Plant Vegetable Garden
Every farmer, also every person
living: in towns of Jackson county, if
have land available, should have a
good vegetable garden. If you have
not already planted early vegetables,
then I suggest that you do so at
once. If you have already planted
some vegetables, then I wish to sug
gest that you continue to plant dif
ferent vegetables each week or two
•11 through the summer, so as to
have good garden all the summer and
fall season.
I wish to suggest that the follow
ing vegetables be planted now:
Beans (bush and pole varieties), also
both snap and lima, or butter beans;
beets, cabbage, carrots, cantaloupe,
oollards, corn, cucumbers, egg plant,
kale, lettuce, mustard, okra, onion
sets or plants, parsley, parsnips,
English peas, pepper, Irish potatoes,'
sweet potatoes, radish, rape, spinach,
squash, tomatoes, turnips, water
melon, and anything else you may
wish.
To have enough vegetables at all
seasons, it requires planting of
several different kinds of vegetables,
also periodical planting of same. Al
ways plant more than you think may
need for fresh vegetables, and can
or dry the surplus.
A good garden furnishes the most
wholesome, as well as one of the
most economical foods, we can have
and eat.
A garden will give a greater re
turn for the amount of finaice, fer
tilizer, and labor required than any
other type of farming.
Have a good garden and be
healthy.

County Agri. Agent.
CONCERNING CROP PRODUC
TION LOAN MONEY
Borrowers are free to use the
proceeds of their loans for any
needed supplies within the regula
tions, using their best judgement to
obtain the best possible value for the
money expended.
This quotation from a letter is
sued by the Crop Production Loan
Office of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, clears up any confusion
that may exist among farmers as to
the use of the money obtained. The
letter clearly points out that regu
lations governing crop production
loans do not contain any require
ments or even suggestions that cer
tain brands or makes of materials
be purchased.
The letter in full, as received by
Extension Directors, and transmit
ted to County Agents and others,
reads as follows:
“To all State and field supervisors:
The regulation governing crop pro
duction loans do not contain any
requirement or suggestion to borrow
ers as to the purchase, from the pro
ceeds of loans, of supplies of any
particular brand or manufacture.
.Borrowers are free to use the pro
ceeds of their loans for any needed
supplies within the regulations, us
ing their best efforts to obtain the
best possible value for the money ex
pended. It is not a part of your
duty to suggest or direct crop loan
borrowers to buy goods of any par
ticular brand or manufacture or to
purchase supplies from any particu
lar source.
“Very truly yours,
“C. W. Warburton,
“In Charge of
“Crop Production Loans.” •
County Agents have all received
this letter. Any questiohs on the
subject farmers may wish to bring
up will be answered immediately
through the agent’s office.

Superstition In Our Lives
From a study at Columbia Univer
sity it was found that nine out of
ten people are ruled by superstition
in n way. That is they are influenc
ed more or less.
Either the “thirteen” or the “brok
en mirror" or the “walking-under
the-ladder” business gets them. Wo
men are more superstitious than
men, and country people are more
superstitious than city folks accord
ing to the report of a survey publish
ed in the American Magazine. Stage
people, sailors, prize fighters and
politicians are more superstitious
than other occupations.
The investigator:! have concluded
that superstition goes too far—does
more harm than good. Apparently
some people are letting superstition
run their lives. Rather than use in
telligence and reason, they allow
signs and fear to govern their ac
tions.
Asa test of any individual’s sus
ceptibility to superstition, a series of
twenty questions are set down in
front of him. Each question asks
him whether he is a believer in a
certain prevalent superstition. For
any superstition which he follows, he
gets a score of 5, for every “no” he
scores zero. His total score, if un
der 50, indicates that he is less sup
erstitious than the average. Here are
some of the typical questions:
Do you believe that thirteen is an
unlucky number?
Do you consider it lucky to find a
four-leaved clover?
If you spill salt do you throw a
little of it over your left shoulder?
Are you afraid to open an umbrel
la indoors?
Do you believe that breaking a
mirror foretells seven years’ bad
luck?
Are you afraid to start an import
ant piece of work on Friday?
Do you avoid walking under a lad
der?
Do you knock on wood when tell
ing of your personal successes?
Do you believe that a small mouth
indicates stinginess and a large
mouth means generosity?
Do you believe that if wild ani
mals develop unusually heavy coats
of fur, the following winter will be
a severe one?

