Hart County Canning Club Girls could easily ship a carload of Canned
Fruits and Vegetables this fall and have plenty for home consumption
and local markets, and profit by their efforts, if they only had something
to prepare and something to prepare it with.
4 With over half the nation’s population eating out of tin cans and paper
sacks, and 111 of our rural schools teaching the girls how to prepare and
can fruits and vegetables, how many are we Georgians feeding?
LET’S INCREASE PRODUCTION AND CONSUME ONLY PART OF
* OUR PRODUCTS.
It’s like interest—if it’s coming our way it’s good, but if it’s going the other way it’s bad, for us
Give the Canning Club Girls something to prepare and something to prepare with and they
will show the way to a better day.

have reported, thus far, good work
begun and reports still coming. W e
wish all of these girls could be pres
ent. Several community clubs have
reported on Home Improvement.

come and let’s get help and inspira

of our communities the spirit “Ser- •
vice” and “Cooperation,” but it’s
coming.
Spray or Dust Tomatoes.
When you are troubled with toma
to fruit worm as you were last year
spray or dust with arsenate of lead.
This pest likes corn better than any
thing else and it will be well to grow
a few rows of corn in the tomato
field, and it should be planted early
enough to have it in the roasting ear
stage when the tomatoes are about
half grown.
Method of dusting with arsenate of
lead:
1 1-2 pound of arsenate of lead,
50 gallons of water, milk of lime
made from 3 or 4 pounds of lump
lime.
This mixture is probably more
satisfactory than in the dust form.
Give first application when first to
matoes are about the size of a large
plum. Repeat every ten days until
the tomatoes are nearly grown.
Or, better still, combine arsenate
of lead with Bordeaux mixture and
give the same number of sprayings,
and Bordeaux will control the dis- i
ease and arsenate the worms.
If you haven’t the Vegetable Gar
dening in Georgia which has in it a
planting table please call for one,
or write to the College of Agricul
ture for a copy.

TAXATION AND PAVING
When a town or county can get 75
per cent of expenses paid by the
State Highway Department for pav
ing a street or road it should be con
sidered an opportunity for doing a
great work upon a very reasonable
basis.
There should be some plan work
ed out by which we can accept this
proposition and do some permanent
work upon the streets and highways.
The money available Tor perma
nent work should not be used for any
other ptirpose. This particular mon
ey should not be used in doing half
handed patch work upon the average
roads. The money that is paid in for
maintenance and patching the aver
age road by the average citizen
should not be used in paving.
We need a paving fund provided
especially for paving certain roads
and also maintenance funds for
: maintaining the average country
roads and never allow one to suffer
at the expense of the other.
To take from the small funds that
| are paid in for building country
; roads and begin paving would be
worse than folly. When we have an
opportunity to do constructive work
\ upon a reasonable basis we should
; at once work a system of financing
it without embarrassment or loss to
any section.
We have an opportunity to do
something real and constructive for
Hart county. Our people are clam
oring for a lower tax rate and less
taxes and at the same time we are
clamoring for more consolidated
schools, graded roads and paved
streets. Hart county deserves bet
ter roads and schools and our peo
ple are justified in making demands
for programs. Hartwell deserves a
paved street and her people are jus
tified in demanding it, provided we
are willing to do certain things. To
build a better school, a better road
or pave a street calls for a higher
tax rate and here is where we need
to meet together in open court and
thresh out one of the most essential
programs that we have had in twenty
years.
Hart county has a tax digest
amounting to two million six hun
dred thousand dollars. We have
property in the town and county
worth one million four hundred thou
sand dollars that is not on the digest.

If this property was put on the di
gest we would have taxabkr property
amounting to four million dollar;.
This remedy should appeal to every
patriotic citizen that claims to be
lieve in good schools, good roads or
paved streets. What would it mean
to the people of old Hart county if
all our folks had made fair returns
of their property for the last ten
years? We could have had a lower
tax rate and at the same time better
schools, better roads and a few pav
ed streets.
The tax dodger holds the key to
success or failure in Hart county and
we challenge every patriotic law
abiding citizen of Hartwell and Hart
county to forget the subject of roads,
building good schools and paving
streets until we can unite as one man
and make complete returns of all
the property of the town and coun
ty and then with every citizen bear
ing his or her part of the expense
we can build upon a foundation that
will satisfy any citizen that believes
in a square deal.
