whittier wrote these words:
“When we climb to heaven,, ’tis
on the rounds of love to men.”
Emerson wrote; “Life is not so
short but that there is time for
courtesy.”
The Delaware House of Represent
atives by a vote of 31 to 1 refused to
do away with the whipping post in
that state, on March 25th. Wife
beating and other similar crimes are
punishable by fine and a whipping
“to boot” in that state. Seems to
me that other states should have
this law.

WITH COUNTY AGENT BINGHAM
_______ .
Boy* Club Leader*
A leader boy for each school in
the county has been appointed to
enroll and look after the club boys
in the respective schools. To the
leader which does the best work with
the boys of club ages in his school
this year, a free trip to Chicago, 111.,
in December will be given.
A splendid meeting was held in
the office of the County Agent last
Saturday, at which most of these
leader boys from over the county
attended. They were the most en
thusiastic bunch you ever saw, and
great plans were developed by them.
It was voted that a camp of all
club boys should be held in the moanr
tains sometime in the summer, and
that each leader should undertake to
secure autos for all members in his
community.
The leaders are working out a club
program for the year, and will meet
again Saturday, April 11th, to finish
these up. It is expected that the
entire group of leaders for the coun
ty will be present at this time.
Fred Edwards, Tallie Whitaker,
Frank Sanders, Hoyt Hailey, Aris
Adams, Norward Ayers, Joel Johnson
and Milton Bartlett were present at
the lust meeting Saturday. The Star
theatre complimented each of these
boys with an admission to the after
noon show, which all enjoyed very
much.
Leipedeza.
Lespedeza is ordinary wild or Ja
pan Clover. A new use is being made
of it at present. Farmers are sow
ing about 15 to 25 pounds per acre
in oats and wheat now, and after
the grain is harvested the Lespedeza
will grow on thru the summer, and
be turned under this fall. It will
make a good growth on small land,
and is highly rich in nitrogen. Fif
teen pounds per acre is much cheaper
than peas, and the results are more
satisfactory. Lespedeza will not grow
tall, but it makes a very thick growth
which more than offsets the low
growth.
Anderson county is using a great
deal of it this year, the County Agent
there reporting more than 100 bushel
already sown.
We would be glad to see a few
farmers here try it out. The seed
are cheaper than peas per acre. They
should be sown not later than two
weeks from now. Let us help you
ut with a few aerw.
Orchard*.
More farmers than ever are spray
ing orchards this year. We are
adding new names to our list of de
monstrators every day. At present
over 100 farmers received instruc
tions on how, when, and why to spray
regularly as the time for each appli
catioa draws near. If your name is
not on this list send it in at once, and
received this information regularly.
Peaches and apples should be spray
ed at once to prevent worms. Worms
are easily controlled by spraying with
arsenate of lead to kill the beetles
which look very much like boll wee
vils. Peaches should be sprayed with
a mixture of one pound arsenate of
lead, three pounds of lime and fifty
gallons of water. The spray should
be put on as soon as the petals or
flower leaves shed off, and then again
as soon as the peaches begin burst
ing thru the shucks, which is when
the peaches are about the size of
peas.
Apples should be sprayed with a
mixture of one gallon of concentrat
ed lime sulphur solution, to forty gal
lons of water, with arsenate of lead
added at the rate of one pound to
fifty gallons of this spray.
Ask for bulletins, spray calendars,
etc. You have paid for them.
Marketing Egg*.
A co-operative agreement has been
worked out with the Extension Di
vision of the State College of Agri
culture, Poultry Department, State
Bureau of Markets, Atlantic Ice and
Coal Company of Atlanta, Radroad
agents, etc., whereby an attempt will
be made to store some eggs in At
lanta for experimental purposes.
Tennessee and North Carolina are
already doing this and it has been
successful two years. Georgia’s going
to come along in due time. The above
parties want this county to select
75 cases of fresh eggs to be stored
in the next few weeks. These eggs
can be put on storage for a cost of
not more than 5c per dozen for all
costs until December first. They will
be withdrawn from storage and sold
during the fall months when eggs
are cheap.
Last year’s eggs went into storage
in the spring at 20c to 25c per dozen
and were sold in the fall for 40c to
45c per dozen. North Carolina now
farmers, and each farmers gets 17c
has about a dozen cars in storage by
per dozen for his eggs when they
go into storage. He will get the
rest of the money when his eggs are
sold in the fall.
No one has ever attempted to
handle Georgia eggs in this way. The
farmers has been content to produce
them, and wonder why someone with
a great deal of grace does not come
along and work out the selling plans
for him. The farmer is the grower
and he should see that he gets his
product to the market. But he has
not done thia.
Now is the time for the farmers
of Hart county to make a demon
stration for the state of Georgia in
storing eggs. If it works out suc
cessfully, then we should be able to
store large numbers of eggs another
year, and get good prices for them
in the fall. We can store only 75