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Plant Blue And
Gray Violets On
Veteran’s Graves
As the date for Decoration Day
approaches, our readers will enjoy
the following by a Professor
at Oglethorpe University:
* • *
In the open piney woods of Ogle
thorpe University there are numer
ous natural beds of wild violets such
perhaps as may be found in many
other Georgia woods. Two of these
vdolets are especially attractive, a
blue (purplish) and a gray.
The common name of the blue is
bird-foot violet, so called because of
the shape of its deeply lobed leaves.
The gray is commonly known as the
Confederate violet on account of the
striking gray color of its petals.
These violets, both the blue and
the gray, are said to be stemless,
but this is hardly true; the stems,
however, are intrenched, slightly un
der the surface of the soil; only the
leaves and flowers rise above the
ground.
They bear sensitive capsules (seed
pods) which, when mature, burst
with considerable force and disperse
their seeds in all directions.
In the figurative language of flow
ers, the violet is said to symbolize
Fidelity and Watchfulness. One day,
on Georgia soil, even here, on the
borders of this campus, the soldiers
of Blue and Gray struggled hand-to
hand, brother against brother.
And inasmuch as those days are
far gone, and we are about to come,
on Decoration Day, to memorialize
our honored dead, both the Blue and
the Gray, let us plant violets, both
blue and gray, on their graves as to
kens of our fidelity to the eternal
light of truth as we see it.
In the glimmer of such a light of
their own they fought and died. And
now we burst a violet shell, a pledge
to them that all is well.
And still the Blue and Gray
Are here intrenched on Georgia
soil;
I watch them day by day
And see them move in silent toil.
Now April bows to May
And from their shallow earthen
beds
They rise in dress array
And lift aloft their faithful heads.
Here standing face to face,
Like soldiers brave, and calm and
true,
Each fills his watching place
In lines of Gray and Blue,
And such with silent grace
Holds concealed a loaded shell,
The emblem of his race—
The shells now burst! But all is
well.
I raise my flag today
And walk beneath the moaning
pines
And pause awhile to pray
Among the stones that stand in
lines,
And ere I turn away
I burst a seeded vi’let shell
On mounds of Blue and Gray
And pledges to them that all is
well.
For battles they here fought
We honor them and love them
still.
Through deeds that time has
wrought.
Wrought by a mystic master will.
The things which they here taught
Become a part of things which
swell
Our souls to deeper thought,
Through which we pledge, that all
is well.
CHICKEN PIE IS SERVED
DAILY FOR 70 YEARS
Smithville, Ga. —For more than
seventy years there has been chick
en on the table at the Hotel McAfee
here. In fact, the hostelry is better
known to the traveling public as
“Chicken Pie House.”
Friday that record was broken
when it was found impossible to
open the dining room at all, because
of damage by a fire which broke out
Thursday in the old frame building.
Passengers on the Macon and Al
bany trains and on a junction line to
Eufaula and Montgomery in Alaba
ma, were given thirty minutes here
to eat and were lured to the hotel by
a great bell in the hands of a white
jacketed negro.
There is a tradition here that
when the original McAfee, founder
of the hotel, died he made provision
in his will that chicken pie must be
served every day. This is probably
unfounded. However, various man
agers of the hotel during its seventy
years of experience have had chick
en on the table every day—until to
day.

In the Merry Month of May
SO sang Chaucer of his favorite month, because
he knew that all you need for a successful May
• Day party is good weather. So if “fiery
Phebus,” the sun, has dried with his streaming rays
“the silver drops hanging on the leaves," to put
Chaucer's words into more modern English, you
are all set for a merry party on this most auspicious
day of the year.
What sort of a party shall it be? .Indoors or out?
Outdoors, of course, if possible. Plenty of flowers,
real or artificial, and a sweet little May Queen who
is not artificial at all, are two of the essentials.
If the party has to be Indoors, there are plenty of
paper flowers to be bought or made (they sell you
the "makings” and instructions and everything
nowadays), and it’s fun to mix in as many real
flowers as you can conveniently get, and make
people guess which are the real and which the
artificial ones. The May Queen might exact a for
feit from anyone who guesses wrong.
For an Outdoor Party
If the party is outdoors, Nature will provide the
i flowers and the grass and the sunshine and
light wind to cool off the glowing cheeks
the May Queen’s excited courtiers. She’ll^^M*l|
provide everything, in fact, except the
Maypole, and she’ll grow that for you,
so that all you have to do is to cut it
down and transport it to wherever you
want to set it up.
But, stay! There’s one more thing to
be provided for a really successful May
Day party. And that’s food. Even
Queens and courtiers must eat. In fact,
they’re likely to have pretty lively ap
petites after dancing around a Maypole
and playing tag. So here’s a menu
calculated to meet the most exacting
May Day appetites, and to enable the
Queen and her court to go home satis
fied to a good long night of unbroken
sleep.

The silver dropcs, hanging on the leves.”