cases in this experiment. The eggs
must be fresh, clean and have good
shells. Full details of how they must
be gathered, handled, etc for this
test will be given at meeting to be
held this week in the county, ac
cording to a letter sent out. Special
ist and experts from the college and
bureau of markets will be with us
in the county this week and next
to explain how this project will be
carried on and how and to ask your
co-operation.
No advance can be made on these
eggs this year. But another year
we can work out alright with larger
amounts of eggs. With 75 cases it
could not be done.
If you have a good many fresh
eggs, we want you to put in several
dozen or a case or two in this ex
periment. Ask for details.
Pure Cotton Seed*.
Pure cotton seeds will give a
farmer an income of 500 per cent to
1000 per een on investment. You
can afford to buy seed to plant your
whole crop, if they are good seeds.
Be sure they are good seeds. There
are lots of so-called pure seeds, but
be careful.
The Georgia Seed Growers Co
operative Association, which has it
headquarters at Hartwell has the
very last word in good seeds of the
College No. 1, Wannamaker Cleve
land, Piedmont Cleveland, and Acala
cotton. We know of no seeds which
will beat these. These three varie
ties should cover the field in varie
ties.
These seeds are being offered at
remarkably low prices, and farmers
who are not growing them should
buy a supply for this year’s crop.
Not only this, but Hart county
farmers should plant a big acreage of
these seeds, have them registered,
and join tihs association. The asso
ciation will be able to sell all the
pure seeds which this county ean
grow. Just today they filled one
order for 500 bushels, and several
orders have gone out in lots of one
to fifty bags. Seeds have been sold
in every Southern state this year,
and another year the reputation of
this association should be so well
established that even larger amounts
of seeds can be sold.
We urge you to patronize this home
institution.
Fertilizer*.
We have given assistance to large
numbers of farmers this spring in
regard to fertilizer formulas. There
is a general mix-up in the minds of
farmers m to the kind of formula
to use.
Bear in mind that nitrogen is the
most valuable part of a fertilizer,
and that the cotton plant uses more
than twice as much nitrogen as any
other plant food. As a general rule
the nitrogen in a fertilizer should be
at least half that of the phosphorous.
This means that instead of n 9-3-3.
it should boa 9-4 Mi-4. Or instead of
a 12-4-4, it should be a 12-6-4. Re
member that the first number refers
to phosphorous, and the second re
fers to nitrogen, and that the second
number should be half as large as
the first, and on thin land even larg
er. The third number refers to the
potash.
A 12-4-4 is a no better balanced
fertilizer than a 9-3-3. The nitrogen
is one third in amount of the phos
phorous in both. If one is not bal
anced, then the other is not. Three
tons of a 12-4-4 is equal to four
tons of a 9-3-3, and that is the only
difference, if they are made of simi
lar materials.
Large amounts of nitrogen should
be used under cotton with boll
weevil condition. This nitrogen should
be mostly from nitrate of soda. Con
trary to what most people feel, soda
will make cotton early. Experiments
fro mall Southern Stations prove
to 200 pounds per acre pays best of
this. Nitrate of Soda at from 100
all. Do not think that soda will make
late, but it will make lots more
your cotton late. It will make some
earlier.
Elias McGhee, a big South Caro
lina farmer who runs 125 plows is
going to use 200 lbs. of soda per
acre on most of his crop. He says
that it beats the bool weevil.
The Way Out.
Many have bought a 9-3-3, or sim
ilar fertilizer already, the way out
is to apply nitrate of soda at the
rate of 50 to 100 lbs. per acre, either
at planting or at not later than early
chopping. This much soda per acre
will even up a 9-3-3 which is not
balanced, and will make it right.
If this matter is not clear, call on
us Saturday in the office, and we
can convince you. Go by what your
experiment stations have proved, and
by what thousands of good farmers
are practicing. Large numbers of
them are using a high grade fertili
zer in Hart county, but not enough
are doing it.

MR. W. A. SANDERS
Mr. W. A. Sanders, a pioneer citi
zen of Hart county, but who removed
to Elbert county some twenty-five
years ago, died at his home on the
26th of March, 1925, in his 91st year.
His body was brought to Hart county
last Friday and buried at Milltown,
his old home church where he had
been an honored deacon for many
years.
Rev. T. A. Thornton, who had
been his pastor in the years gone by,
conducted the funeral services as
sisted by Rev. J. C. West, his Elbert
i county pastor. Mr. Sanders was al-
I ways highly esteemed by all who
I knew him. “He was a good man,”
and there is consolation for his rela
i tives and friends that his body now
i sleeps beside his first devoted wife
I near the church to which he was so
< devoted.
Several children and a devoted
wife keenly feel the departure of an
affectionate father and lovable hus
band.
